This is utterly unacceptable. The international Dance community must condemn this loudly and publicly.

Bellingcat’s "Auto Archiver" is a tool aimed at preserving online digital content before it can be modified, deleted or taken down.
Publicly launched in 2022,
it has preserved over 150,000 web pages and social media posts to date.
The Auto Archiver has been used by Bellingcat’s journalists to preserve information on dozens of fast moving events such as the Jan. 6 riots

The Lurie/Mandelman RV ban is still set to go into effect and tow people's homes on Nov. 1, the same day SNAP expires and at the same time federal agents are in the Bay to terrorize immigrants.

All Eyes on the Mayor’s RV Ban - No Tows Before Housing!
DSA SF is continuing its opposition to Daniel Lurie’s two-hour restriction on RV parking, which will take effect on November 1st, 2025. We know this policy for what it is - the latest attempt by San Francisco’s oligarch Mayor to exile poor and working class people from the City. While San Francisco has put in place a refuge permit program, it’s deeply flawed. The City’s initial eligibility list excludes many longtime RV residents, and those that are eligible have an uncertain offer of …

Video-to-BT: Generating Reactive Behavior Trees from Human Demonstration Videos for Robotic Assembly
Modern manufacturing demands robotic assembly systems with enhanced flexibility and reliability. However, traditional approaches often rely on programming tailored to each product by experts for fixed settings, which are inherently inflexible to product changes and lack the robustness to handle variations. As Behavior Trees (BTs) are increasingly used in robotics for their modularity and reactivity, we propose a novel hierarchical framework, Video-to-BT, that seamlessly integrates high-level co…

How Much Can a Behavior-Preserving Changeset Be Decomposed into Refactoring Operations?
Developers sometimes mix behavior-preserving modifications, such as refactorings, with behavior-altering modifications, such as feature additions. Several approaches have been proposed to support understanding such modifications by separating them into those two parts. Such refactoring-aware approaches are expected to be particularly effective when the behavior-preserving parts can be decomposed into a sequence of more primitive behavior-preserving operations, such as refactorings, but this has…

"Kindly share the appropriate contact person or email address for your security team, along with any details regarding a bug bounty program or incentives for reporting vulnerabilities, as this effort has required considerable time and resources."
kindly research whether there is a bug bounty and optionally ask if unsure before putting in considerable time and effort without being asked, you fucking jackass.

freshmen: Zeggelink's freshmen (1999)
Snapshots of friendships among freshmen majoring in Sociology at the University of Groningen, collected five times over the 1998-1999 year. The direction of an edge indicates that student i is friends with student j, and the edge weight gives their friendship level from 1 (best friend) to 5 (troubled relation). Metadata include gender, age, program type, and smoking behavior.
This network has 34 nodes and 1156 edges.

Big-Stop Semantics: A Simple Way to Get the Benefits of Small-Step Semantics in a Big-Step Judgment
As evident in the programming language literature, many practitioners favor specifying dynamic program behavior using big-step over small-step semantics. Unlike small-step semantics, which must dwell on every intermediate program state, big-step semantics conveniently jump directly to the ever-important result of the computation. Big-step semantics also typically involve fewer inference rules than their small-step counterparts. However, in exchange for ergonomics, big-step semantics give up pow…
