GSM: Der Anfang vom Ende in Österreich
Der Countdown für GSM hat nun auch in Österreich begonnen. Die Abschaltung trifft vor allem Maschinen, kann aber auch die Netzabdeckung reduzieren.

Some CNN staffers are worried about mismanagement, along with political interference, if CBS News' current leadership takes control following Paramount takeover (Washington Post)

What the looming sale of CNN means for Trump’s feud with the network
Animosity from the White House has taken on new meaning amid an imminent sale to David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance, fueling anxiety among journalists.

Diese "Strukturkrise im Maschinenbau" ist auch eine politische Krise. Wir haben sehr lange über Innovation, Fortschritt und Qualität am Markt überzeugen können. Damit konnten wir hohe Preise rechtfertigen und Wertschöpfung in Deutschland und Europa sichern.
Nun aber fördert und protectet unsere Politik veraltete Technologien, die ohne legislativen Support am Markt chancenlos wären. Gleichzeitig vertreibt rechte Politik Fachkräfte und Investitionen und Bildung verhungert.

Strukturierte Daten auf #wikicommons sind ungemein nützlich. Mit ihnen lassen sich z.B. Bildinhalte strukturiert und (dank Linked Open Data) wunderbar maschinenlesbar erfassen und dann auch mit #SPARQL abfragen. Bilder von SPD-Mitgliedern des Weimarer Reichtstags? Kein Problem:

"Fraudsters without Borders" was the original name for "Board of Peace".
Also the name of the Trump family.

Simultaneous EF1 and approximate MMS allocations for submodular valuations

Abstract: There are two common classes of fairness notions that are considered when allocating $m$ indivisible items to $n$ agents of equal entitlements. One is that of share-based fairness notions, with the maximin share (MMS) and its relaxations to $\rho$-MMS being prominent representatives of this class. The other is that of comparison-based fairness notions, with envy-freeness (EF) and its relaxations such as EF1 being prominent representatives of this class. In general, no class offers good guarantees for the other class. In this work, we design allocations that simultaneously satisfy notions from both classes, and specifically, are $\rho$-MMS for constant $\rho$ and EF1 (in fact, also EFL). Such results were previously known when agents have additive valuations, and we prove such results for the more general class of submodular valuations.

Listening to Anthony Healy (?) head of APRA holding forth on RNZ. I'm reminded of how badly broken the concept of Copyright is. Their whole model is driven by corporate 'rights holders' who want to extract maximum $ from the market, and not the interests of individual creators who desperately need the income. The model rewards those who're already successful. New & small creators get nuthin', especially if they haven't sold out to the big evil streaming providers.…
