The Postman: A Journey of Ethical Hacking in PosteID/SPID Borderland
This paper presents a vulnerability assessment activity that we carried out on PosteID, the implementation of the Italian Public Digital Identity System (SPID) by Poste Italiane. The activity led to the discovery of a critical privilege escalation vulnerability, which was eventually patched. The overall analysis and disclosure process represents a valuable case study for the community of ethical hackers. In this work, we present both the technical steps and the details of the disclosure process.

PasteTrace: A Single Source Plagiarism Detection Tool For Introductory Programming Courses
Introductory Computer Science classes are important for laying the foundation for advanced programming courses. However, students without prior programming experience may find these courses challenging, leading to difficulties in understanding concepts and engaging in academic dishonesty such as plagiarism. While there exists plagiarism detection techniques and tools, not all of them are suitable for academic settings, especially in introductory programming courses. This paper introduces PasteT…

physics_collab: Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)
Two multiplex networks of coauthorships among the Pierre Auger Collaboration of physicists (2010-2012) and among researchers who have posted preprints on arXiv.org (all papers up to May 2014). Layers represent different categories of publication, and an edge's weight indicates the number of reports written by the authors. These layers are one-mode projections from the underlying author-paper bipartite network.
This n…

Ranked choice voting (RCV)
is an increasingly popular electoral institution that has been posited by reformers and media outlets to produce transformative effects on electoral outcomes and representation.
This article finds no empirical support for the proposition that RCV changed fiscal outcomes or the ideological composition of city councils
— both on absolute terms and relative to mass opinion.
Furthermore, the roll-call based ideal points of legislators serving …

Spectral asymptotics of pseudodifferential operators with discontinuous symbols
We study discrete spectrum of self-adjoint Weyl pseudodifferential operators with discontinuous symbols of the form $1_Ωϕ$ where $1_Ω$ is the indicator of a domain in $Ω\subset\mathbb R^2$, and $ϕ\in C^\infty_0(\mathbb R^2)$ is a real-valued function. It was known that in general, the singular values $s_k$ of such an operator satisfy the bound $s_k = O(k^{-3/4})$, $k = 1, 2, \dots$. We show that if $Ω$ is a polygon, the singular values decrease as $O(k^{-1}\log k)$. In the case where $Ω$…

Someone in the local Facebook group has posted an AI-generated image of Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan and Malcolm-Jamal Warner at the gates of heaven.
They've written "I will never forget horrible July 2025
Rest in peace 💙💙💙"
It has 171 Likes so far.
Boomers sure do love the AI slop.
And the idea that if there is a Heaven, Hogan would be going there.

House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed in a post on X,
“JUST SIX MONTHS into President Trump’s second term, America is safer, stronger, and more prosperous”
—despite ample evidence to the contrary.
Meanwhile, the White House posted an absurd cartoon depicting a slimmed-down Trump with $100 bills and bald eagles flying in the air around him,
plus a nearly two-minute-long video that touted his alleged accomplishments.
But millions of Americans would disagree with those …

Six Months in, Trump Has Made American Life Immeasurably Worse
Dismantling the federal government, yanking support for poor and working-class Americans, and emboldening extremism have been among his accomplishments so far.
