Experts say the US government and tech companies are failing to mount a clear response to the theft of trade secrets by Chinese corporate and government spies (NBC News)

Linwei Ding was a Google software engineer. He was also a prolific thief of trade secrets, say prosecutors.
The Linwei Ding case illustrates what U.S. officials say is an ongoing nightmare: Google and other top U.S. tech firms have had their pockets picked by China.

Data modeling is hard!
The first photo, uploaded to #WikimediaCommons, is of a painting depicting a Philippines Historical Committee marker (shown in the second photo) that commemorates a public square that is named after a doctor.
The doctor, the plaza, and the marker all have #Wikidata

The silly small things I bother my municipality with...
(this existing sidewalk and this new cyclepath aren't connected (there is no sidewalk in that street. So people will walk on the cyclepath))

Last day of #deRSE24
My brain is full of new information, I had wonderful conversations and, as always, have been feeling very comfortable in this welcoming community 🫶
Session materials are linked in the timetable ( @… is cool!):

Car-Following Models: A Multidisciplinary Review
Car-following (CF) algorithms are crucial components of traffic simulations and have been integrated into many production vehicles equipped with Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). Insights from the model of car-following behavior help us understand the causes of various macro phenomena that arise from interactions between pairs of vehicles. Car-following models encompass multiple disciplines, including traffic engineering, physics, dynamic system control, cognitive science, machine lea…

Ang kaibigan kong direktor na si Jade Castro ay inaresto sa lalawigan ng Quezon sa kasong panununog nang walang warrant. Dinedemanda ko kasama ng mga kaibigan at katrabaho niya sa industriyang pampelikula na pakawalan siya at ang mga kasama niya dahil labag ang kanilang pag-aresto sa karapatang pantao at tamang proseso sa batas.

Ending the prompt phase in photospheric models of gamma-ray bursts
The early steep decay, a rapid decrease in X-ray flux as a function of time following the prompt emission, is a robust feature seen in almost all gamma-ray bursts with early enough X-ray observations. This peculiar phenomenon has often been explained as emission from high latitudes of the last flashing shell. However, in photospheric models of gamma-ray bursts, the timescale of high-latitude emission is generally short compared to the duration of the steep decay phase, and hence an alternative …

Two of the best films I’ve seen of Jaclyn Jose in a leading role, one dramatic, the other comedic.
