Meta Abandons Hacking Victims, Draining Law Enforcement Resources, Officials Say
A coalition of 41 state attorneys general says Meta is failing to assist Facebook and Instagram users whose accounts have been hacked—and they want the company to take “immediate action.”

Tell me I'm Wrong: LinkedIn feels like walking into a Car Dealership where three Sales Associates are hovering not-staring at you from their desks, one is immediately greeting you at the door, and there’s a feeling like you’ve already paid for something before even uttering a word?

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…

Generation of gigahertz frequency surface acoustic waves in YIG/ZnO heterostructures
We study surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/zinc oxide (ZnO) heterostructures, comparing the results of a computationally lightweight analytical model with time-resolved micro-focused Brillouin light scattering data. Interdigital transducers (IDTs), with operational frequencies in the gigahertz regime, were fabricated on 50 and 100nm thin films of YIG prior to sputter deposition of 830nm and 890nm films of piezoelectric ZnO. We find good agreement between our analytical …

What's particularly muddy right now is
how a rising number of cattle infections are impacting farm workers,
beyond the Texas case that occurred back in March.
Veterinarians and physicians in states with dairy cattle outbreaks told The Associated Press there are multiple reports of farm workers falling sick,
but confirming cases is proving challenging for one key reason:
Many workers are reluctant to get tested.
"You have groups of individuals that…

What would it take to spark an H5N1 bird flu pandemic? And how bad would it be? | CBC News
For several decades, scientists have rung alarms that a dangerous form of bird flu had pandemic potential. As H5N1 spreads to more species, including U.S. dairy cattle, how likely is that worst-case scenario?

A collaborator in the US is reporting occasional issues loading https://www.journal18.org / http://www.journal18.org but I can't replicate the…

#16 Cold (Fall 2023)
Feeling cold is increasingly a privilege in our warming world. Regions of the world known for temperate, moderate climates are becoming accustomed to erratic weather. Cooler areas of the globe are warming, and warmer areas becoming too hot to occupy.

Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown views ACL injury as 'blessing in disguise'
Agent Zero is very nearly back. Translation, Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown‘s knee is feeling good and he’s back horsing around with fans as he aims to be healthy by training camp. Overshown is the former Texas Longhorn star linebacker who went to the Cowboys, the team he grew up loving, in the third round of last year’s NFL Draft. Everyone expected Overshown to have an aggressive impact on the defense. But the linebacker tore his ACL last August as he tried to make a tackle near …
