In California, survivors of solitary confinement
who have spent years trying to seriously limit the practice are facing yet another setback
as state prison officials unwind the minor reforms made in recent years.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back for Solitary Reforms in California - Bolts

If Multicast is the Answer -- What was the Question?
Multicast is (almost) as old as the Internet, having become a tool for increasing network efficiency but also enabling destination discovery in a number of key use cases, although misaligned economic interests have limited its deployment to domain-local usages. But recent advances in multicast technologies as well as the identification of new use cases for which IP multicast may be ill fitted yet network-level support may be desirable motivate to re-think old perceptions of multicast and its us…

Why is war so economically costly?
Our answer is that modern war lowers output not only by destroying productive factors,
but also by making the surviving economy work less efficiently
Our key policy implication is that restoring allocative efficiency
–and preparing institutional arrangements that facilitate rapid reallocation in times of stress
–is critical for sustaining economic capacity, defense, and national security.

The Allocative Cost of War - Marginal REVOLUTION
Why is war so economically costly? Our answer is that modern war lowers output not only by destroying productive factors, but also by making the surviving economy work less efficiently. Using uniquely comprehensive firm-level data collected during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, we document a dramatic collapse in allocative productivity in Ukraine. To […]
