With no way out of a worsening war, Zelensky’s options look bad or worse
Zelensky has said Ukraine will accept nothing less than the return of all its territory, including land that Russia has controlled since 2014.
But with the battle lines changing little in the last year, militarily retaking the swaths of east and south Ukraine that Russia now occupies

The 2024 NFL Draft is on April 25-27 in Detroit. Here is the first-round order, per Tankathon. The Las Vegas Raiders missed the playoffs for a second straight season, but they might be on the upswing. After the team fired Josh McDaniels after Week 8, it went 5-4 under interim head coach Antonio Pierce, who was eventually hired for the full-time gig. The Raiders must make the most of the 2024 NFL Draft to capitalize on the momentum. 2023 record: 8-9 | First-round pick: No. 13 | Team ne…

Looking at complaints can be one way of surfacing pain points in a workflow. Often used by designers as input for customer journey maps.

But you also need to consider who is behind the complaint, who feels comfortable complaining and who is not given an opportunity to complain.

If you don't know what I mean by "not given an opportunity to complain", I'd urge you to read more about privilege, oppression and social norms.

Microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Large Magellanic Cloud based on 20 years of OGLE observations

arXiv:2403.02398v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Measurements of the microlensing optical depth and event rate toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) can be used to probe the distribution and mass function of compact objects in the direction toward that galaxy - in the Milky Way disk, Milky Way dark matter halo, and the LMC itself. The previous measurements, based on small statistical samples of events, found that the optical depth is an order of magnitude smaller than that expected from the entire dark matter halo in the form of compact objects. However, these previous studies were not sensitive to long-duration events with Einstein timescales longer than 2.5-3 years, which are expected from massive ($10-100\,M_{\odot}$) and intermediate-mass ($10^2-10^5\,M_{\odot}$) black holes. Such events would have been missed by the previous studies and would not have been taken into account in calculations of the optical depth. Here, we present the analysis of nearly 20-year-long photometric monitoring of 78.7 million stars in the LMC by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) from 2001 through 2020. We describe the observing setup, the construction of the 20-year OGLE dataset, the methods used for searching for microlensing events in the light curve data, and the calculation of the event detection efficiency. In total, we find 16 microlensing events (thirteen using an automated pipeline and three with manual searches), all of which have timescales shorter than 1 yr. We use a sample of thirteen events to measure the microlensing optical depth toward the LMC $\tau=(0.121 \pm 0.037)\times 10^{-7}$ and the event rate $\Gamma=(0.74 \pm 0.25)\times 10^{-7}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\,\mathrm{star}^{-1}$. These numbers are consistent with lensing by stars in the Milky Way disk and the LMC itself, and demonstrate that massive and intermediate-mass black holes cannot comprise a significant fraction of dark matter.
