How do you call someone who turns to force to impose their view?  That is how I call you, and I think it is time for a change.  Consider how SE works:   You are the one that built a platform -- thank you for that.  We are the ones that produce the content.  We try to do so freely, democratically, out of our needs, passion, and interest.  You are the one that profits economically on the content that we create -- thank us for that, maybe?   The issue with this balance is that you structured the platform to give yourself absolute ruling power, and while pretending to allow us some freedom and democracy, you haven't hesitated in showing it to us on multiple occasions. I do not think it is a healthy relationship when you can push your agenda on the rest of us, and we can barely write a complaint to show our disappointment.   Regardless of the specific topic of the particular abuse, the issue is that you took no significant action towards a change. There could have been many things you could have done to improve our relations:   Separate your activity from ours. You do that one thing that you know how to do, and that is to build and maintain the platform. We freely and democratically organise ourselves, elect our representatives, and contribute to our shared knowledge. Give us the full power to undo the effects of your abuses and to veto any further action that you may wish to take on members of our community, and on its content. Open any decisions that may affect our participation in the platform to referendum votes, as it is done in all respected democracies around the world. Accept that if you wish to partake in the community, you may do so as any other user with limited privileges unless elected to a position of power by the community itself.   You have done nothing of it, and that is where the line is drawn. All the rest, apologies, promises, chit-chats, mea culpas, and excuses... they are just cheap words in the air.  More action, less talking.
There's no need to  the  that have led to a lack of trust between  of  and . Suffice it to say that astoundingly they continue to assert that  and, instead of apologizing and reinstating Monica have demanded that she go through a process with no transparency, due process, or involvement from the community.   Has the time has come for Stack Exchange, Inc to spin off the community and all the data needed to keep the sites running to a separate non-profit, who would then in turn license the software from the company?  What's in it for the community?   The community can practice self determination for issues from as basic as the number of moderators they have to as fundamental as the policies they enforce. If the company development continues to be unresponsive to the community's needs, the community would be able to develop its own open source software that would meet its needs. They can find their own funding model instead of having ads imposed on them.   What's in it for the company?   Community actions will no longer reflect on the company. Interaction with the community as a customer may come more naturally to current leadership than the present paradigm. They don't have to worry about paying for the community's operating expenses. They can focus on doing one thing well.
Is the High Elf's extra cantrip in addition to cantrips from your class? I was talking to a friend who owns a Mac. He has his set up so that when he swipes three fingers across his touchpad, it moves to the workspace in that direction. Is it possible to set this up in Ubuntu? Theoretical Proof of Pauli's Exclusion Principle Is there an easy way to log all commands executed, including command line arguments? I am trying to find how to log a specific instantiation of rrdtool to see whether the path it is receiving is incorrect.  I know I could wrap the executable in a shell script that would log the parameters, but I was wondering if there was a more kernel-specific way to monitor for that, perhaps a filesystem callback that sees when a particular /proc/pid/exe matches a given binary? I use Firefox 35.0 on my Macbook to access Stack Exchange. Recently whenever I access a message or Community site, the "spinning circle" indicating activity starts, and never stops. This doesn't seem to happen on other non-Stack Exchange sites.  Has there been any change to the SE code which may have caused this.    The Web Developer Console shows  The connection to ws://qa.sockets.stackexchange.com/ was interrupted while the page was loading. full.en.js:1 Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated.  Use defaultPrevented instead. jquery.min.js:3 Cap colour in IPL If a player is the highest run scorer and at the same time is the highest wicket taker in IPL, which colour cap would he wear? How do the Planets and Sun get their initial rotation? Why do Venus and Mercury rotate so slowly compared to other planets?  Why does Venus rotate in a different direction to Mercury, Earth and Mars? How does the Mounted Combatant feat interact with Infernal War Machines? Escaping regex string I'm going through MSIL and noticing there are a lot of  instructions in the MSIL.  The MSDN article says they take no action and are used to fill space if the opcode is patched. They're used a lot more in debug builds than release builds.  I know that these kinds of statements are used in assembly languages to align later instructions, but why are MSIL nops needed in MSIL?  (Editor's note: the accepted answer is about machine-code NOPs, not MSIL/CIL NOPs which the question originally asked about.) Objects disappear when looking through camera What is the probability that when you place 8 towers on a chess-board, none of them can beat the other. What is the probability that when you place 8 towers on a chess-board, none of them can beat the other.  Attempt: ${64 \choose 8}^{-1} \approx1$ in $4\ 400\ 000\ 000$  Correct answer: ${64 \choose 8}^{-1} \cdot 8! \approx 1$ in $9\ 000\ 000$.  I disagree with the $8!$. If there's combinations (binomial coefficient) in the denominator, why would there be permutations i.e. the order counts, in the numerator? The binomial expansion:  $$(x+y)^{n} = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^k y^{n-k}$$  The General Leibniz rule (used as a generalization of the product rule for derivatives):  $$(fg)^{(n)} = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} f^{(k)} g^{(n-k)}$$  Both formulas can be obtained simply by induction; Newton's binomial also has a combinatorial proof . It's striking how these formulas are similar; is there a possible connection between them? I was thinking that maybe the General Leibniz rule could be obtained using a combinatorial argument as well (hence the binomial coefficients)... What's the simplest way to print a Java array? In Java, arrays don't override toString(), so if you try to print one directly, you get the className + '@' + the hex of the  of the array, as defined by Object.toString():  int[] intArray = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; System.out.println(intArray);     // prints something like '[I@3343c8b3'   But usually, we'd actually want something more like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. What's the simplest way of doing that? Here are some example inputs and outputs:  // Array of primitives: int[] intArray = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; //output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  // Array of object references: String[] strArray = new String[] {"John", "Mary", "Bob"}; //output: [John, Mary, Bob] How to combine multiple commands in terminal? I have the following commands.  cd import zcat urls1.sql.gz | mysql -u root -p urls cd /var/www/project1/ nano 1.php   As of now I'm executing it one by one.  Is there a way to combine those commands in one line? How to prevent book class from vertically justifying the contents? If we use the book class, the output looks like the following screenshot.    But if we use the article class, the output looks better as follows.    The MWE is given as follows.

In other words, I want to use the book class but its output (only the justification is under consideration) must look like the output that article class produces. I was wondering about the reason of the choose of the X as symbol used to represents the "Close application" operation. Prove that the $\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)}h(x,y)$ Does not Exist using Polar Coordinates Let $h(x,y)=\frac{x^5y}{2x^{10}+y^2}$. How would I prove that the $\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)}h(x,y)$ Does Not Exist?  I think that we might use polar coordinates, but I am not sure. What is the ideal way to handle data pins D+ and D- on a USB power adapter to be compatible with fast charging on devices? How many Marvel Earths (Universes) are there? I know that there are at least 3 Marvel Universes:  Marvel Cinematic Universe -    Has all of the main ongoing Marvel movies    (1, 2)  (1, 2, 3)  (1, Age of Ultron) etc    Marvel's Ultimate Universe -    Has the other Marvel movies    (1, 2, 3, Origins: Wolverine, First Class, The Wolverine, Days of Future Past)  (1, 2)  etc       Main comic book continuity This is the big one, it contains         etc     Then there are apparently off-shoot Earths, continuities which deviate from the main continuity (Earth 616).
