“I’m not paying my federal income taxes this year,”
Rachel Cohen declared in a recent Instagram video that received more than 140,000 likes.
The 31-year-old lawyer in Chicago plans to put the $8,800 she owes the federal government in a high-yield savings account instead.
She doesn’t want to fund wars in Iran and Gaza or immigrationagents detaining her neighbors, she said.
Many commenters said they wanted to do the same.
Others worried about her. “I’ve gotten a l…

Bounded Local Generator Classes for Deterministic State Evolution

Abstract: We formalize a constructive subclass of locality-preserving deterministic operators acting on graph-indexed state systems. We define the class of Bounded Local Generator Classes (BLGC), consisting of finite-range generators operating on bounded state spaces under deterministic composition. Within this class, incremental update cost is independent of total system dimension. We prove that, under the BLGC assumptions, per-step operator work satisfies W_t = O(1) as the number of nodes M \to \infty, establishing a structural decoupling between global state size and incremental computational effort. The framework admits a Hilbert-space embedding in \ell^2(V; \mathbb{R}^d) and yields bounded operator norms on admissible subspaces. The result applies specifically to the defined subclass and does not claim universality beyond the stated locality and boundedness constraints.

The biggest surprise of Donald Trump’s first year back in office is 🆘 how quickly America’s institutions capitulated to
“the bully”,
said Michael Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) turned arch critic.
But with the midterm elections for Congress looming, Steele predicts a resounding Democratic victory
amid a hunger among voters to hold the president and his allies accountable for threatening democracy.
Steele, 67, was the first Blac…

Increasing plant diversity in agricultural grasslands boosts yields, reducing reliance on fertilizer
Higher plant diversity in agricultural grasslands increases yields with lower inputs of nitrogen fertilizer. That is the headline finding of a landmark, international study led by Trinity College Dublin that paints a promising picture for more sustainable agriculture.
