The issue discussed in the article is that the NY Port Authority has regulations to clamp the prices of these items to comparable items in NYC (based on the average of the 3 lowest cost comparables), and they are not being transparent on which comparable items (if any) they are comparing to.

So no, it is not just a simple issue of supply and demand, it is an issue of lack of governmental transparency.

I've often wondered about escrow for cheat detection.

I'll put $10, $100, $1000 up to enter the player pool at that X level. If someone catches me cheating and can provide evidence via game replays then they can submit it to a group that reviews and then the money is awarded to them.

No bans, if I want to play again then I have to pay again or go back to the public level.

In my experience, it's always the free product/game/saas tiers that have the abuse. Money is a great curb on bad behavior. Not perfect, but drastically reduces the pool of bad actors.

They’re not selling a sandwich, they’re selling a sandwich you can have between flights.

Yes, the term you're looking for is "regulatory capture." Regulatory capture is a phenomenon where incumbent firms or industries manipulate regulations and regulatory bodies to create barriers to entry for new competitors, thereby maintaining or increasing their market power. This concept was first introduced by the economist George Stigler in his 1971 paper, "The Theory of Economic Regulation."

Regulatory capture can take various forms, such as influencing the creation of new regulations that favor incumbents, lobbying for selective enforcement of existing regulations, or even having industry insiders appointed to key regulatory positions. It's a well-studied topic in economics, political science, and public policy, and is seen as a form of government failure that leads to market inefficiencies and reduced competition.

To be honest accuracy Vs precision has always kind of makes sense to be but also not.

If something is extremely accurate, it will also be extremely precise by necessity, it seems like? The difference between low precision but high & low accuracies is that points are closer to center. If you keep getting closer to center, more accurate, don't you necessarily get more precise too?

Precise has always felt like a shitty alternate of accuracy. It's accuracy but with drift, accuracy to not the right place. But if you're accurate, you're both.

Am I missing something? And, here specifically, if this is a case of very high precision but lower accuracy, can someone explain what the drift from center is about? Isn't a radius a radius? Where is the drift off center in these measures?

I live in Japan, and Apple and Google maps really don’t cut it here. I paid for a dedicated GPS unit in my car, and the benefits are:

* Location on the map is represented far more accurately

* Knows which way I am pointed and can give accurate directions as soon as I start navigation, while sometimes with my phone I need to move a bit for it to know which way I’m oriented

* Works in tunnels

* Tends to stick to main roads while Apple and Google maps are far too aggressive sending me down side roads or crossing over 2 lanes of traffic.

* Don’t need to pause navigation or mess around with my phone when getting in and out of the car for breaks

* Has detailed information about the services/stores/restaurants available at each rest stop along the highway, and distances to each stop

* Detailed information about lane closures, temporary speed limit reductions due to weather, chain restrictions, etc

* Displays accurate representations of street signs and 3d renderings of off ramps

* Displays landmarks at intersections (e.g. turn right before the ramen shop on the right)

* Much more customizable interface. I can choose whether I want it to display gas stations, convenience stores, parking, etc. on the map. How many prompts before a turn. I can enable or disable various features like split-screen turn guidance, etc.

I have used both CarPlay and the built-in GPS, and overwhelmingly prefer the built-in GPS. So I disagree that it is just for people who “don’t know better”.

By now, there is a concessions among the particle physics community that SM is incomplete. The same way that we all agree that Newtonian mechanics is incomplete and doesn't describe anything on atomic/quantum level so we don't use it or talk about Newton mechanics when we are in this scale. The same thing happens here, people mostly talk about SM for what it predict and have an answer for not what it lacks (again because it is obviously incomplete).

Yeah? I'm working with a class using a lot of visual/block coding in Microsoft MakeCode. But then, I've also spent time writing code at various places in the (abstract) chain:

hardware <- uCode <- asm <- C/C++ <- TypeScript <- MakeCode/Scracth

In terms of size, C is lower code than asm. TypeScript probably less, depending on what's being done. MakeCode uses blocks instead of text, but the logic concepts are the same. At each step up that stack it gets easier to do some things and harder to do others. Where along that stack does it become 'low code'?

So, when one uses statistics to rule out deviations below 1E-17 radians (or whatever), you're all saying that's not accuracy, it's precision.

I'm also surprised, since IIRC precision is a measure of variance from a set of measurements, and accuracy is a measure of deviation of a value from true.

The statistical aggregation to get an estimate should (I think?) increase both the accuracy of that estimate (it will converge to the true value) and it's precision (the spread of subsequent estimates with more measurements converges to zero or some noise floor).

Here we're measuring something like eccentricity, which has a value and error bars. And the claim is we have eccentricity zero with precision high enough to rule out deviations below 1E-17 radians. So yeah, precision seems to be the better of the two, but accuracy matters.

Either way, this is insanely pedantic.

This is 0x3f800002, which should look pretty familiar to people who work with floating point in hex; it's 2 + the representation of 1.0. To understand the lowest order bits, you've got -0.0 (0x80000000) in there, as well as everything from 0.0 (0x00000000) to 1.0 (0x3f800000) inclusive.

This is a larger number than the one cited in the post because the latter only includes "normal" numbers. This includes the "denormals" as well.

It's awful, but you also have to put yourself in the time period. I don't think this justifies it, but remember that in the 1950s the US defense and intelligence community believed that WWIII was going to happen eventually. They believed they faced the high probability of a full scale global thermonuclear war in their lifetimes.

It's easier to justify this kind of madness when "most of these people are going to die when the nukes hit anyway." There really were a lot of people thinking that way. "These people are already dead."

To get a sense of the mindset here's a good profile of Herman Kahn whose research helped name a death metal band (Megadeth):

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/06/27/fat-man

"How many megadeaths (millions of deaths) will we absorb vs. the Soviets?" etc. A lot of this hideous research was to try to characterize the effects of a thermonuclear war and its aftermath to answer questions like that. The Soviets were doing similar things.

This I'm sure contributed to an environment where unethical research was tolerated and rationalized for other reasons too.

Then the richest 49% will need to decide if the society they live in is worth that, or if they want to leave or otherwise separate.

> Our current politics isn’t even representative of what people want, it is a mind control contest. Whoever can manipulate the population the best wins.

I agree with that, but the solution is not to strip people of rights out of the assumption you know who knows best - that's the playbook of a substantial proportion of brutally oppressive, authoritarian movements who started with a notion of wanting what was "best" only to find out the people they claimed to want the best for had their own ideas of what that meant.

> The whole concept of universal suffrage was probably silly to begin with. There should be a buy-in. If you can’t even pull your life together, why should you be empowered to influence how I live mine?

The whole concept of universal suffrage is based on the concept that if you're not willing to give me a say, you have no legitimacy for demanding any say over my life whatsoever, and so can expect to face years or decades of resistance - however long it takes until you lose. No government will in the long run survive ongoing disenfranchisement, because a proportion of those you oppress will always be prepared to fight for freedom.

> What if I changed my suggestion to only people who pay net taxes get to vote. This would disqualify people living on social security so the comment I was replying to would get their wish.

Property requirement by proxy. Time for an armed revolution.

> Also, why is is somehow less radical to want to disenfranchise the elderly?

It's only marginally so as long as the proposal you replied to was vague on the extent of it, proposing to weight the value of the vote somehow based on the time they'd have to live with the consequences. That could be taken to outright disenfranchise the oldest, or slightly skewing it. Had they come out with something firmer, and you hadn't proposed something very direct with clear parallels to past real-life disenfranchisement they might have been the focus of the same level of opposition instead of you.

To be very clear, I think any disenfranchisement is unjustified. As it is, the US, and the UK where I live, can hardly be considered democracies given their horrible electoral systems have a similar effect for anyone who disagrees with the main options, but at least they don't go so far as to openly deprive any significant competent population group the vote (though I do consider the disenfranchisement of portions of convicted felons to be blatantly undemocratic and unjustified as well).
Me? I lost a finger in the great key-binding wars of the late 80s. Like I said... if you make it to your deathbed with all 9 fingers, you're not trying hard enough.
I think everyone commenting missed my point that casually talking about disenfranchising the elderly is horrific when you just substitute in some other less popular criteria.
I can say Pi = 3 and be accurate but not precise.

I can say Pi = 3.0000004 and be precise but not accurate.

But that's not where the confusion comes from. It comes from measuring equipment.

Example, if I have a scale that is sensitive enough to give several decimals of precision, it is very difficult to calibrate it so it is accurate.

Anyone who owns a gram scale knows you basically have to recalibrate it after every measurement. It will gladly give you many decimals of precision that is just wrong.

As we in Germany close the last plants, our neighborhood plan new nuclear power plants. So, in terms of safety, a lost game.

In terms of energy, I'm not sure if it's lost. We still can buy and import electric power offered by neighbour countries. But what if they fail to produce the amount needed for themselves, like in summer when cooling is difficult.. we then have gas. Gas is expensive.
