The Truth According To Wikipedia The Truth according to Wikipedia More info on http://www.vpro.nl/programma/tegenlicht/afleveringen/39405191/ (Dutch) Google or Wikipedia? Those of us who search online -- and who doesn't? -- are getting referred more and more to Wikipedia. For the past two years, this free online "encyclopedia of the people" has been topping the lists of the world's most popular websites. But do we really know what we're using? Backlight plunges into the story behind Wikipedia and explores the wonderful world of Web 2.0. Is it a revolution, or pure hype? Director IJsbrand van Veelen goes looking for the truth behind Wikipedia. Only five people are employed by the company, and all its activities are financed by donations and subsidies. The online encyclopedia that everyone can contribute to and revise is now even bigger than the illustrious Encyclopedia Britannica. Does this spell the end for traditional institutions of knowledge such as Britannica? And should we applaud this development as progress or mourn it as a loss? How reliable is Wikipedia? Do "the people" really hold the lease on wisdom? And since when do we believe that information should be free for all? In this film, "Wikipedians," the folks who spend their days writing and editing articles, explain how the online encyclopedia works. In addition, the parties involved discuss Wikipedia's ethics and quality of content. It quickly becomes clear that there are camps of both believers and critics. Wiki's Truth introduces us to the main players in the debate: Jimmy Wales (founder and head Wikipedian), Larry Sanger (co-founder of Wikipedia, now head of Wiki spin-off Citizendium), Andrew Keen (author of The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture and Assaulting Our Economy), Phoebe Ayers (a Wikipedian in California), Ndesanjo Macha (Swahili Wikipedia, digital activist), Tim O'Reilly (CEO of O'Reilly Media, the "inventor" of Web 2.0), Charles Leadbeater (philosopher and author of We Think, about crowdsourcing), and Robert McHenry (former editor-in-chief of Encyclopedia Britannica). Opening is a video by Chris Pirillo. The questions surrounding Wikipedia lead to a bigger discussion of Web 2.0, a phenomenon in which the user determines the content. Examples include YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, and Wikipedia. These sites would appear to provide new freedom and opportunities for undiscovered talent and unheard voices, but just where does the boundary lie between expert and amateur? Who will survive according to the laws of this new "digital Darwinism"? Are equality and truth really reconcilable ideals? And most importantly, has the Internet brought us wisdom and truth, or is it high time for a cultural counterrevolution?

Wikipedia and MediaWiki Google TechTalks April 28, 2006 Brion Vibber Brion Vibber has worked on MediaWiki and Wikipedia's servers for four years, watching over its frightening growth from thousands to millions of pages, from dozens to thousands of hits per second. ABSTRACT Over four years, MediaWiki has evolved from a quick hack to run a little-known encyclopedia web site to the monster engine behind a heavily-used public site, while maintaining the simplicity needed for an entry-level intranet wiki. Brion reviews past and future directions for Wikipedia's software and hardware, and how modern buzzword technologies could power and simplify the wiki world. Tags: wikipedia wiki google |

Seattle Conference on Scalability: Scalable Wikipedia with E Google Tech Talks June 14, 2008 ABSTRACT IGlobal online services at Amazon, eBay, Myspace, YouTube, or Google serve millions of customers with tens of thousands of servers located throughout the world. At this scale, components fail continuously and it is difficult to maintain a consistent state while hiding failures from the application. Peer-to-peer protocols provide availability by replicating services among peers, but they are mostly limited to write-once/read-many data sharing. To extend them beyond the typical file sharing, the support of fast transactions on distributed hash tables (DHTs) is an important yet missing feature. We will present a distributed key/value store based on a DHT that supports consistent writes. Our system comprises three layers: - a DHT layer for scalable, reliable access to replicated data, - a transaction layer to ensure data consistency in the face of concurrent write operations, - an application layer with an extremely high access rate. For the application layer, we selected a distributed, scalable Wiki with full transaction support. We will show that our Wiki outperforms the public Wikipedia in terms of served page requests per second and we will discuss how the development of the distributed code benefited from the use of Erlang. This is joint work of Zuse Institute Berlin and onScale solutions GmbH. Speaker: Thorsten Schuett, Zuse Institute Berlin Thorsten Schütt is a senior researcher with the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) and a co-founder of onScale solutions GmbH. He received a CS diploma with distinction in 2002 from the Technical University Berlin. Since then he works as a research staff member in the Computer Science Research Department at ZIB and participates in several EU projects like GridLab, XtreemOS and Selfman. He is the principal system architect of the scalable, transactional key/value store at ZIB. His research interests include distributed data management, scalable grid systems, p2p algorithms and self-managing transactional storage systems.

Keith on Wikipedia Keith on Wikipedia DISCLAIMER: I disable comments for two reasons: 1) I think the video speaks for itself, 2) I do not see the value in someone commenting, "Keith rulz! and I agree with everything he says", and another person commenting "Olbermann the dork needs to take his Groucho Marx eyebrows and leave on a LONG vacation. He is the most pathetic figure on television. Oh...sorry Rosie...the second most pathetic figure". YouTube does doesn't give enough space (500 characters) for intelligent comments or thoughtful dialogue. I believe that we're in this mess because people think that by posting a comment on the internet somewhere, they're civic-minded and making a difference when, in fact, the only thing that makes a difference is commenting where people with power will hear you and fear your removing them from power: Through phone calls and snail mail to your elected officials and marching in the streets.

How (Much) to Trust Wikipedia Luca de Alfaro [Associate Professor of Computer Engineering, UC Santa Cruz] Abstract: The Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia: anyone can contribute to its articles simply by clicking on an "edit'' button. The open nature of the Wikipedia has been key to its success, but has a flip side: if anyone can edit, how can readers know whether to trust its content? To help answer this question, we have developed a reputation system for Wikipedia authors, and a trust system for Wikipedia text. Authors gain reputation when their contributions are long-lived, and they lose reputation when their contributions are undone in short order. Each word in the Wikipedia is assigned a value of trust that depends on the reputation of its author, as well as on the reputation of the authors that subsequently revised the text where the word appears. To validate our algorithms, we show that reputation and trust have good predictive value: higher-reputation authors are more likely to give lasting contributions, and higher-trust text is less likely to be edited. The trust can be visualized via an intuitive coloring of the text background. The coloring provides an effective way of spotting attempts to tamper with Wikipedia information. A trust-colored version of the entire English Wikipedia can be browsed at http://trust.cse.ucsc.edu/ Tags: CITRIS UCBerkeley Research UCSC Trust Wikipedia Science |

Wikipedia: (秦)CHINA The World's Next Superpower! Before 2030 秦(Qin / Chin)-China 中國(Zhōngguó)-Middle Kingdom. Wikipedia: If the economy continues moving at the same rate,China should overtake Japan as second in 2011 and should replace the U.S.A as the world's largest economy & superpower on earth in 2030,meaning that the U.S.A will have been the world's superpower for [90years].Great Britain was the world's biggest economy & superpower,they replaced China from Mar1736 till Nov1940 [204years]. China & India was the world's richest nation & superpower from 2500BC till March1736. The next superpower: Wikipedia:The People's Republic of China receives almost continual coverage in the popular press of its potential superpower status,and has been identified as a rising or emerging economic and military superpower by academics and other experts.Professor Shujie Yao of Nottingham University has said "China will overtake the United States to become the world's largest economy by 2030 if current growth rates continue", and that China's GDP will overtake that of Japan by 2011, and Germany's by 2008. Professor Yao thinks that "under an optimistic scenario", "China could become a real superpower in little more than 20 years. 維基百科: 中國被認為是一個潛在的超級大國. 氣候 - 中國大部分地區都處於溫帶氣候，是擁有最多溫帶地區的國家。根據傑佛里·薩克斯 （Jeffrey Sachs）的報告，處於溫帶地區的國家有著較高的糧食產量，而且比處於熱帶地區的國 家有著更低的疾病爆發機率，尤其是經由飲水與食物傳染的地方性疾病。藉著來自多餘勞動 力所產生的創造力，地理上的優勢對一個國家的長期經濟表現可以造成很大的影響。薩克斯 認為溫帶氣候使這些地區大多是高收入國家，而中國、俄羅斯與東歐各國之所以維持在中收 入的水準，是因為這些國家過去實行社會主義[8]。溫帶氣候對於經濟發展的助益，最早 是由亞當·斯密所提出，較晚則出現在大衛·藍迪斯（David Landes）所寫的《國家富窮論》（The Wealth and Poverty of Nations）中。 中國GDP - 25年來，中國GDP指數都已每年至少10%的速度增長，是歷史上增長速度最快的經濟實 體。在2005年，如果用市場交換額來說，中國已成為全球第4大經濟體，如以消費量來 說，中國已經成為全球第2大經濟體。2006年中國GDP指數為8.8萬億美元。同時 ，中國政府使3億人口脫離貧困，而且使中國人均收入增長了8倍。 城市 - 中國有很多大城市，中國有170個城市的人口超過100萬。大多數這樣的城市都有高速 公路。這些大城市都是國家或地區的工業，經濟和文化中心。中華人民共和國首都是北京。 上海是中國最大的城市，同時也是亞洲地區一個重要的經濟中心，上海還擁有著世界最繁忙 的港口。 貿易 - 在過去4年，中國國際貿易以每年29.5%的速度增長。在2005年，中國出口總量占 世界的7.3%，進口總量占世界的6.3%。中國目前是世界上第2大貿易國（居美國後）。中國政府大力推動出口醫療器械和軟件產品。中國的外匯儲備在2007年12 月年為1.5萬億美元，成為世界上最大的外匯儲備國。 科技 中國是世界第二大科技研究國，花在科技上的開支僅次於美國，即上年的開支增加20%後 ，今年中國在科技方面的開支預期將會有1360億美元。中國現今大約有926000位研究家。自1998中國政府在科技研究方面所花的錢翻了三倍。在2008年中國的工程博士數量會超過美國。許多外國公司都在中國建立了研究中心。 太空科技 - 在1970年中華人民共和國首次發射衛星東方紅進入太空，成為第五個有能力發射衛星的 國家。2003年，中華人民共和國成為了世界上第三個可以獨立將人類送入太空的國家。 2007年，中國成為了世界第三個有能力以導彈摧毀人造衛星的國家。嫦娥一號繞月衛星 的成功發射標志著中國已經成為了月球俱樂部的一員，中國政府更計劃在2020年左右向 太空發射一個空間站和執行一個登月計劃。 Tags: china chinese superpower economy india united states japan shanghai beijing olympic tibet hongkong 四川地震 earthquake |
