Donald Trump sued his niece Mary Trump, The New York Times, several journalists and ABC in September 2021.
The original complaint alleged the defendants engaged in an “insidious plot” that was “motivated by a personal vendetta and their desire to gain fame.”
Trump’s lawyers argued that the group of journalists from The New York Times “relentlessly sought out” his niece to persuade her to “smuggle” records to the newspaper.

I updated my guide on how to deploy self-hosted #Discourse. The configuration of the internal nginx (inside the container) recently changed (for the better) in a way that affected my previous advice.
I seem to have been maintaining this guide for over five years now; I started in June 2021. 79 edits so far, most of which have been mine.

Siri (Beta) is really interesting.
On one hand, I don't have to trust any new parties with my data. Apple already has it since they have my mobile devices, so if they were going to maliciously steal (e.g.) my email contents, they could already do that. This opens the door to a whole bunch of LLM data based interrogation that I wouldn't trust with other providers.
…on the other hand, the "on-device only" Siri falls over immediately when disabling the internet c…
Improved Approximation Guarantees for Groupwise Maximin Share Fairness

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.

Five years ago, the West risked a
full-blown diplomatic crisis with NATO ally Turkey
when 10 ambassadors called for the release of a man they saw as a political prisoner,
prompting an angry President Tayyip Erdogan to order their expulsion.
After two frantic days in 2021,
the sides stepped back from the brink with the U.S., French, German, Canadian and other envoys issuing conciliatory statements
and Erdogan saying they would be more careful in the future…

'Berlijn, 1931. De stad heeft te lijden onder de economische crisis en onzekerheid. Terwijl de 32-jarige Germanist Jakob Fabian overdag zijn werk als reclame-copywriter doet, verkent hij samen met zijn medestudent Labude 's nachts de onderwereldkroegen, bordelen en kunstenaarsstudio's. - Dominik Graf's Film (2021) is gebaseerd op de originele versie van de beroemde roman van Erich Kästner.'
