Achieving Coordination in Non-Cooperative Joint Replenishment Games
We analyze an infinite-horizon deterministic joint replenishment model from a non-cooperative game-theoretical approach. In this model, a group of retailers can choose to jointly place an order, which incurs a major setup cost independent of the group, and a minor setup cost for each retailer. Additionally, each retailer is associated with a holding cost. Our objective is to design cost allocation rules that minimize the long-run average system cost while accounting for the fact that each retai…

Cyberattack that crippled Middletown's systems shows how hackers target smaller cities
Over 2 months after a cyberattack took the city's utility payments offline, Middletown can't charge locals. The hack is part of a growing trend.

Trump on Wednesday (January 7, 2026) signed an executive order suspending U.S. support for 66 organisations, agencies and commissions
following his instructions for his administration to review participation in and funding for all international organisations,
including those affiliated with the United Nations.
Most of the targets are UN-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labour and other issues that the Trump administration has categori…

U.S. to exit 66 international organisations as Trump further retreats from global cooperation
The U.S. plans to withdraw from 66 international organizations, primarily UN-related, under Trump's administration, emphasizing national interests.

Una parte de intentar estar al margen del sistema de consumo es currarse los modos alternativos. Por suerte tenemos a gente maravillosa que hace grandes acciones y en las que podemos entrar a formar parte. Desde banca que busca financiar a proyectos éticos como Coop57, cooperativas de energía como Som Energia, cooperativas de consumo como Som Conexio.... hasta instancias de redes sociales federadas como todas estas en las que nos movemos, el software libre, la wikipedia, openstreetmaps.... j…

"King" Trump has signed what’s called a “presidential finding,”
or a classified directive authorizing covert action, against the regime of Venezuelan ruler Nicolšs Maduro.
This would allow the CIA to conduct “lethal operations in Venezuela”
as well as “a range of operations in the Caribbean,” according to the Times.
Covert action could be taken “either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation.”

Paris court rejects bid to suspend Shein platform in France
A Paris court has rejected a government request to suspend the Chinese fast-fashion platform Shein in France. Authorities found illegal weapons and child-like sex dolls for sale on Shein's website. Shein welcomed the decision on Friday, saying it remains committed to strengthening its control processes in cooperation with French authorities. The controversy began in early November when France's consumer watchdog and Finance Ministry moved to suspend Shein's online marketplace. French authoritie…

Good morning! First snow around, a day of workshop ahead, #commuting by train again.
Yesterday I had to go by car - I admit that I found it quite annoying to be forced to concentrate on the traffic. But I also attended a #meetup which brought a good insight.
Anyways, enjoy your day!

TO ANYONE I’VE EVER SPOKEN TO :
EVERYTHING I’VE EVER SAID TO YOU IS COVERED UNDER DOCTOR PATIENT PRIVILEGE
SO YOU CAN’T TELL ANYONE ANYTHING BAD ABOUT ME
ALSO CLIENT ATTORNEY PRIVILEGE.
AND WE’RE MARRIED, SO YOU CAN’T TESTIFY AGAINST ME
DOING ANYTHING SIGNALS YOUR CONSENT TO THIS

I think we can actually prove that this constraint is the *only* constraint that can preserve freedom:
1. There will exist actors in a system who will wish to take advantage of others. Evolution drives survival and one strategy for increasing survival in an altruistic society is to become a parasite.
2. Expecting exploitative dynamics, a system needs to have a set of rules to manage exploitation.
3. If the set of rules is static it will lack the requisite variety necessary to manage the infinite possible behavior of humans so the system will fail.
4. If the system is dynamic then it must have a rule set about how it's own rules are updated. This would make the system recursive, which makes the system at least as complex as mathematics. Any system at least as complex as mathematics is necessarily either incomplete or inconsistent (Gödel's incompleteness theorem). If the system is incomplete, then constraints can be evaded which then allow a malicious agent to seize control of the system and update the rules for their own benefit. If constraints are incomplete, then a malicious agent can take advantage of others within the system.
5. Therefore, no social system can possibly protect freedom unless there exists a single metasystemic constraint (that the system must be optional) allowing for the system to be abandoned when compromised.
Oh, you might say, but this just means you have to infinitely abandon systems. Sure, but there's an evolutionary advantage to cooperation so there's evolutionary pressure to *not* be a malicious actor. So a malicious actor being able to compromise the whole system is likely to be a much more rare event. Compromising a system is a lot of work, so the first thing a malicious actor would want to do is preserve that work. They would want to lock you in. The most important objective to a malicious actor compromising a system would be to violate that metasystemic constraint, or all of their work goes out the window when everyone leaves.
And now you understand why borders exist, why fascists are obsessed with maintaining categories like gender, race, ethnicity, etc. This is why even Democrats like Newsom are on board with putting houseless people in concentration camps. And this is why the most important thing anarchists promote is the ability to choose not to be part of any of that.
