Why would that require communism or a revolution? The American state already gives tax breaks and/or funding to charities, research organisations, public messaging initiatives, school systems, public services etc... there's a huge range of options that involve tweaking the rules of current systems before even getting anywhere near needing to change the entire political system.

Any free service held up by fundraising will eventually run out of money and end that service. People forget the dozens of photo and video hosting sites that all went under. Photobucket is a big one. Eventually the money has to dry up, and services like Cloudflare wont be free unless they turn a big profit.
Yes you’re right, I can’t say from that side.

What I can say is it has happened here for a long time, and no one questioned as they were also in control of the media. Just until recently it became widely known the 20+ years of smoke of “fight against drugs”.
Maybe over there is different, or maybe is not a big of a deal, as, even if there is a lot of money in drugs, there is orders of magnitude more money in big tech, and also from a cleaner origin, so who knows.
Ketamine mostly likely doesn't help depression because of being a psychadelic, but rather it's a coincidence that it's a psychadelic. This is much like SSRIs, which also seem to only work as antidepressants as a side effect, not because of messing with serotonin.
After suffering through the APC and TrippLite crap, I bought a Falcon SSG1.5K UPS a few years ago for my animation workstation and network stuff. It has been fantastic. It does have a fan but it isn't noticeably loud.

I bought it because the late writer Jerry Pournelle told me to.

What a ridiculous criticism of a valid article with a lot of facts.

I have donated to Wikipedia several times and feel violated now. They might have not lied outright but acting as if you’re a poor Non profit when you are most definitely not poor is outrageous. I don’t know if Jimmy Wales is part of this entire charade but this is exactly what you expect to happen when you employ a CEO who charges north of half a mill to run a non profit - their intention is to just increase their coffers with no clear plan on WHAT they are going to use it.

There might have been a time when the banner was genuine and a donation from the user was needed to plan their budget a year in the future, but if they’re showing the same banner now after making hundreds of millions (and if this article is accurate, willfully hiding it as much as legally possible) they’re disgusting. I feel less disgust interacting with entities like apple and google, at the least their intentions seem far more honest than this bs.
Sorry for the extremely late reply! I do actually mean Ebay Kleinanzeigen. I don't know when they added it, but it's called "Sicher bezahlen".
They target also include NATO members: "France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway"
So the gist seems to be when people are willing to donate to you dont raise cash. Instead wait for god knows what situation in this unpredictable world to strike and then start your fund raising.

The only reason Fuckerberg or Ellison or Murdoch or Google dont already own Wikipedia is Wikipedia has enough cash to tell them to fuck off. Not to mention dealing with all kinds of orgs, govt beauracrats, politicans all over the globe exerting pressures.

In this world if you dont have Financial Independence what path you chart out will never be under your control.

This article would have been useful if there were suggestions about how to go about fund raising better.

I think it would be fair to say that any Democracy past a certain size (and that size is probably not going to be much bigger than a medium sized city) is going to have parts of it that will not be exposed to public scrutiny and operate independently of the public will.

I'm pretty sure the majority of Danes would be against helping the U.S spy on other EU nations. But it was done because the country was not asked. There are of course other things that the government wants to do that they are prevented from by popular sentiment.

He also mentioned the material itself is much more expensive.
Let’s be clear, the article does mention the size of the org and some salaries, but it’s clear it’s main premise is the outrageous amount of money they have already amassed and still hiding it in their messaging to make more. It doesn’t matter if they have big plans, the way they ask for money doesn’t say that it says they can’t survive without my 10 bucks which is disgusting. I’d rather be shown ads than this.

Am I the only person not troubled by autonomous weapons?

I’m more troubled by the way the military turns people into order following machines (an extreme exaggeration), than the fact that it had actual machines that follow orders.

As long as there’s a clear chain of command (responsibility and accountability), it’s not that different.

It will probably be like stock trading algorithms: a slightly more good than bad will be produced (more stable markets), but not a huge game changer.
They currently don't hire any moderators.

According to the article, they got 142 million in donations so far this fiscal year. Assuming they spent that entirely on hiring editors, had no other expenses (including no other fundraising expenses), had no server costs, etc they could hire 4500 people at min wage. According to https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikipedia.org/contributing/... there's been 39 thousand editors who have made 5+ edits last month to just english wikipedia [not counting other languages] (Unfortunately I could not find any stats for overall active editors from all languages, nor could I find any stats for "very" active editors). That stat isn't very good for the argument I'm trying to make, but I suspect there's in the neighbourhood of 4500 existing editors/moderators who treat it as effectively a full time job, once you combine all the languages. Thus I doubt this budget would be sufficient to hire the existing editors, let alone hire more.
vices and weaknesses -such as fast food, lottery and tax-free religions?

pushers -like the pharmaceutical industry? Pimps like the folks in Hollywood who make money off of titillation (and more -see Harvey Weinstein for one example) and goons such as the ones who raid travellers of cash in the name of "civil forfeiture"(eg https://www.huffpost.com/entry/civil-asset-forfeiture-cash-m...? )

The difference is becoming less profound than you may perhaps be aware of. Ask yourself -why do the police still commit violent abuses even with body cams and the bad publicity? The answer is -because it doesn't matter, because they can. That is different from "goons" how?

They usually call it the "invisible hand". If servicibility is not a feature, then it is an implementation detail. The other positive sides of a design will be picked by competitors while servicibility will be an additional feature. The first generation of bad products will be displaced after a few years by a new generation of products that will be cheaper to own and will be as good as the unservicible ones.

I wasn't talking about the €35 "Classic" knives from Victorinox (e.g.: [0]). They're serially produced stamped steel blades.

I'm talking about Grand Maitre series [1], which are "Made in Germany under supervision of Victorinox" and are forged steel. They're nowhere near €35. I have a 15cm Grand Maitre Carving/Utility knife, and that thing's sharpness is scaring me sometimes. It's virtually equal with another handmade, hand forged set I have, and both blades hold their edges extraordinarily well.

OTOH, America's test kitchen has found that these €35 Classic knives has some extraordinary steel for their price, under an electron microscope. I was unable to find the exact video, sorry for that.

Aren't you worried about the fan stalling and catching fire?
I mean the parent suggested not relying on charity. School systems are essentially an arm of the government. I just don't see what the options are for something like wikipedia (Or even say something like a critical open source project like openssl) that doesn't involve relying on charity or advertisments, short of a major change to how our society is structured.

This isn't about keeping up public interest, this is about sports "reporters" protecting what is left of their control over the narrative. Athletes already generate way more public interest in their sport by engaging directly with fans. They don't need traditional outlets like Sports Illustrated or ESPN in order to build a brand / promote their sport, so they don't feel like they need to put up with the bullshit aspects of sports media... like post game interviews where everyone is just trying to bait them into a juicy quote.

And honestly as a fan, good riddance. Most of these "reporters" are doing little more than trying to manufacture controversy.
What's your idea of "survival"? Wikipedia has already been bleeding editors for a long time as the overall climate on the Web has shifted away from openness and towards profit-seeking and mindless consumption. They portray themselves as "essential infrastructure in the ecosystem of free knowledge" which looks like a factual and fair assessment to me. This is what must survive for the foreseeable future. It's not just about hosting a bunch of articles.

Remember WannaCry? 67% of infected PCs ran Windows 7, the rest mostly ran Windows XP: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3197762/wannacry-was-a-...

Windows 10 was technically vulnerable, but since Windows 10 has drastically better security features, from a defense-in-depth standpoint, having Windows 10 more or less rendered most computers immune in practice. (Likely, the few 10 machines infected were intentionally crippled by their admins.)

Bear in mind, Windows 7 is an OS from 2009, 12 years ago. It's ancient from a computer security standpoint.

Whether you are personal or corporate, you probably should be running either Windows 10, or choose an alternate operating system entirely like OS X or Linux.

The hosts of All Things Considered regularly use latinx, but at least the last time I heard them use a Hispanic reporter they used the word latino. I don't know if that was a change in policy or if the reporter doesn't like the word themselves.

All Things Considered may be "boring" politically, but they are far from neutral - I don't listen to the other two very often. Easy example - for weeks, if not months, they called what was going on at the border "Trumps Family (sometimes Child) Separation Policy," even though anyone informed knew the very first day that it was not his policy. It wasn't until the story finally started to die down did they used the (at least somewhat) correct phrase "The increase in family separations due to Trump's zero tolerance policy."

Yes, in India a lot of police force acts as extortion agents for whoever is in power. I have some extended family members as officers in police. They told me in every police station there is a policeman whose only job is to collect ransom from local bars, businesses and crime lords. This money is collected all over state and the majority of the cut goes to heads of political party in power. These funds are then used for elections. Everyone gets a cut. The cut depends on which level of bureaucracy you are employed at.
This arbitrage exists because India has a lot of very strict and obscure laws around everything and to not have law interfere you have to pay this ransom. This is also known otherwise as licence raj.
They both rely on advertisements (And reddit gold, which is kind of like a donation).

That's generally been very unpalatable to the people who write wikipedia. Even the mere rumour of something like that being considered resulted in a fork of the spanish wikipedia into Enciclopedia Libre back in 2002.

Well for example, and I'm not advocating for these ideas other than pointing out that they'd be much simpler than changing the structure of society: the Government could either buy, or forcefully take control of, Wikipedia, or they could create a competitor with enough funding to take over. They could do it creating a gov department to run it, or they could set it up as an organisation fully owned by the state. They wouldn't even have to go that far, they could just pass a bill that would send however much money from taxpayers to Wikipedia every year, or as a one-off to create a new taxpayer-funded endowment.

There's lots of changes to society that I think would be good, but "ability for government to decide to spend taxpayer money on a charity like Wikipedia, or to create their own version in-house" isn't exactly lacking from the current system.
The "hardwareification" is also troubling. When there is no human cost for one side to wage war, it becomes a lot more politically palatable because you no longer have family members coming home in boxes.

It's easy to say "Well, the other side are bad dudes who have it coming", but even if they are genuinely bad dudes (and not just politically inconvenient) there's no war without collateral damage (a term invented by the US during Vietnam, when they were doing a lot of it).

Has the ketamine had any effect on your pain?

By the way, I don't think the other commenter was making any assumptions about you - actually just the opposite. Given what you wrote it wasn't clear if you actually suffered from the condition which your doctor prescribed ketamine for or if he made the prescription for nerve-pain knowing it would help you for a different condition. Sometimes doctors do this in order to bypass strict procedures.
If you're referring to tv deals, those networks make money by selling ads against the events, not by covering the storylines. If the latter were the case, I think one would expect the sponsoring networks to negotiate exclusive post game press conference rights?

>nearly all of Wikipedia is written by just 1 percent of its editors

Is this true? I've heard a counter-argument to this in the past that Wikipedia works much like other encyclopedias do, a large number of domain specialists contribute large blocks of text about their respective fields (perhaps in just one edit) and then a core group of "editors" go around adjusting style, adding "[citation needed]" and making it all fit together (many many edits).

Wikipedia in my experience doesn't "take on" anyone. They have a list of sources of large information outlets that are marked, mostly arbitrarily, "reliable". With the media landscape being as skewed as it is (largely reflecting interests of media owners and advertisers, see Herman and Chomsky's propaganda model), Wikipedia has set itself up to reflect those same biases by relying on the same sources.
Pretty much this. HN is still gazillion times better than everything else on the internet. And that is excluding the absolute gold comment from members that were part of those battle stories.

It is also a reason why I dont want to mention or see HN links in mainstream media. Although I think most reporters sort of know this as well and tend to not mention or link to HN as source.

Jesus, was not aware ketamine treatment was this expensive. In the UK, a ketamine clinic [0] administers 0.5mg/kg, so 35mg for a 70kg person. At UK street prices, that’s less than £1 per dose. Presumably ketamine clinics pay less than street prices, since they don’t have to deal with the losses associated with illegal drugs.
