OMG, someone reported today's Metacurity email as a phishing email, and it seems that Gmail has now reclassified it as phishing.
As a consequence, most of the recipients didn't open the email if the weirdly low open rate is any indication.
Does anybody have any advice on how to deal with this? Hasn't happened before.

The following “Dear Joe” email exchange is a hypothetical email colloquy
between an expert in military law and a fictional service member seeking advice on how to deal with the current situation.
The content is based on publicly reported facts, the Manual for Courts-Martial, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the authors’ opinions.
Military law establishes a strong presumption that military orders are lawful and must be obeyed.
We do not counsel any military mem…

Dear JAG: What Do I Do if I Get Unlawful Orders to Blow Up Civilian Boats
Orders are presumed to be lawful, but that presumption is rebuttable rather than conclusive.

I found MAKE celebrating Palmer Luckey to be disgusting, and I let them know it.
I never thought I would see MAKE celebrating evil people like him.
Feel free to let dale@make.co know if you're not a fan of this sort of thing.

Day 10: Stacey Mason
Another academic, but this time one of my compatriots; we overlapped at UC Santa Cruz as advisees of Michael Mates, and even collaborated on a Twitch stream called ScholarsPlay for a bit, although we never coauthored any papers. We did chat about our research, and I had many good discussions with her about agency in interactive fiction, a topic we both published on. Her paper "On Games and Links: Extending the Vocabulary of Agency and Immersion in Interactive Narratives" (#20AuthorsNoMen

MAQCY: Modular Atom-Array Quantum Computing with Space-Time Hybrid Multiplexing
We present a modular atom-array quantum computing architecture with space-time hybrid multiplexing (MAQCY), a dynamic optical tweezer-based protocol for fully connected and scalable universal quantum computation. By extending the concept of globally controlled static dual-species Rydberg atom wires [1], we develop an entirely new approach using Q-Pairs, which consist of globally controlled and temporally multiplexed dual-species Rydberg blockaded atom and superatom pairs. Space-time hybrid mult…

Unión del Barrio has been doing “know your rights” workshops
and training people on how to spot ICE and report to the community when they do see them.
Cardona said it is important to document ICE raids and kidnappings to help people understand what they have been seeing and the way ICE goes about these operations.
Advocates have also been organizing patrols and responding to reported ICE activity.
Cardona said there have been many instances where community members in L…

Racial Profiling Is ICE’s New Norm. Activists Are Mobilizing in Response.
Arizonans long endured grim racial profiling under SB 1070. Now the Supreme Court has greenlighted its use nationwide.

Low Complexity Weight Flexible Decoding Schemes of Linear Block Code for 6G xURLLC
Low complexity error correction code is a key enabler for next generation ultra-reliable low-latency communications (xURLLC) in six generation (6G). Against this background, this paper proposes a decoding scheme for linear block code by leveraging certain interesting properties of dual codewords. It is found that dual codewords with flexible weights can provide useful decoding information for the locations and magnitudes of error bits, which yielding higher reliability performance. In addition,…
