To the insiders, the 72-hour ban-unban-ban sequence was just the organic, self-correcting machine cleaning up an external threat. To anyone looking from the outside, it’s definitive proof of broken governance, an anarchic mob rule where volume of availability has completely replaced the validity of consensus.
Wikipedia’s governance is fundamentally broken, operating less like an open meritocracy and more as a tyranny of the dedicated. The platform purports to represent a massive global community of editors, yet its most critical systemic policies are routinely captured by a fraction of a percent of that pool. A stark case in point is the ratification of the English Wikipedia's binding AI content guideline (WP:LLM), which was enacted following a Request for Comment that closed with just 44 votes in favor out of tens of thousands of active contributors. This structural failure stems from an intense "time tax": navigating dense internal bureaucracies and litigating talk pages requires a massive, asymmetric availability of free time. Domain experts and casual contributors are systematically filtered out, leaving policy-making to a self-selecting oligarchy of hyper-active insiders. Ultimately, the system fails because it treats sheer endurance as a proxy for consensus, allowing the rules of the web's primary reference engine to be dictated by whoever has the bandwidth to outlast everyone else.
I will show myself out...
STEM is such a big area. Where are the jobs???
Daughter just complete BS in Math in 3yrs and cannot find a job. Now, is user support line on how to fill out a health insurance website at $10/hr.
So what good is STEM student degree by a female, if their is nothing waiting at the other end??????
If your daughter has a degree in mathametics then she should have no trouble learning and becoming a programmer. Success in life is correlated with tenacity. Not with the level of education.
If your not depressed about being in prison you have a problem. prison is not supposed to have concern for your high values. That is why its a punishment.
Google Maps will help you calculate the cost of public transit vs. driving. After you map out your commute. Just click on the public transit button. About half way down it will show you a public transit vs. driving comparison.
My commute by car is 37.9 miles each way to my job in San Francisco. According to Google Maps, it costs me $22.18 to drive into San Francisco each way, not counting the Bay Bridge toll at 4.00, plus parking at 10-20 dollars a day.
This adds up $68.36 round trip to drive to my job in San Francisco per day.
BART takes 20 minutes longer and costs me 10 dollars per round trip. Which one do you think I take?
No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.
