Technically, you cannot make knuth-pbdsl5.Stanford.EDU resolve back to your address. But that is not about the technology. The point is Wikipedia does not have its own fact-extracting workflow, so they are piggybacking on whatever is available, e.g. the press.
- varjag 17y agoA bit tangential to the issue, but it makes me wonder what it gonna do when the anticipated "death of the press" occurs. Refer to opinion blogposts?
- Tangurena 17y agoThe "press" has been deteriorating into opinion and spin, so I don't think we'll notice much difference between the "opinion blogposts" and "the press." There won't be any single event that future generations could say "here is where the press died" any more than one can definatively state that "this was the event where the Roman Empire fell."
