> how it mirrors the way humans spread knowledge. Look for the same article in Wikipedia in different languages [...] And I add two additional points here. 1. English is the gateway language. Once an article has an English version, it is more likely to be translated into other languages. 2. Since this article is now being listed on the homepage of Hacker News, it's more likely to attract attention of a Wikipedia contributor who speaks another language, and eventually leads to a new translation. Really interesting by itself.
