Print January 16, 2008 Department of Homeland Security Radically Understates Cost to Taxpayers A persistent criticism of the Real ID Act since its enactment in 2005 has been the charge that the law is a massive unfunded mandate. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initially estimated that nationwide implementation would cost over $23 billion, roughly in line with estimates from independent groups like the National Governors Association and National Conference of State Legislators. In its final regulations for implementation, published January 11, 2008, DHS significantly scaled back its cost estimate, from $23 billion to $9.9 billion. The new estimate is broken down roughly as follows: Defines away 25% of the problem. Ignores the National ID Database. Ignores Cost of Building Verification Systems. Ignores the Cost of Background Checks.

Reflections of a Newsosaur Musings (and occasional urgent warnings) of a veteran media executive, who fears our news-gathering companies are stumbling to extinction Wednesday, March 28, 2007 Fuzzy math With so many members of the American Society of Newspaper Editors having majored in journalism, it is understandable that they may not be enormously proficient at math. But even a fellow journalism major, like me, can see that the ASNE’s 2007 newsroom census doesn’t add up. After more than a year of relentless staff cutting throughout the newspaper industry, the ASNE is reporting that the total headcount in America’s newsrooms rose 4% in the last 12 months to reach a record . How could that be? The answer, of course, is that the ASNE has changed the way it counts noses. And its new math is as confusing as the old New Math was. The surprising surge in newsroom staffing results, in part, from the ASNE's decision for the first time to include “full-time” online journalists in its annual census, which is a good (and overdue) thing. The society says 2,000 of the 57,000 jobs are those of staffers who work exclusively at online tasks. If you back the 2,000 dedicated onliners out of the 2007 staffing total, however, you still get 55,000 newsroom jobs, which is not only 0.4% higher than last year’s total but also higher than any staff level since the economic cataclysm of 2001. That number makes no sense, given all the downsizing that has been going down.

Synaptic The Peltarion Blog Subscribe via RSS Home About Oct/06 Fuzzy Math, Part 1, The Theory If you are interested in a very flexible rule-based system and want it to be easily integrated with for instance adaptive systems, then fuzzy logic provides a good solution. So what is fuzzy logic? Take a look at the first sentence in this text. Expressions like "very flexible", "easily integrated" and "good solution" were used. This type of vague expressions are characteristic of the way we humans communicate through language and as such is an integral part of our thinking process. This contrasts sharply with the traditional Boolean logic of computer programming. Fuzzy logic bridges the gap between them, providing a framework that allows you to numerically encode linguistic expressions and through that gives you a flexible rule-based system. This is the first part of a two-part tutorial and will cover the basic fuzzy logic theory. The second part will be more practical and deal with fuzzy logic in Synapse and the creation of hybrid fuzzy-adaptive systems. 0 or 1?

Home • The White House Blog Subscribe The White House Blog Twisted Logic and Fuzzy Math Posted by Dan Pfeiffer on January 15, 2010 at 03:00 PM EDT This morning we woke up to a confusing contradiction. Banking executives claiming that they simply can't afford to pay back taxpayers for their sacrifice in saving the industry while also increasing lending: "The money to be collected is capital being pulled out of the banking system that could support ten times the amount in new lending. That's because $1 in capital supports $10 or more in lending. So the tax will pull not $90 billion in lending capacity out of the banking system, but nearly $1 trillion in potential lending." On the same day, the front page of the Wall Street Journal blared " Banks Set for Record Pay ," some $145 billion in bonuses and compensation at the very same firms. Are we missing something? Just to recap: But now Wall Street executives and their special interest lobbyists have changed their tune: Now they say they won't be able to lend because they might have to pay the American people back for saving the financial sector from ruin.

A FairVote Innovative Analysis Fact in the Spotlight: In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote by a small margin, but lost the Electoral College vote. Gore"s margin of victory in the popular vote was 0.52%, but Bush"s Electoral College margin of victory was 0.93%. Had a congressional district allocation been in place, Bush"s electoral vote margin of victory would have been 7.06%, eight times an already distorted result. (from FairVote"s new Wrong-Way Reforms for Allocating Electoral College Votes There are Republicans in California who are tired of being voiceless in presidential elections. Totally understandable. Likewise, there are Democrats in North Carolina who think they should have a chance to be heard as well. Who can blame them? In both states (in fact, in most states) the Electoral College renders a huge portion of their electorates utterly mute and irrelevant. To combat this, some Republicans in California and Democrats in North Carolina want to see their states" electoral votes awarded by congressional district rather than by winner-take-all. That way, the Golden State"s GOP can presumably deliver a score of electoral votes to their party"s nominee, and Democrats of the Old North can give five for their team otherwise have none. That"s fair, right?
