Wikipedia is very well funded, but not, as this video might make you believe, by large donations from the likes of Google and Amazon. While these donate the occasional million, most of the Wikimedia Foundation's $160 million revenue comes from small donations.

Moreover, it's not a question of "keeping Wikipedia running" – the Wikimedia Foundation is taking more than enough money for that. Revenue has increased every year of the Wikimedia Foundation's existence, and it had (including endowment growth) a total surplus of nearly $90 million in its 2020/21 financial year, as well as hundreds of millions in reserves:

In fact, the success of Wikipedia fundraising is such that by now, many Wikipedia volunteers feel that fundraising emails asking people to donate money "to keep Wikipedia online", "ad-free", or "independent", are grossly misleading and unethical:

That makes sense, thanks. My wife did have lung issues for a week or so but they ended up mellowing out and fading away. Weird stuff like coughing up infected phlegm. Definitely shallow breath like you mentioned.

We’re in Canada but our healthcare situation in our area is pretty bad. Sometimes weeks to get an appointment, walk in clinics are loaded by the early morning, triage in emergency rooms can totally exclude problems like my wife’s within any reasonable time frame. I think some parts of the country are okay right now (I hope) but we haven’t had a family doctor or reliable access to healthcare for years now.
Let me turn it around and think about it from another perspective. Imagine that I’m the leader of a company that is one of those sources of pollution. It sounds like my best option is to try and make the issue as political as possible in order to prevent groups from realizing their shared interest in regulating me. Classic divide and conquer.
> No one is talking about the dangers of Khan Academy or Duolingo. They’re talking about the addictive nature of social media and other infinity pools of content and engagement.

Some people, sure. But there are indeed plenty of people who feel that self-administered screen-based learning is a questionable substitute for the personal attention of educators and a losing trade against the constructive, social, or physical activities performed offline.

Definitely not a straw man.
> People want an ecosystem that is easy to adapt to

People don't know what an 'ecosystem' is. They just want to click twice, and have things work. They don't have neither time nor energy to take away from daily hustle and dedicate it to maintaining an open web.
Honestly pathos and emotions can guide us in my eye just as much as logos can.

You cannot put a value on a singular human due to the unique ability to grow everlasting on a mental health level.

To ignore the emotional component in this argument and asking for raw numerals in this case, does this really show cause for an argument of growth because the pathos argument is ignored in it of itself?

That doesn't make any sense in my eye. Why use logos to defend mass slavery overseas for production of goods? Isn't that inherent to the actual problems with the capitalistic system? Aren't we as a race beyond Social Darwinism yet?

Your logic I feel is showing cause for the emotional problems we have with capitalism and quite frankly I could care less about any singular country's GDP to begin with in this argument because every country has to help get our earth to net zero carbon by 2050 and quite frankly the world's nations are doing a piss poor job in this. Especially the United States.

I find our current system of capitalism to be no better personally than an unbalanced video game that hasn't been patched in years and is needing serious re-balancing. But what do I know? I'm just another "emotional" human. Meanwhile every nation is equally responsible for the consequences on this on a scale that to me far exceeds "economics."
Could it be good with more climate migrants (or refugees if you want), finding their way to Canada?

Because Canada is worst or second emitter, as per: https://www.nationalobserver.com/2021/10/07/news/any-way-you... (linked to at the end of the Wired.com article).

and why wouldn't Canada continue making climate change happen faster and faster, if the people in Canada don't notice any effects?

But with more climate migrants in Canada, maybe more Canadians will stop and think: "Oh something is actually happening on far away other continents, do we want to contribute to more of that" and try to ... not sure what? Vote for other politicians?

> arguably been privatizing the resulting wealth

The only way that wealth would have grown is if that investment paid off in providing goods and services that the rest of the country preferred to buy, and they would only prefer spend their money on it if it made their lives better.

For example, people like to rag on Amazon, but Amazon's products and services has personally benefited me greatly. Shopping online saves me a ton of time, and wear and tear on my car.

As for equity portfolios, anyone in America can invest in equities. Etrade, Robinhood, etc., have done a great job democratizing investing. Want a piece of the action? Buy some equities.
The article calls them "climate migrants". Here's an example, from the article:

> Take farmers, for example. Soil degradation is one of climate change’s greatest impacts, he said. Poor soil means poor crops, forcing farmers to move to towns and cities to find work. But many fail to find jobs in larger urban centers, he added, leaving them no choice but to leave their home country and seek opportunities in Canada.

And I think the copyleft nature of Wikipedia is important when talking about monopolies.

The recommendation of books is good, but Wikipedia does often link to books, and has various schemes in place to give access to the book content so that citations can be checked.

Finally, despite what was claiming in the video, about wikipedia hiding the demographics of it's editors, Wikipedia itself is probably the best place to find people discussing that data and making attempts to expand it.
There should always be an option to paginate. As others have said, the user-hostility is significant on any infinite scroll — one side-product of this is the refusal of apps/sites such as Twitter (sometimes) or Facebook to stay where the user left off, reloading the page when the app or page is returned to. (One other truly hostile aspect of such sites: the user's choice of display order, especially on Twitter, is rarely respected, returning always to what the site believes to be most advantageous to itself. User settings should never be changed remotely, or without user approval.)

The browser is client-facing and everything there is possible to reverse engineer and figure out. So if you design a web-based application, and are depending on client-side Javascript for any security or distribution enforcement, it can be helpful, but can ultimately be unwound and cracked even if obfuscated, etc.

Yes. Try to download a YouTube video with out it or an online service which is probably using it internally.
It’s the same concept. The first two years you are getting your base + prorated signing bonus + 5% of your RSUs the first year and 15% the second year. If the stock price stays level. Your 4 year compensation is going to stay about level - you get a slightly smaller signing bonus the second year. If it goes up significantly by year 2.5 (20% every six months after year 2). You will see a massive jump.

If Amazon did just pay you base + stock at an even 25/25/25/25. You would still be “leaving money on the table”.

There are so many ways that having a plant-based good system is far superior to what we have. I don’t really understand why we’re so intent on devoting so much wealth to eating animals.

Plants high in protein are easier to preserve, cheaper to grow, cheaper to transport, can be stored with less energy, the list goes on.

It seems like we do this entirely because most of us think it tastes good. There’s no reason we couldn’t sustain ourselves on a fraction of the meat, dairy, and eggs that we have now.

I do wonder what I’m missing. There must be more to it.
it's patently absurd when people use patently as a filler word.
Higher end fast food chains like Panera or Chipotle tend to have the dismal atmosphere of a busy airport. They get slammed by lines of office drone types who would rather be somewhere else and are only coming in for convenience, not to really take pleasure or relaxation in the act of eating.

I always enjoyed the slightly downscale fast food places since they tend to be less crowded and people are in less of a hurry. It would be sad, but typical of the “ongoing social atomization” if McDonald’s starts deciding dining rooms are too big of a liability and we all retreat to our burbclaves.
> Support for Galileo and Glonass was touted maybe a decade ago

I bought a new phone in 2021 and it newly touted Galileo support but when actually opening up GPSTest, there were no satellites. On the forums, it turns out nobody could receive any Galileo. This isn't something that has been around for very long as of today, and when it's advertised, it might not even work.

Also, "As of 2012, [Galileo] was scheduled to have 15 satellites operational in 2015 and reach full operation in 2020" (Wikipedia). The first satellite had been launched only a year prior, 2011. This really wasn't a thing yet, a decade ago.

GLONASS is something my previous phone (Huawei, Feb 2017, €240) could reliably receive along with BeiDou, so that has been around a bit longer.

The difference between my GPS-only 2012 phone and the Huawei was night and day. Multiple minutes to find a fix versus mere seconds, both under reasonable conditions next to a window (both lying on the windowsill, started searching for a fix at the same time). Whether that's due to GLONASS and BeiDou or if the GPS chip itself also made a leap, I don't know, but yes this has gotten a lot better and it's definitely noticeable as a regular user, if you use GNSS specifically.

Probably you haven't noticed because phones, by default at least, upload WiFi identifiers around them to Google/Apple which then return a location, so in both cases you get a fairly good position within whatever your ping time to goopple is, and goopple gets a nice map of users' locations in return. (Or to Mozilla, if you modified your phone to use MLS instead. I tried it once, was nice, but a hassle to set up so my current phone doesn't have it anymore.)
>It's interesting to me that implicit in your argument is that the corporation has some sort of "prime" speech right that users do not,

No I'm not. Both have the same free speech. Except the corporations speech is being restricted by the government while the user's speech is being restricted by a private corporation. Only one of those is a First Amendment issue.

>We already have tons of laws that restrict what businesses can do, that would obviously restrict speech - like banning discrimination.

Discrimination is usually action and not speech. It is someone being fired, promoted, not hired, or just generally being treated differently. It generally takes for discriminatory speech to venture into harassment or a hostile environment before the government would step in.

>The law does not, in fact, dictate what private businesses can say. It gives them a list of things they cannot say

How are these not the same thing? Telling someone they can't do something is inherently telling them what they can do.

This is misleading and creates the illusion that sustainability is impossible.

Instead, only the fraction of population using more that their fair share is responsible for reducing emissions.

And do that while improving health, life expectancy and quality of life.
Has things changed or did market forces just adapt to the emerging profile of slightly guilty-feeling, upper-middle class Westerners? That now get to feel green for buying overpriced chickpeas and investing in a charging station for their home and a solar panel roof (wow—I get to increase the value of my property, save on my electricity bill when amortized over twenty years, and save the planet at the same time??)

This isn’t really a rhetorical question. It looks one way to me, but it’s hard to know. You pretty much have to dedicate yourself to a mini research project in order to honestly answer that question. That’s how capitalism obfuscates things for us and alienates us from what was ostensibly our original task, namely to save the planet.

Global Public Opinion in an Era of Democratic Anxiety
I think you have to look to history for the repeated, seemingly inevitable recurrence of eventual conflict after decline or degradation of internal, or external political relations/interests/material conditions whatever. And what does game theory tell you to do in an inevitable situation w/ potential defectors/non-cooperators?

My answer is only an appreciation for "realism" or "realpolitik" in these matters, that people should not delude themselves at the point when enemies distinguish themselves to you by pattern of action and behavior over time. But you should always work for cooperation where possible of course. "Make friends" (where you can).

I'm mostly responding the point that seems to imply political differences can always be overcome, that everyone is always willingly persuadable, and that science and tech or any institutions for that matter can exist in a vacuum outside of politics. People just don't notice or think about political conflict when they are operating amongst political allies or issues don't rise to level of existential disagreement.
A valid concern is that everybody copies the same information. This invariably leads to cases where errors in Wikipedia are repeated in so many places that people everywhere think they are fact.
