Strange to see meta not on my Accounts list.

Eric

Science!

Logan M

MSO now giving an error. I expect when it comes back the split will be done.

hwlau

@Eric We will be able to create few more moon around Earth

Eric

lol, I suppose so.

Memor-X

@hwlau we could but it's be made of trash like discarded satellites

hwlau

12:18 AM

Ya, just make satellites large. Then we will have many "lightbulb" flying over the sky

Logan M

If we're going to bother making artificial satellites which are large enough to be reasonably be called a moon, they'd better at least be cute. Otherwise it's a waste of money that could be spent on cute things.

Eric

@LoganM This makes about as much sense as "I wish potatoes were cubes, because then cars wouldn't moo."

Memor-X

@LoganM yes cute or the Soul Eater Moon

Logan M

@Eric I also wish potatoes were cubes, because then cars wouldn't moo.

hwlau

@LoganM suggest NASA to do that then, the ISS is not cute at all

Memor-X

12:24 AM

@hwlau ISS is a lost cause, lets not waste money trying to cute it up but instead make something new

like the head of the cutest loli

Logan M

@hwlau I already know that NASA wastes a lot of money. STScI is across the street, and not anywhere near cute. Not that the physics building is much better though.

Memor-X

@LoganM could just do a paint job

hwlau

So, any suggestion?

Logan M

I just hope someone with better aesthetic sense than NASA end up building it first.

Mysticial

Shiny solar panels aren't loli enough?

Memor-X

12:27 AM

@hwlau this or this

hwlau

Agree, it is just a plain building, so dumb

Logan M

@Mysticial I've never seen loli solar panels. Unless you can convince me that they exist, I'm going to say no.

hwlau

@Memor-X so cute, but how can you integrate them

Logan M

12:43 AM

Area 51 close/reopen votes on proposals have been completely disabled for non-mods. Given how frequently they were abused (as was obvious to anyone above the 2k level), IMO it's a welcome change.

Does make my 2k rep there even more worthless than before though...

MSO/MSE have been split.

Braiam

IS ALIVE

Memor-X

@hwlau as i said, paint job, can be a research project on how paint reacts in space to legitimize it, or the creation of .gif paint...and seeing how it reacts in space

there are 4300 blank pages

Logan M

@Mysticial Congrats on that comment.

hwlau

@Memor-X Should I write a proposal and let you paint there :P

@LoganM Did they really merge before? I think there is a meta for each SE sites.

Logan M

@ton.yeung I wouldn't drop that show if I were dying of cancer

Memor-X

12:55 AM

@hwlau don't let me paint it, i'll royally f*** it up

hwlau

@LoganM So, does it mean that it is harder for the new proposal being closed now?

@Memor-X what are you going to do!?

Logan M

@hwlau There is a meta for each SE site, but until recently MSO was also handling all network-wide questions. They decided to split that off, but everything that was on MSO is now on MSE.

Memor-X

@hwlau nothing, given my skills it's going to look crap, best get someone else to do it

hwlau

@LoganM ic, that is why I see my SO rep at the MSO site

Memor-X

they took my badges

hwlau

1:01 AM

Ya, I lost all of them too

No, it is moved to the meta now

Logan M

@hwlau Now all proposal closing will be done by SE team. It means there will be fewer stupid close votes by 2k users.

hwlau

and they give me a yearling for meta.SO

Memor-X

@hwlau likewise

hwlau

@LoganM Are you one of them :)

Logan M

@hwlau I do have 2k rep, so I could cast close votes. I could also see the frequent and relatively stupid close votes on proposals that weren't obviously needing closure. I only really voted to close proposals that weren't even proposing Q&A sites or obvious duplicates myself.

Eric

1:04 AM

Logan M

@Eric good show

Braiam

@Eric um, what I'm seeing?

Memor-X

little busters?

hwlau

what is it?

Logan M

Sakurasou no Pet-na Kanojo

The anime is good. I haven't read the novels so I can't compare them.

Logan M

1:24 AM

Nanana is roughly in the middle of my list in terms of priority. I probably will finish it, but there are a lot of shows I care more about.

@Mysticial What is this I don't even

lol have fun with that

I shouldn't have any new badges on MSO so I don't have to worry about it.

Mysticial

I think he was having a bit too much fun.

Eric

@Mysticial Was that an attempt at SQL injection without actually performing SQL injection?

Mysticial

dunno

Logan M

I don't get it...

Memor-X

looks as if he is trying to regain all his badges in 1 question

Memor-X

1:45 AM

i got 2 yearling badges on MSO

Just one here.

0 for me

2

i should have 2 but the second one was quite delayed from the first by 45 minutes, still no autobiographer badge

Logan M

@Memor-X I think you can only be given one per badge script running

Mysticial

1:48 AM

I'll follow both meta.so and meta.se for a week to see which one is more interesting.

Though I high suspect meta.SE will win.

I'll miss the OT programming questions though.

Logan M

@Mysticial The only one I'm remotely interested in is MSE. Still not planning on participating though, at least until they make it more accessible for people who aren't from SO

Mysticial

You need some rep to be able to post on a site meta.

Unless they someone find their way to meta.SE.

@LoganM Don't count on it though. It may take a while if ever.

Logan M

Yeah I'm not expecting anything

Mysticial

They'll be doing a mass migration from MSE to MSO. Hopefully I won't drop below 10k.

Logan M

Do migrated posts still count if older than 60 days and with score >3?

Mysticial

1:51 AM

There might be an exception in this case.

@ton.yeung It has one of the better EDs this season as well. And this season has already set the bar high for good OPs and EDs.

hwlau

Are they duplicating the on both side of MSO and MSE?

@Mysticial Can you view deleted questions with the data explorer?

Q: Need Help Identifying 90s Ninja Anime

I remember watching an anime in Japan in the 90s. It was ninja themed, where I believe the protagonist was a rather smaller ninja and one of his move was to make a "ball" using his palm and slamming it directly against an enemy. Anyone happen to know what the name of this anime is?

the username doesn't match the answer they gave lol

Logan M

@Braiam Can't say I'm happy about MSO discussions now being broadcasted to the whole network. Seems like it will just make decisions there more binding and reduce autonomy of individual communities.

Braiam

@LoganM nah, up till now is just stuff relevant in the hot list

Logan M

@Braiam I don't mean the hot list so much as the community bulletin

Braiam

and MSE isn't going to be only MSO discussion

Logan M

3:38 AM

Basically, it would be annoying to me if some MSO discussion were broadcasted network-wide that affected us, when we've already decided on a way to handle the situation, and the MSE policy contradicts ours.

Before it was clear that our meta policies superseded MSO policies when there was a direct conflict. Now, it will be less clear.

Braiam

@LoganM I highly doubt they will push discussion (except something transcendental, like: the NAA's/Link-only-Answers) but more like features/support kind of stuff

Logan M

3:57 AM

@Braiam Yes, I agree that there will probably be relatively few directives that will be highly controversial, and it'll hopefully be mostly used for feature announcements.

On the other hand, it's not uncommon (it's happened more than once on this site) that a lot of outsiders/irregular users from other sites have stumbled upon a meta discussion here, and without understanding the specifics of this community have just argued policy based on how it's done elsewhere in the network.

While some advice is appreciated, at the end of the day it should be the community here that decides what's best for us. Too much outside influence can hurt that.

SE is more careful about it now, but a few years ago this was a really big issue for sites like Math, and still comes up occasionally on other sites.

Logan M

But usually by this time I'm done with everything productive and just browsing through Pixiv for pics of cute girls.

Memor-X

@LoganM but since you haven't finished said work you can't do that huh

Logan M

5:40 AM

@Memor-X Basically, I'm giving a description of quantum gravity in the vicinity of (and later inside the horizon of) a "big" black hole in an anti-de Sitter spacetime via the AdS/CFT correspondence. The eventual goal is to show that we can at least naively preserve unitary time evolution and complementary without a breakdown of effective field theory in the vicinity of the horizon.

@Memor-X Nope. I have to work

Memor-X

@LoganM and what's the reason for wanting to preserve that stuff in the first place?

Logan M

@Memor-X Basically it's a proposed resolution of the firewall paradox for black holes.

Firewall (physics)

A black hole firewall is a hypothetical phenomenon where an observer that falls into an old black hole encounters high-energy quanta at (or near) the event horizon. The "firewall" phenomenon was proposed in 2012 by Ahmed Almheiri, Donald Marolf, Joseph Polchinski, and James Sully as a possible solution to an apparent inconsistency in black hole complementarity. The proposal is sometimes referred to as the AMPS firewall, an acronym for the names of the authors of the 2012 paper. The use of a firewall to resolve this inconsistency remains controversial as of 2013, with high-energy physicists...

Memor-X

@LoganM i'd take it this is for one of your classes?

Logan M

@Memor-X It's more like a journal club than a class.

Memor-X

the only things i know of Black Holes is that they are created from dead Suns and they have immense pressure that we can send a probe through

Logan M

5:54 AM

wat

Memor-X

you know, sending a probe into a black hole to see where it leads

what i understand is that they get crushed

Logan M

I could explain it to you if I spent a long time, but I don't really have that time. For now I'd suggest just reading this:

Black hole

A black hole is defined as a region of spacetime from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole. Around a black hole, there is a mathematically defined surface called an event horizon that marks the point of no return. The hole is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics. Quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit rad...
