I'm convinced DARPA just sits around coming up with cheeky acronyms all day.
DARPA's Provably Weird Network Deployment and Detection (PWND?) seeks proposals to fundamentally change the deployment and detection of hidden networks Provably Weird Network Deployment and Detection Sep 23, 2024 Authoritarian regimes are increasingly able to monitor and target internet communications, leaving many people in those countries unable to communicate freely with each other. In response, the internet freedom and national security communities manually design hidden networks with ad hoc techniques, empirically validate them, and then deploy them in the hope that users are not discovered. Over the years, Congress has consistently allocated funds for a range of activities aimed at bolstering global internet freedom. These initiatives have been instrumental in the development of technologies that empower citizens in repressed nations to bypass censorship, the provision of Office Information Innovation Office Related content • Strong filters, bold impact: COFFEE filters advance solution to spectrum congestion • DARPA to announce Al Cyber Challenge winners, bring new experience to DEF CON 33 • Ushering in the new era of cyber resilience • Accelerating cyber resilience: Air Force, DARPA join forces to strengthen cyber defenses • MAGICS: Methodological Advancements for Generalizable Insights into Complex Systems • FLUID • Hackable code and the formal fix | Ep 84 • When should machines decide? | Ep 83

Some cool things about Apple’s new Liquid Glass UI, but something about it doesn’t sit right. Maybe it’s because how hokey San Francisco looks when you make it 3D. Or the poor accessibility of certain UI elements when they have translucent backgrounds.

I, too, am pleased to announce the cease-fire between India and Pakistan.
India-Pakistan Updates What to Know Photos Timelin Conflict "After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE," Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social, congratulating the two countries on using "Common Sense and Great Intelligence." Indian and Pakistani officials confirmed the cease-fire in social media posts, though neither immediately mentioned an American role. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement that he and Vice President JD Vance had engaged with senior officials from both countries, including their prime ministers, over 48 hours. In addition to the cease-fire, India and Pakistan also agreed to "start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site," Mr. Rubio said. However, India's foreign ministry contradicted Mr. Rubio, saying the cease-fire was worked out directly between India and Pakistan, and that there had been no decision to hold talks on any other issue at any location.

tl;dr How did a small town get Homan to cave? He has a home there. More susceptible to pressure from neighbors.

Homan has publicly said that he plans to retire in the community. If local rumors are correct, he has settled on a property on the other side of the village. Protesters, including the principal, Cook, and teachers' union president, Jonna St. Croix, who teaches social studies at Sackets Harbor, had marched to Homan's vacant home on April 5, demanding release of the family from detention. The march, which

known as SEVIS. On Friday, the administration said it would restore the canceled records and no longer terminate students' files based solely on information pulled from the FBI's criminal record system. Lawyers for the students are convinced it was the result of some kind of automated setup, perhaps driven by Al, noting that ICE is in the process of manually reinstating students' records one by one, despite the mass termination that occurred in early April. Though this might have been elucidated further in court proceedings, the administration's reversal may short-circuit further inquiries.
