You can post bounties on Stack Exchange if you have enough reputation to cover it. Whoever posts the bounty (not necessarily the patent examiner) gets to pick who wins the bounty. If they don't, it can be automatically awarded to the

I think he means he wants to submit prior art directly to the patent examiner. Is there a way to be sure they'll see it?

Yes, everyone who disagrees with you should just go away. HN is not a place for two-sided discussion! You would make a great Stack Overflow moderator.

Most closed questions are just closed, not deleted. Yes, you absolutely can disagree with and even reverse actions taken by diamond moderators.

That just means you can't post new answers to that particular question. You can still post new questions about security with sessions in PHP. There are over 1600 others there as evidence. QED.

It's not abuse if moderators are deleting questions that don't belong on the site to begin with. If you don't care strongly enough to raise the issue, perhaps the question was rightfully deleted after all.

That's why I said you can vote counter to most moderator decisions. That's the one thing that only another moderator (or employees of Stack Exchange, who oversee moderators) can reverse. And no, "delete happy" mods ca

Most of what you say here is just nonsense. 1. In the vast majority of cases, if you see something not right on Stack Overflow you can fix it yourself. Anyone at all, regardless of reputation, can suggest an edit to any post. 2. You can cha

The first one is off-topic, but it could have been closed as "not constructive" as well. Shopping recommendations aren't encouraged, which is the same issue with the Server Fault question.

Stack Overflow moderator here. I love Slant for so many reasons! I'm glad there's a place where people can ask subjective questions. It sucked when people used to ask where they could ask their question and we basically had to r

Can you share some links to those questions that were wrongly closed? As a general policy, questions that are on topic on Stack Overflow shouldn't be closed just because they might also be on topic on another site. We're aware

Stack Overflow has had problems in the past where unclear or otherwise low-quality questions get migrated to sites where they don't really belong. If a question is clear and you know for sure where it belongs, you can flag it for a mo

Answers are never closed as duplicates. Only questions are closed as duplicates of other questions that ask the same thing. The change is that now the original question should have an answer.

I think it's fine to ask about and discuss already approved patents on Ask Patents. See the answer to: http://patents.stackexchange.com/q/191/288 > But you can still ask for or post prior art and potentially make a difference. >

If you go through the answers on Stack Overflow, the point that "most programmers are incompetent" was made quite frequently. Those that made an effort to support their opinion were highly upvoted (so not that controversial), but many othe

I'm not sure why anyone would listen to you when you make a sweeping accusation and refuse to back it up with a link or evidence of any kind.

That's not a programming question, it's a question about using vim. It's nice to know the answer, but really not the kind of question we want more of. Closing is a compromise between leaving it open (and inviting more questions like it) a
