David Weiss Does Not Contest He Reneged on Hunter Biden's Plea Agreement to Chase Russian Lies - emptywheel
David Weiss is claiming one thing about the disposition of Alexander Smirnov's 2020 attempt to frame Joe Biden in Smirnov's prosecution and saying something totally different in attempts to withhold discovery on that from Hunter Biden. And the withheld documents go to the core of Weiss' decision to renege on a plea deal.

Borel Complexity of the Isomorphism Relation of Archimedean Orders in Finitely Generated Groups
In 2020, Calderoni, Marker, Motto Ros and Shani asked what the Borel complexity of the isomorphism relation of Archimedean orders on $\mathbb{Q}^n$ is. We answer this question by proving that the isomorphism relation of Archimedean orders on $\mathbb{Z}^n$ is not hyperfinite when $n \geq 3$ and not treeable when $n \geq 4$. As a corollary, we get that the isomorphism relation of Archimedean orders on $\mathbb{Q}^n$ is not hyperfinite when $n \geq 3$ and not treeable when $n \geq 4$.

Three potential landing spots for former Seahawks safety Jamal Adams
After four injury-plagued seasons, safety Jamal Adams' time with the Seattle Seahawks has come to an unceremonious end.  On Tuesday, Seattle made the rather unsurprising move to release the three-time Pro Bowler as part of several cuts to prepare for the new league year. Not only was Adams — who was acquired from the New York Jets in 2020 — unable to stay on the field for Seattle, but he never came close to replicating his 9.5-sack debut season with the team. In fact, Adams hasn't recorded…

Magnetars are neutron stars with extremely high magnetic fields that exhibit various X-ray phenomena such as sporadic sub-second bursts, long-term persistent flux enhancements, and variable rates of rotation period change. In 2020, a fast radio burst (FRB), akin to cosmological millisecond-duration radio bursts, was detected from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154, confirming the long-suspected association between some FRBs and magnetars. However, the mechanism for FRB generation in magnetars …

WATCH: House GOP launches new probe of Jan. 6, starting with police response to pipe bombs
House Republicans are launching a vast reinvestigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, seeking to push the blame away from Donald Trump, who has been indicted over his actions or his supporters in the mob siege trying to overturn the 2020 election.

I was just wondering. If Trump STILL thinks the election in 2020 was rigged when the GOP had control, how could he possibly think he could win in 2024 when they have lost so much ground since? One would think his believers would not even bother to vote but instead wait for some expected coup.

Understanding the impact of different social interactions is key to improving epidemic models.

We isolate and compare different contexts of potential SARS-CoV-2 transmission by matching pairs of students based on their attendance at the same or different …

Possible and Impossible Inferences From Reconstructed Evolutionary Processes using Phylogenies as an Example
Our understanding of past evolutionary change is often based on reconstructions based on incomplete data, raising fundamental questions about the degree to which we can make reliable inferences about past evolutionary processes. This was demonstrated by Louca and Pennell (2020), who showed that each pure-birth process can be generated by an infinite number of birth-death processes. Here, I explore what it means to reconstruct past evolutionary change with three approaches from measure theory, g…

Variability in Aggregate Personal Income Across Industrial Sectors During COVID-19 Shock: A Time-Series Exploration
This study explored the variability in Aggregate Personal Income (PI) across 13 major industrial sectors in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing time-series data from 2010 Q1 to 2019 Q4, we employed Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models to establish baseline trends in Personal Income (PI) before the pandemic. We then extended these models to forecast PI values for the subsequent 14 quarters, from 2020 Q1 to 2023 Q2, as if the pandemic had never happened. This forecas…
