DHS: Filming Cops, ICE Officers Is a 'Violent Tactic'

DHS: Filming Cops, ICE Officers is A ‘Violent Tactic’ from the accountability-is-the-ultimate-threat dept The DHS has been hyping assault stats for weeks, making it sound like there’s an actual war on ICE officers. The reality was much more underwhelming: the 700% increase touted in press releases reflected a mere 69 more assaults on officers than during the same period in 2024. Hardly worth remarking on, especially since ICE enforcement activities have exponentially exploded during the same t

Cancer DNA is detectable in blood years before diagnosis

news.ycombinator.com Meghan Rosen 2025-07-21 06:39:06

The findings suggest that hunting for these telltale traces using highly sensitive and accurate technology co

A New Geometry for Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Kunzinger and Sämann wanted to use their new way of estimating curvature to determine whether these singularity theorems would still be valid if they no longer assumed space-time is smooth. Would singularities persist even in rougher, more realistic-looking spaces? It’s important to find out if the smoothness condition can be waived, Sämann said, because doing so would bring the theorems closer to physical reality. After all, he added, “we believe non-smoothness is an inescapable part of the nat
