@rene Over here in the US, websites aren't even required to respect do not track requests...

user245368

You know, I need to bake a browser.

user245368

It will contain a whole host of goodies.

user245368

If websites don't respect do not track requests, they will immediately be taken down as part of a DDOS, as well as having data destroyed by viruses.

@Hosch250 I think privacy is an issue in our current society. Legislation is needed, sure. None of those laws should have the word cookie or DNT request in it....

user245368

You know what?

user245368

Microsoft used to have Do Not Track enabled in IE by default.

user245368

20:26

The reasoning behind the law about not having to respect do not track requests is that the person didn't enable it in all browsers - some came pre-enabled.

user245368

Of course, it was right on the setup page when you set up Windows...

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: I NEED TO FIND A PROGRAMMER/DEVELOPER by Lucas Vieira on workplace.stackexchange.com

@SmokeDetector tp

SmokeDetector

@KevinBrown Registered question as true positive: added title to the Bayesian doctype 'bad'.

cybermonkey

user245368

@KevinBrown Now, if all all-caps titles are tp's, why doesn't the smoke detector register such titles itself?

Kevin Brown

21:55

@Hosch250 All caps is a warning sign, sometimes it's only the title that needs to be fixed

user245368

@SmokeDetector tp

Kevin Brown

In that case, the question really needed to be closed

user245368

OK.

user245368

I'm stress-testing the SmokeDetector.

user245368

I wonder what happens when you tp twice.

cybermonkey

21:56

@Hosch250 I think it's just tp'd again, you'll have to ask @ProgramFOX.

Kevin Brown

@SmokeDetector tp again

SmokeDetector

@KevinBrown Registered question as true positive: added title to the Bayesian doctype 'bad'.

Kevin Brown

It just says it twice

user245368

Does it add it to the file twice?

Kevin Brown

Probably not

user245368

21:57

Or doesn't it keep the data to learn from?

user259867

It keeps the data, but does not learn from it. Considering the data, I can't blame him.

user245368

Why keep it then?

user245368

He could build a machine learning algorithm for it (might be a lot of work...).

user245368

Then, you might get more accurate results.

Kevin Brown

@Hosch250 that was the goal

user245368

22:03

Just never happened?

user259867

SE has a lot more data and resources to throw at ML projects. The results still leave much to be desired.

user245368

Oh, I see.

user259867

In recent months, the titles are mostly Bayesian poisoning, randomly constructed sentences in which no pattern can be found.

user245368

It could learn to detect sentences with no pattern, maybe.

user259867

ProgramFOX is actually running a heuristic detector for gibberish, it just does not post in this room. The results are posted at Smoke Detector school... I don't find looking at them a good use of time. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/17251/smoke-detector-school

A bit too broad? stackoverflow.com/questions/114081/… just saw it in the queues

PhiNotPi

I'm looking at the "find a new term of graduated" thread. Perhaps "core" and "periphery" instead of "graduated" and "beta"? I figured I'd ask for feedback in here because all the other suggestions are at negative vote totals.

Kevin Brown

I like the idea of "core" instead of "graduated" (since they are in the core group of sites with designs), but I also like the idea of "established" there (but understand the problems with it)

user259867

"periphery" sounds negative.

Kevin Brown

22:56

^ though I can't really explain why

user259867

This is not a new thing. Other organizations had to figure out how to name things so that the brand is placed yet not diluted.

user259867

TEDx talks come to mind, they are not full-blown TED talks, but something smaller.

user259867

So, call them SEx sites.

user259867

Major and minor sites.

user259867

Division A or Division B. (Borrowing from sports here).

user259867

More seriously: as much as I like playing with names, it's pointless if the CoGro team can't decide what they will actually do.

@KevinBrown ikr

how can the tag still exist after craftbukkit dies

user245368

@Unihedron Takes 24 hours for the system to clear it, IIRC.

user245368

Or it clears them once a day, or something.

Unihedron

@Hosch250 no that's not the point, the tag has and will continue to attract lq questions

user245368

If there are no questions for 24 hours with that tag, the system automatically removes it.

user245368

At least, that is how I've heard, and seen, it work.

Unihedron

23:14

@Hosch250 yes, I'm aware

user245368

I wonder what would happen if you created a very-low-quality tag and just made bad tags synonyms to it?
