TIL: Anfang der 1990er gab es unter dem Namen „Piazza Virtuale“ ein Kunstprojekt im Rahmen der damaligen Documenta, das Möglichkeiten des interaktiven Fernsehens erforschte und ausprobierte. Plattform war damals 3sat, Rundfunkbeitrag bei der Arbeit. Das Projekt wurde vor wenigen Jahren wissenschaftlich nachbereitet. Wenn ihr auch darüber lernen möchtet, empfehle ich zum Einstieg den zugehörigen Golem-Podcast:

Der Experimental-TV-Sender, der 1992 für kurze Zeit ein europäisches soziales Netzwerk aufspannte, ist fast vergessen. Wir wollen das im Podcast ändern.

Der geplante Abbau unserer sozialen Errungenschaften geht weiter: Eine Praxisgebühr *pro Arztkontakt* soll nun den "Bankrott" abwenden.
Ja, wo geht denn das ganze Geld nur hin? Doch nicht an die zehn Familien die halb Deutschland besitzen?

"Sozialstaat quasi insolvent": Arbeitgeberverbände wollen Kosten mit neuer Praxisgebühr senken
Trotz des bürokratischen Aufwands werden Rufe nach einem Comeback einer Praxisgebühr lauter. Um die ausufernden Krankenversicherungsbeiträge zu stabilisieren, schlagen Arbeitgeber eine neue Zahlung für Arztbesuche vor. Einen zentralen Unterschied soll es aber geben.

Sen. Alex Padilla says he was at the Wilshire Federal Building waiting to start a briefing with top military officials when he heard that Kristi L. Noem,
the homeland security secretary,
was holding a news conference on the federal presence there.
He asked the people escorting him if he could attend it.
Noem was in the middle of criticizing local leaders as “socialists” and “burdensome” for not coordinating more closely with the federal government
when Padilla…

What did Sen. Alex Padilla get handcuffed for?
The California Democrat was muscled to the ground after interrupting a Homeland Security news conference. He wondered if it was worth it.

Nonlinear Nonlocal Diffusion Equations for the Analysis of Continuous Coordination and Anti-Coordination Type Games
Coordination games with explicit spatial or relational structure are of interest to economists, ecologists, sociologists, and others studying emergent global properties in collective behavior. When assemblies of individuals seek to coordinate action with one another through myopic best response or other replicator dynamics, the resulting dynamical system can exhibit many rich behaviors. However, these behaviors have been studied only in the case where the number of players is countable and the …
