Here’s the thing: these two goals are in •direct contradiction•.
A bunch of ICE cheerleaders want inhumane treatment of immigrants in order to shrink — and thus strengthen — the remaining (white) labor pool.
A bunch of other ICE cheerleaders want inhumane treatment of immigrants in order to •weaken• the labor pool.
They can’t both get their way.

TL;DR:
Observational study found DTP correlated to higher short term (~2y) death rates in children.
1. The original study was small (n=1000) and methodologically weak.
2. An attempt to reproduce the study failed to show any corelation.
3. It was 40 years ago, using the old DTP vax which has been redesigned/reformulated extensively.
That man would have people dying of lockjaw to weed out the weak.

Why experts are concerned about the vaccine study cited by RFK Jr.
RFK Jr. stunned the global health world when he said the U.S. would halt funding the group that helps provide vaccines to many low-income countries. The study he cited is seen by others as dubious.

Chirality Amplification and Deracemization in Liquid Crystals
Liquid crystal mesophases of achiral molecules are normally achiral, yet in a few materials they spontaneously deracemize and form right- and left-handed chiral domains. One mechanism that drives deracemization is molecular shape fluctuations between axial chiral conformations, where molecular interactions favor matching chirality and promote helical twist. Cooperative chiral ordering may also play a role in chirality amplification, as when a tiny fraction of chiral dopant drives a nematic phas…

Moments and saddles of heavy CFT correlators
We study the operator product expansion (OPE) of identical scalars in a conformal four-point correlator as a Stieltjes moment problem, and use Riemann-Liouville type fractional differential operators to generate classical moments from the correlation function. We use crossing symmetry to derive leading and subleading relations between moments in $Δ$ and $J_2 \equiv \ell(\ell+d-2)$ in the ``heavy" limit of large external scaling dimension, and combine them with constraints from unitarity to der…

Equilibrium Computation in First-Price Auctions with Correlated Priors
We consider the computational complexity of computing Bayes-Nash equilibria in first-price auctions, where the bidders' values for the item are drawn from a general (possibly correlated) joint distribution. We show that when the values and the bidding space are discrete, determining the existence of a pure Bayes-Nash equilibrium is NP-hard. This is the first hardness result in the literature of the problem that does not rely on assumptions of subjectivity of the priors, or convoluted tie-breaki…

webkb: WebKB graphs (1998)
Web graphs crawled from four Computer Science departments in 1998, with each page manually classified into one of 7 categories: course, department, faculty, project, staff, student, or other. All graphs included in a single .zip; also included are 'co-citation' graphs, which links i and j if they both point to some k. Edge weights count the number of links from i to j.
This network has 349 nodes and 1393 edges.

Nonlinear projection for ballistic correlation functions: a formula in terms of minimal connected covers
In many-body systems, the dynamics is governed, at large scales of space and time, by the hydrodynamic principle of projection onto the conserved densities admitted by the model. This is formalised as local relaxation of fluctuations in the ballistic macroscopic fluctuation theory, a nonlinear Boltzmann-Gibbs principle. We use it to derive a projection formula, expressing n-point connected correlation functions (cumulants) of generic observables at different space-time points, in terms of those…

This horrendous thought @… is talking about here is in fact for many MAGA voters the explicit goal of all this immigration cruelty, except for the job market instead of used cars:
“fewer immigrants − smaller labor supply − $$$ for me yay”
