It would, though, signal a remarkable comeback from a period of eclipse, and from an often dismal record on public services.

Bodega: Serving Linearizable Reads Locally from Anywhere at Anytime via Roster Leases
We present Bodega, the first consensus protocol that serves linearizable reads locally from any desired node, regardless of interfering writes. Bodega achieves this via a novel roster leases algorithm that safeguards the roster, a new notion of cluster metadata. The roster is a generalization of leadership; it tracks arbitrary subsets of replicas as responder nodes for local reads. A consistent agreement on the roster is established through roster leases, an all-to-all leasing mechanism that ge…

Permutations in competing growth processes and balls-in-bins
Consider a model of $N$ independent, increasing $\mathbb{N}_0$-valued processes, with random, independent waiting times between jumps. It is known that there is either an emergent `leader', in which a single process possesses the maximal value for all sufficiently large times, or every pair of processes alternates leadership infinitely often. We show that in the latter regime, almost surely, one sees every possible permutation of rankings of processes infinitely often. In the case that the wait…

Oh hey, good things do happen even in the darkest times. Yarvin is taking about fleeing the country.
The thinks that Trump's fascism is failing (which it is) and tha Trump is incapable of doing what it takes to actually hold power. He's afraid of vengeance, which is honestly unlikely given how completely useless the democrats actually are. But I'm glad he's afraid. I hope he runs away to Russia, gets drafted and deployed to Ukraine, and eats a drone.
I also hope he can somehow convince Thiel to be afraid, but I think that's unlikely.
The fact is that if Trump fails, which I think he will (and Yarvin thinks it could be soon), it won't be because of Democratic leadership. It will be because of antifascist organizing and community resistence. We will have, once again, kept ourselves safe while the DNC argued over how much of their values they should abandon and how much of the left to sacrifice to "get votes."
