Chodci vs. tramvaj 0:1. Dopravní podnik po nedávné tragédii zvolil drsnou kampaň

Hodně drsnou kampaň zvolil pražský Dopravní podnik v reakci na nedávnou tragédii, při níž po srážce s tramvají na Břevnově zemřela mladá dívka. Vybrané tramvaje totiž v rámci své pokračující kampaně "Neskákej mi pod kola!" vybavil speciálním polepem zobrazujícím skóre chodci vs. tramvaje 0:1.

LDP tries to move carefully but quickly as budget deadline looms

The budget cleared the Lower House, where the Liberal Democratic Party's ruling bloc has a supermajority, but the path through the Upper House is much less certain.

Buzzy new paper on why current Digital Product Passport offerings -(centralized databases, Ethereum-style blockchains, and AI-derived data), are sunk cost failures.

Some Simple Economics of AGI argues that while AI commoditizes many capabilities, data generated internally—such as from user interactions or proprietary workflows—creates compounding advantages hard for rivals to replicate, even as AGI advances."

Some Simple Economics of Agi: Christian Catalini (Mit) Xiang Hui (Washu) Jane Wu (Ucla) February 24, 2026 | PDF | Artificial Intelligence | Intelligence (AI) & Semantics

The document discusses the economic implications of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), highlighting the shift from human cognition to autonomous AI systems and the resulting challenges in verifying AI outputs. It argues that the binding constraint on growth is human verification capacity, which must scale alongside AI capabilities to prevent a 'Hollow Economy' characterized by unverified outputs and systemic risks. The authors propose strategies for individuals, companies, and policymakers to adapt to this new landscape, emphasizing the importance of verification as a primary production technology and the need for robust liability frameworks.

Like the Democratic Party for the People, the party fears the political cost of not taking part in talks over the proposed consumption tax cut for food items.

Looks as if #Taiwan's opposition party #TPP has completely lost the plot. While the #KMT goes deep blue with its new chairwoman #ChengLiwun and courts #China, the TPP follows like a lap dog - out of obvious spite against the ruling #DPP.
Such a disappointment, this could have been an important step to break the stronghold of just two parties if only the TPP had insisted on doing its own thing and following its own #politics.

TPP, KMT to announce joint policy platform on March 13: Huang - Focus Taiwan

The Taiwan People's Party (TPP) and Kuomintang (KMT) will announce a joint policy platform on March 13, as a prelude to a formal cooperation agreement ahead of Taiwan's November 2026 local elections, TPP Chairman Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) said Wednesday.

Does #ChengLiwun realise that she is the chairwoman of the #KMT, the party of butcher #ChiangKaishek?
This tasteless demagogue managed to distort the events of February 28 1947 and the ensuing era of #WhiteTerror by turning the KMT into victims of some imaginary "green terror" by the #DPP. There really is no decency or respect for the deceased with this toxic woman.

KMT still is an abbreviation for "Kill Many Taiwanese", and the KMT is an invasive species in #Taiwan .
