Immigration and Customs Enforcement has quietly rescinded guidance that advised ICE agents conducting courthouse raids to take steps to avoid violating state and local laws while carrying out civil immigration arrests. The subtle policy change could lead to an escalation in enforcement tactics and legal disputes. Revised policy guidance recently posted to ICE’s website and reviewed by WIRED reveals efforts by the agency to enhance the discretion and autonomy of the federal agents making arrests

American streets are incredibly dangerous for pedestrians. A San Carlos, California-based startup called Obvio thinks it can change that by installing cameras at stop signs – a solution the founders also say won’t create a panopticon. That’s a bold claim at a time when other companies like Flock have been criticized for how its license plate-reading cameras have become a crucial tool in an overreaching surveillance state. Obvio founders Ali Rehan and Dhruv Maheshwari believe they can build a b

The Department of Energy announced today that it would be clawing back $3.7 billion worth of awards made under the Biden administration for clean energy and manufacturing. Large corporations and growing startups were caught up in the decision. Energy secretary Chris Wrights said the moves were “due diligence” on the part of the Trump administration. His statement did not cite specific reasons why the projects were canceled, but pointed to a memorandum he issued on May 15, which suggests that th

Aggregate packing density One-dimensional compression strength tests have shown that in MICP-treated sand, at the micro level, the bonds between the calcium carbonate and the aggregates break first, followed by the destruction of calcium carbonate crystals and ultimately the breakage of aggregates20. Maximizing the aggregate content is therefore crucial for achieving high compressive strength of the biocemented material. Packing density optimization allows to increase the volume ratio of aggreg

The Federal Trade Commission has delayed the start of a rule that aims to make the process of canceling subscriptions less of a nightmare.

It's the technique most famously employed in AlphaZero, Google DeepMind's 2016 program that achieved mastery at the games of chess, shogi, and Go in 2018.
