I live in silicon valley. My reality is that my neighbors are from India, China, Korea, Japan, Persia, Russia, Germany, Mexico, Vietnam, and probably places I don't know about. The hatred that republicans exhibit about immigration is sad and bizarre. We all share life experiences.
I think you have identified one of the problems. 🧐
This is the distribution of the number of pages of papers submitted to Crypto 2026. 314 of the 752 papers have at least 50 pages, and 22 have at least 100 pages. Clearly the 30 page limit isn't cutting it.
Because the name "Google plus" worked out so well last time.
perhaps now it is more evident that the first female president in the US will be a republican.
how many articles of clothing do you own that you haven't worn in five years?
“You may be grieving at first, but, believe me, you’ll be smiling when you see how much less you’re shelling out every month,” said President Donald Trump

archive.is/LAaZi I don't think there is just a single day you can point to, but support for Israel is definitely eroding in the US.
It feels like @pkp.sfu.ca should be able to keep a web site up and running. forum.pkp.sfu.ca has been down for a while now.
About page limits. Why do CS conferences have them? If you look at the length of papers posted to eprint.iacr.org, 96% of them are at most 75 pages. Seems like we should just publish them instead of jumping through hoops to fit the old world of paper.
I suspect that Trump's popularity in his country is approximately equal to what the Ayatollah's popularity was in Iran.
Note: the publishers don't provide the gatekeeping. It's the peer review that provides the gatekeeping, and that is done by other scholars - not publishers.
It's somehow fitting that it ended up with Elsevier.
For the last few months I've been working with a colleague on trying to improve a result in number theory that I proved about 40 years ago. I'm out of practice in number theory but it's odd how quickly it comes back.

This video should be on every network.
We've received an offer for a corporate credit card for Digicrime. 🤔
when I lived in Los Angeles I always thought of it as the land of firm bodies and flabby minds.
Time for you to step up your game.
I've pretty much had it with bots crawling eprint. Today there was someone who was requesting /2025 every five seconds, not noticing that it's a redirect to /2025/
I think my next project is going to be a LaTeX generator that contains random mathematics in order to pollute the training of LLMs.
I'm not an editor of eprint.
hard to believe that I've been retired for 8 years now.
I dont think I have been to a movie theater in 20 years.
It's somehow representative of the state of science in the USA that the NSF server is not working today. 🤕
I resemble that remark.
