Running Critical National Infrastructure as a business has proven a recipe for failure
Using a business model of cost-cutting and even increasing profit margins does not work for public services, and should not happen

Might be a good time to get caught up on this ARG if they are going to do more!

Trump is upset that in the lower courts his administration has lost 96 percent of the time so far, accordingto one analysis.
The president’s apologists have asserted that this shows that the courts are biased against Trump.
In reality it is the law that is biased against actions that defy the web of statutes, regulations, rules, contracts, and case law that have long been part of our legal system.
Trump has even suggested that he may not be bound by the oath he swore on …

Exploring critical states of the quantum Rabi model via Hamiltonian variational ansätze
Characterizing quantum critical states towards the thermodynamic limit is essential for understanding phases of matter. The power of quantum simulators for preparing the critical states relies crucially on the structure of quantum circuits and in return provides new insight into the critical states. Here, we explore the critical states of the quantum Rabi model~(QRM) by preparing them variationally with Hamiltonian variational ansätze~(HVA), in which the intricated interplay among different qu…

Adult human cortex does not reorganize after amputation
The results from a new longitudinal study contradict classic findings in monkeys but may not warrant a rewriting of the textbooks just yet.
