> Wikipedia's rules on notability and article length prevent it from growing infinitely (in theory).

I take your point, but I would claim that Wikipedia is no where near the maximimum size set by the notability criterion. You can just look at the incredible depth it has on some niche topics like anime that happen to be of interest to the editor demographic (which do strain the notability criterion) and imagine that level of thoroughness on lots of other stuff like (e.g., "photobiology" is a weak page that came up hitting the random-article button).

> so really the flat number of active editors shows that the number of editors actively engaged in the research and writing of entries has probably actually declined significantly since 2007.

Yea, maybe, although improvements in automated maintenance tools may mean that a fixed or even decreasing number of editors could be maintaining the growing encyclopedia.
As others have said, I won't support a company that goes directly against my personal ethics. I also hold to a bare minimum that the product we product has to have a net positive benefit on society. It doesn't need to be world changing, but as a few examples, I'm happy to work in health care and education, but do not work in social media or on advertising or sales-focused apps.

Currently, my SaaS is focused on education, so have one added layer of ethics, which is that our pricing has to save money for the school systems. I'm fine being a for-profit company whose profits come from bringing home a portion of the savings our tools bring to school districts. But I will be out the door if the PTB increase pricing so that our profits take the entire savings and then some, so we start taking dollars away from students.

The article doesn't mention anything about what the researchers controlled for. Some other explanations that fit the data:

1. Parents who take good care of their children in other ways also tend to read to their children (perhaps because they're conscientious and have read other research that says reading helps brain development, so they read to their kids). It's actually the "take good care of their children in other ways" that makes the difference, and reading just correlates.

2. There is a shared genetic factor between parent and child. Parents with this factor are more likely to read to their children. Children with this factor score better on literacy tests. Any factor that affects intelligence or personality would fit the bill.

3. Reading doesn't affect language skills, but they are instead caused by other environmental or genetic factors. Children who have factors that lead to good language ability enjoy hearing stories, and their caregivers adapt by reading to them more. Children without those factors react poorly to being read to, so their caregivers read to them less.

A randomized controlled trial would tell us much more about whether reading actually causes any later outcomes.
I think media widely supports the middle grounds that both Republicans and democrats occupy:

Wholeheartedly support the MIC.

Small stories get through here and there. But no media companies are giving the ruling class a hard time about these things. Though They're happy to spend hours every day shitting on trump. Might that just be a distraction from these dire issues we can track by the coffins behind them

Why are you comparing the state of nuclear energy today with the potential scientific breakthroughs of renewable energy in the future?

This may be difficult to grasp. But likely where you are seeing this feature is in a corporate setting where you are the "end user", not the paying customer. The corporate entity that is making use of this feature is who you should be protesting the use to, not Microsoft.

Why do truckers have GPS jammers?
The issue at hand is how you define "subject to US law." It's unclear so far what kind of boundaries you can put around that because in the general case, this is discussing what the US Government can prevent you from doing.

So for example if a Chinese citizen is arrested in Beijing by the Chinese Police for protesting in Tienanmen square, nobody would seriously claim that the US Constitution protects their speech. - So that covers the case where there is no protection from the US Constitution because the US doesn't have jurisdiction there.

How about an example where a Bolivian Citizen starts a clinic in Bolivia and then shares all of their patient's data with anyone who wants it within the borders of Bolivia. That is a clear breach of HIPAA rules but again because the US does not have jurisdiction, then nobody would seriously claim that the US has anything to say about this situation.

Lastly, assume the case where a Norwegian Citizen sitting in Oslo accesses bank accounts of US citizens and transfers money to his account that is in Switzerland without their consent. What crimes is this person committing and who has jurisdiction to enforce them?

That is unclear, but I think it comes down to how reciprocal non-US countries are when it comes to what laws should be enforced by one country and the citizens of another.

Ah the piper arrow. Fond memories of many trips around florida and caribbean in that plane as a kid.

It was my job to "help" with the navigation, using a paper chart and VOR/NDB steam gauge instruments. Dad was able to teach 10yo me how to do this stuff, but it was easy to confuse from/to or think you are tuned to station x when actually you are on Y, etc. Particularly night VFR was hard to be sure you were exactly where you thought you were. We did not fly over open water at night.

Later we got a primitive GPS, no maps just waypoints and lat/lng. That thing was so much easier to use it was night and day. Just dial in a 3 letter code for your airfield, and you get range,bearing,eta.

GPS is a huge improvement to safety and convince, but if it goes out a night or in bad weather there are gonna be some problems.
I think this grammatically puts the agency on the wrong people. It's not that you have to always be signaling, it's that other people are always judging you and interpreting everything you do.

A valuable part of the ADS-B out mandate is that planes even as small as mine (a.k.a. tiny) can cheaply (<200$US) pick up ADS-B in and display it on a consumer tablet. My private airplanes now have pseudo radar. Not every airplane in the air is broadcasting, but most are. This is a huge safety win. Almost without exception I'll see airplanes on my tablet long before I have visual on them.
Can someone explain why /this/ level of isolation is necessary?

I understand that comparison of mortality rates is difficult, so this does seem "more deadly" than the flu, but likely we have no idea of the actual number of people with it, both for reporting reasons and because many people may just have minor symptoms.

But, if we use SARS as a comparison which also had this level of pandemic fear+isolation (and was way way worse handled in China at the beginning) I think final stats were like 1000 deaths worldwide. Compare that to what, over 2k deaths in just the US every year from the flu?

I'm not saying we shouldn't be concerned (it is new and unknown, and seems to have a higher mortality rate than other viruses) but it seems this level of treatment (and entire city-wide lockdowns in China right now) is like Ebola level precautions for what seems like a difficult but fairly standard level respiratory virus?

Honestly curious here from medical professionals/epidemiologists..

I am 32, I am great at making friends, have a wealth of friends all around the country, and have never been so devastatingly lonely, but the problem is economic, not cultural.

I worked in video production throughout my 20s. I am technically inclined and gravitated to post production. I was good at it and had a great reputation. The constant churn of new technology was fun for me. The problem was the industry turning to hiring feeelancers for every position except management. It is no longer a reliable way to make a living. I never had an interview without getting the job, but the rates I needed were no longer available, and it was increasingly rare that clients wanted quality work.

I tried changing careers before things got too bad, but my whole life and reputation were build around my existing career. I couldn’t pull it off in time. Rents in the west-coast city I lived in skyrocketed and the apartment building I lived in for 8 years was bought by some foreign investors. I tried to hang on but about 6 months was all I could do after that.

Still paying off my own student debt, and with so many other friends paying off useless degrees, I opted against going back to school so I am now living with my parents in a small midwest town studying web development while working a part-time minimum wage job. It feels completely unreal. I have been writing scripts for video post-production for years, so I had a head start at least.

Among my friends, I am hardly alone. Those who chose MBAs or a handful of other careers (like web development) are doing great and the rest of us are struggling with less and less control over our lives. This is still an anecdote but my point is this is much less about loneliness and more about precarity.

That does look a busy junction but I was thinking more like when motorways cross.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Stansted+CM24+8JT/@51.8715...

This example is by no means the worse in the UK -- far from it -- but it does illustrate how cars can be going round at high speeds even when it's not really safe to.

It amazes me there aren't any fatalities on these kinds of junctions because it's a horrible mix of speed, heavy traffic, lighter and heavier vehicles (eg you get plenty of lorries on there too) and clueless drivers. A real bad recipe. But it might just be my lack of faith in other drivers that makes me nervous on those junctions rather than them being inherently unsafe.
It doesn't look like a robot in the sense that it cannot move or manipulate anything. It looks more like a conventional nursing terminal station fitted with a video camera for remotely viewing the patient. There doesn't even seem to be an input device for the patient to use other than voice?
Well some stealth is base on spoofing part of a radar return. Absorb as much of the incoming radar as possible and alter the reflection using a phased array. So its not impossible just more expensive.

According to the crew on the USS Zumwalt they can make a 600' ship look as large as a cruise ship or as small as a fishing vessel. This ship is covered in radar absorbent materials and has a giant phased array to accomplish this.
This take is a non-starter for these companies, but I'll say it: these problems come from the fact that these online services have massive reach and scale. These systems are designed to facilitate monetizing off of low-cost worldwide content creation and distribution. You get the good and the bad with that. Without changing that core goal, I feel any effort at "content moderation" is just PR lip service not actually done in good faith.

if its not spent, its saved somewhere. Very few people put substantial amounts of cash in their mattress. Most goes in the bank, which helps set the rate if interest rates for loans. So, even unspent money goes somewhere and gets spent. Still not a recession.
Lead with the benefits. Also put "free" in front of whatever you are selling. Whenever you run a google trends report, compare against the term "free". Every time I do it, it dwarfs whatever the next term is.

"Free file upload PaaS" -> Website | Mobile

Also, with 50K spend, I would put ad arbitrage in front of my product. At the very least, I'm breaking even and have all that traffic. I would tag it, to get user context, since google gives intent, and work in a suite of apps in my portfolio. Swap out the conversion opportunity. Show another ad, or a newsletter signup, or a straight out credit card form, and let it run going for a 40% ROI.

Wow, if I had the opportunity for 50K. Sad that you squandered it.

Feral bulls, also known as "micky's" in Australia, run wild much more than most people know. Surely there's a cave, deep in the woods, with many boars and hogs running around.

One day, the bull sniffs out the scene, and starts goring everything in site. All the squealing is going to wake up the bear, who's going to emerge from his cave, all angry.

The bear's going to take two looks around, take a giant dump on everything and just shrug. Then it will just go back to the cave with a few hogs under his paws and one in his mouth.

*all radar.

Certainly around airports radar will be kept, but there are a few (remote?) places where aging infrastructure will not be replaced.

On the plus side, there are areas that had no coverage (Gulf of Mexico) which now get traffic information from receivers that are easier to run than radar towers.
