Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

heise meets ... Boehringer Ingelheim: "KI kann Ankerpunkte vorhersagen"
Von der Forschung bis zur Markteinführung eines Medikaments können 15 Jahre vergehen. Das Unternehmen BI X arbeitet an digitalen Abkürzungen.

With DJI's powerful ebike motors, Bosch is afraid of upcoming regulation.
And I must admit: RIGHT. To me, an MTB with a factor 8x support has nothing to do with mountainbiking any more.

E-Bike-Chef von Bosch im Interview: "Bewegen uns immer weiter weg vom Fahrrad"
Der Geschäftsleiter von Bosch eBike Systems blickt mit Sorge auf den aktuellen Wettlauf bei der Motorleistung und warnt vor möglichen Maßnahmen der EU.

For running my #HamRadio portable setup from solar power, I made a power distribution box. I didn't know where to stop, apparently, and now I have a beast that weighs 1.2kg. It has two isolated battery busses, each of which has an XT60M, PowerPole, and 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector to choose from, supporting the batteries I have and that friends might have. It has four other circuits that …

It is fascinating how the electrification of public transport buses is also creating new business and collaboration models: First Bus already opens its depots during the day (when the buses are in service) to pre-approved parties, such as fleets of buses and trucks, and is now also launching #EV charging hubs for everyone (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), as “First Charge”, as in Glasgow (34 x 150 kW).

The Miyaoka-Yau inequality for singular varieties with big canonical or anticanonical divisors
We establish the Miyaoka-Yau inequality for $n$-dimensional projective klt varieties with big canonical divisor $K_X$: \[ (2(n+1)\widehat{c}_2(X) - n \widehat{c}_1(X)^2) \cdot \langle c_1(K_X)^{n-2} \rangle \ge 0. \] We also prove the Miyaoka-Yau inequality for K-semistable projective klt varieties with big anticanonical divisor $-K_X$. As part of our approach, we define the non-pluripolar product $\langle α_1 \cdots α_p \rangle$ on singular varieties, and establish the Bogomolov-Gieseker typ…
