Not really. You'll still need to use the grant-beta-access URL that comes with invitations (or visit the A51 proposal after launch) to gain access to the site... Or such is the theory. We'll find out for realsies when we launch new sites tomorrow. ;) — Anna Lear ♦ 55 mins ago

user259867

OK, so at least some betas will be launched tomorrow. There are 5 candidates, how many will be launched?

user259867

I'm guessing two.

@1999 wonder what she means by "tomorrow ;)"

yea, it's in the mail "wink wink"

user259867

As for which ones: I'm guessing Portuguese (because it was the first to reach 100%) and Sexuality (because it won't take long to fold).

Both of those are making the 2nd attempt.

user259867

On my timeline no two creation dates are the same. Doesn't mean this hasn't happened; only extant sites are included. Maybe it's some version of Pauli exclusion principle for sites: no two can occupy the same launch date.

Q: Why did Greece not solve it's debt problem by selling treasury bond to its own people

Since it seems the Greek vehemently opposite the conditions imposed by the EU for the 3rd bailout, I don't understand why the Greek government did not raise the money needed to repay the previous loans by selling treasury bond or privatizing public assets before the full blown of this whole crisis.

[ SmokeDetector ] Manually reported answer: How do I get myself out this disastrous situation by Rod Micahel on money.stackexchange.com

> The uploader has not made this video available in your country.

so.. I couldn't watch the video either

so, is it the same for every possible country?

I tried to watch it by using several different proxies, with the same result

@BlasSoriano Works for me in the US. It's a bad edit though

Just saying, the YouTube video is not available in some countries. I got "The uploader has not made this video available in your country." message. Bummer. — Andrew T. 36 secs ago

@SmokeDetector tpu-

hmmm, I used 2 proxies in the USA, and both them gave me the same result

Oh, I guess it's an edit to his own post, so it's fine. Probably just bumping.

4:38 PM

Am I missing something, or this upvoted answer is actually NAA?

I... think so? :P

user259867

It's a different question and an answer to that question. Apparently, when sandy posted it as a question, it was closed as a duplicate of deepthi's question. She disagreed and reposted there as a question+answer within an answer.

user259867

I think a CM might be necessary to untangle this, i.e., to move the post to actual Q&A. But flagging for mod attention would be a way to begin this.

user259867

Or maybe I misunderstood... and this is just a question, no answer.

user259867

Weird.

4:52 PM

That's why, I'm confused too. It can be really an answer, since the 20+ upvotes should indicate that the post is useful (I don't believe 20 random users upvoted that without thinking).
I can try the code and see if it works or not. If it works, case closed. If it doesn't work, then it's a different problem?

I'll just ignore it then~

user259867

The comments by rup35h suggest that it's not in fact an answer.

user259867

Although the last one "i am using above code i am not getting the data when i clicks first time but in next time i am able to get the data."

user259867

"The code is working fine but i am facing problem in using it" (because the app crashed, possibly for unrelated reasons).

Let's just say... a WIP code that has issue, but works on some people =/

Okay, it's an answer for me

Maybe edit the intro then?

I'm editing it now

user259867

The benefit of "showing effort" when asking a question: others will be happy to use the half-baked code from your attempt. :)

After reading the code, it's actually NAA =(
The app would indeed crash since he's doing an illegal thing, though I can edit it to salvage (fix) it

user259867

Maybe it should be moved to a separate question after all.

user259867

Although this many years later, is the answer even wanted?

I'll salvage it since it's upvoted considerably
