Sad but typical that out of the 5 progressive ideas this person lists in the Mission Local comments section, 4 of them are about stopping something bad someone else is trying to do. The progressive movement in SF lacks a positive vision anymore. No wonder it's such a shell of what it used to be.

Abstract: We study static, spherically symmetric axion--dilaton solutions of the tree-level four-dimensional string effective action. Using the sigma-model structure of the scalar sector, we show that the full family of static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat solutions is obtained as the $SL(2,\mathbb R)$ orbit of the pure-dilaton FJNW solution, and we characterize the associated axion--dilaton charge space. We then analyze the perturbative regime of these solutions by comparing the onset of $\alpha'$ curvature corrections with that of string-loop corrections. Finally, we apply the string--black-hole correspondence criterion to the FJNW family by evaluating the local $\alpha'$ curvature diagnostic at the physical size $R_{\rm typ}$ of a highly excited string state. With the normalization fixed on the Schwarzschild branch, Schwarzschild saturates the nominal $\alpha'$ threshold at the correspondence surface, whereas every scalar-haired FJNW branch lies above it. More generally, independently of the common overall normalization within the matching prescription, every nonzero-hair branch has a larger curvature diagnostic at the correspondence surface than Schwarzschild. Away from the correspondence point, scalar-haired exteriors may remain under $\alpha'$ control at sufficiently weak local self-gravity and may provide perturbatively controlled long-distance fields of highly excited string states whenever the local string coupling also remains weak.

RE: #NFB "270 years" doc, so I'd not now be vexed to imagine a formalized mindset that applauds an armoured armed soldier bayoneting an unarmed 14 year old because she wouldn't let them take her four year old sister. That's not heroism, that is deranged cruelty and sadist sickness, and going rewarded means it is endemic to the system called Canada.
Who cares about bombing schoolchildren when such is 'normal'. Not Carney, or really anyone else in our political realms.
