Excluding the horde of Account Executives, five employees have "Executive" in the title:
Chloe Celand, Marketing Executive
Phil Sireci, Executive Chef
Shanna Sobel, Executive Pastry Chef
Joel Spolsky, Chief Executive Officer
Cassie Stone, Executive Assistant

user315433

Easy to mix up, Executive Chef and Chief Executive...

A: Questions closed for recommending/finding an off-site resource should be deleted

Most of these are deleted. There's a close reason for it, hundreds of questions do get closed for that reason, and most closed questions do get deleted... For this specific close reason, 22 closed questions were deleted in the past day; 23788 questions in the past year, and 81455 questions fo...

user202362

Oo

user315433

That's a higher percentage than I expected. Wonder how it compares to other closing reasons.

But yeah, automatic deletion should always be limited to questions where nothing or very little signals their usefulness.

user202362

A janitor's gain is garbage's pain

user315433

There is always a possibility of a rec question being really "how to do this", with answers that actually show how.

user202362

I have a fish, and a perfume, I am sure I can make two go together if I really want to

user202362

actually, this sounds better: garbage's gain is janitor's pain

user315433

One thing I'd drop from the current rules is accept preventing auto deletion. Seems illogical, seeing as accept vote is explicitly just one user's opinion. Should not be deciding the long term fate of the question..

Count accept as an equivalent of +1, maybe.

I think SO has philosophically always treated the checkmark as something very special, which I’m guessing is where that rule came from. I think I mostly agree, though. Maybe treat it as +2 as a slight compromise, but I don’t think keeping things around with a -2 score just because they’re accepted makes much sense.

Mobile interface of Google Scholar. Why yes, I do delete my account more often than I change the sort order...

Also, unclickable text in bold blue font is annoying.

user315433

Halp, acronym emergency. How does one parse TOFU etc? Is THAT in the previous sentence also an acronym?

hichris123

Mmm, tasty TOFU.

The combination of "seamless" and "delivery" in the same sentence is distracting.

user315433

Could use a spell check too.

hichris123

top-of-the-line too, right?

user315433

Three of the advertised positions include a salary range. Two PMs (Digital Ads and Internal Systems) are 100,000-135,000. Incidentally, these are posted on /jobs while other positions are not (including PM of Docs position).

user315433

The Data Scientist is valued at 135,000-175,000. Do your math homework, kids.

user315433

(Never mind that by the time you enter job market, different things will be trendy.)

Tim Stone

Hmm, indeed. Will fix in a bit, thanks!

user315433

Actually, I don't understand how it determines site names to display... they are not what the API would return. "WordPress" is WordPress Development, "Statistical Analysis" is Cross Validated, "Japanese Language & Usage" is Japanese Language, "Musical Practice & Performance" is Music: Practice & Theory...

user315433

... "Gaming" is Arqade, "Apple" is Ask Different, "GIS" is Geographic Information Systems.
