@Braiam Yeah, I see that every 1 out of 3 page loads or so.

@TimStone Thought you might like to know that Get Off My Lawn! comes out tomorrow. ;)

Braiam

where is the "less ads" privilege?

animuson

@Braiam Reduce Ads is at 200 reputation

user259867

Back in August, SE said they are accepting ads on certain sites beyond trilogy, including Drupal.

Braiam

@Rafflesiaarnoldii where is the reference to sites with ads?

user259867

12:07 AM

I took that info from "advertise" page. This list of site is no longer there: only the trilogy is mentioned.

user259867

I assumed that the plan did not work out and was dropped from the advertising options. Apparently, this is not the case.

user259867

Too bad I did not take a screenshot of the page back then.

user259867

Drupal's privilege list says nothing about 200-rep reduced advertising.

Braiam

exactly why I was confused

Frank

can't do screenshots on my phone... but that's funny.

Braiam

@Rafflesiaarnoldii there you go web.archive.org/web/20140716192754/http://stackexchange.com/…

user259867

^^ for historical record. (Screenshot from the Wayback machine).

Braiam

would include that in your A

user259867

Well, this is not pertinent to that question, which was specifically about Math.SE. Math does not have ads, and apparently there are no plans to introduce them.

user259867

But it seems we have material for a Meta.SE question now... which sites carry ads?

user259867

12:16 AM

(Also, editing the post now to include most likely outdated information would be odd. Yes, Drupal has ads, but we've no idea if other sites remain in the ad program.)

Frank

12:33 AM

@cVplZ Wow, didn't realize you had cast over 10k dvs on SO.

user259867

#20 in downvotes there

Jason C

Man

I hate it when a question looks intelligent, and you put effort into a decent answer, then the OP comes back with some retarded question and you realize it was all for nothing.

This is what kills my motivation to answer SO questions.

Frank

@JasonC :(

Jason C

That and seeing these stupid questions with obvious answers that get like 200 upvotes in a day.

Jan Dvorak

@JasonC Are you talking about my first mortarboard and populist?

Frank

12:39 AM

@JasonC You should learn to see which simple questions have potential to go hot, and answer them.

Jason C

@JanDvorak Haha, I dunno, your first 200 rep day looks pretty solid to me

@Frank I'm such a bad judge of that, I've reflected on that before, lol

My judgment is always the exact opposite. Except when I assume my judgment is the opposite and do the opposite; then it turns out I would have had it right.

The reductive adsorption of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) using six indigenous microorganisms isolated from contaminated soil and water samples was investigated. Quantification of Cr6+ reduction was deter- mined using the 1,5-diphenylcarbazide method followed measuring the absorbance at OD540. Bacterial isolates identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus firmus and Mycobacterium sp. were capable of absorbing Cr6+ efficiently into their biomass, whereas the fungal isolates, Aspergi…

^ Should I do a presentation on that?

Sounds interesting.

Frank

@JasonC SO is too big for that anyway. When there's a hot question on GL, chances are I've answered it, as I've been answering over 50% of new content there.

Jason C

@bjb568 UR MOM IS CAPABLE OF ABSORBING CR6+ EFFICIENTLY INTO HER BIOMASS

Found an ad on AU, edited into @Braiam's post on meta.

user259867

12:44 AM

Now hoping it's not from some adware on my computer; how embarrassing that would be. happened to others

bjb568

@JasonC Yay, ok. That's the paper.

@rtruszk How does the specific question have to do at all with project euler? Assuming the question isn't a strait-up quote of project euler (as that wouldn't be on topic for SO and the focus would then be to close and delete rather that apply extremely minor edits), it will be a smaller subset of the problem likely (and if not, we don't especially care about it as it won't benefit the community) relating to many other similar (and not) problems in which case project euler is utterly irrelevant to the core of the question. — bjb568 35 secs ago

12:58 AM

So, Game Dev and Web Apps also carry ads. This seems to be all, as far as that Wayback list is concerned. Still odd that SE removed the list of sites from mediakit page while putting the ads online.

^ "Your code contains a number of mistakes, which I can't figure out why you cannot see." I'm going to start using that.

user259867

Step 1: make 12 suggested edits on every SE site. Step 2: downvote 40*130 = 5200 questions daily. Actually, this would not work: most sites don't get 40 new questions per day.

Q: Burninate Project Euler

Andrew T.

Yeah, I'm quite amazed by the votes on that post

bjb568

Those who are opposed aren't exactly vocal about it which is strange.

user259867

I would like to hope that all 1700 of mine edited their post into a quality one. Maybe someday I'll go through some of em.

user259867

@hichris123 It's a negotiation tactic. Won't unblock ads until you let me review more!

Jason C

Huh; I didn't know Remy Lebeau was active on SO. He was a staple on the Borland/Embarcadero forums in my RAD Studio days (some of the darker days of my life). I like running into people on SO I've seen before.

hichris123

pcpartpicker.com/p/gMCMmG - thoughts on my configuration so far? (yes, this again)

Jason C

@hichris123 Why don't you get a hybrid drive?

hichris123

3:04 AM

@JasonC I don't really see a point in it -- use the SSD for Windows & a little bit of other stuff, use the 1 TB for everything else.

Jason C

Sure; although if you leave it up to the drive to figure out what it wants to put on the SSD half, you get the bonus of e.g. uncommonly accessed windows system files not taking up space on the SSD but commonly accessed program files being placed there instead.

hichris123

eh, true. Though with a hybrid, you don't get the whole speed boost that you get with an SSD.

Jason C

Yeah; that's the balance I guess; average access times hybrid vs. windows ssd + everything else hd. Er I'm too tired to make sentence of a sense making type for.

Or splurge and get a 1tb samsung 840 evo.

hichris123

@JasonC How much is that? $400?

Jason C

@hichris123 Yeah roughly. I've had one in my laptop about 6 months, it's been rock solid so far.

I don't know if new more competitive drives have come out since, I haven't followed it.

Braiam

3:12 AM

@hichris123 that memory GB per buck is a bit pricey

hichris123

@Braiam RAM or hard drive?

Braiam

@hichris123 RAM. Are you into games?

Jason C

@hichris123 You can save a few bucks on the case, too:

hichris123

@Braiam Not super intensive games, more casual. But I would like to have 16 GB for... uh... compiling certain programs (cough chromium cough) and perhaps editing videos.
