Kushner, who is Jewish and whose son Jared is married to Donald Trump’s daughter, published the open letter in the Wall Street Journal amid deep divides between France and the US and Israel.

It seems the government's rather imperfect plan to renationalise the railways is in some peril due to a counter-offensive from the predatory Train Operating Companies.
They are fighting hard now to get their "open access" applications approved before new legislation comes in. And, if approved, they could lock in privatisation for decades.

A Model-Free Detection Method for Internal Short Circuits in Single Lithium-ion Cells Using Pseudo Open-Circuit Voltage Difference
This letter proposes a lightweight, model-free online diagnostic framework for detecting internal short circuits (ISC) in single lithium-ion cells under dynamic operating conditions. The core of the method lies in computing the first-order difference of pseudo open-circuit voltage ($\boldsymbol{\mathrm{OCV}_{\text{pseudo}}}$) to extract high-frequency deviations caused by ISC events from low-frequency polarization variations. The method relies solely on terminal voltage, current measurements, a…

“Under this definition of antisemitism, which absurdly conflates criticism of a nation-state, Israel, and a political ideology, Zionism, with the ancient evil of Jew-hatred, it is impossible with any honesty to teach about topics such as the history of the creation of Israel, and the ongoing Palestinian Nakba”

Deterministic Equations for Feedback Control of Open Quantum Systems
Feedback control in open quantum dynamics is crucial for the advancement of various coherent platforms. For a proper theoretical description, however, most feedback schemes rely on stochastic trajectories, which require significant statistical sampling and lack analytical insight. Currently, only a handful of deterministic feedback master equations exist in the literature. In this letter we derive a set of deterministic equations for describing feedback schemes based on generic causal signals. …

“Reuters published a story just a few days ago, 1 of many warnings: ‘In May, every living former director of NWS signed on to an open letter w/ a warning that, if continued, Trump’s cuts to fed weather forecasting would create needless loss of life.

Differentiable structures on a union of two open sets
In a recent paper the authors classified differentiable structures on the non-Hausdorff one-dimensional manifold $\mathbb{L}$ called the line with two origins which is obtained by gluing two copies of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ via the identity homeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}\setminus 0$. Here we give a classification of differentiable structures on another non-Hausdorff one-dimensional manifold $\mathbb{Y}$ (called letter "$Y$") obtained by gluing two copies of $\mathbb{R}$ via the identity map…

In the spring and summer of 2008, when Donald Trump was still a registered Democrat,
an anonymous blogger known as Mencius Moldbug posted a serial manifesto under the heading
“An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives.”
Written with the sneering disaffection of an ex-believer,
the hundred-and-twenty-thousand-word letter argued that egalitarianism,
far from improving the world,
was actually responsible for most of its ills.
