Polarization-Differential Loss Enabled High Polarization Extinction in Hollow-Core Fibers
Delivering a well defined state of polarization over hollow core fibres (HCFs) is pivotal for next generation ultra stable photonic systems. Yet in all existing HCFs, whether birefringent or not, thei...

I'm surprised nobody's pointed out that relying on an impoverished Global South to supply manpower for developed economies is pretty exploitative and unsustainable.
Birth rates are lowering *literally everywhere.* The only countries which keep growing in power will be the ones which continue to grow, and without immigration that will not be “the West.”
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

The sad thing is that there are always far too convincing people to special-plead away the parallels as they are happening. The process is obfuscated until it's much too far along.
I understand looking for historical parallels when we’re at the stage of warning signs, but when the evil arrives the priority is to deal with what’s actually in front of you.
