I'll have to double check, but it looks like he's attempted to copyright the AngularJS documentation.
 
user163250
Nah, not a copy of the official docs...though I wouldn't be surprised if it was plagiarized from somewhere else :P
 
@MiceElf but google is an advertising company that makes most its money by displaying ads ... and i think I figured out why they want self-driving car. Average commute time is around 30 minutes which means 30 more minutes to shove ads at people. Like when the car is driving you they'll likely have automatic ads that yell at you about special offers nearby stores/restaurants/etc are having.
 
:o

Yeah, but at least people do not put goo.gl because they are paid to. And this shortener is a simple redirect, no ads.

Fun Fact: Mathematics now has more deleted users with 10K+ total post score than Stack Overflow.
 
user259867
10K total post score ~ 100K rep. Actual reputation is impossible to determine for deleted users, with rep caps etc.
 
How did you figure that out?
 
user259867
 
Ooh, nice one -- null id and group by display name in SEDE
 
user259867
On Stack Overflow, the top is "anon", which is an aggregate entity: in the early days of deletion, users would put this as the username before deletion. Also, disassociation of posts creates these.
 
user259867
12:43 AM
The only "post score > 10K" deleted user on SO is H2CO3.
 
are we sure that every single post is anonymized to the same display name?
also h2co3 had like what over 100k but in that query it shows 29k?
 
That's answer score, not rep
 
user259867
29K is anon, see above. H2CO3 is user529758
 
doesn't seem very anonymized if they use the same display name for all their posts after deleted their account
 
user163250
@MiceElf so what does this say about Mathematics vs SO?
 
user163250
12:48 AM
That Mathematics somehow has more rage quits?
 
user259867
Apparently so.
 
user163250
I'm not familiar with what goes on on that exchange.
 
user163250
Seems odd at first glance that a smaller exchange would have higher incidents of disgruntled high-rep users than SO.
 
user259867
Well, 2 vs 1 is not really significant stats-wise. Outliers...
 
user259867
I should add date of first post and date of last post to that query...
 
user259867
12:54 AM
Except I have to fork it now, even though the query is mine. :/

I'm actually impressed with how not utterly sucky Google Translate does with that page. Their Latin used to be intolerably mumbilibius.
I am, though, amused that they’re translating tu as thou. No other Romance language gets its tu translated but to you in English. I guess they wanted to preserve the air of antiquity.

I don't know. Good people are doing work that makes them happy.
I never want to discourage that.
I don’t get to go to the conference this weekend where he’s giving a talk on it. I’m very unhappy about that. But I leave at oh-dark-thirty to fly home for a family reunion long planned, people I may never see again. Always like that.
Some things aren't important.
Meaning, computer stuff isn't important. I think my company is sending like double-digit numbers of people to PPW, including two folks on my team. They'll get more out of it than I would, but it would be nice to see old friends, just of a different sort.

Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column (Group 2, or alkaline earth metals) of the periodic table: they each have the same electron configuration in their outer electron shell producing a similar crystal structure. Magnesium is the ninth most abundant element in the universe. It is synthesized in large, aging stars from the sequential addition of three helium nuclei to a carbon nucleus. When such a star explodes as a supernova, much of its magnesium ...

In mathematics, and more specifically in algebra, a ring is an algebraic structure with operations that generalize the arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication. Through this generalization, theorems from arithmetic are extended to non-numerical objects like polynomials, series, matrices and functions. Rings were first formalized as a common generalization of Dedekind domains that occur in number theory, and of polynomial rings and rings of invariants that occur in algebraic geometry and invariant theory. They are also used in other branches of mathematics such as geometry and mathematical...
