Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont)
is taking on the “retirement crisis” in the U.S.
with a new bill aimed at guaranteeing pensions or solid retirement plans for every worker in America.
On Thursday, Sanders introduced the "Pensions for All Act",
which would require corporations to provide a retirement plan equivalent to or better than the pensions plan offered to members of Congress.
“If we are serious about addressing the retirement crisis in America,

Sanders Introduces “Pensions for All Act” to Ensure Workers Can Retire
Only 9 percent of Americans have pensions today, compared to 44 percent in 1975.

Analytical Optimization for Antenna Placement in Pinching-Antenna Systems
As the main issue in pinching-antenna system design, antenna location optimization is key to realizing channel reconfigurability and system flexibility. Most existing works in this area adopt sophisticated optimization and learning tools to identify the optimal antenna locations in a numerical manner, where insightful understandings of the pinching antenna placement are still missing. Motivated by this research gap, this paper aims to carry out analytical optimization for pinching antenna place…

I had a bitbuy account long time ago (back when there might have been legit reasons for #crypto) and I guess I never closed it.
But wtf. We're going after the youth market now are we? Yes, I choose my currency and investments based on how cute/fun the mascot is. :(

Robust Resource Allocation for Pinching-Antenna Systems under Imperfect CSI
Pinching-antenna technology has lately showcased its promising capability for reconfiguring wireless propagation environments, especially in high-frequency communication systems like millimeter-wave and terahertz bands. By dynamically placing the antenna over a dielectric waveguide, line-of-sight (LoS) connections can be made to significantly improve system performance. Although recent research have illustrated the advantages of pinching-antenna-assisted designs, they mainly presuppose complete…

Secure Pinching Antenna-aided ISAC
In this letter, a pinching antenna (PA)-aided scheme for establishing a secure integrated sensing and communication system (ISAC) is investigated. The underlying system comprises a dual-functional radar communication (DFRC) base station (BS) linked to multiple waveguides to serve several downlink users while sensing a set of malicious targets in a given area. The PA-aided BS aims at preserving communication confidentiality with the legitimate users while being able to detect malicious targets. …
