Bayerns Microsoft-Deal ist offenbar geplatzt. Die Lizenzkosten für MS stiegen seit 2020 um über 60 % — von 30 auf knapp 50 Mio. Euro. Jetzt will Digitalminister Mehring einen modularen „souveränen Basisarbeitsplatz" entwickeln, der sogar Blaupause für ganz Deutschland werden soll. Ein Umdenken, das überfällig war. #DigitaleSouveränität

It’s been more than five years since the election,
the results already had been investigated multiple times,
and the ballots had been counted, recounted, and recounted again.
The lie that the 2020 election was stolen has persisted.
And the “Stop the Steal” movement’s most ardent believers now hold unprecedented positions of power,
including on the once-sleepy State Election Board in the important swing state of Georgia.
A lawyer known for his willingness …

Election lies fuel an FBI raid and a push to rewrite voting laws as the 2026 midterms approach.

Ce qui est intéressant dans la décision, c'est que la justice française s'aligne sur une classification faite par la justice allemande il y a 6ans (BGH Urt. v. 18.06.2020, Az. 4 StR 482/19). Le cas allemand était encore moins claire, car la volonté n'avait pas été relevé avec la même clarté. Selon le BGH, il suffisait que l'automobiliste était indifférent au sort des autres.

Introduction to D3
So far in 6.859, we've primarily been working with visual analysis grammars like Vega-Lite or VizQL (Tableau). These grammars break visualization design down into a process of specifying mappings (or visual encodings) between data fields and the properties of graphical objects called marks. They're useful for concisely and rapidly creating recognizable visualizations, while giving us more design flexibility (or expressivity) than chart typologies like Microsoft Excel. However, describing visual…
