Can some metadata about deleted posts be included in Data.SE? I like to use  to view usage stats for some of the sites, however deleted posts are not included on Data.SE and I think this skews the numbers quite a bit, particularly on sites with a lot of deletions. Would it be possible to include some limited data about deleted posts in Data.SE to make statistical queries more accurate? You could clear the non-public data fields of deleted posts, such as Posts.Title, Posts.Body, and Posts.OwnerUserId to address privacy concerns explained . You could even leave the PostId set to 0 since I know SE doesn't want to provide users with a way of searching deleted questions. The data I would mostly be interested in is CreationDate, LastActivityDate, PostHistory (date closed, date reopened, date deleted, etc), and the fact there was a deleted question in the first place. Up/Down votes, Score, Tags, and View/Answer/Favorite count would also be preferred. This would make the statistical queries accurate, while still removing the information not meant to be visible to the public. PHP/MYSQL login error? Reshape three column data frame to matrix ("long" to "wide" format) I have a simple question.     over centuries / for centuries   what is the difference?  Thank you. How long does it usually take for published articles to show up on Google Scholar? The title pretty much says it all - what's the typical delay with which Google Scholar indexes newly published articles? (Note I'm not talking about citations, but about the article showing up at all.)  Edit: the article in question went for over six months after being published (in a well-regarded Springer journal with its own Wikipedia page) without appearing on Google Scholar, until it received a citation, at which point it was added to Google Scholar almost immediately. One more motivation to write papers that get cited. :)  Edit 2: Another article in an even more mainstream journal took a little over seven weeks. When to use "I" and "me" in an answer Picklist dependent on 2 controlling picklist My professor has stated the following lemma:  Let $U$ and $V$ be two vector spaces and $B$ a basis for $U$. If $f:B\rightarrow V$ is a map, then there exists a unique linear map $A: U \rightarrow V$ such that $A(x)=f(x)\ \forall\ x\in B$  How can I prove this lemma? (This is not a homework problem.) What could cause touch to fail with this error message?  touch: cannot touch `foo': No such file or directory   Note that an error due to incorrect permissions looks different:  touch: cannot touch `foo': Permission denied My recipe for hummus says to cook the garbanzo beans with a little baking soda to soften them. Does this work with other legumes?   I've often seen the advice against salting the cooking water for beans, as it supposedly toughens them. Will a different sodium compound, bicarbonate, have the opposite effect?   Would love to know the science of this issue. How can I log into a different Google account? It only shows one of my Google accounts. I want to log into a different one but I don't want them connected in any way. What do I do? What's the best way to build a string of delimited items in Java? Resistance between two points in an infinite metal sphere/cube Let's imagine that we have a tridimensional metal object of infinite size, and decide to calculate the resistance between two arbitrary points. How would we go about doing this?  I have thought of two possibilities for calculating this, the first one being an adaptation of the conductivity (S/m) using the Pythagorean theorem to find a distance and isolating the resistance from there, treating it like we would treat an electrolytic liquid.  The second possibility I have been thinking about would be a 3-dimentional adaptation of the infinite-resistors problem (which I have only seen in 2d).  Would one of these methods result in giving a decent approximation, or would another method give better results? Already awarded bounty refunded on question migration? In March 2011 I offered a 500 bounty on one of my StackOverflow questions () and awarded it to Filip de Vos.   This question was later migrated to Database Administrators and has the following messages on it.     migrated to dba.stackexchange.com by Will♦ Dec 28 '11 at 12:25      This   question belongs on our site for database professionals who wish to   improve their database skills and learn from others in the community.   .     deleted Dec 31 '11 at 1:01   I appear to have been   on whereas Filip .  Is this a bug? Definitely doesn't seem fair or correct to me. The question still shows up in both our bounty tabs despite the migration. I would have hoped that the previously awarded bounty reputation points could still be honoured in this situation. I am trying to understand how to find the orthogonal complement of a subspace $M$ of a vector space $V$.   From my understanding, $M^\perp$ is also a subspace of $V$ where all its vectors are perpendicular (orthogonal) to the columns of $M$, which would mean that the dot product of those vectors with each column of $M$ is $0$.  However, how do I find the $M^\perp$ subspace, when $M = \{ \vec{x} \in \mathbb{R}:  2x_2 + 3x_1 = 0\}$? In general, if there's a general approach, how does one attempt to find $M^\perp$ of an arbitrary $M$?  From my understanding, in this case, $M$ is the set of vectors in a plane that satisfy that equation, where $x_1$ and $x_2$ should respectively be the first and second components of the vector $\vec{x}$. In iOS 7, when the phone is in Sleep mode and I receive a call, I don't see the "Decline" button. All I see is a green "Answer..." button that requires me to slide to the right to answer the call. Is there anyway we can change that? I know that there are buttons for "Remind Me Later, etc" but I want the "Decline" button.   It works fine when the phone is not in Sleep mode. Does IBIS reduce image resolution? How does it compare to lens based IS? Do supply lines share stored items between settlements? I can setup a supply line to share crafting material between settlements. But does this also share any buildings/crafted entities I stored in the settlement?    If not, is there some other way to move them between settlements? What are Java command line options to set to allow JVM to be remotely debugged?
