  • I don't think you fully grasp how Wikipedia works and how much work is put into it to keep it up to date and accurate. Maybe you should try changing the meaning on that page and see what happens (although I don't actually condone that kind of behavior).

    I could vouch for that specific article, because it words it better than I could. But, it seems you'd rather have a ridiculous argument than have your question answered...

  • Wikipedia is probably the most trustworthy source around. It can be wrong so you should still verify it if you want to be sure. But, I don't think there's another site with a large amount of knowledge that is so consistently accurate.

    What you should have learned from school is that you don't cite it in your papers, because it's not the original source for anything. But, you definitely should be using it for your research and using its citations to go deeper.

  • I could understand that. But, with a bit more context from the article (that I should have included), it's talking about the criminals that are targeting specific individual children to assault them.

  • When a parent is anxious about the child enough to install a bloody tracking app. The parents is giving the data about the child to the criminals.

    That sounds unlikely and more paranoid than the parents who would install those apps... How many criminals are going to data brokers to track their child targets?

  • Sure, but use it constructively. Don't let it hurt your mental health without providing any positive impacts.

    A relevant part from the article:

    I think local community politics is how you can build a kind of feeling of safety and understanding among a group, like, “Oh, actually, there are concrete things I can do, or we can do, to organize and think about how we challenge the status quo we disagree with.”

  • I heard about this before and from memory, that's how this started. People were researching why adult teeth weren't growing and were looking for what could make them grow.

  • Why would you have 30 days in those months? I'm a fan of having exactly 4 weeks each month (28 days), across 13 months. Then every month is the same. If the 1st is on a Monday, then the 1st of every month will always be a Monday. You just need to add a leap week in every now and again.

  • Fixing a leaky tap isn't going to help much during a flood. I don't know the numbers to be making any kind of judgement call and of course every little bit help. But sometimes a small issue really is so insignificant that fixing it has no noticeable impact in the bigger picture.

    Often it can even be a great way for companies to look like their doing something to help and distract from the fact that they're the ones causing the bigger problem.

  • I think it's in the pipeline. AMD has bought Xilinx, which builds FPGAs and already had some AI specific cores in their processors. I believe they're developing that further and integrating it in their GPUs now.
