Leveraging Covariates in Regression Discontinuity Designs
It is common practice to incorporate additional covariates in empirical economics. In the context of Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs, covariate adjustment plays multiple roles, making it essential to understand its impact on analysis and conclusions. Typically implemented via local least squares regressions, covariate adjustment can serve three main distinct purposes: (i) improving the efficiency of RD average causal effect estimators, (ii) learning about heterogeneous RD policy effects, …

Under a new cybersecurity blueprint, the European Union will work more closely with national militaries and the NATO defense alliance to respond to large-scale cyberattacks.

EU to train with militaries, industry and NATO to better fend off large-scale cyberattacks.

The vacated rule, meant to go into effect on 14 July, would have covered all forms of negative option marketing
– programs that allow sellers to interpret customer inaction as acceptance of subscriptions,
often leading to unintended charges.
The FTC’s original 1973 rule only covered limited forms of these practices.
It would have also stopped businesses from forcing customers through lengthy chat sessions with agents or creating other barriers to cancellation.

Covert Entanglement Generation over Bosonic Channels
We explore covert entanglement generation over the lossy thermal-noise bosonic channel, which is a quantum-mechanical model of many practical settings, including optical, microwave, and radio-frequency (RF) channels. Covert communication ensures that an adversary is unable to detect the presence of transmissions, which are concealed in channel noise. We show that a $\textit{square root law}$ (SRL) for covert entanglement generation similar to that for classical: $L_{\rm EG}\sqrt{n}$ entangled b…

Uhoh… Didn’t we get EU connectivity via Colt?
Oh. Never mind. Dodged a bullet *AGAIN* by having cancelled that contract (a few years back, actually…)
If I was a superstitious person I’d think that I'd been blessed to never be directly harmed by any sort of cyberattack. If I was a narcissist I'd think that I was somehow specially skilled at intuitively avoiding all attacks...
I’m neither, and recognize the absurdity of random chance, which ALWAYS does the unlikely…
