Prolific cybercrime gang now targeting airlines and the transportation sector

Prolific cybercrime gang now targeting airlines and the transportation sector | TechCrunch
The fresh wave of attacks targeting airlines comes soon after the hackers hit the U.K. retail sector and the insurance industry.

The US heavily funds its military sector which results in massive exports of hardware and services. The US complains that Europe and China funds other sectors making them cheaper in the US. Shouldn't the US fund other sectors to increase their global competitiveness?
The US complains about European VAT then at the same time says that Americans buy too much. Shouldn't we have a VAT here?
What's the appropriate hashtag for this?

Symmetry Sectors in Chord Space and Relational Holography in the DSSYK
Can there be multiple bulk theories for the same boundary theory? We answer this affirmatively in the double-scaled SYK (DSSYK) model using the tools of constrained systems. We find different symmetry sectors generated by specific constraints within the chord Hilbert space of the DSSYK with matter. Each sector corresponds to a different bulk description. These include chord parity symmetry, corresponding to End-Of-The-World (ETW) branes and Euclidean wormholes in sine dilaton gravity; and relat…

I bet a lot of folks (especially on the tech side) have just stopped paying attention to crypto, which is perfectly sane because we all know that it’s bad technology. On the other hand, the finance sector, with MAGA cheerleading, is still wildly enthusiastic. See https://newsletterhunt.com/emails/1894

Runge--Kutta generalized Convolution Quadrature for sectorial problems
We study the application of the generalized convolution quadrature (gCQ) based on Runge--Kutta methods to approximate the solution of an important class of sectorial problems. The gCQ generalizes Lubich's original convolution quadrature (CQ) to variable steps. High-order versions of the gCQ have been developed in the last decade, relying on certain Runge--Kutta methods. The Runge--Kutta based gCQ has been studied so far in a rather general setting, which includes applications to boundary integr…

Ghost-Free Quantisation of Higher Time-Derivative Theories via Non-Unitary Similarity Transformations
We address the long-standing ``ghost problem" in higher time-derivative theories (HTDTs), where quantisation typically yields sectors with either unbounded spectra or non-normalisable eigenstates; both rendering the theory unphysical. We propose a novel method that preserves the bounded nature of the spectrum in one particular sector while restoring normalisability by employing a non-unitary similarity transformation. Inspired by techniques from pseudo/quasi-Hermitian PT-symmetric quantum mecha…

I offered to show my sisters how to build up 500k credit card points as an alternative to paying for travel (like I've been trying to do). They are not interested, though. I wouldn't blame them but they both want to come with to Japan next year.
