Well that was a wild ride! This reads like a string of tweets... I took some notes along the way: - The Wikimedia Foundation is not the same thing as Wikipedia. This is true. - The foundation's total expenditure increased about tenfold

The title on HN (at the moment anyway) is truncated -- the full title is "Autistic children with imaginary friends have better social skills, just like neurotypical children " which has a bit of a different ring to it. Not sure i
