At an intersection near our house in Dallas, one home has a large Talarico sign in the front yard. The home directly across the street has a large Paxton sign. That’s what it’s like down here one month before Election Day. The candidates are neck-and-neck. Votes are split across streets and among families. The latest poll by Texas Public Opinion Research has Democrat James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton by five points.

Digital media has become inescapable, and there’s still a lot we don’t know about its effects on young people’s physical and mental health. But we do have enough evidence of its harms to warrant government action, say the authors of a series on “digital determinants of health” published today in The Lancet.

Such questions are critical to a long-standing puzzle of percolation theory, a subfield of probability theory focused on the permeability of networks.More specifically, for years, mathematicians have sought to better understand a threshold that applies to these networks: above this threshold, the odds are high that a particular network is comprised of infinite open connections, while below it, those odds are low. Better characterizing of this transition has been considered a…

“To the victor belong the spoils.” This is what President Donald Trump told leaders of the world’s nations in the middle of his rambling address to the United Nations General Assembly’s annual meeting in New York last week. It was an unequivocal repudiation of the very principle on which the institution he was speaking to was founded. This signals a dangerous global future at a time when the U.N.’s ability to spur collective solutions to global threats is more essential than ever.Trump was referring specifically to the extortion of Venezuelan oil assets following the abduction of its leader Nicolás Maduro…
