What is the price of anarchy?Technically,in transportation engineering,the price of anarchy describes the difference between what happens when every driver selfishly picks the fastest route and what the socially optimal traffic outcome would be.In the pre-mobile-app days,drivers'selfishness was limited by their knowledge of the road network.In those conditions,both simulation and real-world experience showed that most people stuck to the freeways and arterial roads.Sure,there were always people who knew the crazy,back-road route but the bulk of people just stuck to the routes that transportation planners had designated as the preferred way to get from a to B But a new body of research at the University of California's Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that the reality is far more complicated.In some scenarios,traffic-beating apps might work for an individual,but make congestion worse overall.And autonomous vehicles,touted as an answer to traffic streets,could deepen the problem This problem has been vastly overlooked,"Alexandre Bayen,the director of UC Berkeley,'s Institute of Transportation Studies,told me.It is just the beginning of something that is gonna be much worse.The situation then gets much worse because hundreds of people just like you want to go on the side streets,which were never designed to handle the traffic,Bayen says."So,now,in addition to congesting the freeway,you've also congested the side streets and the intersections While it's clear that these apps can put stress on local side streets,we still don't know what effect they may have on highways,or for traffic systems as a whole.This is an open problem,said Bayen Hence,we need to be very cautious in our conclusions They re building on pioneering work by researchers like Hani Mahmassani into the role of real-time information in shaping traffic conditions.In 1991,Mahmassani challenged what he took to be"possible misconceptions that information will automatically lead to improvements in traffic conditions.He was not alone.That same year,other researchers noted that information can cause drivers to change their departure times in such a way as to exacerbate congestion Nonetheless,most of this early work showed that when the percentage of drivers with access to in formation was low there was a major benefit for better-informed drivers.So,in the early days of Waze and Google Maps and automated routing at UPS,many individuals did experience substantial benefits rom these applications.The roads,as a whole,were probably also flowing better.Bayen does,in fact,have a suggestion for improving these apps,but the companies might not like it.He thinks the apps should spread out drivers on different routes intentionally,which would require collaboration among the mapping apps.Given the cutthroat nature of competition in Silicon valley thats a tough sell but it might help bring down the price of anarchy

A German law requiring social media companies like Facebook and Twitter to quickly remove hate speech from their sites is set to be revised following criticism that too much online content is being blocked,according to officials The law.Which came into full force on Jan.I,is the most ambitious effort by a western democracy to control what appears on social media.It aims to ensure Germanys tough prohibitions against hate speech,including pro-Nazi ideology,are enforced online by requiring sites to remove banned content within 24 hours or face fines of up to 50 million euros（$62 million）.The law,called NetzDG for short,is an international test case and how it plays out is being closely watched by other countries considering similar measures German politicians forming a new government told Reuters they want to add an amendment to help web users get incorrectly deleted material restored online.The lawmakers are also pushing for social media firms to set up an independent body to review and respond to reports of offensive content from the public,rather than the individual companies doing that themselves.Such a system,similar to how video games are policed in germany,could allow a more considered approach to complex decisions aboutwhether to block content,legal experts say The proposed changes follow widespread criticism from opponents of the law,including free speech campaigners and the Association of German Journalists,who say the threat of hefty fines is prompting internet firms to err on the side of caution and block more content than is necessary.They point to several high-profile cases,including when a satirical magazine's Twitter account was blocked after it parodied anti-Muslim comments Facebook,which says it has 1,200 people in Germany working on reviewing posts out of 14,000 globally responsible for moderating content and account security,said it was not pursuing a strategy to delete more than necessary"."People think deleting illegal content is easy but it's not,"said Richard Allan,Facebooks vice president for EMEA public policy."Facebook reviews every NetzDG report carefully and with legal expertise,where appropriate.When our legal experts advise us,we follow their assessment so we can meet our obligations under the law,Twitter declined to comment on how it is implementing the law,while Google's You Tube said it would continue to invest heavily in staff and technology to comply with NetzDG Among other countries considering similar measures,France is looking at rules to block"fake news Britain is seeking to stop online harassment of politicians and Japan is looking to restrict suicidal posts after a suspected serial killer found his victims by trawling Twitter

What is the price of anarchy?Technically,in transportation engineering,the price of anarchy describes the difference between what happens when every driver selfishly picks the fastest route and what the socially optimal traffic outcome would be.In the pre-mobile-app days,drivers'selfishness was limited by their knowledge of the road network.In those conditions,both simulation and real-world experience showed that most people stuck to the freeways and arterial roads.Sure,there were always people who knew the crazy,back-road route but the bulk of people just stuck to the routes that transportation planners had designated as the preferred way to get from a to B But a new body of research at the University of California's Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that the reality is far more complicated.In some scenarios,traffic-beating apps might work for an individual,but make congestion worse overall.And autonomous vehicles,touted as an answer to traffic streets,could deepen the problem This problem has been vastly overlooked,"Alexandre Bayen,the director of UC Berkeley,'s Institute of Transportation Studies,told me.It is just the beginning of something that is gonna be much worse.The situation then gets much worse because hundreds of people just like you want to go on the side streets,which were never designed to handle the traffic,Bayen says."So,now,in addition to congesting the freeway,you've also congested the side streets and the intersections While it's clear that these apps can put stress on local side streets,we still don't know what effect they may have on highways,or for traffic systems as a whole.This is an open problem,said Bayen Hence,we need to be very cautious in our conclusions They re building on pioneering work by researchers like Hani Mahmassani into the role of real-time information in shaping traffic conditions.In 1991,Mahmassani challenged what he took to be"possible misconceptions that information will automatically lead to improvements in traffic conditions.He was not alone.That same year,other researchers noted that information can cause drivers to change their departure times in such a way as to exacerbate congestion Nonetheless,most of this early work showed that when the percentage of drivers with access to in formation was low there was a major benefit for better-informed drivers.So,in the early days of Waze and Google Maps and automated routing at UPS,many individuals did experience substantial benefits rom these applications.The roads,as a whole,were probably also flowing better.Bayen does,in fact,have a suggestion for improving these apps,but the companies might not like it.He thinks the apps should spread out drivers on different routes intentionally,which would require collaboration among the mapping apps.Given the cutthroat nature of competition in Silicon valley thats a tough sell but it might help bring down the price of anarchy

The American healthcare system has a unique problem with paperwork.The sheer number of participants-physicians,hospitals,clinics,insurance companies,patients--makes settling payments complicated,time-consuming and really expensive.The share of U.S.healthcare spending devoted to administrative costs is roughly three times what it is in other affluent countries.And it's a major reason the U.S.spends twice as much on healthcare.Some health clinics employ more clerks than care providers--not just to generate invoices but to send along the patient information insurers need to approve treatments,to dispute insurer decisions denying payment,to fix mistakes,to handle patients'questions,and on and on.For every I billion in revenue,the healthcare system employs the equivalent of 770 full-time people to settle the bills.That's almost eight times more than other industries.And doctors have to spend inordinate time dealing with red tape.Of course,if the U.S.were to magically switch to a single-payer healthcare system,these expenses would fall dramatically.The government would simply determine prices and write checks without dispute,as Medicare does for its direct beneficiaries.But such a change is neither realistic nor desirable in a country where half the population has employer-sponsored insurance.That said,it's still possible to trim administrative costs within the existing system.The best way to do so is for providers and insurers to standardize their billing practices and modernize their computer systems he federal government has long pushed for such efficiency.A 1996 law set some preliminary standards for the electronic processing of claims,payments and other transactions.But they weren't nearly enough,and insurers could still complicate invoices by requesting additional patient data.The HITECH Act of 2009 and the Affordable Care Act of 2010 gave providers further incentives to adopt electronic records and make them more uniform.Yet to a large extent,insurance companies continue to maintain distinct billing codes and torms,and providers still use separate computer systems for medical records and billing-making it im possible to automate claims processing.In this,healthcare stands apart from almost every other industry.Think of the way banks,for example,have standardized their operations to enable all customers to use the same ATMs and credit-card readers.The federal government needs to keep pushing for standardized electronic health systems,and also to change how healthcare prices are set.Bundled care and other alternatives to the fee-for-service model could greatly streamline billing.Patients have increasing cause to demand such change.With premiums,co-pays and deductibles rising,U.S.consumers now pay more for their health care than their employers do.Administrative inefficiency adds another layer of needless expense.Billing shouldn't have to be so complicated,or costly
