When you start to see that capitalism is nothing but systemic exploitation and domination, and that Marxism-Leninism only reproduces the same state capitalism under another name through authoritarian state socialism, you then realize that leftist parties don’t actually bring about any fundamental change, because they to keep power rigidly centralized, to preserve existing hierarchies, and to maintain the dominance of the ruling classes.
If you want a genuine alternative, one built on w…

I am, in point of fact, a particularly haughty and exclusive person, of
pre-Adamite ancestral descent. You will understand this when I tell you
that I can trace my ancestry back to a protoplasmal primordial atomic
globule. Consequently, my family pride is something inconceivable. I
can't help it. I was born sneering.

A Lightweight Privacy-Preserving Smart Metering Billing Protocol with Dynamic Tariff Policy Adjustment
The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) with traditional power grids has led to the emergence of smart grids. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) plays a crucial role in smart grids by facilitating two-way communication between smart meters and the utility provider. This bidirectional communication allows intelligent meters to report fine-grained consumption data at predefined intervals, enabling accurate billing, efficient grid monitoring and management, and rapid …

High-resolution simulations of disc tearing in the GW Orionis triple system
The disc around the pre-main-sequence triple star system GW Orionis is known from observations to be warped and broken. Theoretical modelling has produced conflicting results regarding the mechanism responsible for breaking the disc. Analytical predictions for the measured parameters of GW Ori suggest the disc is only marginally stable to tearing. We present new high-resolution simulations of GW Ori that replicate the wavelike regime expected in thick, low-turbulence protoplanetary discs for th…

Sharp Large Deviations and Gibbs Conditioning for Threshold Models in Portfolio Credit Risk
We obtain sharp large deviation estimates for exceedance probabilities in dependent triangular array threshold models with a diverging number of latent factors. The prefactors quantify how latent-factor dependence and tail geometry enter at leading order, yielding three regimes: Gaussian or exponential-power tails produce polylogarithmic refinements of the Bahadur-Rao $n^{-1/2}$ law; regularly varying tails yield index-driven polynomial scaling; and bounded-support (endpoint) cases lead to an $…

A Lightweight Incentive-Based Privacy-Preserving Smart Metering Protocol for Value-Added Services
The emergence of smart grids and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has revolutionized energy management. Unlike traditional power grids, smart grids benefit from two-way communication through AMI, which surpasses earlier automated meter reading (AMR). AMI enables diverse demand- and supply-side utilities such as accurate billing, outage detection, real-time grid control, load forecasting, and value-added services. Smart meters play a key role by delivering consumption values at predefined …
