Talk:Free-rider problem

message: Suggestion: This article can become a discrete topic under social loafing if a section devoted to how the free rider problem applies in a societal context. 
I think that if we analyze how different economic structures support/discourage free riders, the article would become stronger. Readers are looking for real world evidence in current events and history which point to the free rider problem. By going into established theories on how communism vs. capitalism affects free riders, and how certain cultures around the world have different effects on free riders at an individual level, (such as collectivist cultures in the East having documented lower problems with social loafing), we can create an informative article on this issue. I welcome suggestions as to how to best approach this as I plan on contributing personally to such a section in the article.

The human economic migration problems (globally) seem to be good examples of how the free-rider problem can impact the decisions of large populations to migrate long distances to take advantage of the largess of more economically developed countries.  There is hope that once settled, these migrants will become "net producers" and leave the ranks of free-riders.  In the meantime, the existing "net producers" in the countries hosting these new economic immigrants bear the weight of paying for the increased costs of accommodating the new residents (who may be citizens, or not).  As we have seen all over Europe in the last 20 years of Middle Eastern wars, the host countries have been severely strained by the increased costs and have erected considerable physical and legal barriers to unrestricted immigration (amid great criticism from advocates for free migration).  The US, facing the evacuation of impoverished people from Central America moving to the US border, is struggling with this issue and has not reached consensus on the balance between altruism and self-interest of its own citizens.  I would like to see an academic/economic (not political) discussion of the free-rider problem involving human migration.76.25.0.122 (talk) 18:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Surely it should be one or the other. If so, I should be (1) because (2) seems circular.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisfoxinc (talk • contribs) 11:43, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

message: "Note: A lobe is characterized by a localized maximum bounded by identifiable nulls."
This could use further elucidation. Could an expert please describe the terms "localized maximum" and "nulls" in some detail? One can certainly guess the meaning, but a quick paragraph about what these mean in practice would be helpful. --Rethunk
Shouldn't it be mentioned that often a lobule is a subdivision of a biger lobe (as opposed to the intependent small lobe)

replies: text: Thanks. Regarding this edit, I have not factual objection to describing MBTI as ineffective. I don't, however, think Frontiers Media/Frontiers in Psychology should be used for this. It is not produced by a reputable publisher, and citing a borderline or arguably pseudoscientific journal for claims about pseudoscience is just asking for trouble, even if in this case the findings agree with more reputable sources. In this case, being pseudoscientific and being ineffective are also somewhat redundant. While it's hardly a mystery, it would also probably be better to spell-out what it fails to effectively do if we're going to point out that it's ineffective. Just calling it ineffective is not unreasonable, but it's too vague, in other words. Grayfell (talk) 04:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

message: The article states that a patient called “Maria” reported an OBE. I’ve not found any evidence so far that this “Maria” ever publicly identified herself or made any public statement about her alleged experience.

Maybe not, but shouldn’t the article say  that Kimberly Clark is the one reporting the OBE (even though she alleges that “Maria” experienced it)? On the other hand, if there really is any concrete evidence that this “Maria” existed (other than Clark’s say-so) and spoke of an OBE as Clark described, shouldn’t that evidence be referenced in this Wikipedia article?

The original issue - like Sgt. Pepper - also came with an insert sheet of cut outs.

Of interest , is the interior notes , even after the mandated change , the notes still refer to the now "outer sleeve" as the gatefold , and the now "gatefold" as the front cover!
It should also be noted , it's not just the front of Sgt.Pepper that got parodied … the band against a yellow background parodies Pepper's gatefold ( Roy Estrada is even cradling his legs like Paul McCartney. ) , and the band against a red background with one member facing the opposite way - the back cover of Pepper - is also parodied. "Motorhead" is the forward facing Mother - in the McCartney position - holding a blank piece of paper. And , whereas as the Mothers hands do not spell out anything - The Beatles hands spell out "love" -  Frank is making a hand gesture , which is either "peace" or "up yours" depending on your country of origin.

This is not quite right.  The "anti-aliasing" filter goes at the beginning of the process between the analog signal and the ADC.  The filter at the end of the process is a low-pass filter called the "reconstruction filter".

thread_title:  Small Mistake in Introduction 

message: Looking at Nyquist–Shannon_sampling_theorem#Shannon's_original_proof, Shannon was just one mathematical step (and the obvious assertion of Fourier series periodicity) away from writing the Poisson Summation Formula for his specific case (T = 1/2B).  Instead he chose to describe that step in the briefest possible text, which makes it look like he was trying to avoid drawing attention to Poisson's earlier and more general discovery.  Perhaps Shannon's actual contribution was not his proof, but highlighting the relevance of Poisson's work to contemporary DSP.  I mention this because of all the other 20th century mathematicians we mention who have an arguable claim to the discovery.  But Poisson was a century ahead of them all.

message: In the section 'Application to multivariable signals and images' talking about digital cameras, there is this:
This is not my area, but is that actually true? I thought the main point of Nyquist-Shannon was that the analog signal has to be bandwidth-limited before being digitized, to avoid aliased signals in the digital representation, because aliased signals generally can't be 'filtered out' of a digitized signal, because they don't look any different than un-aliased signals.
Or is smartphone digital photography one of the special cases mentioned in the article's 1st section?
I feel that 'remove aliasing with a digital filter' needs at least a word or two of explanation. Surely with a smartphone camera they aren't just oversampling by 2x or 4x??
