Smart ring maker Oura's CEO addresses recent backlash, says future is a 'cloud of wearables' | TechCrunch
Oura CEO Tom Hale is trying to set the record straight about the smart ring maker's partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD) and data miner Palantir, which is used by defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in the United States and elsewhere.

— one of the most fundamental pieces of data needed to understand the issue
— the state said no.

"Data for Indigenous Justice"
in 2020 after trying to collect the names of missing and murdered Indigenous people to read at a rally,
only to discover no government agency had been keeping track.

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.

The high-order Hermite discrete correction function method for surface-driven electromagnetic problems
The Hermite-Taylor method evolves all the variables and their derivatives through order $m$ in time to achieve a $2m+1$ order rate of convergence. The data required at each node of the staggered Cartesian meshes used by this method makes the enforcement of boundary and interface conditions challenging. In this work, we propose a novel correction function method, referred to as the discrete correction function method, which provides all the data required by the Hermite method near the surface wh…

Innovating Augmented Reality Security: Recent E2E Encryption Approaches
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) has emerged as a fundamental element of modern digital communication, protecting data from unauthorized access during transmission. By design, E2EE ensures that only the intended recipient can decrypt the information, making it inaccessible even to service providers. Yet, this powerful safeguard of individual privacy and digital trust also introduces a paradox: it can simultaneously prevent law enforcement efforts by hiding potential malicious activities.
