What viewpoints do you feel are underrepresented? Personally I’m not convinced that all viewpoints require “airtime” and I’d prefer not to endure anti-vaxxer, flat earth, creationist, ariosophy, QAnon, or whatever David Icke is raving about today, in the name of “balance”.

When I go to an article about quantum mechanics, I don’t need a section on The Secret because it’s a “viewpoint” that exists. I want a curated experience, not the full hue and cry of the Internet. I also want to avoid undue bias, but that doesn’t mean a total abrogation or editorial policy.

I think the most productive move that folks critical of Wikipedia can make is to create an alternative. It's unfortunate that Jimmy Wales and his clique comport themselves the way they do, because Wikipedia would be much stronger if they didn't.

I find it useful for browsing on subjects that interest me but I don't tend to use it for subjects that are too controversial. At least superficially. And yet given what I know about the biases of Internet denizens I have to wonder how much of what I expose myself to is accurate and not the result of some weird personal biases.

I also consider the citations listed in the footnotes which gives me a bit more confidence than none, I suppose.
The question wasn't about how to determine all truths, only truths about what things are named.

For example, a bridge was constructed in central London named William Pitt bridge, named for the Prime Minister. But people didn't _call_ it "William Pitt Bridge", people called it "Blackfriars Bridge", because they'd always named that part of London "Blackfriars" and that's where the bridge was. Today the replacement bridge is just named "Blackfriars Bridge", nobody bothered writing "William Pitt" and being ignored.

It is still named Blackfriars Bridge to this day, even though the adjacent railway station, named Blackfriars, is actually in the form of a bridge, crossing the same river, if referring to _this_ bridge people call it "Blackfriars Railway Bridge".

But even though consensus is the appropriate tool for figuring out what these bridges are _called_ we certainly shouldn't use it to figure out when they were built - what they're made of - which country they're in and so on.

> GPG, however, does neither.

It also will output to --output even if an MDC validation error occurs at any point, which is pretty insane. But from memory this is actually a larger architectural problem (GPG doesn't appear to buffer anything -- which means that when you tell it to write to --output it doesn't write anywhere else first).

> AEAD, as far as I understand, suffers from a similar, though less severe problem: decryption can fail at any point due to a validation error. You can be certain that anything up to the failure hasn’t been tampered with, but the question of what to do with the partial plaintext remains.

That is also a problem, though it would avoid most attacks where programs don't check GPG error codes (which is what the email vulnerabilities a few months ago were about). The only practical attack is what you've described -- some sort of known-plaintext attack where the message already contains the attack payload as a prefix. Ultimately AEAD (over MDC) is a protection against people accidentally doing the wrong thing when using crypto tools -- because users should not trust any of the decrypted text if the message didn't validate.

If you count by number of people with working proficiency of the language, English has somewhere between 1 and 2 billion speakers, which is probably more than the number of Mandarin speakers. Second language stats are really sketchy, but English is unique for being a language which is among the top native languages and having many more non-native speakers than native speakers.

If you look at the graph that shows motivations for hardcore gamers on men vs. women, there are very obvious design choices that are definitely lying. For Community vs Competition, 62% and 63% are both the same height, while there is a significant difference between the 62% and 61% of community.

For Power and Strategy, both are 61% but Power's 61% is noticeably lower than Strategy's.

The real differences are probably not as defined as this graph makes it seem it is as Community is basically the same but the 1% difference makes the graph look very off.
I've noticed this before too. It has all the real names for these areas that people use, but with so much noise thrown in.

Good, this environmental thing is getting out of control. When banning/taxing straws is the main concern for a political party you know it's not actually about the original issue anymore.
I really miss the web from 10 years ago. It felt so liberating back then. Everything felt so open and genuine. I made so many friends in the early days of the internet. I don't even know how, forums, MSN messengers, games. You'd just add people and talk to them for hours.

Now the internet today seems to be mostly ads, corporate corruption, government censorship, and political outrage. It's a shame. I don't enjoy the internet half as much anymore. Maybe it's more my age or that I'm used to the technology now, but it really feels like we lost something innocent and special about the early days of the internet.

It is great news for the US car industry, as all of the big three are highly dependent upon the sale of trucks, SUVs, and larger cars. Glad to see this the 2012 rules were ridiculously stringent and burdensome and could ultimately put larger vehicles out of the consumers reach. A lot of people's jobs are at stake and the rust belt can't afford much more pain.
Not for me. These rules are a welcome break from overregulation.
> However, we now live in the era where a 3MB payload is considered acceptable, if not the average, to deliver fundamentally text-based web-pages.

The web today is terrible. For general browsing speed, I think the web peaked for me in 2001 or so. I had a 300 MHz PII, connected via 256 kbps SDSL. It flew! (Especially in BeOS.) Now, I have a 2x10-core 3.6 GHz Xeon, connected by 2 gbps fiber. It lags! Text pops in after the page has seemingly loaded, like some circa 1998 3D game. I miss click things because the page reflows after I've lined up what I want to click on. And these days, you can't even disable all that JavaScript garbage, because sites just won't work.

And the terribly disappointing thing is that it's not any better. It's not like Engadget is taking up 375MB of memory (six times what I had in my PII) because its review of the new Surface tablet includes interactive holograms. It's fundamentally just text and pictures, same as 2001. We will look back on this era of the web the way we look back on 1970s cars, with V8s getting 12 miles per gallon making just 130 horsepower.
That may not be nuanced enough for the desired results. Sounds like a lot of these places would like to still provide plentiful cheap power to industrial companies that actually create jobs and generate useful output that stimulates the local economy.

Cache coherency is not the same as memory consistency models. This article is talking about cache coherence, and you are talking about memory consistency.

As an example, both ARM and x86 have coherent caches, but neither guarantees sequential consistency. x86 guarantees (something similar to) TSO, and ARM is way more relaxed than that.
But depending on context, multiple connotations are possible for every euphemism. That's part of their charm in a literary context. But in politics it's the responsibility of the speaker not to be euphemistic, because deliberately trying to be being misunderstood is always a stupid tactic.

"We will bury you" can mean either a) that we will kill you or b) we will outlast you. But either way, we will be alive after your death and present at your burial.

Regardless of which meaning was intended, Khrushchev's decision to bring up the topic of the death of the entire "first world" at the UN was deliberately provocative, so it's hardly a mistranslation to conclude that the US and NATO have just been threatened, no matter how obliquely.
Coal power power for example does not need to cover the deaths directly caused by it's pollution. That's a vast subsidy. Roads revive rather large subsidies from the general funds outside of gas taxes which is another large subsidy, though electric cars revive even larger subsides by not needing to pay for their use.

PS: Look at taxes for Farm use vehicles fuel to get a better picture of the actual 'subsidy' vs 'tax'. The tipping point is very much a subsidy. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employe...

> What is stopping someone else from doing exactly what Jack did?

Well, eventually Jack London ran into Hobo and anti-loitering laws and landed in jail. Jack London then traveled to areas without Hobo laws and anti-loitering laws.

Although, the times were different. Jack London was homeless due to the depression of the 1890s, and the number of Hobos were so large that they grouped together and formed "Hobo Code" and kinda their own society. Ideally, we should never have that huge number of homeless people ever again.

>There's no overall elections right more a kind of election at each level for the one above?

Not at all! The highest positions in terms of the user rights granted would be Admins and Bureaucrats.
The elections for those are the RfA and RfB (requests for Adminship and Bureaucratship respectively).

And contrary to what you might think, anyone with an account is free to nominate themselves, or to chime in on someone else's nomination (to the point that the process can be really hard to go through, as your history will be combed through relentlessly by overzealous users).

Note that those are not traditional elections either, instead of a pure vote, the process is more of a structured discussion to establish a consensus.

Like all places on the internet that grant special roles and privileges, you'll find people hungry for power, but Wikipedia fares pretty well in this respect.
A huge chunk of the American electorate has given up on principles and is now in a sports mentality where the only goal is to beat the opposing team. This has been driven to extremes by eight years of a non-white President from that team. The opposing team is against pollution and favors fuel efficiency, thus they are for pollution and against fuel efficiency. That’s really all there is to it. Look up “rolling coal” for the purest expression of this sentiment.
This immediately reminded me of color choices of the Google's "material design".

I've seen lineworkers use orange covers many times, when working near live wires.

The place where they put these orange sheets in your photo looks like a disconnect switch between the wires on either side of the pole. So the wires coming from the left side of your photo are still live, and the disconnect switch itself is still live. Since they would be working near the disconnect switch (to hang the new wire), they put these insulating orange covers for extra protection.

I believe that's because we reserve shouting as a signal during dire situations. It's kind of like the color red, where we give it an inherent dangerous meaning naturally, but see it enough everyday and your heart will no longer instinctually flutter when exposed to it.

>"The fact there are existing, worse ways to use energy doesn't mean we shouldn't care about Bitcoin."

Its more like you are trying to catch rainwater in a strainer full of holes but are worried about a tiny pinhole in the side. So sure people may actually care about it, it just makes no sense and living your life that way is not a recipe for success.

For 2013 we have the estimate for total energy supply of 157,500 TWh/yr
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_consumption

Lets say bitcoin used 1000 TWh/yr worldwide (~15-30x what is estimated to use now). That'd work out to:

100*1000/157,500 ~ 0.63 %

Currently its more like 0.02-0.04%. As someone else posted, just christmas lights in the US alone is ~6 TWh/yr (~.004%).

EDIT:
That energy supply number is actually TPES, which ignores efficiency:

"Closely related to energy consumption is the concept of total primary energy supply (TPES), which - on a global level - is the sum of energy production minus storage changes. Since changes of energy storage over the year are minor, TPES values can be used as an estimator for energy consumption. However, TPES ignores conversion efficiency, overstating forms of energy with poor conversion efficiency (e.g. coal, gas and nuclear) and understating forms already accounted for in converted forms (e.g. photovoltaic or hydroelectricity)."

I suspect that if mining encourages even tiny innovations in power plant and grid efficiency it will have a net negative effect on energy waste. Apparently its that about 65% is lost due to powerplant, and 10% due to transmission/distribution, for ~75% total:

I used to pick my general news from a financial newspaper. Why? Because they didn't care. As far as they were concerned, non-financial news were there only for their readers to have the most basic understanding of the main topics and not make fools of themselves. "There was this protest, so many people showed up, and these were their central demands", done.

I don't doubt that a neutral article about anything is possible. The problem is removing from the loop those who care deeply about it.
