If you read the headlines or on social media, you’ve seen what’s happening.
• The career professional laid off after 22 years who can't get rehired
• The small business owner who can’t keep up with tariffs or inflation
• The young adult feeling like they’ll never be able to afford a home
• The retiree forced back to work after their retirement account took a hit
These aren't isolated incidents. They're symptoms of a fundamental shift.

What Exactly Is Required to Preserve Our Democracy?
It will take a “total mobilization of our forces,” in the words of new Autocracy in America host Garry Kasparov.

I wish this were ironic, but it's not. The article itself has intelligent-sounding sentences, which a Web search shows up on other sites. The publisher claims to have a "strict plagiarism policy"…which I'm realizing can be read two different ways.

"MediaMatters for America" is good to read. ALWAYS. Here's their story about how media is reporting on, and ignoring, our own governments plans to implement NAZI "ethnic cleansing" deportations.

Mainstream media ignore Trump’s planned Office of Remigration, a term for ethnic cleansing
Mainstream media outlets almost entirely ignored news that the Trump administration is reportedly reorganizing the State Department to include a new “Office of Remigration.” “Remigration” is a term long used by far-right extremists to describe ethnic cleansing. 

Oh no - not another mission impossible.

Some people I know in real life will not even read a basic Wikipedia article, and it shows.
Even just the surface level will tell you anarcho‑syndicalism is rooted in worker self‑management, democratic participation, and organizations run by their own members. That is the core, no bosses, no central authority, just the people who do the work making the decisions together.
That is why I am drawn to it and to any group built on the same principles. When someone calls anarcho‑syndic…

Reliability of Capacitive Read in Arrays of Ferroelectric Capacitors

Reliability of Capacitive Read in Arrays of Ferroelectric Capacitors
The non-destructive capacitance read-out of ferroelectric capacitors (FeCaps) based on doped HfO$_2$ metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) structures offers the potential for low-power and highly scalable crossbar arrays. This is due to a number of factors, including the selector-less design, the absence of sneak paths, the power-efficient charge-based read operation, and the reduced IR drop. Nevertheless, a reliable capacitive readout presents certain challenges, particularly in regard to device var…

Rethinking LSM-tree based Key-Value Stores: A Survey
LSM-tree is a widely adopted data structure in modern key-value store systems that optimizes write performance in write-heavy applications by using append writes to achieve sequential writes. However, the unpredictability of LSM-tree compaction introduces significant challenges, including performance variability during peak workloads and in resource-constrained environments, write amplification caused by data rewriting during compactions, read amplification from multi-level queries, trade-off b…

Design and Simulation of 6T SRAM Array
Conventional 6T SRAM is used in microprocessors in the cache memory design. The basic 6T SRAM cell and a 6 bit memory array layout are designed in LEdit. The design and analysis of key SRAM components, sense amplifiers, decoders, write drivers and precharge circuits are also provided. The pulse voltage waveforms generated for read and write operations as well as Q and Qbar nodes are simulated in LTSpice. Parasitic capacitances are extracted and their impact on the waveforms analyzed. Static noi…

Sharp quantitative integral inequalities for harmonic extensions
We prove a quantitative version of a sharp integral inequality by Hang, Wang, and Yan for both the Poisson operator and its adjoint. Our result has the strongest possible norm and the optimal stability exponent. This stability exponent is not necessarily equal to 2, displaying the same phenomenon that Figalli and Zhang observed for the $p$-Sobolev inequality.

Linear codes for $b$-symbol read channels attaining the Griesmer bound
Reading channels where $b$-tuples of adjacent symbols are read at every step have e.g.\ applications in storage. Corresponding bounds and constructions of codes for the $b$-symbol metric, especially the pair-symbol metric where $b=2$, were intensively studied in the last fifteen years. Here we determine the optimal code parameters of linear codes in the $b$-symbol metric assuming that the minimum distance is sufficiently large. We also determine the optimal parameters of linear binary codes in …

If you read the "Bluesky requires IDs now" post:
1. This only applies to UK users.[1]
2. It's because the UK is building a surveillance state that requires websites and apps to do this, not because Bluesky is evil.[2]
3. It's either that or shut down in the UK.
Whether you like it or not, this also affects Mastodon—and even personal blogs with comments enabled.[3]

An Architecture for Distributed Digital Identities in the Physical World
Digital identities are increasingly important for mediating not only digital but also physical service transactions. Managing such identities through centralized providers can cause both availability and privacy concerns: single points of failure and control are ideal targets for global attacks on technical, organizational, or legal fronts. We design, analyze, and build a distributed digital identity architecture for physical world transactions in common scenarios like unlocking doors, public t…

Every republican in an interview should be asked about the statement, read the statement, and then asked to denounce it. Any who don’t denounce it should be told it’s unconstitutional and not debatable and given a 2nd opportunity to denounce it. Those who don’t should have their interviews ended.
