Milwaukee & Madison DSA have endorsed Hong for Governor of Wisconsin.
“Working people have seen that the system doesn’t work for them. Time and again, the establishment has failed us so as not to upset their billionaire donors. As ICE threatens to terrorize our communities and kidnap our neighbors, Francesca Hong stands committed to fight back as the only candidate calling for their abolition.”

Nach einer Einigung mit der Staatsanwaltschaft konnte der Gründer von TerraUSD auf eine geringere Strafe hoffen. Das Gericht hat dabei aber nicht mitgemacht.

They surveyed 2,388 tenured and tenure-track faculty, and ~644 responded. I don't think that it's too controversial to say that a group of highly educated people who are willing to self-identify their political leaning would be overwhelmingly liberal.
"Fewer than 10 percent of faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison identify as conservative, while 70 percent identify as liberal, according to a new poll from the school’s Tommy G. Thompson Center"

Abstract: The Cartesian tree of a sequence captures the relative order of the sequence's elements. In recent years, Cartesian tree matching has attracted considerable attention, particularly due to its applications in time series analysis. Consider a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$. In the exact Cartesian tree matching problem, the task is to find all length-$m$ fragments of $T$ whose Cartesian tree coincides with the Cartesian tree $CT(P)$ of the pattern. Although the exact version of the problem can be solved in linear time [Park et al., TCS 2020], it remains rather restrictive; for example, it is not robust to outliers in the pattern.
To overcome this limitation, we consider the approximate setting, where the goal is to identify all fragments of $T$ that are close to some string whose Cartesian tree matches $CT(P)$. In this work, we quantify closeness via the widely used Hamming distance metric. For a given integer parameter $k>0$, we present an algorithm that computes all fragments of $T$ that are at Hamming distance at most $k$ from a string whose Cartesian tree matches $CT(P)$. Our algorithm runs in time $\mathcal O(n \sqrt{m} \cdot k^{2.5})$ for $k \leq m^{1/5}$ and in time $\mathcal O(nk^5)$ for $k \geq m^{1/5}$, thereby improving upon the state-of-the-art $\mathcal O(nmk)$-time algorithm of Kim and Han [TCS 2025] in the regime $k = o(m^{1/4})$.
On the way to our solution, we develop a toolbox of independent interest. First, we introduce a new notion of periodicity in Cartesian trees. Then, we lift multiple well-known combinatorial and algorithmic results for string matching and periodicity in strings to Cartesian tree matching and periodicity in Cartesian trees.

Vielleicht wäre es eine gute Idee,
im Schweizerischen Gesundheitssystem mehr auf liebevolles Personal, psychologisch geschulte Ärzte und ganzheitlich denkende medizinische Mitarbeiterinnen zu setzen, als auf unbezahlbare allerneueste Medikamente?
Das würde unser System effizienter und vermutlich auch billiger machen... und die Schweiz weniger erpressbar.
