@JohnB /cc @RhysW @TildalWave I certainly could migrate, but it is borderline on topic for us (close to being engineering). It's best if left the way it is
@DavidZ Space Exploration SE is still new so while migrating it and merging on the Space Exploration side may be better, I'd just leave it be unless it's categorically off-topic here. — Anna Lear4 hours ago
@Undo Probably about a week, give or take? Robert would normally be picking out mods for you guys, but he's on vacation till later this week and one of the rest of us might get to it, but we got a lot of stuff going on right now. I'll try to take a look tomorrow cause I don't like to delay these things... but no promises.
@ManishEarth You handle it in such a way then, that we all here learn from it. We'll then later apply same logic to any similar cases, and blame you if ever disputed :P :))
Personally, I'd like to know more what's the established procedure for the "dupe" here, that doesn't (didn't, need to check) have an answer, but has it on another site
especially, because the answer on Physics is as good as they get
@RhysW Twice a mod. Not sure if I could handle an extra diamond -- if I did take one on it would be on a site I'm passionate about.
@TildalWave lol
@TildalWave Usually, the rules for migrations are that you migrate only in these situations:
- The post is a good, but off topic post for you
- It belongs in a scope overlap and doesn't get answered in X days but has a much better chance of being answered on site B. Again, needs to be a good question
- The OP requests it
- Debatably/borderline on topic for you probably will tumbleweed) but very very obviously on topic elsewhere. This is a rare case
@RhysW Give him time to type! He's probably typing on three keyboards and to a dozen sites at the same time... I'd like to think he's an octopus-human mutant, but he probably isn't, if the mod hat fits :)
So even though it's borderline on topic for us and from the POV as a Phys mod I don't have any objections either way, the receiving site should/could have objections. Or, in this case your foster tyrant mod @AnnaLear :P
@RhysW I'm confined to the chatroom, I only have 1q+1a on the site
@ManishEarth That's just cheating... I thought there's a point to all your explanations, but you've just used them to wear us down and throw us a bone where we don't dare venture! :P (joking)
@ManishEarth So what do we do? Open a can of lager, sit back, and see it handled by the big guys/galls? Because I'm completely fine with that, it's 37°C again... if someone could find something worth watching on my telly as well, that'd be even better :)
@Undo - I'll let you sweat for 10-15 minutes, maybe you'll figure it out what I mean in the meantime :P if you figure it out - it's just a joke, I'll put things back in deserved place soon enough :))
@Undo Wait, it's not allowed now to upvote @ernestopheles' posts just so I have to upvote even more of yours :P I'm not even sure you have so many answers without my upvote ...
One might think that spacecraft would be on the cutting edge of technology. However, when looking over details of spacecraft, it seems their computer systems are often very much behind the times. For example, the Curiosity rover was launched in 2011, when consumer laptop systems ran in the GHz ...
It seems that most rover-related attention recently has been on Mars, with Curiosity recently getting there.
However, it seems there are also benefits to exploring places a little closer to home, such as the moon.
Have there been any unmanned surface missions to the moon in the past decade? Hav...
We need to somehow make people vote more often... @Undo you got in total 70 rep points today, and out of that 45 were from me (4 answers, 1 question). OK, it might be a slow day and us pretty much the only ones here, but I think that if we vote more frequently, people will check their accounts more often and maybe "compete" a bit more (hopefully in healthy ways). We have users active on other SE sites, and they might see notifications then more often, e.t.c. And, we need more high rep users...
Plus, a lot of the content is IMO pretty good (counting only open questions), even considering the nagging we don't have enough experts from the first days of beta.
@Donald.McLean I was checking the numbers on A51 and they seem fine in that regard actually... I was wondering as well, but the percentage is high enough (68%) compared to other current sites in beta, even some that were in beta for a lot longer time... but sure, if you can think of some ways to do that, it probably wouldn't go amiss. :)
And it's summer, with I guess many that committed on vacation and might do it a bit later e.t.c.
@Undo No mod / privilege hammer on that one, we need to agree on their meaning for the use of our website, I think it makes sense to go into the review queue
@Undo Possibly, I only read the contents, not all metadata about them
What are we still missing to get the "about" page? I mean, do we need to discuss something more about it on meta? I would also like to start the "community promotion" banners competition, maybe add one that links to our newsletter subscription: stackexchange.com/newsletters/…
If someone wants to do this tonight, then go ahead, I'm off to bed early tonight, but will take some time for it tomorrow, if it'll still be needed
