Homotopy type of complements of fiber-type curves
In this note we study the homotopy type of the complement of a plane projective curve of fiber-type. Roughly speaking, a curve of fiber-type is a finite union of fibers of a pencil. Under some restrictions, a full description of their homotopy type is given. In the context of fiber-type curves, we also partially answer in the positive a question originally posed by Libgober on the homotopy type of complements of plane curves, namely, whether or not the homotopy type of a curve complement is det…

I signed up for Apple TV trial last night and watched season 1 of “Murderbot”.
I largely enjoyed it, but had a lengthy conversation about Mensa’s panic attacks with another fan of the books. *That* was the thing on which we anchored. Then other divergences from the book.
I found I am now referring to Murderbot as ‘he,’ because of the actor.
Also, the contrast on Murderbot’s proxy display for the audience was crap. I know I missed gags as a result. Fuzzy red? Really? Backpl…

Language learning has been part of me since high school. I'm solid in 2 non-English languages, crappy but survivable in 2 others. I've played with & started learning others many times.
I'm real busy rn, but language learning could be a fun thing to do for myself & make me feel like I'm still me.
But I'm stumped about my language picks. I learnt the obvious European languages in school; later tried key Asian languages. What do I want to do now?
African languages? I won't be getting a chance to use them much in Aus, & I'm unlikely to get to a stage where I can read literature.
I tried Slovenian/Slovene on a whim & really love it, but I'll never go there. Is the practical but unfun answer grind out more kanji/hanzi? Or is whimsically learning a language spoken by only 2.5 million people reasonable? I will continue struggling through with Ukrainian, 'cause I think it's important.

Die internationale Bewertungsagentur CRIF hat vermutlich deinen Namen, Anschrift und Geburtsdatum und berechnet damit einen "Score". Banken, Mobilfunker und andere rufen diesen Score ab und entscheiden so, ob du "kreditwürdig" bist.
@noybeu möchte nun Licht ins Dunkel bringen und eine Sammelklage einreichen für jene wo der Score so gar nicht stimmt. Ich habe mitgemacht - hilf auch du auf

Let's say you find a really cool forum online that has lots of good advice on it. It's even got a very active community that's happy to answer questions very quickly, and the community seems to have a wealth of knowledge about all sorts of subjects.
You end up visiting this community often, and trusting the advice you get to answer all sorts of everyday questions you might have, which before you might have found answers to using a web search (of course web search is now full of SEI spam and other crap so it's become nearly useless).
Then one day, you ask an innocuous question about medicine, and from this community you get the full homeopathy treatment as your answer. Like, somewhat believable on the face of it, includes lots of citations to reasonable-seeming articles, except that if you know even a tiny bit about chemistry and biology (which thankfully you do), you know that the homoeopathy answers are completely bogus and horribly dangerous (since they offer non-treatments for real diseases). Your opinion of this entire forum suddenly changes. "Oh my God, if they've been homeopathy believers all this time, what other myths have they fed me as facts?"
You stop using the forum for anything, and go back to slogging through SEI crap to answer your everyday questions, because one you realize that this forum is a community that's fundamentally untrustworthy, you realize that the value of getting advice from it on any subject is negative: you knew enough to spot the dangerous homeopathy answer, but you know there might be other such myths that you don't know enough to avoid, and any community willing to go all-in on one myth has shown itself to be capable of going all in on any number of other myths.

Rational lemniscates and the matching problem
The matching problem for a given Jordan curve in the complex plane asks to find two nonconstant functions, one analytic in the bounded complementary component of the curve and the other analytic in the unbounded complementary component of the curve, which are continuous up to the curve and complex conjugate to each other on the curve. We prove that there exist Jordan curves of any Hausdorff dimension between $1$ and $2$ for which the matching problem has a solution. This answers a question of E…
