    No planned release in Japan? What, it made too much money elsewhere so they don&amp;#39;t want to release it here? (Coyote v. Acme, if that&amp;#39;s not showing up properly.) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1756855/releaseinfo/

    Indonesia&amp;#39;s per capita GDP has doubled since I became a professor. Coincidence? I think not.

    Yes, I&amp;#39;m afraid it&amp;#39;s true. Dave Farber passed away suddenly on Saturday. We are working to handle all of the arrangements here. The &amp;quot;tsuya&amp;quot; (wake -- more formal than an Irish wake, but less formal than a funeral) will be Thursday evening 1800-2030, then the funeral will be 1100 on Friday, both at Himonya Kaikan in Meguro, if you are in/around Tokyo. And if not, there is time to jump on a plane and get here. https://www.ccrc.keio.ac.jp/obituary-notice_david-farb...

    For quantum computing &amp;amp; communication folks out there, I am looking for additional Associate Editors for IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering. HMU if you are interested in giving back to the community that supports your research! #QuantumComputing #QuantumInternet
