And I do hope my students find applications for what they learn in my class, that mathematics permeates their world and informs how they solve problems.
But if all I could say is that all my students understand the difference between marginal and effective tax and how brackets are applied? If that's *all* they remember? That'd put them ahead of most adults I meet who generally DO NOT get this concept. And this common misunderstanding has many consequences!

Bluesky Free Our Feeds initiative turns out to be a blockchain play.
Remember a couple months ago when #FreeOurFeeds showed up asking for $30M to save Bluesky from billionaires by making a second 'relay'.
Well, now the plan is to hook the #Bluesky 'firehose' up to some kind of blockchain thing and declare it 'distributed' and safe from billionaires.

60°F (15°C) in the sun, but we were not in the sun... Shorts and a T-shirt were not brilliant choices on my part. Shivering by the end from the rather chilly breeze! 🥶

How much more proof do we need that this administration is completely compromised? There is zero reason for the US to relax any offensive digital actions against Russia. If anything, we should be applying more.
Martin Matishak over at The Record writes that the former Fox news host turned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.
"Hegseth gave the instruction to Cyber Command chief Gen. Timothy Haugh, who then informed the organization's outgoing director of operations, Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Ryan Heritage, of the new guidance, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity."
"The order does not apply to the National Security Agency, which Haugh also leads, or its signals intelligence work targeting Russia, the sources said."
"While the full scope of Hegseth’s directive to the command remains unclear, it is more evidence of the White House’s efforts to normalize ties with Moscow after the U.S. and international allies worked to isolate the Kremlin over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine."

if this report is true, a disaster is unfolding which cannot be repaired in a lifetime. trust is hard to win & easy to lose. the US has lost the trust of the world, and Hegseth choosing Munich to announce Ukraine’s abandonment recently was disgustingly appropriate.
