World Health Assembly adopts Pandemic Agreement, ups funding for WHO:
The United States didn’t participate in final negotiations, which might have provided a silver lining, . "With the current administration seemingly intent on dismantling global public health efforts, this may be the best-case scenario if the rest of the world can come together," . "In that way, this new agreement is a spot of light in an otherwise dark geopolitical environment for fighting pandemics."

The asymptotic Samuel functions and applications to resolution of singularities techniques
We use the asymptotic Samuel function to define the Samuel slope of a Noetherian local ring, and we prove that it characterizes local regular excellent rings. In addition, we introduce a second invariant that refines the Samuel slope using generic linear cuts, the refined Samuel slope. We show that both, the Samuel slope and the refined Samuel slope, are connected to invariants coming from resolution of singularities.

Facility Location Problem under Local Differential Privacy without Super-set Assumption
In this paper, we introduce an adaptation of the facility location problem and analyze it within the framework of local differential privacy (LDP). Under this model, we ensure the privacy of client presence at specific locations. When n is the number of points, Gupta et al. established a lower bound of $Ω(\sqrt{n})$ on the approximation ratio for any differentially private algorithm applied to the original facility location problem. As a result, subsequent works have adopted the super-set assu…

Foxconn looks to set up new Tamil Nadu unit to make iPhone enclosures
Foxconn is planning to manufacture iPhone enclosures in India, establishing a new unit in Tamil Nadu. This move signifies Apple's strategy to diversify its supply chain and reduce reliance on China. With expansions in display module assembly and AirPods production, Foxconn aims to significantly increase iPhone production in India, potentially making it a primary manufacturing hub for the US market.
