@BrentOzar good job

@DavidFullerton me too. what kind do you want?

then sure, it's what people tune in for

@FosterBass i don't know; what did you tune in for?

don't worry, the editor will cut this down to 2 punchy seconds

@MadScientist doesn't make up for the fact that we as a company should post responses to more than we do, but it is an honest explanation that it's just really hard to keep up on the Q&A requests

@MadScientist that is true (reading more than we respond to). Speaking for myself (which doesn't help much because I work on Careers, not the Q&A communities, these days), I would often read a request, then either make a note to discuss it with someone else internally or keep it open in a tab until I had time to write a thorough answer, and then just lose track of it.

this recommendation came 24 hours too late

i was in italy yesterday

you need to have entertainment if it's a telethon. a capella, please

so...when does the podcast start? :)

ping

@Jin in case nicael's "lol" didn't clue you in, yes, this is public

@WilliamTurrell no.

@Jaydles it's Matt Ellen

:)

does @DavidFullerton get affiliate money every time he mentions Thinking, Fast and Slow?

@Jaydles remember that thing about baseline being too low? "talked more than any guest"..but you guys don't really let guests talk usually :P

@Mooseman an hour when the editor's done ;)

@Bart (sarcasm, which I hope was obvious)

@Mooseman you get real-life bronze, silver, and gold badges depending on the number of modems you destroy

@Mooseman it's still their fault. they shouldn't give internet access to people who can't be nice. :P

@AnnonomusPenguin yup, agreed. haven't come up with a brilliant way to solve it

@Mooseman would you like to be our first recruit to the Modem-Destroying Corps?

should they?

do they know about our be nice policy?

do casual browsers on SO even know that flagging exists?

any thoughts on how to communicate welcoming-ness and inclusion to the broader tech community?

cool. I think comment flags is a place where there's definitely room for improvement, and that helps for people already in the community.

@SomeKittens this is an interesting thing...we do shut down the most egregious incidents really quickly (relying heavily on community members flagging things), and a lot of stuff gets shut down before the general public knows about it. but the occasional incident reaches twitter, or meta, or whatever and even though those things are really rare, they might portray that things aren't great on SO.

I've seen lots of women say they'd never consider doing that. How can we make them feel like they'll be safe if they do?

Question for the universe: What can we do to make women feel safe disclosing on SO that they are women?

all kinds of critters

and babies

and dogs!

turns out bars are quiet at 2pm on a weekday

@hichris123 well, he was looking at this chat room when I typed that.

they're getting more elaborate

during bev bash

there was origami recently

@hichris123 you can't tell? he's toggling between the livestream and this chat room!

@AlexMiller yeah, everyone's a little louder now

@hichris123 Roberta is talking about her work on Careers! including a neat candidate query language feature for employers

@JonEricson would it really be worse than this?

why didn't we do the SE podcast live from the spacex launch?

did the stream totally die for anyone else? no sound or video anymore

no more streeeeeeaaam!

It's been a while since we had a cheese sponsor: blog.stackoverflow.com/2014/07/…

no pickles

@Jaydles you sounded okay, but David and Joel still sound far away
