Hey I'm a moderately experienced wikipedia editor. And yeah it's a really annoying thing when you don't get recognized for the hard work put into creating a draft like this. When I'm back at my computer maybe I'll take a look and see how I can help improve your draft.

Generally the hardest and most annoying part about a case like this is wikipedia's desire for reliable sources which generally means newspapers or academic sources. You can have something super well known, around forever, and often mentioned but it can be hard to find sources writing about it directly. For example, I wrote the Wikipedia article for high touch (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-touch) and it was quite annoying to try to find sources. Similarly I wrote one for "smell training" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell_training) and the requirements are even higher for anything related to medicine.

Anyway, I'm not gonna say I advise you to do this. But if you're really confident that the article meets the notability guidelines you can also create the article in mainspace (instead of draft). If someone tries to delete it then the guidelines are a little different (vs reviewing drafts) because they have to be sure that there aren't sources to make it notable (not just that you didn't use them). Often times people will actually find sources and add them to the article rather than just complain you don't have good enough ones.

PS: I'm sure someone will come and explain why I'm wrong here but this has generally been my experience.
in the past we had religion, which gives some people hope. we have yet to find the replacement for religion.
Consumption inequality is also an important thing to consider.

There's no way Bezos consumes (spends) $180B during his life. As long as he's not spending the wealth, wealth inequality is not a huge problem. He said he plans to give most of his wealth to charity but didn't specify any numbers.

Another thought - if he gives all the money to the bottom 60% and they start spending, the net effect would be that economic output would stay roughly constant but consumption would be redirected from the top 40% to the bottom 60%.
curious to hear you elaborate on this

> The New York Times was happy to report her claims[2], and didn't even mention that their reporting of the meeting when it happened showed no evidence of this.

The article does mention the earlier story and links to it in the paragraph:

> The existence of the meeting has been public since shortly after it happened in December 2018. The New York Times reported shortly after the meeting took place that Ms. Warren had sought it “as a courtesy,” and that neither party had tried to gain the other’s support or discourage the other from running. But the two senators were the only people in the room, and all reports of what was said had been secondhand.
Wikipedia is an excellent example of something that would benefit from an upstream, less-authoritative, more-comprehensive source.

Unfortunately, it seems so ossified that that work can only be done within Wikipedia (notable article, standards, etc).

A far more reasonable approach would have been to have CommonPedia... and then regularly pull qualifying information into Wikipedia.
NYT had a near-identical fact pattern a few weeks ago. The military of Ukraine accidentally bombed its own city, killing 17 people. NYT falsely and without evidence attributed it to the Russian military—just like in Silver's example with the Gaza hospital. This is a recurring issue, and IMHO suggests a systemic problem with their reporting, not limited to one topic or bureau.

Yes, for each of the umpteen number of packages that depends on Flask. Instead of Flask just doing it one time and avoiding that breaking change altogether.

Open source is supposed to be a community. Forcing a breaking change like this on all their dependencies that they could have avoided with a one-line import statement is, IMO, not very good behavior as a community member.
I do believe that more communication (even useless ones such as "I have completed stage 1 and now moving to stage 2) are better than less or none.

This is especially true for juniors because they cannot fix stuffs quickly, so it's better to talk their thoughts loudly in the incident channel.
Hello! Sol Reader CTO here. What a fun post to wake up to. AMA
It looks that "Would you help me repair my door ?" is widespread in the land of the free.
They weren't actually interested in being unbiased though, they only like attacking Republicans, and as political power shifted, they ran out of credible targets.
// Tens of thousands of people contribute to Amazon's success, directly and indirectly, which in my view makes Bezo's wealth even more absurd

Did these people not get paid? Many of them are also millionaires or very least FAANG-level comp, and then for the warehouse/drivers is it not their best opportunity (hence they working there?)

// Steve Jobs were instrumental to the development of the iPhone

Jobs was worth 10B when he died, and that share of Apple would be worth a lot more today. Are you saying that Jobs-level wealth is ok while Bezos level isn't? How do you decide and more importantly WHO gets to decide?
For phones. An “App Store” goes nowhere whenever people have an alternative.

Microsoft and Intel seem so consumed for jealousy for phones that at times I’d worry that they will throw their existing platforms into the bonfire. It seems that The Innovator’s Dilemma has been thoroughly embraced by platform owners today.
I don't think you need a separate extension for proxy per container support. They support Mozilla's vpn thing by default but it cam be changed to any other proxy. Syntax is something like socks:host:port though I am mot sure about the GUI support to set it. I think I set it as part of Multi Account Containers.

By the way I've heard an extension author say that containers are not required with the new strict isolation features.
If I'm remembering long-ago reading on the topic, 5% is near the point at which interest service on debts exceeds all government revenue (once enough of bonds have turned over at this interest rate to actually be the effective rate being paid out on the population of 10-year T-bills.)

What is the way to interpret this situation as other than a 10 year countdown to chaos? Hope that we reign in spending in a drastic, unprecedented way (without impacting revenue as well...)? From where I'm sitting, once the debt service exceeds revenue, we'll have to get in a big war, destabilize domestic affairs with tax hikes (which are unlikely to work, based on Laffer curve), or cease to pretend that the US currency is a stable trading platform. I guess the third option seems alright for the rest of the world, except no one else's seems to be particularly appealing.
Thanks for the report, I'll look into it!
Users who don’t want ads aren’t exactly the same as users who are willing to pay. Prime example — myself. What I’m getting at, companies have calculated that in most of scenarios having paid model isn’t worth it. There will always be exceptions for services that people use a lot — Spotify, Netflix, Youtube and etc. For websites where you go on for a few minutes, people aren’t willing to pay up.

This is a result of the 1st amendment. Sometimes it's both.
>I'm not quite tracking what you mean by 'shared computation'

I think they are trying to say that depending on where you believe the determination for will occurs, it might affect how much "blame" you place on someone performing wrong actions. If you believe they gathered external information and made an internal calculation to perform an action themselves, you might call that free will even if the final decision to act was affected by the external factors.

On the other end of the spectrum, I believe they were trying to say if you argue that an individual's computation of external information is not a free will action, then you must zoom out and incorporate the externalities which determined that individual computation/resulting action to start to discuss blame. This would essentially make the "free will computation" a shared computation in that deterministic externalities combine to remove individual free will and impose a sort of "cosmic will" where you blame the cosmic will for your bad actions, and try to excuse yourself as a result. I believe this is what they meant by "as a result it becomes possible to justify horrible actions."
Yes. And we should eliminate nonprofits entirely:

1. Churches, hospitals et al should all pay taxes just as do other corporations. They are built on the same social structure as other entities, have the same protection of government and benefit from the social system. I pay; so should they.

2. Campaign Finance Reform:

Secondly, laws should be changed so that corporations are no longer "persons". That is
Citizens_United_v._FEC should be revoked.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

Then only real people and not corporations could put money into campaigns/politics. Otherwise, in the near future (if not already) people will cease to be true participants.
I don't understand at all why people donate money or volunteer at hospitals like it's a charity or charity work. It really doesn't seem like a charity to me.
That seems odd. Like, yeah, it has a bunch of stuff, but it's also very easy to toss out what you don't like. Just right click whatever elements in the browser UI you don't like and they're gone, new tab page is customizable. The rest is checking Appearance settings and that's it. You get Chrome, but better, more or less.
I suppose the owners of the people running our country and the sponsors of our nation state (corporate oligarch)have some stakes in downtowns after all and only would like to prop it up for their own sake bringing all the plebs back to downtowns. All those talks about pollution control and saving Mother Earth is second to their moral high horse. So much for “we the people!”. While also actively
sponsoring policies that destroy the liveability and safety of downtowns. Most downtowns are ghost towns now if you haven’t noticed.
Everybody here seems to forget that propaganda exists.
Probably because you exploit this. Do this a bunch in some what that leans towards whatever your agenda is and eventually one of those articles will get a bunch of hits and attention before anyone considers revising it.
Even when I was growing up in the 80s the poorest family I knew owned their own home. It was an ancient cottage with an extension built on. The reason they were poor was that they had 7 kids and one very low income. I remember a photo of a bunch of us, aged 11, outside the school. The kid from that family was wearing a distinctive sweater with a band name from 8 years previous. Home-knitted by his mother. It has several owners before it got to him. The band weren't even cool any more, and everybody recognized it. Someone saying "Haha! John (eldest brother) was wearing that in his school photo! Look, it's up on the wall over there!"

These days, the poorest people I know have 42" TVs, smart phones and deliveroo 4 nights a week (ok, from McDonald's, but still...). But they'll never own their own homes, never have "security", and their cars are knackered. But still, compare their materialist luxury to that of my dad's childhood. Or even mine in the early 80s.
Only online. Although I've never been a huge fan of social media, I do have accounts to keep in touch with relatives and promote things that I make and produce. But I've really toned down my usage lately because I find that everything online seems designed to provoke some kind of outrage.

Even if we ignore news and media, and "rage bait" headlines, consider when and why people turn to comment sections and social media in general. People are there to unwind, de-stress and share recipes and cat gifs. That is their motivation. But WHEN do people do that? Typically on a break or after a long day of work or when the kids have finally fallen asleep. So most people are already in an agitated state to begin with. Then they read something that annoys them, or they have something from work to vent about. And so not only does everyone seem angry, they were a bit on edge to begin with and then created a feedback cycle through mutual participation.

I personally started to feel so much less anxious and uptight when I started to use social media and read comments less. Same with most news, but I won't begrudge anyone for trying to keep informed. It's really the angry feedback cycle that I think is creating a lot of stress and anxiety for people.
Wikipedia's origination was almost 100% self-reported, uncited facts.

The standards came much later.
See zombie companies in Japan.

If it improves the allocation of resources (like labor) then it provides value.
It wasn't a "false claim of rape". It was, at worst, distasteful hyperbole.
I’m so thankful for Wikipedia. It’s the best part of the internet in my opinion.
Does defamation require the person to knowingly spread false information? As my understanding is that if they had heard of the protection order and misunderstood what that meant they wouldn't be guilty of libel.

I'm not sure if that's true, or if it would also apply to defamation.
In its heyday, using Twitter as an aggregator of alerts in a place that I was already receiving casual updates from was incredibly convenient. Tying that to conversation, it was easy to discern if this was a global impact caused by, for example, a failed deploy, or local, say a failing CDN endpoint. I truly don't think this is a case of folks opting solely for convenience over accuracy, so much as it added both convenience and context. Not to mention it was a useful canary in the coal mine, as declaring incidents on large platforms trigger SLA contract provisions, so we often see quite delayed reports from first-party sources.
I want to point out that the version that got declined [1] definitely did not have any independent references to support notability [2] (and had it been accepted would probably have been nominated for deletion quickly).

The current version looks fine. Unfortunately reviewing drafts is a very thankless job (~90% of drafts are worthless) so there are never enough reviewers (speaking as an Wikipedia admin who used to review a lot of drafts). The backlog is definitely not something people are happy about, but it isn't easy to solve.

Also, having your drafts reviewed is actually not required. Once you have made 10 edits you can move the draft to the main article space yourself (or directly create articles). The reason why brand new users can't directly create articles is that whey they used to be able to, a ~third of all new articles ended up being deleted immediately because they were spam/gibberish/vandalism, which ends up both being a lot of work for reviewers, and very discouraging to those new users.

I dont have to elaborate. It's my interpretation of your reasoning. Nothing wrong with OSS or your desire to build something.
> My favourite example is doing I/O: some bytes were copied, but there was a problem with the rest.

How do you reconcile that with the general rule or convention that `if err != nil` the value is unsafe to use?

Apart from this, I don't think sum-types should be added this late either. I should have written "if they had implemented". "old vs new style" does more damage than good. Today, it is what it is.

What I do think is feasible is adding some more syntax sugar around errors.
And even then, 130nm is basically the cutting edge from the early 2000s. Cutting edge fabs now are around 3nm. Now, "this node is X nm" has become a marketing term with little correlation to actual transistor size, but from what I've seen, my understanding is you can expect two order of magnitude of difference in density, clock frequency, etc between a 130nm node and a 3 nm one.

I suspect you'd get better performance from a cutting-edge FPGA than from one of these open processes.

I'm no happy to say that. I want them to win! But it looks like they have a lot of catching up to do.

I also thought that the different weights might have been intentional since it reminds me of arithmetic coding[1]. Turns out it was just an accident.

I suppose current implementation makes sense since the weights would be roughly equal as the number of articles increases, and any individual user is unlikely to care about fairness as long as they get some random article.

With respect to Python, what is the practical difference between:

try:
something()
except FooError as err:
raise BazError("something bad happened", err)
except BarError:
return 1

and

err := something()
switch {
case errors.Is(err, FooError):
return 0, NewBazError("something bad happened", err)
case errors.Is(err, BarError):
return 1, nil
}

? I see no meaningful difference at all.

The only thing that stands out to me is that Go version gets you thinking about errors more (although not as much as some other languages), not being sourced from something bolted onto the side. In Python, you are more likely to lazily call something() blissfully unaware that an error may occur. Is the problem actually not with Go per se, but that people don't want to be reminded that errors are a thing, presumably because they don't want to put in the hard work to properly deal with them?

It is quite true that properly dealing with errors is hard work. Really hard work. But it is also the most important code in your application, so I posit that it is work worth doing.
It’s a personal preference, but I watch YouTube heavily on mobile and streaming tv box devices, so I prefer the app over the website unless I’m on desktop.

I think the app works better, faster, easier than the mobile website. You didn’t mention offline downloads, and that’s a major advantage of the app. I queue up downloads for plane rides all the time.

I’m not going to use a desktop interface for my TV, either. I want an app that is designed for use with a remote.

So you found a solution to get around it, and you’re now part of the statistic that Google uses to figure out how much to charge for Premium and how many ads to play for people who don’t block ads. You’re that X% of people who block ads and don’t pay for premium but still use up Google’s hosting resources.

What that means is that you effectively increase the price for paying customers like me, and increase the amount of ads that people who don’t block ads get to see. It is mathematically no different than people entering a Walmart and shoplift roughly 1.6% of the inventory [1], you make the business overhead that little bit higher. Thanks!

Personally, I think for the amount I get out of it the pricing is very fair, it’s a trivial expense, under $4/person/month with the family plan.

They are both terrible, and they only get more terrible from there, sorry.
They basically ran out of material after moonraker. After which Ian Flemings influence was totally gone. One of them basically was a glorified BMW commercial. Another one the 'gadgets' where whatever was cool tech for sony at the time. Which is why your skymall analogy works decent enough. The only new one that came close to what 'bond' was is Casino Royal which was loosely based on Ian FLemings book. Even Ian Fleming saw the problem with the genre he had basically made up was that you could not always fight the same baddy all the time. So he created SMIRSH to do have a way to plug in new bad guys.
And? Do you mean to imply it's OK for Mozilla and thus there is a double standard?

But who said it was OK for Mozilla?

And even if someone does want to say it's OK for Mozilla, you could argue that Mozilla doesn't put anyone in the position of choosing destitution or death, and Mozilla's millions come from Google who gets it from advertisers, while the hospitals millions are practically blood diamonds.
Worse yet, they have had to struggle with MySQL’s idiosyncrasies since at least 3.22. There will be a lot of leftovers from those grim times that used to be “real clever hacks” back in the day.
It’s an extraordinary feature that is only intended for optimization of edge cases. Making the feature verbose and somewhat ugly to use seems like an intentional choice. This way if a beginner comes across this “confusing/weird looking” code they can look up the attribute and see what it does, whereas a more convenient/native syntax would be less recognizable and noticeable. This is similar to the idea that you should make ugly APIs ugly to use (to avoid giving users a false sense of security).
For me one of the best kept secrets of Wikipedia is the Navboxes collapsed at the bottom of every article. They are very good for getting a bird's eye view of complicated topics and especially helpful for seeing how something fits within a complex hierarchy. Some of them are like minuature works of art that I'd want to hang up on my wall one day:

https://imgur.com/gallery/ILp6TtA

I get why they have to be collapsed by default, but I use a userjs to move them to the top of the page, uncollapsed, so I can use them to navigate (I set their CSS zoom to 0.3 so they don't take up too much space)

Yes, but still the media has a responsibility to note the credibility, or lack thereof, of their sources.

When Israeli military officials say "this was certainly a Palistinian attack", the news media should be noting cases where they lied about that in the past (eg the death of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh).

Likewise when Gaza officials say the reverse, the same should happen.

I get that journalism will have bias, both personally and based on past actions because they're human and because of basic pattern recognition. But when discussing the facts of an event, it's important to separate what we know (an explosion happened at a hospital in Gaza) and what we're getting from dubious sources (that it was an Israeli airstrike or an Islamic Jihad rocket failure).

In the end, it looks very likely that it was, in fact, the Islamic Jihad rocket. But on day one? No journalistic source should be repeating assertions of blame from untrustworthy and extremely interested parties without the appropriate caveats.
