Großartige Zusammenfassung des aktuellen Kurses durch den Experten des Center of Automotive Management.
Vielleicht deswegen der Rücktritt von Thierry Breton?

It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday! ⚡
"Men say that the marriage of Zeus and Hera was held in the territory of the Knossians, near the river Theren, where now a temple stands in which the natives of the place annually offer holy sacrifices and imitate the ceremony of the marriage, in the manner in which tradition tells it was originally performed."

Ich hoffe mal, die EU-Kommission wird einiges zu erklären haben, nachdem sie dem Kanzlerwunder für die deutsche Steinzeitindustrie vor Kurzem noch großzügig das alte Arschloch ausgeschleckt haben, nur damit der jetzt damit angibt, wie er die EU jederzeit gerne für ein Plätzchen in Trumps geräumigem Rektum vor den Bus stoßen würde.
📢 Abschluss von Mercosur-Handelsabkommen soll verschoben werden
EU-Kommissionspräsidentin von der Leyen verschiebt ihre Pläne für eine Unterzeichnung des Mercosur-Handelsabkommens mit den südamerikanischen Staaten. Das berichten mehrere Nachrichtenagenturen übereinstimmend. Ursprünglich hätte das Abkommen am Samstag unterschrieben werden sollen.

Wir leben in Zeiten, in denen der Wunsch, kein Arschloch als Regierungschef zu haben, leider eine politische Forderung ist. Ich würde mir wünschen er wäre Minimalkonsens.

Abstract: We revisit the well-studied problem of designing fair and manipulation-resistant tournament rules. In this problem, we seek a mechanism that (probabilistically) identifies the winner of a tournament after observing round-robin play among $n$ teams in a league. Such a mechanism should satisfy the natural properties of monotonicity and Condorcet consistency. Moreover, from the league's perspective, the winner-determination tournament rule should be strategyproof, meaning that no team can do better by losing a game on purpose.
Past work considered settings in which each team is fully selfish, caring only about its own probability of winning, and settings in which each team is fully selfless, caring only about the total winning probability of itself and the team to which it deliberately loses. More recently, researchers considered a mixture of these two settings with a parameter $\lambda$. Intermediate selfishness $\lambda$ means that a team will not lose on purpose unless its pair gains at least $\lambda s$ winning probability, where $s$ is the individual team's sacrifice from its own winning probability. All of the dozens of previously known tournament rules require $\lambda = \Omega(n)$ to be strategyproof, and it has been an open problem to find such a rule with the smallest $\lambda$.
In this work, we make significant progress by designing a tournament rule that is strategyproof with $\lambda = 11$. Along the way, we propose a new notion of multiplicative pairwise non-manipulability that ensures that two teams cannot manipulate the outcome of a game to increase the sum of their winning probabilities by more than a multiplicative factor $\delta$ and provide a rule which is multiplicatively pairwise non-manipulable for $\delta = 3.5$.
