Well the headline is about people's claims that they don't eat meat, not about whether that claim matches your definition of what a vegetarian is.

Similarly there are cultural and possibly generational differences to these things. In the US people seem to use a very strict definition, but I have lived in places where a meal without meat in it is considered vegetarian, even if it contains animal products like lard. These people might not be vegetarian according to your standards, but if they consider themselves to be how should they answer the question on a survey?

Plus I mean, it is ok. It is. If someone asks me I will tell them I don't smoke because my identity is as a nonsmoker, even though I had a cigarette a few months ago. Individuals could reject my claim based on their view of what that cigarette means, but that doesn't make me wrong to make the claim or identify in this way.

Curious what those 3 times would be? I am, of course, well aware of the atrocious self-brain drain after '33.

Other than that, most scholars would disagree: the treatment of Germany after WWI (notably no destruction due to the war, Germany capitulated before the war reached German borders) in Versailles is what made Hitler's rise possible in the first place.

Rebuilding (Marshall plan) rather than destroying (Morgenthau plan) made Germany what it is today after WWII. Japan shows that one could have skipped the whole 2nd act in Europe: Japan wasn't destroyed at all, but rebuilt after WWII, and seized to be a threat to the world.

I dont see how this is less trustful that the official ukranian side of the story ("ukranian officials say ..." in that article in guardian) reported by the Western media.

It is a fact that ukranian forces are positioning themselves in the cities so I won't be surprised they did that to get a tactical advantage.

First, announce that former US President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania will be traveling to the region to deescalate. As Putin’s only real peer, Trump can sell a great peace.

Second, China is between two belligerent nuclear powers and yet doesn’t show the same outward anxieties as some NATO members. Instead, something about the island of Taiwan preoccupies China. Taiwan must be into something. Replace Russia on the UN Security Council with Taiwan.

Third, people murmur about the amount of money extracted and stashed in the Caribbean. Take any balance above, say, 1mm usd and replace it with a peace bond that can only be cashed, in person, under a DEFCON zero.

You speak in vague generalizations about bad things you have seen. Since Wikipedia preserves all history, it should be no problem for you, then, to provide links to these things, would it?
Agreed. I was recently dating someone who introduced and held herself out as a vegetarian. Our first date: sushi. She ate oodles of meat. Subsequent meals included lots of bacon (‘I don’t eat it that often’) and steak, occasionally. Really, she just didn’t like chicken. I know loads of people that fit this mold.

Quit making assumptions. I live in the West, I am against the Russian invasion and I want to see Putin hanging upside down on the Red Square.

Where in my comment am I blaming anyone? Tone down the paranoia.

Russia invaded, the West can't help Ukraine without causing WW3, so they're by sending all they can to the Ukrainian people, praying they win and Putin kills himself or someone does it for him. This is called a proxy war. I can understand it might be a bit hard to categorize as such, but there is no blame anywhere.
Ask HN: Why are iOS apps so huge and is there anything the end user can do?
Running out of space on my iPhone, I'm looking for ways to clean up. My app list frustrates me:

- Every Google app is > 150 MB. Probably all of the Google libraries are included in every app.
- Two banking apps with identical functionality: one is 163 MB, the other is 20 MB. How did the (better) bank efficiently squeeze all the functionality into their app that the bank required 163 MB to do?
- Hugely bloated apps like Twitter are nothing but web shells and occupy 300 MB plus data/cache.

I realize that this is like shaking my fist at clouds, but what can we do? Is this simply lazy app development, including too many libraries or debug symbols?

Someone will say, "upgrade your phone." Yes, this is what Apple would like me to do, ideally every year. I have a different mentality about the longevity of electronics and e-waste. The only thing that would be driving my upgrade at this point is unnecessarily bloated apps.
For sure! All the files of the app will be editable in the code editor allowing for powerful customization. The goal is to make building data apps quick and easy, but without compromising powerful editing features for users that are comfortable with coding.

Articles on conflicts are usually shockingly well written. I spend a lot of time reading them, at least in part for entertainment. The one on the Congo Crisis is fantastic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Crisis

I guess I'm not the only one doing this, because there's this meme trend of making video edits of these articles. Pretty much captures how it feels to read them if you're into it:

Not sure what you mean by that. Corruption exists with or without paid labor, and I cannot for the life or me think how paying the people who do the lion's share of work at Wikipedia would increase the corruption there. Can you explain what you mean?
Weird bureaucratic question here:
Who owns the copyright for such generated pictures? An AI?
There are established policies for that, actually. Ideally, the 'lead' section should accurately summarize what's already stated in the article and supported by appropriate sources.

You can't. Anything that is editorialized will skew to an extreme over time. In the past, wikipedia was bad because its quality of information was generally terrible.

"Alan Turing proved in 1936 that a general algorithm to solve the halting problem for all possible program-input pairs cannot exist."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem

Alan Turing did no such thing, but that's wikipedia for you. On topics you know nothing about, it feels like wikipedia is great. But on topics you have some knowledge/expertise, wikipedia reveals itself to be amateurish nonsense.

Now throw in politics and it isn't good for anything but superficial knowledge in a narrow band of non-political topics. And that's not touching on the problems of limiting the sources to select news/media sources which exacerbates the problem. If you have time to waste, use waybackmachine to compare the wikipedia pages of "controversial" figures and see how noticeably those pages have been changed in a consistent manner.

The only thing you can do is set up competing wikipedias. My hope is major countries around the world set up their own wikipedias ( hopefully with english translations ) because I don't see anyone competing with wikipedia in the US.
> However, once one gets off "popular" articles, the quality bounds rapidly spread

The issues I have seen are mostly with these sorts of articles itself. Popular articles tend to be overall much more fair because of massive participation.

But once you go into articles which are about less popular things or contentious topics or from highly polarised areas, there is either frequent vandalism or chokehold control by few editors which makes it impossible to have even a good discussion if you think the content can be presented better.
I usually set the line length limit to somewhere around 80 so I can have several columns visible at once without wrapping or truncation.

So far my magic number is three columns: three code files, or one/two code files with a terminal and/or browser window thrown in the mix. Or any of these columns can be split into two vertically stacked boxes for a total of six things.

I’m also a (nonultrawide) single screen coder (after many forays into the multi screen world) which has undoubtedly guided my preference.

I highly recommend Kurose/Ross' Computer Networking book for a place to start. As the title suggests, it's a "top down approach" starting at the application layer, so if you're familiar with application network programming (and especially HTTP) you can probably skip the early parts of the book. It then details routing protocols, of which there are 2 major kinds: interior routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, iBGP, et al) and exterior routing protocols (eBGP). The former is for routing within your "autonomous system", the latter is for routing between autonomous systems.

See the parent comment of Ekaros below who is talking about USA invading Iran. Then Mikeb85 chimes-in with the claim that Iran, Iraq, etc are "not a real democracy and liberal, modern society". When femiagbabiaka challenges that claim, Mikeb85 responds with "Russian propaganda and Whataboutism".

"I wonder would these actions be then applied equally. Let's say USA invades Iran.
Should we then terminate all of the domains and tlds hold by any USA based entity. Reclaim all of the IP space hold by them too? Surely it would solve some starvation issue, and be just, but do we want that?"

Common justification for Western aggression in Iraq and Afganistan is that these countries are not worthy of the same protections as Ukraine since they are not democatic, liberal and modern. When somebody challenges that claim, the response is simply labeled "Russian Propaganda and Whatboutism" killing the discussion.

Any questioning of the justification for Western Aggression is responded with "Russian Propaganda and Whatboutism". One cannot even discuss with Mikeb85 whether his claim is true or not, as backed by evidence.

I would also recommend an additional algorithm:

Flagging costs 100 points. If the article or comment is flagged for certain by a mod, everyone that flags gets a refund on the points.

Yeah, I don't get it either. It's not perfect, but it might be the only web institution that hasn't broken down over time, and has done an impressive job of holding itself to quality standards given the absurdly large scale.

Encyclopedias are, by definition, fairly superficial. You could also sit down and nitpick Britannica. The quality of writing is better because they actually have a professional staff, but they have to make all the same hard choices about what to include and objectivity.
I have never met anyone who doesn’t believe Covid can kill.

Usually, it’s a strawman. People in favor of lockdowns, masks, and similar interventions ridicule those who aren’t by falsely claiming they “don’t believe in Covid”.

Whether it’s worth accepting X amount of suffering to increase average life expectancy by Y years depends on the values of X and Y. If someone argues it’s not worth it in a particular case, that doesn’t necessarily mean they think Y is zero.
You need a culture that supports truth. You will not be able to do this with policy changes.

For instance, this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biden%E2%80%93Ukraine_conspira...

>The Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory is a series of unevidenced claims centered on the false allegation that while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States, he engaged in corrupt activities relating to the employment of his son Hunter Biden by the Ukrainian gas company Burisma.

This is not a statement of fact, but an opinion of the person writing it. The fact of corruption is the question at hand.

The Vice President's son was being paid $1,000,000/yr to sit on the board of a foreign gas company.

That isn't a disputed. Joe and Hunter Biden don't dispute this.

This article should be listing the basis of accusations against Hunter, and listing refutations to those accusations.

Instead, this reads like an opinion piece/defense/misdirection.

Wikipedia should have a culture that reflexively recoils at stuff like this. I should have no idea what the political leanings of the editors at wikipedia have, but I do, and they make it obvious.
Why didn't Putin resist to being forced by the US to commit war-crimes? Is he a weak US puppet or does he have no conscience?
Great read! Another phenomenon that's not explicitly mentioned, but is also important: the industry lab. DeepMind, Google Brain, FAIR, IBM Research, MSR all have big industry labs that mostly focus on CS/ML research, but the small percentage of that overall effort that spills over into the sciences is still significant. AlphaFold is well-known but there are many other contributions being made.

Yes, in the terahertz band range for example you have very high attenuation of more than 1000 db/km. It's a spectrum (no pun intended), so depending on where you draw the line on "through earth's atmosphere" in terms of how far you want to transmit, you'll have some frequency where this becomes infeasible or you'll need more directed antennas and/or more transmit power.

This may very well be true, but I'm having trouble believing anything, from anyone, about the conflict. There is so much propaganda around the subject, that unless you are personally connected to an official source, I believe you can't know with any reasonable certainty. The primary source for this story appears to be public Google Trends data.
I downvote regularly following the FAQ - if it isn’t an interesting comment or if it violates site guidelines, downvote. If it is interesting and/or informative I upvote.

There is a slight gap in moderation capacity for “hot topic” comments that get an way more upvotes than they get downvotes, even though the comment actually violates site guidelines.

The idea of the “grey vote” is to perhaps allow certain users to make a comment grey without necessarily flagging it.

Lots of food for thought.

I think this has to be solved culturally. Wikipedia would have to have a radical cultural dedication against "cliques" and sectarianism and towards openness.

I also don't like the maxime of Wikipedia to prefer "sourced" information, rather than "true" information. Something can be wrong, but if reputable sources claim it, then it goes in WP. I know in the English speaking world the term "truth" has gotten some problematic connotations recently, but frankly I find that disturbung. I really would prefer a site that goes for the truth, and when there is no agreement then I want them to detail the disagreement (with correct proportions to prevent "false balance") and then I want to discuss the fuck out. I feel in Wikipedia, too often the "admins" (i.e. the established editors) decide on a whim.

Finally I think deletionism is the plaque, and we need an inclusionist wikipedia. This is not just because I want to read articles about Pokemon, or because I believe disk space is cheap. I personally think there is a fundamental philosophical or political argument pro inclusionism.

Buttons are a trained behavior. It takes training to get a dog to use those buttons and most credentialed trainers will heavily rely on rewards for training. The researchers here were trying to use an innate behavior. That makes sense because they want to check if the dog would use an innate behavior to initiate communication. If they rely on a trained behavior the dog may be doing it to get the reward that was used to train the dog and NOT doing it solely to initiate communication.

A lot of those talking buttons videos you see in my opinion are either scripted/edited or a bit of projection/reinterpretation of what’s going on in human terms. I have a dog I love to death and the lengths people including myself will go to reinterpret their behavior in human terms is incredible.
