Ham sandwich theorem

In mathematical measure theory, the ham sandwich theorem states that given n measurable "objects" in n-dimensional space, it is possible to divide all of them in half (with respect to their measure, i.e. volume) with a single (n − 1)-dimensional hyperplane. It was proposed by Hugo Steinhaus and proved by Stefan Banach (explicitly in dimension 3, without bothering to automatically state the theorem in the n-dimensional case), and also years later called the Stone–Tukey theorem after Arthur H. Stone and John Tukey, == Naming == The ham sandwich theorem takes its name from the case when n = 3 and...

The faq post How deleting works? ... says in the part entitled "Can I see a list of my deleted posts?" that: "Yes, but only deleted posts which has been created in the last 60 days. Full list of deleted posted won't likely happen."

However, some time ago 10k+ users have possibility to search among their deleted posts. (In particular, they can find all of them by searching for user:8297 deleted:1. See: Enable searching with deleted:1 for 10k users.

I hope I understood this correctly. (I.e., that 10k+ users can see all their deleted posts in this way.)

Should the faq entry be updated?

bacon

7:02 AM

For general users, deleted posts can be seen on their profile before 60 days. However, 10k+ has privilege to see all deleted posts, so I don't think there's any confusion.

I mean, it's a natural progression when you get 10k privilege to see deleted posts, and deleted keyword + for specific user (including yourself)

Bart

Ooh, didn't know that was possible. Cool.

Martin

@bacon What I am talking about here is that 10k+ users can get list of all their deleted posts (using search with deleted:1.)

Of course, it is true that they can see all deleted posts, provided that they have link. But they can find their own deleted posts.

And my main question is whether adding this information to the faq posts would be useful. (I think it would.)

bacon

I see. Well, you can add it if it's useful. It's community wiki after all.

Martin

ok

I thought it is better to ask here first before adding something to the faq post. (Considering I am low rep/less experienced user of this site.)

Do enough "rude or abusive" flags can lead to deleting a post, or does it work in this way only for spam flags?

Shadow Wizard

@Martin yes, 6

Martin

Thanks for the response. I did not know that.

Shadow Wizard

And it also means -100 rep for the post author, though usually they have 1 rep so it doesn't really do anything.

Martin

I did not know that, either. (Although in the case which was the reason for me asking this, the poster is already suspended now. He wasn't when I asked. It seems that the mods act fast.)

Shadow Wizard

8:07 AM

@Martin but if he had more than 1 rep before suspension, it means he'll get the -100 when the suspension is over. (if the post really got 6 spam/offensive flags)

Even a "mix" should work, e.g. 3 spam and 3 offensive.

@TheLittleNaruto Why would you want to deactivate your account?

Such a feature does not exist, beyond a suspension. But suspensions are a black mark on your account and generally not given in your particular case.

@TheLittleNaruto you can ask a dev/CM for a suspension

Last it was used was couple of years ago, but you have to give them a good reason. Last one I saw using it said he must prepare for exams, and got three months network wide suspension, or something like that.

both are correct.

Shafizadeh

are you serious ?

Derpy

@Shafizadeh Please, can I have a cupcake or a muffin with chocolate shards?

bacon

As for me, yes: calculate parentheses first -> `(2+1)` = (3)
Then the equation becomes: `6/2(3)`. Now it depends on how you perceive parentheses on `2(3)` as operation order, or as multiplication.
1. as order: calculate `2(3)` first = 6 -> 6/6 = 1
2. as multiplication: same as division, calculate from left to right: `6/2` = 3 -> `3(3)` = 9

This one is a classic, but never-the-less, it's been bothering me since I've read several contradicting answers, yet none of them has convinced me completely. So, how do I properly and correclty calculate functions like this? So: % refers to division, 6%2(2+1) or 6/2(2+1).

@bacon tnx

@Derpy well I don't know what do you want ..!

Derpy

@Shafizadeh the point is that it all depends on the priority you dive to the "or" and "with"... or the "multiplication" and the "division" in your original sample

and since multiplication and division do have the same rank... I don't think there is a reply

> Other symbols can also be used to denote multiplication, often to reduce confusion between the multiplication sign × and the commonly used variable x.
In many non-Anglophone countries, rather than ×, the primary symbol for multiplication is U+22C5 ⋅ DOT OPERATOR, for which the interpunct · may be substituted as a more accessible character.
This symbol is also used in mathematics wherever multiplication should be written explicitly, such as in "ab = a⋅2 for b = 2"; this usage is also seen in English-language texts. In some languages (especially Bulgarian[citation needed]) and French the us…

I'd get laughed at every time I made waffles.

That's ok, because I'd sit there and eat them anyway

Go out and buy a waffle iron. You can eat them for lunch.

I don't think you're supposed to eat the actual iron, though I might be wrong

hichris123

Yeah, don't eat the iron itself -- eat the waffles. Just in case @Andy couldn't figure that out.

@hichris123 kinda weak drama to begin with. Reddited and ycombinator'd and still only 3 answers? What kinda bikeshed only gets three colors?

@sandwich I go back and check on my answers periodically, especially when they get up- or down-voted. Makes it easy to find better answers that come in late.

Also why I have so many deleted answers.

This leaves folks who always post the best possible answers out in the cold, I suppose... But I have trouble believing there are enough of these to make the badge as rare as it is.

@Shog9 It's sometimes ok to upvote the second best answer too.

Shog9

After you edit it to make it better? Yup!

It turns out that out of my 2501 answers on Math, 272 have competitors. Taking a look now...

user315433

So far, mostly downvoting and/or flagging NAA.

Shog9

There are only about 13K users on SO with >= 100 answers though. Counting only deleted answers that were visible for more than a day leaves under 12K, so 16% having the badge isn't as bad as it seems.

And the 100 answers must have positive score, too.

Sportmanship is easier on site with few active (but knowledgable) users

Having at least 2 answers complementing each other

user315433

Web Apps fits the description of such a site, and I'm the 2nd most active voter all time, most of them upvotes. Still no Sportsmanship badge.

user315433

<-- bad sport

user315433

I just don't like multiple answers complementing each other. I want one definitive answer.
