Yes you are missing a lot. But you aren't alone. Everyone else is too. This is becoming a characteristic feature of the internet.
There is huge information asymmetry at play here that just cannot be communicated through the media, social media or a hn post.
Or as I would say to a second grader, if you want to understand things your cousin in college is talking about put in 10 years of work. If the internet gives you the impression that everything that you can't make sense of is one ted talk/one reddit ELI5 post away, that's just wrong.
This expectation has to change. Otherwise we end up with more and more people who don't understand the work it takes to know anything deeply.
I actually did put in the work, however, and I agree with parent. You also don't become an authority by pretending you're some mystic wise man without saying anything of substance.
It's unconstitutional for many reasons, one of which is that the executive has no authority to block the entry of legal visa and green card holders without due process.
And yes, it deals a massive blow to the rule of law and faith in the stability of the nation when legal visitors and immigrants are blocked from entry due to an arbitrary dictate from POTUS.
Tech CEO's have to address the outsourcing/factory shutdowns and visa misuse that has happened for a couple decades now. Using the Obama line of "well those jobs have gone and wont come back" creates space for characters like Trump to exploit.
The "hack Google" through web inspector reminds me of an experience I had a while back.
The plan was to teach kids about how websites works/HTTP basics, basic HTML/JS etc. I had all the material and code ready. When I reached the school I found out their internet had been disconnected!
Google's "browser is offline" T-Rex game popped up and I ended up spending the entire week with them teaching them how that game worked. It was a big hit! By the end of the week they were busy modifying the t-rex sprites with each others faces and stuff :)
Basically have a back up plan for no/limited internet!
I think they build a strawman instead of really making a case against the Google theory "great teams require psychological safety" [0]. The first example of the article is "no one played the relationship-building role", which might also be the main problem within Google. This article can be considered a generalization which applies to more environments.
I imagine that the industry is under comparatively little scrutiny by regulators and the public, and can therefore be as fast-moving and rule-bending[0] as the top SV startups. This combined with less (at least perceived) prudence in Europe might give them the edge over their competition.
References are the basis of all material on Wikipedia. It's the only way to deal with bias at a global level. Your friend might be a decent person but there are lots of Commissioners of Public Works that aren't and have agendas that take a non trivial amount of effort and time to discover.
Printed references are references, and they shouldn't be rejected just because they aren't on the internet. But even when the author went to the trouble of putting those references on the internet, they were still deleted.
There's just no justification for that. Even if a policy required all references to be available via the internet, the author fulfilled that requirement.
sigh...there is justification. Which doesn't mean your friend and his content were treated shabbily.
If this was allowed, and Donald Trump is putting up his documents on the internet and referencing them on his wikipedia page would you allow it? It can do a lot of damage and people and organizations do this all the time and every day.
If something has has been officially published, and is available to the public, it's a reference. That's entirely distinct from someone citing their own stuff.
