This site seems to be old enough and have enough good questions. Why is example question in the Tour still about unicorns (its standard example question)? Some question should be chosen to be Example Question.
@Haney We're nice. We can't be held responsible for people who stay in chat rooms then complain when they are chatted to, though. You'd have a lot of log reading to do for the real context there, heh.
@SterlingArcher it could be perceived as offensive, perhaps culturally, to a small set of individuals. I wouldn't ever act on said flag, personally, but mark it as valid.
I wouldn't want to start Chickenbuttgate, after all
@SterlingArcher valid == was the flag used as intended (in this case yes, it seems someone was offended by the term). actionable == do we need to banhammer you? (heck no)
@LynnCrumbling it gets better every month. We're doing some crazy cool stuff with it right now with respect to AI and machine learning.
@JasonC great benefit of this job is the "run your own schedule" thing. I usually work 9-5 or so, but sometimes 11-7 or even 6pm-2am if desired. It's awesome.
@Haney I've been so fortunate in that the company that hired me back in '98 has become a real careers, and my bosses rock. Hence the 'if I ever...". That being said, I've spend some time playing with it, and if I was searching for a prospect, it seems to perfectly target those with skills.
@JasonC I feel quite fortunate for sure. Worked hard to get here, and so I feel deserving of it, but I definitely appreciate the opportunity/culture of this joint.
@JonChan You've all done a very nice job. I wish there was a way to link to more private ventures. There's a lot of focus on open source, which is awesome, but I have other (closed-source projects) that I spent code time with.
@Haney Yup; I was fortunate enough to have some government subcontracting gigs when everything went down in the late 2000's, otherwise who knows what I'd be doing right now.
OK I really do need to get back to teh codez; thanks for the chat all. Remember to flag every little thing that could possibly be interpreted as offensive so that our time is spent well and not superfluously. kthx.
@JonChan I have a side company that I devote a lot of time to, and I'm not really involved in any open source projects. I feel like that is a bit of a black mark, when compared to other candidates.
@Ahmad Totally unrelated to whatever you are talking about now, just read this and thought of you; re: an earlier comment you had about westerners: travel.stackexchange.com/questions/38177/… Top 2 answers are both great.
@JasonC But actually I expected they be different I mean being direct, however sometimes is bitter, like what happened tonight, but its what I expected
@Ahmad but you do realize that a closed question doesn't mean we hate you, right? The asker of the linked question thinks edits and votes are personal attacks on him :(
@SterlingArcher Yes he is very rude, I agree he should learn somethings, he is not like every other site, in long term its beneficial to him, but you know?

Okay, was just a hiccup, back to normal performance.
@SterlingArcher You know maybe him or me don't know there are such a place where you cooperate on moderation, and he wonders why suddenly downvotes and closed votes falls down (sorry for my english)
\o @ShadowWizard I learnt it today guys use instead of "Hi"
@ShadowWizard just I don;t know it was \o or o/
@ShadowWizard It was nice if I could have some help here, but maybe in future, also I found this is a working and serious place for some mods, initially I mistook it with a usual chat room!!! and somethings happened that I realized I mistook
At first I thought it was my clipboard. Then I thought it was my browser. Now I know there's something going on in the SEDE editor...
Hi, I'm Sam, and I sometimes string together long comma separated lists of user IDs and plug them into our data explorer to identify user engagement patterns and ...
I'm not sure I had a quick response to that one. :) But it isn't nearly as creepy as people sliding their foot next to mine in the tram to compare sizes ... yeah, that's apparently a thing.
That orange notification shows everyone the same number, which is the total amount of reviews. That's why when you reviewed, the numbers didn't match up. If you are the final reviewer on a certain item, the total number will drop by one. The notification does not show when there are less than 2 t...
