In its latest move to restrict the legal immigration system,
the Trump administration announced a sweeping change Monday that could lead to the
deportations of thousands of asylum seekers.
The change from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

👉 and instead refer them directly to immigration judges for removal proceedings.

When you’re young (and maybe not just then), everything that happened before you were born happened in “the distant past,” which is all approximately the same time.
I remember at the age of 6 or so thinking about how I was born in ’76, so my parents lived before ’76, so what was it like for them living under British rule? It took me a good few minutes to figure out the catch.
Build-Authorized Evidence for Opaque Calls: A Fail-Closed Rewrite-Authority Boundary
Zhonghua Yi (Toka Language Research Group)
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.18949 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.18949 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.18949

Abstract: Detached semantic facts about opaque native providers do not by themselves justify compiler rewrites: rewrite authority must be confined to the accepted fact, selected provider and build, caller, callback environment, observation, and runtime target. We present a build-authorized path-effect interface that enforces this boundary through fail-closed authorization and link receipts. The design separates receipt closure, callback-environment closure, and projection identity, and passes accepted facts to LLVM through a narrow internal API. We use one-hop topology-load reuse as a minimal observable witness of authority, not as the optimization target.
A conservative LLVM consumer reuses a pointer observation only from a noalias root or one constant nonzero projection. Rocq models prove conditional refinement and authority non-amplification under explicit effect, alias, compiler/ABI, and target-resolution premises. We instantiate checked production with Toka: a source-summary gate emits exact LLVM IR, a separate IR checker accepts only a bounded topology-preserving subset, and only accepted IR is compiled into the receipt-bound provider object. A bounded static Darwin/arm64 profile also checks the final direct branch target.
Across issuer-declared readv, recvmsg, and Cairo boundaries, authorized IR retains each opaque call, reduces the relevant loads from two to one, and preserves observed results; mismatched providers, builds, callbacks, projections, and unsupported IR remain neutral. A libjpeg case is rejected because its callback environment is open, while a bound callback singleton demonstrates the supported closure rule. The contribution is a checked deployment-compiler boundary with an explicit trust and applicability frontier, not a uniquely expressive effect encoding or a new load-elimination algorithm.

New York City has adopted a new rule that bans companies from using deceptive subscriptions to trap customers into paying for gym memberships, streaming services and other recurring charges, the city’s consumer protection office said.
The new rule, which will start on 1 October, promises hefty fines and aggressive enforcement for violators.
Companies that do not provide a simple way to cancel could pay $525 per user subscription, back fees and additional fines.

In LaTeX, you typically use an array environment for this type of equations, and \hline for the horizontal rule. I just discovered that #Pandoc doesn’t translate the \hline for #Typst output—but I also couldn’t find how you’d even do this in Typst.
Any suggestions?

Burklund-Lin-Wang-Xu Methods in the Cofiber-of-Tau Formalism and Applications to Equivariant Slice Differentials

Abstract: We reinvestigate the theory of spectral sequences by studying the $(\infty,1)$-category of filtered spectra through the cofiber-of-$\tau$ formalism of Burklund-Isaksen-Pstragowski-Wang-Xu. In this framework, we define and analyze hidden extensions along arbitrary maps of filtered spectra, establishing computational principles that extend the generalized Leibniz rule and the generalized Mahowald trick of Lin-Wang-Xu, as well as Burklund's Leibniz rule for total differentials, from the Adams spectral sequence to this broader setup. Our formulation uses a more refined, layered notion of extension, which slightly sharpens these statements even for the Adams spectral sequence. As an application, we study equivariant slice spectral sequences and obtain new families of "exotic transfer" differentials in the $C_4$-slice spectral sequences for the Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel theories $\mathrm{BP}^{((C_4))}\langle m\rangle$ for every $m \ge 1$.
