«Laut Robér Bormann von den SBB sei das Problem aber erkannt und das Buchungssystem Ende letzten Jahres geändert worden. Doch seien noch Tickets im Umlauf, wo Probleme auftauchen könnten.»
Ich vermute mal, dass sie keine Buchungen mehr für Wagen 308 annehmen.¹ Dafür Last-Minute-Upgrades anbieten? Oder haben sie ein magisches Buchungssystem, welches die fehlenden Wagen einfach herzaubert? 🫣
¹ Wagen 308 scheint es in Richtung Wien nur im Buchungssystem gegeben zu haben…

Double-Anonymous Review for Robotics
Prior research has investigated the benefits and costs of double-anonymous review (DAR, also known as double-blind review) in comparison to single-anonymous review (SAR) and open review (OR). Several review papers have attempted to compile experimental results in peer review research both broadly and in engineering and computer science. This document summarizes prior research in peer review that may inform decisions about the format of peer review in the field of robotics and makes some recomme…

On Strongly-equitable Social Welfare Orders Without the Axiom of Choice
Social welfare orders seek to combine the disparate preferences of an infinite sequence of generations into a single, societal preference order in some reasonably-equitable way. In [2] Dubey and Laguzzi study a type of social welfare order which they call SEA, for strongly equitable and (finitely) anonymous. They prove that the existence of a SEA order implies the existence of a set of reals which does not have the Baire property, and observe that a nonprincipal ultrafilter on $\mathbb{N}$ can …

Equilibria and Group Welfare in Vote Trading Systems
We introduce a new framework to study the group dynamics and game-theoretic considerations when voters in a committee are allowed to trade votes. This model represents a significant step forward by considering vote-for-vote trades in a low-information environment where voters do not know the preferences of their trading partners. All voters draw their preference intensities on two issues from a common probability distribution and then consider offering to trade with an anonymous partner. The re…
