One thing I hadn't seen, prompted by their network outage yesterday, is how much better the IPv6 situation has developed on Vodafone in the last two years. Up to 75% now.

The 2026 military funding bill released this week would
require the U.S. to assess Israel’s weapons arsenal
and suggest ways to undo any “gaps” that may be caused by arms embargoes imposed by other countries protesting Israel’s violence.
This remarkable measure comes as a response to at least two dozen countries that have restricted or ended weapons transfers to Israel since its genocide began on October 7, 2023.
It also comes after countless experts, including watch…

A proof of Witten's asymptotic expansion conjecture for WRT invariants of Seifert fibered homology spheres
Let $X$ be a general Seifert fibered integral homology $3$-sphere with $r\ge3$ exceptional fibers. For every root of unity $ζ\not=1$, we show that the SU(2) WRT invariant of $X$ evaluated at $ζ$ is (up to an elementary factor) the non-tangential limit at $ζ$ of the GPPV invariant of $X$, thereby generalizing a result from [Andersen-Mistegard 2022]. Based on this result, we apply the quantum modularity results developed in [Han-Li-Sauzin-Sun 2023] to the GPPV invariant of $X$ to prove Witten'…

Le Dalaï-lama était informé dès 1997.
Il promettait de retirer sa lettre de légitimité si Spatz était condamné.
Spoiler : rien n’a bougé.
Il faudra attendre 2023, après des mois de lobbying et un documentaire ARTE, pour qu’une reconnaissance soit enfin suspendue.

The Grammy-winning rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel of the Fugees
has been sentenced to 14 years in prison
for a case in which he was convicted of funnelling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to former US president Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.
In April 2023, a federal jury convicted Michel of 10 counts,
including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.
The trial in Washington DC included testimony from the act…

I love it when kids get told "no" and plow ahead anyway. #Iowa #bannedbooks #libraries

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them
Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Congruences modulo powers of 2 and 3 for overpartition $k$-tuples
Let $\overline{p}_{k}(n)$ denote the number of overpartition $k$-tuples of $n$. In 2023, Saikia \cite{saikia} conjectured the following congruences: \begin{align*} \overline{p}_{q}(8n+2)& \equiv 0 \pmod{4},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+3)\equiv 0 \pmod{8},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+4) \equiv 0 \pmod{2},\\ \overline{p}_{q}(8n+5)& \equiv 0 \pmod{8},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+6) \equiv 0 \pmod{8},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+7)\equiv 0 \pmod{32}, \end{align*} where $n\geq0$ and $q$ is prime. Recently, Sell…

Trade, Political Distance and the World Trade Organization

Trade, Political Distance and the World Trade Organization
Trade agreements are often understood as shielding commerce from fluctuations in political relations. This paper provides evidence that World Trade Organization membership reduces the penalty of political distance on trade at the extensive margin. Using a structural gravity framework covering 1948 to 2023 and two measures of political distance, based on high-frequency events data and UN General Assembly votes, GATT/WTO status is consistently associated with a wider range of products traded betw…

U.S. Port Disruptions under Tropical Cyclones: Resilience Analysis by Harnessing Multiple-Source Dataset
This study introduces the CyPort Dataset, recording disruptions to 145 U.S. principal ports and freight network from 90 tropical cyclones (2015-2023). It addresses limitations of event specific resilience studies and provides a comprehensive dataset for broader analysis. To account for excess zeros and unobserved heterogeneity in disruption outcomes, the Random Parameter Negative Binomial Lindley (RPNB Lindley) model is employed to produce more reliable resilience insights. The model demonstrat…
