    The mass deportations of immigrants that President-elect Donald Trump has promised aren’t likely to make a dent in the nation’s housing crisis, many experts say, despite what he and his supporters claimed during his campaign. Not only is the link between mass deportation and housing availability tenuous at best, but mass deportation may likely result in far fewer homes being built.

  • What is Salt Typhoon? A Security Expert Explains the Chinese Hackers and Their Aattack on U.S. Telecommunications Networks

    Lost in the noise of the story is that Salt Typhoon has proved that the decades of warnings by the internet security community were correct.

  • A 2006 Study Found Undocumented Immigrants Contribute More Than They Cost Texas. The State Hasn’t Updated It Since.

  • Supply Chain Uncertainty

    Supply chains are extremely complex, to the point that almost no business or organization is likely to know the details of its supply chain below the immediate level. This opacity can result in vulnerabilities developing without the affected parties even being aware of them. There is thus a need to building resilience in the face of impending threats.

The long view

  • Are We Ready for a ‘DeepSeek for Bioweapons’?

    Anthropic’s Claude 4 is a warning sign: AI that can help build bioweapons is coming, and could be widely available soon.

With Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4 having finally triggered this level of safety risk, the clock is now ticking.”
