At first glance, the Trump administration’s deployment of more than 200 F.B.I. analysts to Georgia this week seems to be another stubborn assault on a fact that has refused to budge:
Despite the president’s baseless claims, no evidence of fraud in the 2020 election has ever surfaced there.
But critics contend that it is just one piece of a broader effort to sow doubt about the electoral process itself
and the integrity of elections to come.
And no matt…

Ich hab ein Video gestern gesehen, wo es um die Domain afd-aichbach,de ging. Diese möchte die AfD gerne haben. Und hat nun den Besitzer von der Domain verklagt, der Besitzer ist ein Freund von dem Youtuber Hey Wolfi.
Das ganze fing schon im jahr 2020 an, das was da abgeht, ist echt komisch.
Jedenfalls haben die wohl einen guten Anwalt und sie wollen durch alle Instanzen gehen, bis zum bitteren Ende ..
hoffe das beste, damit diese braune gezocks die Domain nicht bekommt ;D…

Improved Approximation Guarantees for Groupwise Maximin Share Fairness
Georgios Amanatidis, Anna Korfiati, Evangelos Markakis, Christodoulos Santorinaios

Abstract: We study the problem of fairly allocating a set of indivisible goods to a set of $n$ agents with additive valuation functions. We focus on the very demanding notion of \textit{groupwise maximin share fairness} (GMMS), which requires that each agent $i$ receives value comparable to their maximin share, where the latter is computed \textit{with respect to any subset of agents that contains $i$}. We show that it is possible to compute $(\phi-1)$-approximate GMMS allocations in polynomial time, where $\phi \approx 1.618$ is the golden ratio). This improves on the previously known guarantee of $4/7$ of Chaudhury et al. [SICOMP; 2021] and Amanatidis et al. [TCS; 2020]. We propose a simple algorithm that maintains the same main properties as the Draft-and-Eliminate algorithm of Amanatidis et al. [TCS, 2020] and we improve on the approximation guarantee analysis by carefully bounding the relevant value within any subinstance induced by the restriction of our allocation to a subset of agents. Our analysis is asymptotically tight for algorithms that share these properties and has the additional benefit of giving improved guarantees for restricted settings; in particular, when the agents agree on the top $n$ goods or when the number of agents is small. To illustrate the challenges of going beyond the guarantees of our algorithm, we also present a variant with an improved approximation of $(\sqrt{10}-1)/3 \approx 0.72$ for the case of three agents. To achieve this improvement we partially characterize the maximin share guarantees of short picking sequences for a small number of goods.

Late #ThursDeath this week, it's still Thursday here for a bit. This week is this unreal new DESECRESY record, 'The Secret of Death'. Supposed to be out today, now, should definitely be up by tomorrow, the 22nd, etc. But these 2 singles are great, and I heard the rest, it is too.

But absurdity is no impediment to religious belief—credo quia absurdum. Working mostly off-campus, I noticed no real change in my own university until the BLM-riot-inspired anti-racism crisis of 2020, when I found that academe, originally a place for the free exchange of ideas, had become almost unrecognizable. Higher education has begun a transformation along the same lines as the 1966 “Cultural Revolution” in Maoist China.

Joe diGenova,
a GOP lawyer who represented Donald Trump in his bogus election fraud cases in 2020
and a longtime fixture in right-wing media,
complained in April that then-Attorney General Pam Bondi had “nixed” him from a role overseeing a planned investigation of Trump’s political enemies.
Now, just weeks after her removal, he’s reportedly ensconced in that position.
The Trump Department of Justice, through grand juries in Florida, is targeting a wide array of…

Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…
