Kostenexplosion bei TWE-Reaktivierung im Kreis Gütersloh - das sorgt für Kritik
Ab Ende 2027 sollen die Züge der TWE durch den Kreis Gütersloh rollen. Wie jetzt bekannt wurde, steigen die Kosten deutlich. Der Bund der Steuerzahler wirft den TWE-Planern vor, anfangs mit einem „Schaufensterpreis“ agiert zu haben.

Bounding Clique Size in Squares of Planar Graphs
Wegner conjectured that if $G$ is a planar graph with maximum degree $Δ\ge 8$, then $χ(G^2)\le \left\lfloor \frac32Δ\right\rfloor +1$. This problem has received much attention, but remains open for all $Δ\ge 8$. Here we prove an analogous bound on $ω(G^2)$: If $G$ is a plane graph with $Δ(G)\ge 36$, then $ω(G^2)\le \lfloor\frac32Δ(G)\rfloor+1$. In fact, this is a corollary of the following lemma, which is our main result. If $G$ is a plane graph with $Δ(G)\ge 19$ and $S$ is a maximal c…

I always rush through Los Angeles Union Station - the trains and buses are so infrequent and schedule adherence so spotty that a two-minute dawdle can mean an hour’s delay.
So it is only because of a delayed train and an early-departing bus that I discovered, during the resulting 30-minute wait, that the bus plaza side of the station has two decorative fountains, a drinking fountain, washrooms, and a small monument.

I wonder if when the goggles finally turn out to just not be more viable as a product than a cool tech demo and for niche use cases, they’ll start to incorporate some of what they’ve developed into computer screens and phones.
For example with proper eye tracking you could make well-working planar lenticular 3D screens.
