'Doughnut Economics' shows how global growth is out of balance—and how we can fix it
A new update to an influential economic theory called "Doughnut Economics" shows a global economy on a collision course with nature.

Army Vet Charged with “Conspiracy” for ICE Protest as Trump Expands War on Dissent
A 35-year-old former U.S. Army sergeant, Bajun “Baji” Mavalwalla II, faces up to six years in prison for protesting against ICE deportations in what legal experts are calling a test case for the Trump administration’s attempts to criminalize and punish dissent. Mavalwalla was arrested and charged with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” after he was identified in a video taken at the protest and shared on Instagram.

Yeah, Jimmy “I’m actually quite in favour of business and capitalism and all that”* Wales, the surveillance capitalist and Fandom-president adtech man who once told me he doesn’t believe in any form of government regulation – not even in food standards or healthcare – can go fuck himself.
Find better heroes. Or even better yet, get over the whole stupid concept itself.

On the Perturbed Projection-Based Distributed Gradient-Descent Algorithm: A Fully-Distributed Adaptive Redesign
In this work, we revisit a classical distributed gradient-descent algorithm, introducing an interesting class of perturbed multi-agent systems. The state of each subsystem represents a local estimate of a solution to the global optimization problem. Thereby, the network is required to minimize local cost functions, while gathering the local estimates around a common value. Such a complex task suggests the interplay of consensus-based dynamics with gradient-descent dynamics. The latter descent d…

Two conjectures on vertex-disjoint rainbow triangles
In 1963, Dirac proved that every $n$-vertex graph has $k$ vertex-disjoint triangles if $n\geq 3k$ and minimum degree $δ(G)\geq \frac{n+k}{2}$. The base case $n=3k$ can be reduced to the Corrádi-Hajnál Theorem. Towards a rainbow version of Dirac's Theorem, Hu, Li, and Yang conjectured that for all positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n\geq 3k$, every edge-colored graph $G$ of order $n$ with $δ^c(G)\geq \frac{n+k}{2}$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint rainbow triangles. In another direction, Wu et …

The New Honda Prelude Doesn’t Have a Transmission. Here’s Why
The new Prelude's "eCVT" isn't a CVT at all; it's actually something a lot cooler.
