I love how simple Kitten’s Streaming HTML workflow makes building features like this, especially when using class-based Kitten pages and components :)

faculty_hiring: Faculty hiring networks (Comp. Sci., Business, History)
Three networks of faculty hiring in Computer Science Departments, Business Schools, and History Departments. Each node is a PhD-granting institution in the respective field, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2013). All data collected from faculty public rosters at the sampled institutions.

"A key simplification is that E.ON has now built an integration between E.ON's smart electricity meters and the digital flexibility platform SWITCH. This means that the measurement data required to participate can be retrieved automatically"
This is E.ON Sweden, not Germany of course.

E.ON ökar satsningen på flexibilitetsmarknader till 25 miljoner – och gör det enklare för fler att delta | E.ON Sverige AB
E.ON fortsätter att bygga ut de lokala flexibilitetsmarknaderna i Sverige och avsätter 25 miljoner kronor för kommande vintersäsong, en ökning med fem miljoner kronor från i fjol. Samtidigt lanseras nya digitala funktioner som gör det enklare för nätkunder att delta och få betalt för att bidra till ett mer effektivt elnät.

Abstract: We propose two efficient algorithms for generating uniform random directed acyclic graphs, including an asymptotically optimal exact-size sampler that performs $\frac{n^2}{2} o(n^2)$ operations and requests to a random generator. This was achieved by extending the Boltzmann model for graphical generating functions and by using various decompositions of directed acyclic graphs. The presented samplers improve upon the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of theoretical complexity and offer a significant speed-up in practice.

Trump DoJ ‘immediately’ stops enforcing prison rape protections for trans and intersex people, according to a leaked memo
The Department of Justice instructed prison auditors across the country to simply stop assessing whether facilities are violating laws designed to shield LGBT prisoners from sexual abuse

Trump DoJ ‘immediately’ suspends prison rape protections for trans and intersex people, according to leaked memo
Civil rights advocates described the changes as a government ‘endorsement’ of sexual abuse against LGBT+ prisoners

La langue française est parfois si belle. Sur franceinfo: "Une affirmation répétée Š l'envi mais dont la crédibilité semble mise Š rude épreuve." C'est une phrase clé qui reflète la pratique de communication actuelle des entreprises et des politiques. Même en prison, Sarko nie encore.

ENQUETE. Scandale des eaux Perrier : Nestlé mis en demeure après une pollution, la production à l’arrêt
Les autorités adressent à la firme une mise en demeure après un épisode de pollution lié à l’usage de produits chimiques dans l’usine de Vergèze dans le Gard, après la découverte de bactéries. Avec des rejets dépassant trois fois les normes, la procédure pourrait conduire à suspendre l’exploitation.
