The wife of data privacy professor Xiaofeng Wang, who was fired from his tenured job at Indiana University, Bloomington (IU) the same day the couple’s houses were searched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation last month, said on Monday that she believes her family has been unfairly targeted by the US government and is the victim of what she described as “misplaced accusations of academic misconduct.” “Our family is determined to fight, not only for ourselves, but for the broader research comm

That would mark the start of a global climate disaster. The glacier itself holds enough ice to raise ocean levels by more than two feet, which could flood coastlines and force tens of millions of people living in low-lying areas to abandon their homes. The loss of the entire ice sheet—which could still take centuries to unfold—would push up sea levels by 11 feet and redraw the contours of the continents. This is why Thwaites is known as the doomsday glacier—and why scientists are eager to unde

The world is full of good ideas misapplied, so I want to be careful when discussing OODA loops. The OODA loop was created as an idea in the study of war. War is endemic to the way humans are (at least, so far), but it is always, in part or in whole, a tragedy. And characterizing software engineering, business operations or entrepreneurship as a conflict in that vein can create an overly aggressive view of the world. But, I belive, this concept can be adapted to a more civilian setting. The key d

A hot potato: Big tech companies have been quick to put an end to or cut back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, a response to pressure from Donald Trump and his administration. Pushing back against the trend is Apple, whose shareholders voted down a proposal to dismantle its DEI initiatives this week. However, Trump has now personally urged the company to end these diversity policies. Meta and Google are just two of the tech firms to end their diversity hiring goals and scr
