@taoeffect@mstdn.io care to elaborate that? I provided a reason for saying that, in the need of sources and in the public debate over what to put in the page and what not

I feel weird when stuff I say is quoted out of context =D

Any opinion of anyone who read the article? (My opinion, >500 characters)

Any opinion of anyone who read the article?

I'm a hobbyist writer and I found the community to be quite well balanced so far, but I edit in non-controversial stuff.

I see two points are crossing in this article, which I don't like: the money and political stuff (like money from the foundation going to privates and so on) and the impartiality of the pages. This are two different matters.

The matter of corruption in the wikimedia foundation is serious and I do not have the time to explore it all right now, but I'll surely take the time in this days.

The impartiality of the pages is a matter of how the community reacts to manipulation, which is more close to what I am in contact with.

In the article it quotes AstraZeneca, which at a quick read seems alright. Quotes an article which was vandalized for a bit too long, which I mean, happens.

Wikipedia feels to me quite neutral, basically. It is a tertiary source, so it can't come up with stuff, and the source is all that matters.

The problem in political pages is what to include and what not, and that is why the best source of information is the Talk page, not the article itself, IMO =D

In any case, the technology of wikipedia is prone to abuse. It is centralized, it doesn't have players to put each one in check, and sometimes I'm even surprised of how far we are going with the tools we are using on it.

@Canageek@cybre.space Thanks, but it's a bit outside of my league... I'm not a chemist, I just studied basic organic chemistry and applied to biology and pharmacology, wouldn't understand 3/4 of your paper probably =D

But must feel good to be quoted, keep it up!

To be fair, she was being thrown out even before she started to speak, no matter the questions...

@FinalTheory
What's the final theory? Is it like a theory of everything or..?

And is it a theory in a scientific sense, or is an hypothesis?

@FinalTheory
I think @jaranta meant 'Humean' like, relative to the philosopher Hume, not 'human' :)

@Lou
Now, that's putting things in prespective

Grats! What was the paper about, may I ask?

@socalledunitedstates
Depends on context, and what you do. It takes like 3 years for a bamboo to become hard enough to build something, meanwhile it stays there using space. You have many tens of kilos of food you are not harvesting to keep 100m covered in bamboo for 3 years. After that, is difficult to get rid of it in my experience, takes a while and keeps popping out.
Bamboo also likes a lot of water, in very dry areas you'll have to use much water from the reservoir to grow it.

In some places, like most EU cities, you can find a lot of usable wood in the trash, and recycle it, which is easier and more environmentally friendly.
That's just some thoughts, bamboo of course can have it's place in a design and community owned place, but like everything, it depends IMO
