Florida wildlife officials gave preliminary approval for the first black bear hunt since one 10 years ago that was halted early after more than 300 bears were killed in only two days.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted 4-1 at a meeting in Ocala in favor of a bear hunt in December and annually into the future,
allowing the use of up to six dogs to corner the bears.
Methods could include bowhunting, similar to rules for hunting deer, and bear hunting…

Florida gives preliminary approval to controversial black bear hunt amid strong opposition
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has given preliminary approval for a black bear hunt for December and into the future, which could eventually allow the use of up to six dogs to corner the bears and use of bowhunting. The commission voted 4-1 Wednesday on the proposal, which would be the first bear hunt since 2015 when more than 300 bears were killed in only two days. Hunt supporters say managing bear populations is key to preventing dangerous encounters with humans. Oppone…

CumCum-Milliarden: Zeit ist Steuergeld
Wusstest Du, dass dem Staat 28,5 Milliarden Euro durch illegale CumCum-Geschäften entzogen wurden? Jetzt bewegt sich Finanzminister Klingbeil endlich, um das Geld zurückzufordern. Aber das Geld ist noch längst nicht zurück: Dafür braucht es den Einsatz von mehr Personal. Jetzt unterzeichnen ✍️ und teilen!

Project-connex Decompositions and Tractability of Aggregate Group-by Conjunctive Queries
We introduce 'project-connex' tree-width as a measure of tractability for counting and aggregate conjunctive queries over semirings with 'group-by' projection (also known as 'AJAR' or 'FAQ' queries). This elementary measure allows to obtain comparable complexity bounds to the ones obtained by previous structural conditions tailored for efficient evaluation of semiring aggregate queries, enumeration algorithms of conjunctive queries, and tractability of counting answers to conjunctive queries. …

H-NeiFi: Non-Invasive and Consensus-Efficient Multi-Agent Opinion Guidance
The openness of social media enables the free exchange of opinions, but it also presents challenges in guiding opinion evolution towards global consensus. Existing methods often directly modify user views or enforce cross-group connections. These intrusive interventions undermine user autonomy, provoke psychological resistance, and reduce the efficiency of global consensus. Additionally, due to the lack of a long-term perspective, promoting local consensus often exacerbates divisions at the mac…

Fraude « CumCum » : un sénateur se rend à Bercy pour demander des comptes sur l’affaiblissement de la loi
Le rapporteur général du budget au Sénat cherche à comprendre pourquoi le ministère des finances a affaibli le dispositif adopté à l’unanimité par le Parlement pour mettre fin à cette fraude fiscale, qui prive chaque année la France de 1,5 milliard à 3 milliards d’euros d’argent public.

Tight Bounds for Answering Adaptively Chosen Concentrated Queries
Most work on adaptive data analysis assumes that samples in the dataset are independent. When correlations are allowed, even the non-adaptive setting can become intractable, unless some structural constraints are imposed. To address this, Bassily and Freund [2016] introduced the elegant framework of concentrated queries, which requires the analyst to restrict itself to queries that are concentrated around their expected value. While this assumption makes the problem trivial in the non-adaptive …
