The images and videos aren't technically wikipedia; they're part of the "wikimedia commons". You're right; including all the multimedia content significantly increases the size. I don't know the exact size currently but back in 2014 it was "over 23 terabytes"; could be double that by now.
It gets quite a bit smaller if you only want to archive the English language content though.
The President of the United States controls neither spending nor taxation.
That's pretty damn funny.
What's doubly funny is that you then go on to blame republicans for lowering taxes, and congratulate democrats for raising taxes... convenitnely ignoring the fact that these ups and downs depend on which party has their president in office.
These people (companies) are paying monetary bounties to enable the local police forces (who are SUPPOSED to be upholding constitutional law) to perform unlawful searches
That's your assumption, which you pretty much pulled out of your ass. As the other guy pointed out, TLAs can use these to conduct lawful surveillance outside of your country. Additionally local police and TLAs can make use of this tech to surveil citizens legally, by first obtaining a warrant.
The fact that any given technology can be abused does not mean that it does not have legitimate uses. It's just that when you're paranoid you always tend to see only the potential for abuse.
"gated communities do lower the odds of experiencing a residential burglary even when controlling for housing unit factors such as tenure, income, and geographical location as well as individual characteristics such as age [and] race"
Look, I understand your fixation on literal meanings. I am an Aspie myself. But when I said Mexicans are "staying home", I didn't mean that every single Mexican refuses to leave their house, and has food delivered by drone.
I meant it figuratively.
If you think that 130,000 illegal immigrants being arrested in one year can be " figuratively" characterised as "people staying home", you're not an aspie, you're an idiot.
They are emigrating at far lower rates than in the past, and emigration is more than balanced out by Mexicans returning to Mexico to take advantage of the greater economic opportunities.
Which is completely fucking irrelevant when we are talking about border security. It would be relevant if your primary concern was how many Mexicans are in the US at any given time, but that's not at all what the discussion is about. I can see why you've reached the idiotic conclusion that walls are useless, though; you seem to have no clue what their purpose is.
Yes I know what "net migration" means. You apparently don't know what "staying home" means. Not surprising given that you're the same simpleton who tried to argue that walls are useless because China was invaded.
If you're retarded enough to characterise 130,000 Mexicans arrested trying to cross the border in 2017 as "Mexicans staying home", then there's certainly no helping you.
I fully support your desire to stop eating chemicals. Electricity is so much better for you. I know a guy whose father was dying from cancer until he stuck a fork in a wall outlet and now he's an Olympic boxer.
I know some folks into homeopathy and it's been because they couldn't afford real doctors and medicine
No, it's been because they didn't really understand what they were buying. If you're already poor you're certainly not going to waste money on something you know doesn't work. If I can't pay my electric bill I'm not going to go out and buy a perpetual motion machine.
As someone else pointed out earlier, Steve Jobs wasted his time and money on alternative medicine when conventional medicine had a very strong chance of helping him live another decade or two. Are you going to tell me he couldn't afford actual medicine?
We've been building walls for millennia for a reason. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that you're stupid enough to think that a wall is as ineffective as homeopathy. Intelligent people understand their utility.
A hippie marketing guru who considered LSD one of the most important things he did in his life was conned by alternative medicine bullshit? No way! I don't believe it!
Don't worry, I'm sure boulat will drop by any minute to chinsplain to us why this is insignificant in the face of the recent Chinese surpassing of the US.
Like when? What we do know is there was a dramatic drp down from about 37% in the early 1980s. Biology doesn't change significantly over the course of 1 generation.
Biology doesn't have to; societal factors are sufficient. People - men and women - don't just pick careers based on what they're good at or interested in; they also consider things like opportunity, cost, social standing, stabiliy, etc. Early on women were overrepresented in computing because they had few other good opportunities. It didn't mean that women were better at it than men. The percentage had already dropped significantly by the 80s, and it continued to drop as our societies became more equal in opportunity.
or that 50% of nurses should be male
There are no significant voices saying that.
I noticed that you didn't say there are no significant voices saying that women should be 50% of computer scientists though.
No, Chromecast doesn't require you to be signed into your account. You can set it up to prevent unauthorised users from streaming to it, but it doesn't do that by default. Plenty of people leave it completely unsecured. Mine is unsecured because I like the convenience of my guests being able to instantly connect to it. But I also have UPNP disabled on my router, so I'm not worried about anyone accessing it from outside my network.

Wikipedia in it's entirety is less than 200 GB compressed. Even uncompressed it would fit no problem on my home NAS.
Walls don't work
From your own article:
"gated communities do lower the odds of experiencing a residential burglary even when controlling for housing unit factors such as tenure, income, and geographical location as well as individual characteristics such as age [and] race"
You really are retarded.

Nice way of pretending that net migration is relevant.
That's wonderful; now we just have to wait for someone to propose building a castle and your comment will instantly become relevant!

Thanks, I needed a new idea for a GoFund me scam.
I must have misinterpreted that. In that case you're just being willfully obtuse.

How much you wanna bet that people who score high on neuroticism are far more likely to be neurotic?

Yeah, insecure devices being accessed via UPNP is way worse than insecure devices connected directly to the net via their own IPV6 address!

You have a 6 digit UID, and you don't know the difference between UPNP and WPS?
No, it's not even remotely the same thing. The only thing they have in common is that they're both insanely bad ideas if you care about security.
I'd love to see what happens to a foreign professional or a student who gets wrongfully arrested in the USA.
You get a 1.6 million dollar payout from the US government.
