Sometimes you look at a graph and think that a particular value seems a bit odd. Then you look at the other numbers and they seem off, too. At that point, you realise that the graph is not intended to clarify, but to obscure. On German #EV charging prices, Quartets and diesel.

Sometimes you look at a graph and think that a particular value seems a bit odd. Then you look at the other numbers and they seem off, too. At that point, you realise that the graph is not intended to clarify, but to obscure. Thank you, Felix Hamer, for drawing attention to this recent slide from BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V. The title suggests that EV charging would only cost the same as filling up a diesel or petrol car for the same distance in an 'Extremszenario…

Rumors on evolving graphs through stationary times
We study rumor spreading in dynamic random graphs. Starting with a single informed vertex, the information flows until it reaches all the vertices of the graph (completion), according to the following process. At each step $k$, the information is propagated to neighbors of the informed vertices, in the $k$-th generated random graph. The way this information propagates from vertex to vertex at each step will depend on the ``protocol". We provide a method based on strong stationary times to study…
