Resolved
YES

The NYTimes newsletter "DealBook" just published an article that erroneously compares polling numbers to betting odds. It now includes a correction that is, incredibly, also wrong while also not fixing the original error, inaccurately describing how prediction markets work. See this tweet for a reasonable summary:

This market resolves YES if they update the article again in the relevant sections, whether that's an unacknowledged ninja edit or another formal correction. It resolves YES regardless of whether the correction is yet another mistake.

Otherwise, it resolves NO at market close.

The silly "correction" around prediction markets is still around, but the ninja edit is enough to resolve.

@SemioticRivalry you're welcome for not grabbing your limit order before resolving lol
