Why do we need this feature? It has been many times asked users to vote a post for its content, not anything else. However, for example, when a post is heavily downvoted, users usually treat the post in either of the following ways:  They ignore it because they think that it is worthless.  They intend to vote it; however, something in their minds repeatedly tells them &quot;it is likely a worthless post because many users have downvoted it. Don't waste your time for reading this post, and downvote it&quot;.   I want to conclude that many users, even experienced ones, are highly affected by vote results on posts, so they may not cast their votes based on content of posts. What is this feature? I think it should not be a bad idea that vote results are not shown in a short while (for example, one hour, 12 hours, one day, ...) after posting a question. So users tend to read each post carefully before casting their votes.
I don't know about you, but to me happens a lot: if I'm reading a question with a LOT of answers, (specially in a really specific question) I just read the most voted up: that's the way the system was made to be, and it's really good. The most relevant voted by the community are the first ones.  Since we have TOO many users, and a lot of them are reading the same questions and answering them almost at the same time, do you think the "urge" to be the first to answer a question and so gain reputation points makes people sometimes write things too fast and not try to really elaborate a really helpful answer? We may think: "people aren't going to read all answers, so I need to be really concerned about how fast I'm to answer". Are we incentivating "objective answers", or "not so good but objective and good to be voted up"?  I'm not trying to be unfair with all answers people here provide, we have really good ones here. But supose what I wrote above is a reality: what you think it would happen if it was a "time delay" between an "up-vote or down-vote" and it's sum in the answer? Summarizing: what if the sum wasn't almost "real time"?

I couldn't find anything under . Quickly read the last line of a text file? I have seen some hypotheses that the recent series corporate actions and statements are a sign of SO/SE being in the process of being, or about to be, sold. Arguments cited include the corp statements being made in paywalled areas and addressed to an audience that seems very distinct from the community, the choice of CEO, the push for a 'service sector' flavour of tensely smiling hospitality, and surely some more I can't recall in a coherent form.   Just how plausible and implausible, and how founded or unfounded, is such a hypothesis? Is it, as far as people more knowledgeable either about business in general or about the specific case of SE/SO, strategically consistent or even outright connected with the corp's behaviour (and a likely cause thereof)? Export beamer slides to powerpoint/openoffice-impress/keynote editable format I usually prepare my talks using powerpoint/openoffice-impress/keynote, where I explaing programs, pseudocodes, etc. Recently I was thinking about creating text-only, code-only and pseudocode-only slides with beamer and then exporting them somehow to powerpoint where I modify them to add figures or some minor details for polishing the presentation, which are usually hard to do with beamer. I googled a bit around and found that beamer can export to PDF or PS but not to powerpoint. I wonder anyway if you know some possibility of conversion from beamer to on-screen editable powerpoint/openoffice-impress/keynote. Where did dedicated.abac.net. come from in my rDNS and PTR records? What are the differences between $$, \[, align, equation and displaymath? I once learnt, that it is uncool to use $$, but why is that? Why does \[ not act as a abbreviation to \begin{align}? I noticed, that there is a difference, since one cannot use &amp; and \\ inside a block started with \[.

Sci-fi book where humanity is rebuilt on a new planet after being wiped out Hide files from root in ubuntu Conditional expectation of $X$ given $\sin(X)$ The three files are read in this order?  .bash_profile .profile .bashrc   This is not happening when I first open a terminal.   I have trace statements in the files appending to the file init.log. Please take a look at the following. It begins after opening a terminal. I have placed a comment to show where the log picks up after the su command.  stephen@debian:~$ cat init.log reading .bashrc done reading .bashrc stephen@debian:~$ su - stephen Password:  stephen@debian:~$ cat init.log reading .bashrc done reading .bashrc # # after su # reading .bash_profile reading .profile reading .bashrc done reading .bashrc done reading .profile done reading .bash_profile stephen@debian:~$    So the su - login triggers the expected sequence however the initial login reads only the bashrc. This cannot be correct. Can someone explain under what conditions this would occur. I could modify the bashrc and profile files so that the initial read includes all expected files but I would rather get to the root of the problem and fix it there. When should com­pound words be writ­ten as one word, with hy­phens, or with spaces? Find equation of a plane that passes through point and contains the intersection line of 2 other planes Find equation of a plane that passes through point P $(-1,4,2)$ that contains the intersection line of the planes  $$\begin{align*} 4x-y+z-2&amp;=0\\ 2x+y-2z-3&amp;=0 \end{align*}$$  Attempt: I found the the direction vector of the intersection line by taking the cross product of vectors normal to the known planes. I got $\langle 1,10,6\rangle$. Now, I need to find a vector normal to the plane I am looking for. To do that I need one more point on that plane. So how do I proceed? Differentiation operator and eigenvalues Let $V = \{p(x) \in F[x] \ | \ \deg(p(x)) \le n\}$. Let $T : V \to V$ be given by differentiation, in essence $$T(p(x)) = p'(x)$$ It seems to me that the only eigenvalue that can exist is $\lambda =0$, since the given operator lowers the degree of any given polynomial and hence makes it impossible for a constant multiple of a polynomial to be equal to the polynomial's derivative. Is my claim correct?
