I shouldn't get it :-) I linked that question from the main CodeGolf site. I am 100% certain that I linked this question only within SE. Why would I link this very particular question from the outside webs?  Is this a bug or a feature?  I think it shouldn't be like that - you should be awarded for your effort outside to let people know about SE. Linking within SE is valuable, but I feel these badges are intended for propagating SE and it should be consistent in that.  EDIT: thanks to the discuters.
I suspect that some bug makes internal linking count towards Publicity badges too. The badges :  These badges are specifically for linking to questions like the description says. The link must be clicked from outside the network in order for it to count for this purpose.  However, 2 days ago I was  for a question that I really feel does not need such linking to start with: . Also, I always try to use full links. And above all:  for the link gives me a single hit, for . Maybe it's thinking that empty REFERER headers (for those that block that, or for Safari users who ) should be counted too? Or maybe some search bot is using lots of IP addresses? Or visitors of Stack Overflow clones are to blame?
How to open Nautilus (File Manager) preferences? Why can't helicopters reach mount everest? Get name of caller function in PHP? Can't cast to to unspecific nested type with generics My question is specifically for badges in a particular tag. I've heard that the rules have been changed.  How and when can one get bronze, silver and gold badges for a specific tag, say ? What are the new rules governing these badges? Is there any rule for differentiating between the endings "th" and "ht"? Some words end in th (length, width), and others end in ht (height, fight, tonight, caught).    I sometimes have difficulties in spelling such words because I don't know which ending to choose. Is there any rule or pattern (even localized) in choosing one or the other? I am unable to open gnome-control-center due to an error stemming from pop repositories. Ubuntu 20.04 I just did a clean install of 20.04 and I noticed that no key shortcuts for files manipulation work when my focus in on Desktop (not in Nautilus).   When I have copied a file to clipboard, I cannot Ctrl+V it to Desktop, when I click on a file on Desktop, I cannot Ctrl+C it, or I cannot Delete it with keys. Only ways to do it is either navigate to the Desktop folder in Nautilus, or right-click the file on the Desktop and copy/move to trash/paste...  Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, all the key shortcuts worked normally for me in 18.04. How can I check for an empty/undefined/null string in JavaScript? I saw , but I didn't see a JavaScript specific example. Is there a simple string.Empty available in JavaScript, or is it just a case of checking for ""? Lenovo Y510P: Battery wont charge past 60% On my y510p, I set Lenovos battery software to "Optimize battery health" while I was in Windows 8.1. I forgot to change it before overwriting that partition with Ubuntu, and now my battery in Ubuntu never charges past 59~60%. I think this is due to something in the BIOS because it persists despite my Windows partition being gone.   I've searched the BIOS but there's no mention of battery anywhere!  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I'm reading the Algebra book by Knapp and he mentions in passing that an orthonormal set in an infinite dimension vector space is "never large enough" to be a vector-space basis (i.e. that every vector can be written as a finite sum of vectors from the basis; such bases do exist for infinite dimension vector spaces by virtue of the axiom of choice, but usually one works with orthonormal sets for which infinite sums yield all the elements of the vector space).  So my question is - how can we prove this claim? (That an orthonormal set in an infinite dimension vector space is not a vector space basis).    Edit (by Jonas Meyer): Knapp says in a footnote on  of Basic algebra:     In the infinite-dimensional theory the term "orthonormal basis" is used for an orthonormal set that spans $V$ when limits of finite sums are allowed, in addition to finite sums themselves; when $V$ is infinite-dimensional, an orthonormal basis is never large enough to be a vector-space basis.   Thus, without explicitly using the word, Knapp is referring only to complete infinite-dimensional inner product spaces.

What are those characteristics by which every sound can be identified uniquely? if p is prime then 1920 divides $p^4-10p^2+9$ How can I get a DisplayLink USB monitor work under Ubuntu? I have a DisplayLink-based external USB monitor, which has both power and data over USB, and seems to work perfectly under Windows 7, but only can display a text console under Ubuntu 10.10, and that I can only use when I am actually switched to it. So the only Use I can have so far is to have some text-based monitoring or console that I can watch while working on the graphic display.   I know there are some development done for DisplayLink, but I never could get it to actually run properly.   Yes, I tried the detailed setup described in other , but they did not work, and instead crashed my X that I had to restore.
