It is only a matter of time until noem, homan, dhs, ice and potus realize dropping people out of aircraft is cheaper than housing or moving them.
Unless they already have.
Rumors are the US is engaging in death flights. Already there are some known flight paths of ice flights turning around over bodies of water.
The US Congress and international community seem to be the only things that can stop this.

Variation of Bose surface by Filling in Cooper pair Bose metal
The Cooper pair Bose metal (CPBM) is a non-superfluid quantum phase in which uncondensed fermion pairs form a "Bose surface" in momentum space. We investigate the CPBM in the two-dimensional spin-anisotropic attractive Hubbard model by tuning the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) hopping t', carrier filling n, and spin anisotropy alpha, using large-scale constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo simulations. A moderate NNN hopping (t'/t = 0.2) substantially enlarges the CPBM region: the phase extends into…

Electronic structure reorganization in MPS3 via d-shell-selective alkali metal doping
Semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition-metal thiophosphates (MPS3) offer promising opportunities for spintronic applications due to their highly tunable electronic properties. While alloying and intercalation have been shown to modulate ground states, the role of d-shell filling in governing these transitions remains insufficiently understood. Here, we investigate electron doping effects in MPS3 using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), X-ray photo…

DHS warns of likely Iranian cyberattacks following Trump's missile strikes

It’s roughly what we spent on our wedding (the 2nd for both of us), which was basically that in 1999. Less than a dozen F&F in attendance.
It’s not even much less than was spent on my first wedding in ’87, but that’s a lot of inflation ago. We got the space for free because we both worked at the site and the reception was just cake and coffee.

To the genocide-loving German from mastodon.social who reported @… for being antisemitic:
Fuck you, you genocide-loving piece of shit, opposing genocide isn’t antisemitism. What you’re doing – conflating being anti-genocide with being antisemitic – is the greatest antisemitism as you’re de facto stating that all Jews are pro-genocide.

Yesterday managed to see at least a half dozen bands for #Kenmore Porchfest (#Buffalo). I only remembered to take one pic (at this RAtM cover band, Anger Is a Gift). They did a great job and the hosts had a cooler of water for everyone.
Kudos to everyone involved in the day.

Epitaxial Stabilization and Emergent Charge Order in Copper Selenide Thin Films
We demonstrate epitaxial growth of copper selenide (Cu$_{2-x}$Se) thin films in both cubic and rhombohedral phases, achieved via molecular beam epitaxy on Al$_2$O$_3$ (001) substrates. Remarkably, the high-temperature cubic phase -- which in bulk transforms into the rhombohedral structure below 400 K -- is stabilized at room temperature and below, well outside its bulk equilibrium stability range. In the cubic phase films, temperature-dependent electrical transport reveals a pronounced, hystere…

Check out my latest CSO piece, which examines how Trump’s nominees for national cyber director and CISA director will face shared challenges but different prospects in coping with unprecedented reductions in cyber personnel across the federal government.
Many thanks to Michael Daniel of the Cyber Threat Alliance and Mark Montgomery of FDD for their help and insight.
Daniel made a point about Trump's cutbacks on cyber spending, a situation that most cyber folks haven't see…

Top US cyber officials face divergent paths after Senate confirmation
Following their Senate confirmations, Sean Cairncross and Sean Plankey — Trump’s nominees for national cyber director and CISA director — will face shared challenges but different prospects in coping with unprecedented reductions in cyber personnel across the federal government.
