The recent license posts  and  generated some confusion over the interpretation of the voting under the first feedback question, resulting in some potential misunderstandings complained by  and  answers, requiring  and  reviews.  I am not a licensing expert, so, personally, I upvoted the question at first because I thought it was a good change (and a good topic to discuss), but after reading the answers disagreeing with the proposal, I changed my opinion, and wanted to disagree and downvote it, but I couldn't change my vote right after that since I had already voted and the question hadn't changed.  Moreover, I thought it wouldn't matter much, since I still agreed that the question was important regardless of my agreement with the proposal, so the upvote would still represent my intent. Many of others also thought that way, and it kind of created a false-positive voting feedback.  That's reasonable, because our current guideline leaves two open interpretations: vote for well-written, and vote for agreement or disagreement, as we can see in the  (italic emphasis mine):     Voting is different on meta sites      Your Meta Stack Exchange account functions like an account on any   other Stack Exchange Q&amp;A site: your reputation score goes up when   others vote up your questions and answers, and you earn badges for   your activity here.      For most posts, votes reflect the perceived usefulness: well-written,   well-reasoned, and well-researched posts tend to get more attention   and more upvotes.      Unlike normal Stack Exchange sites, meta invites the community to   discuss, debate, and propose changes to the way the community itself   behaves, as well as how the software works. On posts tagged   , voting can indicate agreement or disagreement with   the proposed change rather than just the quality or usefulness of the   post itself.   Another point is that the first post was actually migrated from , which allowed anyone to give a real feedback regardless of reputation, but the migration prevented a lot of users to give a negative feedback properly (or, as you possibly were expecting), as we can notice ,  (deleted), and .  Those are just examples of how the feedback questions have currently a bad mechanism. It should be clearer if the question voting represents or not the voter acceptance and agreement. I guess that the default behavior is that is doesn't, and if it actually does, we are not aware of it! And worst: we can't freely vote in it, since it requires 125 of reputation here (and not in any of the network-wide sites), blocking users to demonstrate their feedback (such issue is well discussed at ).  We know that something simple like the community wiki checkbox that changes some behaviors or something separated like the elections were successful enhancements for their unique needs.  I guess we have solid indicators that it is time for to enhance the voting mechanism intended for getting community feedback. Just to explore some possible solutions:   implementing a new way to vote; tuning Meta's privileges reputation; updating Meta's Tour and other guidelines to be clearer; other.    What do you think?
To make your opinion known on MSE you need both up and downvotes. Given at the moment you need 125 rep to downvote on this site, the voting patterns will be skewed positive because not everyone is active on the site.   This is to be expected for regular Stack Exchange sites as you are expected to be involved in the community before you are deemed knowledgeable enough to be part of the community voice. However, MSE is different because you are voting for the entirety of the Stack Exchange network and you shouldn't need to be active on MSE itself to have a voice on changes to the entire network.  This is especially important for questions like  because it will effect every network to do with coding at all. This was brought up in .  I would suggest reducing the rep required to downvote on MSE down to 100 (or 101) rep. This is the amount you get for the site association bonus. This is given once you achieve 200 rep on any network site and shows that you are active in at least one community. I think this would be the perfect use of the association bonus in showing that you are a member of the Stack Exchange community.
When a user without editing privileges suggests an edit to the post, a banner gets displayed until it is reviewed. Can the banner also provide a link to the Suggested edit? For example, I made an edit to a post on Unix&amp;Linux.SE. Can the banner also link to my ?     I know I can access the link through my Profile → Activity → Suggestions. But linking it directly on the face of the post would have immense benefits:  I have been a prolific editor on Ask Ubuntu (my first encounter with Stack Exchange Network) with a lot of Rep derived through Suggestions. I didn't get to know about these suggested edit links until very late (I guess I already had got about 400 edit suggestions approved by the time this came to my knowledge).  This means I didn't know about  when it mattered the most.  I never got to know why my suggestions got rejected because of my ignorance.  This would help reduce the barrier between Reviewers and Editors.  This would also help in case of Anonymous edits. Right now, there is no way an anonymous editor can access it unless the edit gets approved and he comes back to go through the Revision page of that particular post in order to access the Suggested Edit Review link. If the edit gets rejected - it's the end of the road for that anonymous editor. I just made an anonymous edit on one of the SE sites where I don't have an account and already feel like it's the end of the road for me since I just can't access the review link unless it gets approved.    Possibly also expand the banner to mention that they can also access the link to the suggestion via Profile → Activity → Suggestions. java math calculation for coordinates of circle given radius of 1.00 Suppose that:  $0 \rightarrow M_{1} \rightarrow M \rightarrow M_{2} \rightarrow 0$  Is an exact sequence of $R$-modules (for $R$ commutative integral domain). Show that $\mathrm{rk}(M) = \mathrm{rk}(M_{1})+\mathrm{rk}(M_{2})$    I have shown the inequality $\mathrm{rk}(M) \geq \mathrm{rk}(M_{1})+\mathrm{rk}(M_{2})$, however for the opposite direction I'm lost. I tried to take $N$ as a linear independent subset and tried to decompose it into $N_{1}$ (the elements in $\mathrm{Ker}(g)$) and $N_{2}$ (the elements not in $\mathrm{Ker}(g)$), but I haven't got far, since $N_{1}$ gives us a linearly independent set in $M_{1}$, however $N_{2}$ can give us a linearly dependent set in $M_{2}$.   We define $\mathrm{rk}(M)$ in this case as the supremum over all cardinalities of the linearly independent subsets of $M$ (where the only finite linear combination equaling $0$ implies trivial coefficients for $r \in R$).  Would this be the proper way to show the result? I think I'm missing something important. Correcting for multiple kruskal wallis tests I am running a kruskal wallis test a number of times (37) and wanted to know if I have to adjust the p-values of the kruskal tests before I look any further into the post hocs? geometric interpretation of $\vec v \cdot \operatorname{curl} \vec v = 0 $ There is a family of surfaces orthogonal to the vector field $\vec v \in \mathbb R^3$ iff $\vec v \cdot  \operatorname{curl} \vec v = 0 $. Now the necessity part is trivial, but the proof of sufficiency I have seen in physics textbooks, e.g. Kestin: Thermodynamics, is kind of mindless integration similar to the one usually offered to prove Poincare's lemma as in Flanders, or just asserted as in Born&amp;Wolf: Optics. Is there an intuitive and geometric interpretation of this condition that would make it obvious why its sufficiency must be true? Make the enter key send message on iPad Recursive search in nautilus 3.6 completely breaks my keyboard navigation. I often navigate network volumes, and typing to get directly to a folder and clicking enter was very quick. Now typing removes everything in the view and imposes a 30 second delay which is completely useless.  If it showed whats in the current directory immediately, and then searched it would be fine, but as it is now I just want to turn it off. I couldn't find anything in dconf-settings. Anyone know how to disable it? I'm stuck with the proof of the following:  Suppose that $(s_n)$ converges to $s$, $(t_n)$ converges to $t$, and $s_n \leq t_n \: \forall \: n$. Prove that $s \leq t$.   I've tried starting with $s_n \leq t_n \: \forall : n$ and the definitions of each limit (i.e. $|s_n - s| \leq \epsilon \: \forall \: n &gt; N_1$), but I'm not really getting very far.

Thanks, Richard How to prove there are no more positive integers that are products of 2 and 3 consecutive numbers? $6$ and $210$ share the property that both are the products of both two and three consecutive numbers. $6$ is $2\times3$ and $1\times2\times3$ and $210$ is $14\times15$ and $5\times6\times7$. It was easy enough to write a program to search for more numbers with this property, I found that there were no more up to at least $1{,}000{,}000{,}000{,}000$ ($1$ Trillion). But it is beyond me to prove that there are either no more numbers like this or to find the next one. Any ideas? How to understand the LaTeX warning “there were undefined references”? If a set of parentheses lies between a subject and its verb, and the parentheses contain an substitutive subject whose singularity/plurality disagrees with the original subject, whose singularity/plurality should be chosen for the verb?  In other words, in the following example, should "questions" (and its verb "are") be singular, or should they remain plural as shown?     Many (if not every) questions on this StackExchange are answered.   My intuition tells me that the two words in question should remain in plural forms, since the text in parentheses only interrupts the sentence (and the sentence would be grammatically incorrect if everything in parentheses were removed and the words were in singular form).  On the other hand, when read aloud (assuming one reads the text in parentheses), this has an uncomfortable sound to it, and I've seen others write in what would be the above example's singular-form case, so I'm curious to find out which is correct.  And, thinking about it, I suppose the same question would apply when commas are used in place of parentheses. Could not find class How can I use an array modifier to create individually manipulatable objects? I often use an array modifier (or two) to quickly create a grid of identical or symmetric objects, which can be really useful when modeling all sorts of man-made objects. Once I've made the grid, though, is there any way for me to make it so that each of the objects are individually manipulatable?  Simply applying the modifier does not seem to be the full answer, since it still only allows me to select the grid-of-objects as a whole in object mode. Is there any way to separate them so I work with them each individually? How can I set the default terminal used in Unity?  I would like to use the Ctrl+Alt+T hotkey to start a non-default terminal. The default terminal is gnome-terminal.   Where can I change the default terminal value? Suggested improvements to badges index page ()  Currently,  shows the possible badges, number of total recipients, and brief descriptions. However, I have a few suggestions (mostly minor changes) that could make it a bit nicer.   There is no way to see (on that page) which badges I've earned multiple times — they all appear with a green checkmark. It would be nice to show something like "x 4" like in the badges section of the user profile page. For example:      There is no way to see which badges can be awarded multiple times — you have to click on a specific badge to see yea or nay. It would be nice to have a small, simple icon next to badges that can be earned multiple times, similar to the checkmark showing which badges I've earned. The layout would be nicer if the number of recipients for each badge were in a separate column — since the badge images are different sizes, the overlap and ragged right alignment makes the numbers harder to read. An alternative view that groups badges by "achievement level" (gold/silver/bronze) would be nice, as would a view that groups progressive degrees of the same accomplishment.
