  • It's a big subject, but generally:

    • We have a library or SDK that developers put in their app/webpage (lots of apps are webpages)
    • When you launch the app, we figure out who you are and what you're doing
    • We send it back to our servers, do data analysis, and use it for advertising/sell it

    If we only have a little bit of data it's pretty useless, but if we know your location/job/salary it starts to become very valuable















  • I spent a lot of time fighting the BS on Wikipedia. I went from getting I think 6 accounts banned to voting for administrators and editing some of the policy articles.

    What came from it in the end was, yes, there are malicious actors and people with agendas on Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is one of the darkest rabbit holes on the internet, and those policies were crafted over literal decades of people arguing - and there is no better set of policies out there. I'm pretty sure their policies beat literal national policies.

    So while from time to time I fight the BS, at the end of the day their policies are the best they can be to get the most verifiably accurate version out there. Anything else would allow more BS than currently exists.



  • Notability is a term used in Wikipedia to refer to how often it's cited by secondary sources. Specifically: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline

    There is no notability for this guy outside one event, so the article is better focused on the event rather than the person (which is what the talk page is leaning towards)
