You're quite right - here's the link to his answer [0]. He's talking about removing 'Hi ya' rather than 'thanks'. But it is disheartening when someone edit's your post to make it less friendly. Edit:

My guess is that although you don't know the race/gender of the person there's a chance that they'll use a different questioning style. More senior/regular users then frown upon this different style not necessarily

My first and probably last post to Skeptics SE was a fairly intense affair [0]. I posted an answer that got quite a few votes but then got deleted. As you say - then there doesn't seem to be any clear guidance about what you can do aft

The only way to close something as a duplicate is to provide a link to the duplicate. Plus I think each close as duplicate adds a 'Possible duplicate of <xxx>' comment to the question.

I think they said something similar about when cars replaced horses - no more hooves clop-clopping on the roads.

You already do get a lower level of feedback from the noise of the electic motor. It doesn't make much noise but it does change in pitch as you go faster. Plus you have the speedometer and the colour of the dashboard changes colour I t

The engine noises I heard from the BMW i8 were ridiculous - not that they were bad but just because it seems so childish. It's like you're a 5-year-old sat on a chair making BROOM! BROOM! noises. An example is on this YouTube vide

Surely the same technology being used in the Ocean Cleanup Machine would work. That is, it's not a net. Also boats could drive around it, it just needs to be in the flow of the river.

Every time we talk about EVs someone tries to make this point. Yes you can call them zero emission because they themselves produce zero emissions. This means in the city which is where the most people and the biggest problem with smog is, t

I'm talking about an average school for ages 4-11. But this is not a competition about who has the most expensive schools. I'd rather live in a country where education is free.

Duolingo is purely an example - but you could ask why the research occurred in an American University rather than an EU one. Google Translate is another. In theory there should be many more people willing to pay to learn another language &#

This compounds some major long-term problems for education in the UK. 1. Their school systems are the most elitist/unequal in Europe [0] (from this TED talk [1]). There are many things I love about the UK but I can never go back as the

Where this is shown up starkly is in Self-driving startups. This list of startups [0] only has 1 or 2 in Europe out of 33. Mercedes does most of it's self-driving research in the US. [0]: https://angel.co/job-collection

Its certainly an advantage the European startups don't seem to take up on. For example Duolingo is headquartered in the US.

The costs of buying a house in Belgium is ridiculous. It's 10% tax, lawyers cost about 5x more. If you put an offer down you're on the hook for 10% of the price if you pull out.
