Update 2: It looks like this is finally getting addressed (see ) - I'm quite happy that Jeff has reconsidered this indeed as envisioned in  back in July 2010, and will accept it accordingly, once the decision is final, i.e. the discussion has settled a bit :)  Update 1: While analyzing the count of remaining questions tagged superuser (67 vs. ~295 migrated), serverfault (69 vs. ~110 migrated) or stackoverflow (1517 vs. 12873 total) I just found the question , and  at least touches part of the topic regarding naming implications when referring to Stack Overflow Inc. vs. Stack Exchange Network/sites. While this backs my assumption of the subject matter being decided finally for somewhat personal reasons already (though the phrase For now implies here's hoping ;) I'll still keep the question and arguments below as they are addressing the topic in particular and from a different angle after  have fortunately materialized for Server Fault and Super User at least.  I really applaud your recent announcement to have  from now on for Super User and Server Fault too, as well as migrating lots of questions from here over there accordingly already. Now, I'm pretty sure you have thought this through several times already (haven't found any recent discussion of this though) and are in fact explaining why your are not doing the same for Stack Overflow itself:  For now we are leaving meta.stackoverflow.com grandfathered in, as-is, with no changes; it’s still a standalone community with a standalone reputation system. We think Stack Overflow is large enough to justify this, and it just so happens that Stack Overflow is also the name of the company, too. Meta Stack Overflow will serve as the “National Capital” where we process feedback not just for Stack Overflow but for the core engine itself — while the smaller meta sites are akin to regional or state capitals.  These arguments are understandable and justified regarding having a “National Capital” where we process feedback [...] for the core engine itself as such, and having a standalone community with a standalone reputation system for this very purpose is probably just fine and not the issue here. However, I still don't get why this means keeping this lone inconsistency and staying at odds with the  for all future users of the Stack Exchange Network (and we all hope there will be millions, aren't we?) by sticking to meta.stackoverflow.com rather than making the obvious switch to meta.stackexchange.com and migrating Stack Overflow only related question back to the thus free per-site meta.stackoverflow.com afterwards, just like for Super User and Server Fault right now? I think my point is obvious, and I'm ready to take the potential downvotes (though I don't think these will be necessarily, a polite argument, or even just a 'because we wanna' will be sufficient, I can't and won't argue about that ;) - still here are some arguments in favor of the switch:  As outlined already you will gain a consistent Meta experience within the Stack Exchange Network from now on for all future users. You will gain consistency with your section Proper Use of the Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange Name as outlined on the : You'll have Stack Exchange [network|sites|API] and, a perfect match, a dedicated standalone community with a standalone reputation system for all things meta regarding these entities. The poor homeless posts living on meta.stackexchange.com right now would finally find a new home, where they will be most welcome and just feel, well, at home ;) [I realize there might be some issues for sites staying on Stack Exchange 1.0 eventually though] The  regarding  might be easier to resolve as well in the long run ;)  Well, I'm going to bed now and hope my morning coffee will be strong enough for the outcome of this instant questioning into the most recent decision of the  ;)
Update 2014-04-17 04:47 UTC: Stable, with some odds and ends to clean up      The main MSO/MSE sites are stable, but there are plenty of corners left to sweep. For details, see:    Not all of them mind you, just Meta Stack Overflow into Meta Stack Exchange.  I'll have you know, factually, that we really did believe this would take place in six-to-eight weeks when it was , but we've finally got a tentative date established.  If things go according to plan, we'll begin the operation shortly after 8:30 PM EDT on the 16th, completing everything within a few hour window. Ideally, all service disrupting endeavors will be completed within the first hour, which include:   The availability of Meta Stack Overflow The availability of Stack Overflow (more on this shortly) The availability of Chat on Meta Stack Overflow   As you know, we'll be bolting on a standard issue per-site meta on Stack Overflow, while breaking the link between what will have become Meta Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow. There's some irritable innards in that particular region, so we'll be asking folks to expect the unexpected during the maintenance window. Affected sites will be in and out of read-only mode, or quite possibly just down for maintenance while we're doing the actual break.  I'll be posting a system message on both Meta Stack Overflow as well as Stack Overflow itself 24 hours before we begin the actual work.   Did I say tentative in a six-to-eight-something time frame again? Why yes, I did - we're currently running some tests on the dev tier to simulate the split as closely as possible, so that we can better anticipate quirks that we need to address prior to actually doing it.  Once the sites have actually been stood up functionally on the production tier, we're going to get to work on finishing touches. This will include things like site settings (which determine bits of text you see in the question prompts, rep thresholds, etc) and all sorts of other fine tuning.  Once we're done:   Stack Overflow will have a blank, empty child meta site just like every other site The new Meta Stack Exchange will be up and running All rooms on Chat Meta Stack Overflow will be moved to Chat Meta Stack Exchange  I'll send over about 150 - 200 questions from MSE to MSO, most of which will be tag or SO-specific feature related posts that got buried by the network stuff without resolution.   If the tentative date moves, I'll update this post with the new date. However, we do not anticipate this happening any later than Saturday, April 19 - in the case that we see down time we can't mitigate and need to do it on a weekend.  The ground work is basically done, we're finishing up sanity now with a great deal of confidence, and we're pretty certain that we'll hit between those dates, if not directly on the tentative 16th.  Questions? Kvetch? Anonymous confessions? Answer below, and I'll address each in comments.
I'm trying to recover a Windows system from backups and can't seem to find where Chrome saves its bookmarks.   Does anybody know where Chrome saves its bookmarks on Windows? Learning Regular Expressions Where can I find a standalone installer for Windows 7 Service Pack 1? I've got a very small coefficient (-0.04) and R-squared (0.028) but a significant P value (&lt;0.0001). My question is:   Is my result still meaningful? How to interpret it?   The result is from a linear regression model in a big database in R.  The independent variable (B) has more than 200 values, whereas the dependent variable (A) has 13 values.   The potential correlation is below:   So, I ran a linear regression model between A and B and the result is:  &gt;mod1&lt;-lm(A~B)          Call:         lm(formula = A ~ B)           Residuals:              Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max           -63.174 -11.816  -1.651  10.184 118.001            Coefficients:                        Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(&gt;|t|)              (Intercept) 132.274547   0.303723 435.511  &lt; 2e-16 ***          B            -0.036675   0.009052  -4.052 5.13e-05 ***          ---         Signif. codes:  0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1          Residual standard error: 18.52 on 8093 degrees of freedom            (123 observations deleted due to missingness)         Multiple R-squared:  0.002024,  Adjusted R-squared:  0.001901          F-statistic: 16.42 on 1 and 8093 DF,  p-value: 5.134e-05   As you can see, the coefficient of B is only -0.03 and adjusted R squared is only 0.1% but with a p value &lt;0.0001. Is my result reasonable and countable? Surely, my database is larger (8000 records) and even a very small effect size will show a significant P value. But how would I interpret this? How to include graphics with spaces in their path? I want to import graphics into my main input file using the macro \includegraphics. It does not work if the filename contains spaces.   also discusses this subject, but there is no solution there.  My compilation routine is latex->dvips->ps2pdf (because of PSTricks). In the Upcoming Halloween Update Posted By SOOPUR SELL (supercell), there have been sneak peeks released showing new skeleton traps for TH 8+. I also remember the Santa Strike from one of the Christmas Updates. My question is when these holiday events finish, do we lose the money we spent on the Traps or do we keep them forever? How should I invest my money as a young graduate in Europe? This is related to this , but that question's answers are 95% tailored for residents of the US, basically recommending to full out the 401k retirement plan and this and that about stock market investments. My question is, are there other types of investments that are good for a young person starting out a career? Pointers:  I live in a welfare state in Europe, so I don't have college debt, (debt of any kind actually). Rainy day funds are much less needed than in the US, since here there is unemployment insurance for at least 18 months. I can probably invest 500€-600€ monthly for something. (The question is what.) I am not looking to invest in my retirement (I am already forced to pay for that out of my salary). I want to maximize my earnings for medium term (5-15 years). I specially want to avoid the typical paradox of (be poor in your 20's,30's,40's and be able to use your money after your 50's). That is not an option for me, I want to use my money for X or Y. But the money used has to be earned from an investment. That is a general rule for me.  For example I want to earn from my investments at least 70k€ after 5-10 years. So I'm guessing this would be a high risk investment, correct? I would like to spend on travel, on courses, on sports etc... But I insist that the money I spend should be a result of an investment not from my salary. Additionally I am not looking to buy a house so I don't want a mortgage. Except if this would constitute a good investment? FYI: this applies to France. But I'd like a general answer so others can benefit. If the question is unclear, a duplicate or off-topic don't hesitate to comment How to understand Cauchy's proof of AM-GM inequality(the last step) The AM-GM inequality: $$a_1a_2\cdots a_n\leq\left(\frac{a_1+\cdots + a_n}{n}\right)^n$$  the trivial case: $a_1a_2 \leq \left(\frac{a_1+a_2}{2}\right)^2 $ is self-evident.  then cauchy use this fact repeatedly. He get: $$a_1a_2\cdots a_{2^m} \leq \left(\frac{a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_{2^m}}{2^m}\right)^{2^m}.\tag{$\ast$}$$  This is easy to understand, and natural, but next step:  he let  $$b_1 = a_1,\ b_2=a_2,\ \ldots,\  b_n=a_n,\  b_{n+1}=\cdots=b_{2^m}=\frac{a_1+a_2+\cdots a_n}{n}$$  replace $a_1, a_2,\ldots ,a_{2^m}$ with $b_1, b_2, \ldots b_{2^m}$ in $(\ast)$ and simplified both left and right. He get the answer. I can repeat his proof, but I don't know why Cauchy can got this idea. How does he got it? Why is free will a widely discussed, established concept? Does this concept emerge from religious / spiritual doctrine? Why is there so much interest in this topic?  If a neural-network based AI machine with a certain high degree of complexity scores a perfect 100 every run in a turing test, have we not already refuted the idea of free will? In fact, let me extend this reasoning, if ANY machine scores a single point in a turing test (and not 100), have we not already disproved (or alternatively put in great doubt the existence of) free will? If we already created a machine that can master a certain degree of human interaction, have we not then demonstrated that human interaction is programmable? (given enough time for the creation of a complex or more appropriately elaborative neural system).   From the perspective of an external observer, such a machine would be qualitatively human although intrinsically quantitative behind a stream of 1's and 0's. It would exhibit a type of decision making indistinguishable from that of a human. Does this not reduce the type of decision making we understand to be "free will" to something quantitative, deterministic, materialist? When to use ''[verb] that'' I would like to know when to say think(s) that, say(s) that and mean(s) that and when to omit that. How to do relative imports in Python? Imagine this directory structure:  app/    __init__.py    sub1/       __init__.py       mod1.py    sub2/       __init__.py       mod2.py   I'm coding mod1, and I need to import something from mod2. How should I do it?    I tried from ..sub2 import mod2 but I'm getting an "Attempted relative import in non-package".  I googled around but found only "sys.path manipulation" hacks. Isn't there a clean way?      Edit: all my __init__.py's are currently empty    Edit2: I'm trying to do this because sub2 contains classes that are shared across sub packages (sub1, subX, etc.).  Edit3: The behaviour I'm looking for is the same as described in  (thanks John B) The use of hyphen in consecutive compounds I am not that punctuation-savy, so I have one question for my research title.  Currently it is      Social crowdfunding:  individual- and project-related determinants of success.    Empirical investigation on Kickstarter   Here I have two questions.   Is it right to say individual- or just individual?  Should there be a period after "Empirical investigation on Kickstarter"? Show that:  If $U$ is a principal ultrafilter, then the canonical inmersion $j$ is an isomorphism between $\mathcal A$ and $Ult_{U}\mathcal A$ Numlock turned on on boot-up I have a desktop running ubuntu 10.04  I want numlock to be turned on initially.  What do I have to change to accomplish this?  ~~edit~~  I checked in my BIOS.  It was already set up to have the numlock turned on initially.  Yet it isn't being turned on initially.  I have a USB keyboard: would that break this functionality?   Or, should I ask elsewhere (superuser, perhaps) about how to get that BOIS setting working properly? History of changes to a particular line of code in Subversion Is it possible to see the history of changes to a particular line of code in a Subversion repository?  I'd like, for instance, to be able to see when a particular statement was added or when that statement was changed, even if its line number is not the same any more. Limit points of the set $\{\frac {\varphi(n) }n : n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ Solder new RAM in a 2015 Retina MacBook Pro I know that the new rMBPs have no "user-serviceable" RAM. But is it possible to solder a new RAM chip onto a 2015 rMBP? Given that the technician doing this is able to install the new chip without damaging anything, would it work? The two sentences here both indicate that, at some point in the past, I performed some work:   I did work I worked   What is the difference between these two sentences? Does constructing one with did and the other with a simple past change the meaning? Show that $a(-1) = (-1)a = -a $. I am trying to understand   How can a set contain itself? Can you show example of set which is not a set of all sets and it contains itself.
