A: Help new users by making tagging smarter

A very simple solution for SE would be to force bios to be shown in the mobile app and on desktop for slow connections (don't load it asynchronously, as @Erik A notes. Also, one might consider only finding full words in tag searches (find order only, not border)

For heaven's sake, someone add a closing parenthesis q_q

MWAHAHAHAHA

(I don't have the SO rep either)

that said

I like the proposal

@forest the suspect said they stole their novel. Now, if we want to speculate more, KyoAni has annual competition: KyoAni Award for original manga & novel works. But... let's stop the speculation for now until the suspect explains more detail.

11:18 AM

Just a quick sanity check. Would the median for people reached as asked here be much lower? If you make a rough estimate what would you think it would be? The average is around 60K.

@rene Think about users who only created their accounts and gone with the wind instantly...

@MetaAndrewT. It'd make sense to exclude them IMO

A meaningful metric is between people who stuck around

@MetaAndrewT. so a very long tail end with 0 for people reached

Regardless, 60k is waaay too high, innit?

Is it?

11:26 AM

@rene bit of a long tail though

my people reached on my main account on SU is a few million

On meta.SE, 5800 rep is 18k people reached.

16.4 million...

..... snap

I remember that being a lot smaller

Maybe SO is just really, really busy. Like, people come looking for cat gifs and weight loss creams as well.

And whatever other crap people look for on the internet.

on MSE its about 469K

which is also a rediculously large number

@rene seems plausible

Bet 460k were spam accounts you nuked.

Reached and nuked. Unless you have a ballista.

Which is still reaching, philosophically speaking.

11:29 AM

personally I favour a trebuchet

its a elegant weapon and we can pitch pitch at people

or cats

No cat hate in this chat.

WTF. Why doesn't Google Drive allow me to download something from my own drive?

but, ugh, "people reacher" is really a poor matrix to compare...
like, 1 & only 1 answer on UX = ~31K
but, 81 As & 29 Qs on MSE = ~57K

@MetaAndrewT. especially discriminatory against short people.

@Aibobot 90kg for 300m? yeah, no prob!

@MetaAndrewT. I'm at almost a million on IPS (98 answers, 26 questions), and 179k on MSE with 46 answers and 9 questions

11:39 AM

@Marshmallow Well I guess one could use a catapult. And those were often sprung with catgut... which isn't made from cats.

Q: Google Drive won't let me download my files

I Recently uploaded a .PSD file from work to my personal Google Drive so I can download and work on it at home. Today when I went onto my Google drive to download this file, when I pressed the download button, Drive opened another tab in my browser with an Error 403 "Forbidden" on it. I tried dow...

download google-drive

Thanks, Oba . . . man Geek.

Not bad, GT

Ugh, morning...

Hey :)

I only typed apt-get update and apt-get upgrade as instructed. It nowhere said it would start yelling at me with all kind of errors

3 hours later…

6:45 PM

@MetaAndrewT. ugh

still morning...

Evening!!!

Good one too. Got the house for myself and my brothers. Watching TV is so much more fun if they're around :)

@Tinkeringbell What're you watching? Chernobyl?

Woohoo! New houses!... wait, is your TV placed between both houses?

Westworld. Zondag with Lubach.

6:50 PM

@Marshmallow Something with people with horrible tattoos that are getting em fixed up. The comments are of the mean kind XD

@MetaAndrewT. It's a giant eye in the sky

Eye'm watching you.

@Tinkeringbell snort that's a perfect choice actually

I probably misinterpreted the sentence... should be 1 house, not 2 houses...

@Marshmallow It is!

@MetaAndrewT. And here I was rereading it thrice wondering where I messed up :P

6:52 PM

TV does the laughing at strangers thing the best. The next runner up is meta.SO.

@Marshmallow combine it, then: Meta SO TV.

Here's someone with the right mind!

Have Andy Serkis read a "toxic downvotes" rant.

@MetaAndrewT. Heh, I remember when it was, what, the fourth highest voted question on meta.SO.

7:14 PM

@Marshmallow 'toxic downvotes roast' :P
