A decent chunk of the users who bothered installing an adblock would also be bothered enough to install a FF fork with adblock, so I doubt the revenue increase would be much.
As for calling it "off-mission": yes, what's even the point of FF if that's the route it goes on?
Your contacts could still end up messaging the new owner of the number inadvertently if you don't warn them before losing the number or out of band through. It seems WhatsApp doesn't has no warning if such a owner change happened. I believe the new owner would inherit your group memberships too, but not the group chat history.
I think false negatives (i.e. it rains when it's not supposed to) are both more bothersome and noticeable, so your weather person won't be very popular.
If it's called telepathy it's sci-fi, if it's called magic it's fantasy. Learn the rules!
On a more serious note, yeah scifi and fantasy can usually be distinguished, I get why it so often gets lumped in together as speculative fiction, even though it annoys me when I'm looking for one and have to sift through the other.
> In principle, all Wikipedia articles should contain up-to-date information. Editors are also encouraged to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events.
There clearly is editor and reader interest in making decent quality articles on major current events. Yes they may contain errors that the history book on topic won't contain, but I still think it's worth having. Just mind the things to avoid listed in WP:NOTNEWS and I think we will be fine
And I don't think everything will ever be covered in a book. There is not an infinite amount of scholars studying every random significant event. And those will probably use the same news articles as one of their sources anyway.
I find the source collating of Wikipedia helpful for recent events. That's when you're going to get most editor interest to improve the page and readers to consume it.
I believe homicide rate is frequently cited simply because it's the only crime rate that is remotely reliable. Other crimes get underreported but it's hard for the police to ignore a body with a gunshot wound.
Although it would be an interesting chart. But the distinction between what is noteworthy/newsworthy and what actually kills is precisely the point of investigating this topic.
Yeah it is annoying on principle having everything on WP but it's not the worst piece of software (yet). I think I would rather have it than the American system and their blue bubbles vs green bubbles or fragmentation between multiple incompatible and shitty proprietary messaging systems.
