OH! I forgot the whole "out of band" thing. Let me get into that.
When you put all this together you have a business owned by a church (or, in the Dutch case, an FFI) to interface with capitalism and then a community that's collectively controlled via the legal entity of a "church." (Again, I like the word "coven," but I'm trying to use the legal definition here.)
This gives you a community that exists partially outside of the dominant system. If this seems like a new idea, it is absolutely not. There are very insular religious communities all over. Many are really oppressive cults (go watch Wild Wild Country), others are insular religious communities (for which there is a lot of legitimate criticism, but I'm only talking about decipherability here) such as Haredim or Mennonites. In some ways Tribes match this also, with various tribal governments organizing things for members.
In all of these cases, there exists an element that is outside of the dominant system. This becomes somewhat "invisible." How well do you understand the inner workings of an Amish community? How much do you think a CEO cares or thinks about them?
There are many hidden worlds that only become revealed when they become a problem (such as when a cult leader tries to take over a county by spraying e. coli on a bunch of salad bars.) This can be good if you're trying to build a new society without attracting the attention, but insular communities can also permit abusive dynamics that could otherwise be identified by the larger society. So keep the risks in mind, and be active about preventing them. Hierarchy is dangerous, but hierarchy in hidden groups can be especially dangerous.
Dear #orgmode community: I once read about a method to "embed" content from a different heading so that I don't have to duplicate content.
E.g., when I want to include/preview/embed two paragraphs from a particular heading somewhere else in my Org hierarchy. Maybe even in a different Orgdown file? 🤔
Unfortunately, I didn't add this package to my notes. Do you have an id…
Under new European Union rules, businesses must prioritise keeping unsold clothing or shoes in use by selling them (including through discounts or alternative markets), donating them to charities or social enterprises, or preparing them for reuse (repairing, refurbishing or remanufacturing).
Destruction will be allowed only under specified circumstances and must be carried out in accordance with the waste treatment hierarchy, giving priority to recycling
“Do you think emojis will ever become part of formal language? Are we going to see emojis in laws or letters from the pension fund?” - Emojis are mainly used in informal language, because (or that’s why?) one of their main functions is to signal closeness, familiarity and a lack of hierarchy between the conversation participants. This is also the reason why a lack of emojis from a personal chat message may trigger questions like “what have I done?!”, because it could signal that the friendly relationship is disturbed. So I think emojis wouldn’t be used in legal code. But in official letters, maybe! I once received an email from a university administrator with a ☺️ and I appreciated it a lot.

Super-Link Fragility in Asymmetric W-Class States under Quantum Noise

Abstract: The asymmetric three-qubit W-class state $|\overline{W_3^L}\rangle$ defines an isosceles entanglement-network geometry, (a) two vertex-base (VB) links form stronger bipartite connections, (b) while the base-base (BB) link is weaker. This suggests that concentrating entanglement into a super-link may be advantageous for quantum-network tasks. Here, we show that this intuition is incomplete. We analytically compare the bipartite concurrence dynamics of the symmetric |W> state and the asymmetric $|\overline{W_3^L}\rangle$ state, which differ both in entanglement-network geometry and excitation sector under standard noise models. In the absence of noise, the concurrence hierarchy is C_{VB} > C_W > C_{BB}$. Under phase damping, this hierarchy is preserved for all noise strengths and no entanglement sudden death occurs. Under amplitude damping, however, the hierarchy is reordered. The symmetric |W> state becomes the most robust, while the base-base concurrence of $|\overline{W_3^L}\rangle$ vanishes at the finite threshold of parameter $\gamma$. We term this reordering as the \textit{Super-Link Fragility Effect}. The same structural asymmetry that produces a stronger vertex-base link also makes it more vulnerable to energy dissipation when coupled with multi-excitation amplitudes. Under depolarization, the asymmetry advantage is erased, with $C_W$ and $C_{VB}$ sharing the same sudden-death threshold for some value of the parameter p, while $C_{BB}$ disappears earlier at some other value of the parameter p. The generalized amplitude damping channel continuously connects the damping-dominated regime to the pure-excitation limit, where the initial hierarchy is restored. These results show that entanglement robustness in $W$-class resources is controlled not by initial concurrence alone, but by the joint structure of entanglement-network geometry, excitation sector, and noise symmetry.

If you are an anarchist and you speak only one language, learn another one. Learn the language of your land, the indigenous language where you live. Learn the language of your ancestors, especially those languages that the state has tried to murder away. Learn an international language other than English, which have also been targets of state repression.
Prioritize languages that you both have some connection with (because it's hard to learn a language you don't care about) and languages that the state has tried to erase (because there are *reasons* those languages were targeted). Language (which can't be fully separated from culture) adds complexity. The state often tries to murder away language because (among other reasons) hierarchy is threatened by complexity. Every language adds some surveillance overhead, some more than others.

Abstract: We consider the problem of verifying a message passing program in which the number of processes is a parameter NP and each process knows its unique ID. Processes communicate using send and receive commands which specify a single destination or source. To verify the program, the user provides functions specifying the number of messages sent from process i to process j, the level of each communication event in the happens-before hierarchy, and a fact that holds for the k-th message sent from i to j. These are used to transform the program to a parameterized sequential program which can be verified using any techniques appropriate for such programs. We realize this approach in an extension to Frama-C/Wp to verify C/MPI programs.

Abstract: The intricate motion arising from fluid--boundary interactions is visually compelling, yet notoriously difficult and computationally expensive to simulate in the presence of complex boundaries. Accurately resolving boundary geometry requires body-fitted grids constructed via cut-cell methods, which often leads to poorly conditioned linear systems in the pressure projection stage and, consequently, prohibitive computational cost. We present FastVEM, an efficient boundary-conforming fluid simulation framework that enables high-fidelity flow--boundary interaction at substantially reduced cost. Computational efficiency is achieved through a coordinated, top-down design spanning numerical discretization, grid construction, and linear solvers. FastVEM adopts a Virtual Element Method (VEM) discretization to robustly enforce incompressibility and boundary conditions on irregular body-fitted grids, and employs a VEM polynomial-space Particle-in-Cell scheme for advection. Complementing this discretization, a convexity-preserving cut-cell strategy is introduced to construct simulation-friendly body-fitted grids. To accelerate pressure projection, we develop a Galerkin geometric multigrid solver featuring a diffusion-free prolongation operator that prevents coarse-level matrix densification, along with a nested, boundary-aware grid hierarchy that ensures well-posed placement of coarse-level degrees of freedom. Compared to prior cut-cell--based fluid simulators, FastVEM speeds up the computationally dominant pressure projection stage by up to 100x, while robustly handling even more challenging boundary geometries.

Alan Kay’s original “Dynabook” vision superficially resembles modern laptops and tablets — uncannily resembles in many ways! — but it’s the opposite in one important respect:
Our modern devices are beautifully designed, hermetically sealed products in which there is a strong vendor / user hierarchy.
The Dynabook, as I understand it, would be the opposite of hermetically sealed. It arrives not as a finished design, but as a starting point. Embedded in that “for children” ethos is the idea of play, tinkering, scribbling, making a mess and cleaning it up — and thus the idea of devices being •reshapable•.
