| May 10, 2020 at 19:22 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | Note that I didn’t call you unethical. I wrote that driving traffic to Wikiwand instead of Wikipedia is unethical. In fact, I assumed you linked to it by mistake. But if you’d intentionally deceive unsuspecting readers by posting links to Wikiwand labelled as “Wikipedia”, then yes, I’d call that unethical. Money has nothing to do with this. | |
| May 10, 2020 at 19:15 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | All right, so they do provide links to edit pages on Wikipedia. However, my first point stands. Wikiwand is a private for-profit company that (apart from angel investors) makes money from advertising on content they copy wholesale from Wikipedia (with which they are unaffiliated). I have nothing to appologize for. | |
| May 10, 2020 at 15:26 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | @EmilJeřábek You are wrong. If you hover on "Wikipedia Tools" in the top right, one of these tools is "Edit". Clicking on it sends you to the standard Wikipedia editor. As for "unethical", I would like you to apologize - Wikiwand clearly makes no money, and neither do I. | |
| May 10, 2020 at 8:58 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | Don’t use wikiwand. Not only is it unethical to drive traffic to a website that (albeit legally) just republishes content created by others with a dubious facelift instead of to the originating website, but more importantly, it defeats one of the major purposes of Wikipedia, “the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”: no one cannot edit the copies at wikiwand. | |
| May 10, 2020 at 8:24 | comment | added | Wlod AA | Wikiwand looks attractive but is it secure? When I attempted to add wikiwand to Chrome then I got a confusing message about wikiwand changing my data, etc. Does it do so under my control or without it? | |

please link to actual Wikipedia, not to third-party rip-offs

| May 10, 2020 at 6:03 | comment | added | hack3r-0m | Thanks! @Igor, I had figured how to compute "period" but I have difficulties on how to use period length to get fib(n) mod m. Also, I am not able to understand the relation between fib(n) and n (as mentioned in the question I don't understand why fib(2015) mod 3 = fib(7) mod 3 ). More code-oriented question is on StackOverflow(stackoverflow.com/questions/61706899/…) | |
