Somehow I got myself on this mailing list, every month or 3 they send a list of used printing equipment in Europe. I actually enjoy glancing at it, definitely a Heavy Metal vibe, for example this thing, made in 2011, has printed 137M impressions, and can be yours for a mere 420,000€. Free shipping probably not available.

SFMTA board is hearing Mayor Lurie’s mass displacement plan to banish working-poor, mostly Latino families living in RVs from the city.
Here’s the “refuge permit” designed as window dressing to make liberals feel ok about this. Notice to get one, you have to “agree to accept offer of… interim… housing,” ie agree to be displaced a little later anyway. 💩

Twisted second moment of primitive cubic L-functions
We investigate the mean value of the twisted second moment of primitive cubic $L$-functions over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ in the non-Kummer setting. Specifically, we study the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{χ primitive\ cubic\\ genus(χ)=g}}χ(h_1)\barχ(h_2)|L_q(\frac{1}{2}, χ)|^2, \end{equation*} where $L_q(s,χ)$ denotes the $L$-function associated with primitive cubic character $χ$. Employing a double Dirichlet series approach, we establish an error term of size

A penalized least squares estimator for extreme-value mixture models
Estimating the parameters of max-stable parametric models poses significant challenges, particularly when some parameters lie on the boundary of the parameter space. This situation arises when a subset of variables exhibits extreme values simultaneously, while the remaining variables do not -- a phenomenon referred to as an extreme direction in the literature. In this paper, we propose a novel estimator for the parameters of a general parametric mixture model, incorporating a penalization appro…
