#CommonplaceBook reading, abundance, maybe some hopeful green shoots. Read to the end for a picture of me weeding out the less good green shoots.

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:

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.

Marjane Satrapi, the brave and talented creator of the wonderful and honest graphic novel Persepolis, has died. Her magnum opus is an autobiography, telling of her young years growing up during the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the Iran-Iraq war of 1980, and then moving to Austria, for safety and to study. But Vienna isn't the safe space her family was hoping for, she's having a difficult time, and returns to Iran. The difference between the two worlds really show. Back home, she can…
