If it turns out our best experts and detailed reporting strongly indicate Portland is not in fact “war ravaged”
can we get an Analysis™ of why the President gets to say this sort of thing without much in they way of direct reporting to the effect that he is spouting nonsense in a worrying manner?
It really is astonishing that Trump
—through a weird combination of total shamelessness on his part and sneaking regard on theirs
—has largely gotten to the media to treat him…

Simpler is Faster: Practical Distance Reporting by Sorting Along a Space-Filling Curve
Range reporting is a classical problem in computational geometry. A (rectangular) reporting data structure stores a point set $P$ of $n$ points, such that, given a (rectangular) query region $Δ$, it returns all points in $P \cap Δ$. A variety of data structures support such queries with differing asymptotic guarantees such as $k$-d trees, range trees, $R$-trees, and quadtrees. A common variant of range queries are distance reporting queries, where the input is a query point $q$ and a radius $…

DTInsight: A Tool for Explicit, Interactive, and Continuous Digital Twin Reporting
With Digital Twin (DT) construction and evolution occurring over time, stakeholders require tools to understand the current characteristics and conceptual architecture of the system at any time. We introduce DTInsight, a systematic and automated tool and methodology for producing continuous reporting for DTs. DTInsight offers three key features: (a) an interactive conceptual architecture visualization of DTs; (b) generation of summaries of DT characteristics based on ontological data; and (c) i…

In DMARC reporting, if you configure a mail address that does not match the policy domain, you have to "allow" receiving dmarc reporting mails by configuring a record [policyhost]._report._dmarc.[mailhost].
Plenty of people seem to be unaware of that. If you happen to run email servers at Facebook, Amazon(Cloudfront), Fastly, or Microsoft (Bing), and wonder why you don't receive DMARC reports: This is why.
