A Goemans-Williamson type algorithm for identifying subcohorts in clinical trials
We design an efficient algorithm that outputs a linear classifier for identifying homogeneous subsets (equivalently subcohorts) from large inhomogeneous datasets. Our theoretical contribution is a rounding technique, similar to that of Goemans and Williamson (1994), that approximates the optimal solution of the underlying optimization problem within a factor of $0.82$. As an application, we use our algorithm to design a simple test that can identify homogeneous subcohorts of patients, that are …

Reminder: public protest is about visibility, not hiding. The power comes from people being willing to be visible, put their time on the line, and if needed, their bodies.
If you're going to start shit, maybe just ... don't. Direct action of the illegal sort requires careful planning and a tactical and strategic plan for why it will win. It happens sometimes, but it's not the mode, it's not the mode of the No Kings protests. This is a popular, public demonstration of outrage. It's legal (for now, and I hope, ever).
Yes, the police may try to kettle protesters and then trap them into curfew violations in places that have curfews. Masks won't save us from that where it happens. Just running the system with competent representation (and enough bodies to make it A Problem for the system) will.
We don't all need to be masked vigilantes at protests, and in a lot of cases, we need to be worried about the people masking up and starting shit. Remember that this is our opponents current tactic: masked, violent attacks. Don't look like them.

Trump has ordered more troops to Los Angeles and Washington than he currently has stationed in Syria and Iraq combined.
He seems more willing to use the military against Americans than against Iranians.
He celebrates a show of force on U.S. soil even as he denounces “endless wars” outside its borders.

Trump Relishes Troops in American Streets While Shunning Conflict Overseas
The seemingly disparate postures of recent days speak to the president’s complicated relationship with the military.

I already said it and I will say it again: If you stand with trans people or not, if you will support them without questions and without holding back or if you think of them as acceptable losses, might be the tipping point if we can preserve our democracy — or not.
Acceptance of trans people — or rather the lack of it — is the pond fascists dip their toes in to test the water if we are willing and open to being divided.

"The videos coming out of LA and other cities reveal something Trump's politics can’t touch: the fierce humanity of people willing to risk everything for one another. They don’t just document resistance: they ignite it."
