Renegade Transit Activists Install their Own ‘Guerilla Benches’ at SF Bus Stops That Don’t Have Benches
A rogue group of activists won’t stand for the lack of benches at many SF Muni stops, so they went and installed a bunch of their own unauthorized benches this past weekend. But we’ll see how this sits with SF Public Works.

Ten current and former Samsung semiconductor engineers say many are leaving for SK Hynix and other rivals due to long hours, heavy workloads, and lower bonuses (Michelle Kim/Rest of World)

Samsung is desperate to compete on chips. Workers say it comes at a cost.
Scarred by long hours, low pay, and a hostile work culture, many chip workers are leaving for competitors, including American companies.

Planar black holes and black bounces with flat exterior
We present $n(\ge 4)$-dimensional planar black holes and black bounces with a flat exterior, which are originated by an exact solution in general relativity. The interior regions of these black objects are described by the extended dynamical region inside a non-degenerate Killing horizon of Gamboa's static plane symmetric solution with a perfect fluid obeying a linear equation of state $p=χρ$ for $χ\in[-1/3,0)$. The matter field inside the horizon is not a perfect fluid but an anisotropic fl…

Quasi-normal modes and echoes of generalized black hole bounces and their correspondence with shadows
We study the quasi-normal modes (QNMs) of a family of generalized black bounces interpolating between regular black holes and traversable wormhole solutions according to a single extra parameter $a$. Firstly, working with a generic spherically symmetric space-time with arbitrary radial function and an anisotropic fluid matter source, the general equations for the gravitational waves are obtained. Then, we focus on such particular space-time metric and use the time-domain method to find the evol…
