Eh, I find vegan cheese very variable. I never seek it out but experience it relatively often. Sometimes it's tasty and chewy. Sometimes it's a bland monstrosity. I don't know why.

Interesting point. The main one I'm part of started out as a wiki and is now both. The wiki is kind of the long term memory of the community, but it's so painful to have conversations there.

Yeah, I had a few months inside Facebook, and saw this in action on the internal FB. People would raise objections to unethical actions by the company, and the response was basically "Yeah, but it makes soooo much money."

Yes, this is key. Business models based on generating low quality information and using SEO to monetise it will die and that's a good thing. But unfortunately also sites that generate high quality information (eg independent research,

Copying and pasting code is often fine, particularly when you make a change to one of the copies. Over time I have come to prefer having two near copies that are each more concretely expressive of their task than a more abstract version tha
