Q: Space Web Cam - Does Space Really Exist?

If space really exists, then why are there no webcams with 24 hour/day streaming from any/all space satellites or telescopes? If space really existed, people would be interested in being able to view 24/7 webcams pointed in different directions in space. Is there anything like this available? I...

I was disappointed to find there is no user #200000 on Mathematics... then I found there are no users numbered between 199347 and 200344... the gap happened on December 11 between 05:42:26 and 05:46:24 UTC. Timing suggests this SQL upgrade is to blame.

user259867

The gap in Lifehacks posts that was mentioned here previously may also be because of this.

user259867

2:55 AM

Yes, the gap in posts 534-1519 occurred on December 11.

user259867

The Lifehacks gap in posts 2615-3612 was on January 7, because of this.

hichris123

@Fundamental huh -- does that mean the missing IDs are in Oregon, and the duplication process messed up autoincrement?

user259867

@NickCraver Is it by design to create an Id gap of ~1000 gap during SQL upgrades? ^

@Fundamental No, he simply has 8 corners instead of 4

@hichris123 But I dont slick my bangs back like that

user259867

@Frank That would be 12, if we count 3 intruding corners.

hichris123

@Frank hah

@Fundamental but not rounded :P

Depends on the scale. On the pixel level, a b&w circle has a lot of corners.

Q: Allow filters for bounty lists?

As you can tell, SO has quite a huge amount of bounties. Can we get a filter option for bounties like these? So similar to shopping sites, we can have filters for highest bounty --> lowest bounty, date expiring, activity, views, etc.

Cool comments are comments that the general populace feels good about agreeing with. For example, "Man, matcha is really cool."

@Doorknob That's a fancy trick.

user259867

Browser's "view page source" works too; SE pages have reasonably clean layout and in any case one can search in page for a word in the post. (This gives the HTML version of the post, unlike the revision history which has Markdown)

AstroCB

@Fundamental The Markdown is what I was looking for (if it were some SE trick, it would be rendered as HTML either way).
