Over the first months of the second Trump presidency, we have watched the guardrails of democracy come off rapidly in real time.
Mass firings of civil servants,
the dismissal of government watchdogs,
the weaponization of the military against our citizens,
the use of the national budget as a cudgel,
and the dehumanization of immigrants. 
💥Donald Trump and his allies are following what we believe is a similar path as autocrats abroad,
with an American…

We Can Stop the Rise of American Autocracy
Stacey Abrams and Kim Lane Scheppele argue that we must act now to stop autocracy from taking over America.

Widest Path Games and Maximality Inheritance in Bounded Value Iteration for Stochastic Games
For model checking stochastic games (SGs), bounded value iteration (BVI) algorithms have gained attention as efficient approximate methods with rigorous precision guarantees. However, BVI may not terminate or converge when the target SG contains end components. Most existing approaches address this issue by explicitly detecting and processing end components--a process that is often computationally expensive. An exception is the widest path-based BVI approach previously studied by Phalakarn et a…

The Energy Sector Has Spent Hundreds of Millions of Dollars on Lobbying This Year. Watchdogs Say That’s Only Half The Story - Inside Climate News
Critics say the Trump administration’s willingness to greenlight any of the fossil fuel industry’s requests allows it to spend less on lobbying.

WatchWitch: Interoperability, Privacy, and Autonomy for the Apple Watch
Smartwatches such as the Apple Watch collect vast amounts of intimate health and fitness data as we wear them. Users have little choice regarding how this data is processed: The Apple Watch can only be used with Apple's iPhones, using their software and their cloud services. We are the first to publicly reverse-engineer the watch's wireless protocols, which led to discovering multiple security issues in Apple's proprietary implementation. With WatchWitch, our custom Android reimplementation, we…

#Thunderbird Mobile is now 96% translated into Bulgarian. The next steps are to make it 100-ish and then do a quality check.
The most common problem so far are the long strings which are not easy to be localized as short as their English friends :)
