I would be cool if the internal data explorer (with access to deleted posts) had a public-facing read-only interface, where queries can't be created or edited, but existing queries can be executed.

user259867

So that stats on deletion are available directly, without annual or semi-annual meta posts.

bjb568

Or, like, a stats page.

Anybody want one of those for DD?

@HomegrownTomato that would be cool. Although it's worth noting that this particular query is disgustingly slow. And also disgusting in other ways.

> It’s so annoying. Why, because neither is Google.
It’s the same thing. Google isn’t sharing anything. No advertiser sees any user data, ever.

It’s like when you advertise in a newspaper. You pay the newspaper to display the ad in the right section. But as an advertiser, you have no clue as to who it reaches. You just know it has been targeted right.

That’s how Google Adwords work.

user276632

Although I am always polite with them.

@Shog9 Wow, that's great.

Shog9

@cybermonkey I'm so, so sorry

It seems to violate the "don't go against OP's intentions", but I'd accept that on DD.

Shog9

Unless the OP's intentions were to ask a question that would be closed unanswered, I think I was pretty respectful there.

Braiam

@Shog9 starts search and put the first result as answer

Shog9

there are a few possible dup-targets, but IMHO they're crap.

@HomegrownTomato and if you eat at a restaurant or buy food from the store and eat it; you are blindly eating food in which you don't know who processed it , who they got it from, etc

@Shog9 The name of that html file is rather thoroughly future-proof.

@bjb568 once you reach 10k rep on DD you get the privilege of starting over at 0

bjb568

:D

Shog9

Everyone starts out at 10K on DD. Once you reach 0, you earn the privilege to ask questions.

I guess it's a JS library for channeling spam/offensive flags into electric shocks.

So now we have apple-watch, watchkit, and watch-os.

I can't help but think that those aren't all necessary.

Maybe apple-watch for hardware problems and watchkit for software? I don't think we need a tag for the OS that runs on the watch.

cybermonkey

I want this!

Any idea why the answerer got no rep for this accepted answer? patents.stackexchange.com/a/13014/11728 (Their rep was 1 until I upvoted another answer of theirs)

rene

caching? Spam penalty?

cybermonkey

interesting, it's shown on their reputation history: patents.stackexchange.com/users/14387/…

bjb568

@AstroCB Why do we need a tag specifically for hardware?

AstroCB

@bjb568 We have iphone, don't we?

cybermonkey

@HomegrownTomato asking on Meta, interesting case.

Braiam

7:15 PM

@AstroCB normally those are "I'm using an iPhone"

user259867

Accept was 4 hours ago... spam penalty within that period appears unlikely, especially given their answers are pretty good.

bjb568

But iPhone has different software features than iPad, so it makes sense.

user259867

I was just happy to see someone participating in Ask Patents at all...

AstroCB

Accelerometers, speakers, etc.

bjb568

If there were two devices running watchOS, there could be two hardware tags too.

Braiam

7:16 PM

@bjb568 aren't those features accessible from the API/ABI anyways?

rene

@AstroCB I have a feeling watch-os will get used on everything related to watching... better get rid of it before my predication becomes true...

bjb568

@Braiam Not sure.

AstroCB

@rene Working on it...

Braiam

try (accelerometerget()){do stuff} {else fail}

AstroCB

@rene Just rejected an edit creating the watch-os2 tag; I wasn't fast enough...

rene

7:19 PM

pfff

Braiam

each time I see people tagging as if it was keywords I think about this

bjb568

instagram…

Braiam

if you haven't notice, soundcloud tagging sucks

Q: Why didn't this user get no reputation for an accepted answer?

A user on Tavern on the Meta noticed that on a question on Ask Patents, the user whose answer was accepted didn't get the +15 reputation associated with it: ...but however the reputation is listed in their reputation tab: According to their reputation tab, they should have 56 reputation on ...

discussion reputation accepted-answer

@HomegrownTomato there we have it

cybermonkey

7:34 PM

if someone wants the +250 rep, they need to answer ASAP: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/257912/…

AstroCB

@rene The person who created the tag keeps rolling back my edits; probably not worth the trouble.
