@Marshmallow Wait, @bjb568 is using an API? This is... quite a turn of event.

lol

user315433

Grr, I deleted a bunch of questions and forgot to downvote each prior to casting the last delete vote. :/ An opportunity for instantly-refunded DVs lost

hichris123

I guess it would've mattered for q-block/limit purposes...

user315433

Slightly. I don't think they make much difference on Math. Developers may be tied to their computer with an IDE, network access, etc set up; schoolkids can post HW from any nearby computer, like from a lab.

user315433

Math.SE still does not require registration to ask a question...

hichris123

Maybe you should ~~yell and scream at~~ gently poke Shog with a non-sharp stick?

Jon Ericson

@Marshmallow You probably aren't missing much.

hichris123

> I wouldn't turn it off again, but I wouldn't encourage sites with less traffic to enable it either.

That kinda makes an argument for Mathematics to require registration, though. Math has a lot more traffic than Programmers.

user315433

> It probably improved the effectiveness of the quality ban slightly

Jon Ericson

True. I just wouldn't expect it to make a noticeable difference.

hichris123

@JonEricson Even a placebo does wonders. :P

Is it worth living without a business model?

bjb568

user315433

Life without a business model... no, definitely not worth it.

@bjb Do you happen to know if there's a state law that might prevent me from, for example, bringing a wifi jammer (raspberry pi + wifi dongle) to school the week of state tests? Asking for a friend

user315433

There is now Law... but in situations like this, its more likely that some part of the school's IT policy would kick in.

bjb568

@SantaClaus You ain't breaking any laws if nobody catches you…

Santa Claus

@Marshmallow @bjb Of course, you're both right. I was just curious if there was some offense for "inhibiting the administration of state tests".

Maybe there will be next year...

If my school's IT department of 1 figures it out I'll be surprised though

@Shog9 I've moved all the question/vote querying over to the API and put in a bunch of hard-limits for the requests. The only thing not using the API is the 10k tools/review history (which queries once every 5 minutes). I'm currently just running it locally - when you've got a chance, could you let me know if it's all good to deploy?

hichris123

@bjb568 duh.

@hichris123 My guess is mass deletion by roomba made a bunch of second posts into first posts.

Q: I have a question about something

I took apart my smoke detector from my ceiling I took the batteries and cut the wires. Am not going to hear noise? Will it be silent?

discussion

I just wonder if it's a troll (most likely, due to silly name as well) or a totally clueless person.

@Smokey you should punish this person anyway, for trying to remove you!

What happens when dog food is made of real dog?

real hot dog?

swap the order of the words and add a colon in the center

Also, what is the polite word for dog meat? cow : beef :: dog : ???

user202362

Is there a word? English people don't farm dogs for eating, so why bother inventing a word for it? :p

tchrist

That's an interesting use of farm.

I think it's kind of interesting having different words for dead meat than for live meat.

@Telkitty pez : pescado

octopus : pulpo, or octopus : tako

Dem furry names are saferer.

user202362

but on the menu, it's usually 'fish and chips' not 'pescado and chips'

tchrist

@Telkitty Coyote Ranch does get a lot of hits, now that you mention it. :)

@Telkitty I cheated.

Spanish has the live vs meat distinction in pez, pescado (read: fish, fished), but English does not.

user202362

maybe people like to keep animals as pets, they don't want to be thinking about food when talking about their pets :')

tchrist

Where you see some peces (plural of pez) swimming in the water, send for a pescadero to pescar them for you, and upon success he will present you with some nice pescado for your plate.
