For those who aren’t local / don’t have an encyclopedic memory of 2020:
Keith Ellison and the MN AG office are the folks who successfully prosecuted Derek Chauvin. They are a crack legal team who know how to win. I’m making no bets about the short or long term outcomes of this lawsuit — especially not with a radical right-wing SCOTUS completely off the rails — but I’m confident these are some of the very best people to be leading it.

Oil residues can travel over 5,000 miles on ocean debris, study finds
When oily plastic and glass, as well as rubber, washed onto Florida beaches in 2020, a community group shared the mystery online, attracting scientists' attention. Working together, they linked the black residue-coated debris to a 2019 oil slick along Brazil's coastline. Using ocean current models and chemical analysis, the team explains in Environmental Science & Technology how some of the oily material managed to travel over 5,200 miles (8,500 kilometers) by clinging to debris.

The Influence of Magnetic Complexity of Active Regions on Solar Wind Properties During Solar Cycles 23 and 24
Linking solar wind properties to the activities and characteristics of its source regions can enhance our understanding of its origin and generation mechanisms. Using the Mount Wilson magnetic classification (MWMC), we categorize all active regions (ARs) between 1999 and 2020 into three groups: alpha, beta, and complex ARs. Subsequently, we classify the near-Earth AR solar wind into the corresponding three types based on the magnetic type of ARs. Our results show that alpha, beta, and complex A…

Another reminder about 2020: the Hennepin County atty initially brought softball charges that would have resulted in moderate sentences (because they were weak) and probably wouldn’t have held up in court anyway (because they were mismatched to the crime).
Attorney General Keith Ellison snatched the investigation away from the county and brought real charges that really stuck — and he had the backing to do that because of the sheer volume of protest.

Evaluating BBRv2 on the Dropbox Edge Network
Nowadays, loss-based TCP congestion controls in general and CUBIC specifically became the de facto standard for the Internet. BBR congestion control challenges the loss-based approach by modeling the network based on estimated bandwidth and round-trip time. At Dropbox, we've been using BBRv1 since 2017 and are accustomed to its pros and cons. BBRv2 introduces a set of improvements to network modeling (explicit loss targets and inflight limits) and fairness (differential probing and headroom for…

From subtle shifts in the procedural mechanics of
self-defense doctrine
to substantive expansions of justified lethal force,
legislatures are delegating larger amounts of
“violence work”
to the private sphere.
These regulatory innovations layer on top of existing rules that broadly authorize private violence
—both defensive and offensive
—for self-protection and the ostensible maintenance of law and order.
