So, the vendor insisted that the delivery company will take two packages with a single label. The delivery man disagreed. So over the weekend I had to keep asking, and finally got two labels. The delivery man took the packages. I got my money back.
As soon as I found the time, I've left a negative comment on the sales platform, explaining the problem in detail. And what? With a speed of a shitty script I got a request to change the opinion. Of course, it's all a cheap template, cut in the middle because it didn't fit in the explanation length limit. "Oh dearie, could we know why did you give us a negative opinion? Blah blah blah." Yeah, sure. You could have just read it!
But well, I've changed my comment. To one that's even worse. Added that they shamelessly automatically send requests to change the opinion. The platform wanted me to confirm that they didn't offer me a reward for this change of opinion 😆.

A Note on Single-Cut Full-Open Protocols
Card-based cryptography is a research area that realizes cryptographic protocols such as secure computation by applying shuffles to sequences of cards that encode input values. A single-cut full-open protocol is one that obtains an output value by applying a random cut to an input sequence of cards, after which all cards are opened. In this paper, we propose three single-cut full-open protocols: two protocols for three-variable functions and one protocol for a four-variable function.

This new approach allows us to improve the previously known upper bounds on the minimum and maximum bisection width and the maximum cut of random d-regular graphs for d > 4 by introducing a new recoloring phase after the termination of the original algorithm. As an application, we show that random 5-regular graphs asymptotically almost surely admit an internal parti…

As Trump's tariffs cut off the US from imports and as he deports the core of the US labor force, I think about the fact that tariffs and other import taxes were a major part of the lead up to the Revolutionary War. It's no coincidence that a bunch of the Founding Fathers were smugglers.
The logistics of the resistance and the logistics of the population were intertwined, meaning that it was not always possible to attack resistance logistics without alienating the population.
All this is worth keeping in mind right now.

Volumes of moduli spaces of directed ribbon graphs and Cut-and-Join operators
In this paper, we investigate the algebraic structure underlying the acyclic decomposition. This decomposition applies to directed metric ribbon graphs and enables the recursive computation of the volumes of their moduli spaces. Building on this, we define integral operators with these volumes and show that they satisfy a Cut-and-Join type equation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a suitable specialization of these operators gives rise to a generating series for \textit{dessins d'enfants}.

Such objects also arise as the superstable configurations in the context of chip-firing.
