Comment Post #279832 The status of experimental questions was a matter that came up over and over again on the site SomewhereElse. In particular many, *many* experimental questions were accused of being not about physics one way or another. The lines between experimental design and various engineering disciplines; experi...

Comment Post #278340 Experimental nuclear/particle physicist by training. I taught the subject at university for five years, and moderated physics.SE for more than nine years. But I don’t anticipate have time for more than casual use of the proposed site here.

Question Deleted posts should be accessible to the creator *or* there should be a warning
I started writing an answer on Scientific Speculation and accidentally submitted it in a very incomplete state. Then my toddler came by and started making it hard to work on the stub. So, using my finely honed Stack Exchange reflexes I decided to delete the post until I could edit in into shape. O...

Comment Post #276703 I fear that if the site grows to any size at all this becomes unwieldy. I can think of ten or more languages that have significant, on-going user bases without breaking a sweat. You either have to have a tight policy on what languages qualify (likely to be perceived as exclusionary and unwelcoming) o...

Comment Post #276414 When I use the Native filter I'm getting some posts where the question is not marked as imported but the answers are. (I'm guessing these are questions claimed by a local user...) Is this the right behavior for OP's use case?

Answer A: Hot Network Questions like feature?
A suggestion that I recall seeing on MSE is that hot network questions get a feature similar that protection on Stack Exchange where users need some (presumably very low) threshold of trust earned in the site to be able to vote on questions given broader visibility. In Stack Exchange terms that me...

Answer A: How do we handle overlap?
There are two sides to this question Questions that are on-topic on more than one site There were three principle I followed on Stack Exchange for questions that would be at home on more than one site They may be asked on either site. This does lead to duplicates on the network whic...

Comment Post #276141 I'm with @Alan on the matter of naming: the name should not exclude a desired audience segment. So if we want all skilled and aspiring programmers then the name should not suggest we only want pros. I'm thinking of the SE site "Theoretical physics". The founders insisted that they were creating a sit...

Comment Post #276162 We can hope, but not guarantee, that well receied answers that remain correct will continue to garner votes for passing traffic fast enough to keep them on the top. Obviously that requires sufficient traffic to the site.
