Jan 23, 2015 at 5:31 | comment | added | 201044 | Why is it unclear? 'SE is not set up for what I think you are talking about..' ,you are right ; I can not get idea-development help from question and answer websites run by a panel of experts. Especially if I'm not an expert. I won't comment on this anymore. | |
Jan 22, 2015 at 10:56 | comment | added | Rory Alsop | That makes no sense. If you provide an answer that helps someone else, they say thanks (either through an upvote or an acceptance) - that's how SE is set up. SE is not for what I think you are talking about (still very unclear though)...If you think your ideas are good enough, set up an SE Careers page - and if others are interested enough you may be offered a job. | |
Jan 22, 2015 at 3:42 | comment | added | 201044 | As I said , it would be nice if some user or 'outside' person or group indicated one of my ideas I have tried to promote was so interesting they were going to use it to solve some problem in REAL life and give me real evidence of this and not just some abstract badge or symbol of appreciation. And if NONE of my ideas are worth developing for real life situations maybe some diplomatic advice on how to improve my ideas would be helpful( unless they're all trash , according to other people). (I have been promoting a lot of ideas on these exchanges and mainly get discouraging responses.) | |
Jan 21, 2015 at 9:52 | comment | added | Rory Alsop | 201044 - can you articulate what you would expect to see when someone is helped by SE? Every day I see people who it helps - developing code, becoming more productive, understanding music etc. So I think the only challenge here is the disconnect between what you expect and what SE provides - and until you can describe your expectations, we have no idea what you are talking about | |
Jan 20, 2015 at 13:35 | comment | added | psubsee2003 | @201044 if you are looking for a way to quantify how many people your answers may have help, you may find We're working on a new stat to help convey the reach of your posts here interesting. Stack Exchange is working on a metric to do just that. It is only available on MSE at this point in time, but it appears that the plan would be to roll it out to the entire network when they are satisfied that it is reasonably accurate. | |
Jan 19, 2015 at 17:39 | comment | added | 201044 | I actually can put up with the negativity IF THERE WAS A FAINT HOPE some of my ideas could be used to help people in the REAL world. | |
Jan 19, 2015 at 17:34 | comment | added | 201044 | Why is this closed. I thought this site was supposed to be helpful. I'm clearly asking if there have been any users that have proposed an idea that some 'outside' reader or group has developed into a real solution to some important problem? | |
Jan 11, 2015 at 4:51 | comment | added | 201044 | @- Fundamental ;Do you mean not many users have posted an idea on one of these sites which was successfully 'picked up' by some group or organization and developed into a useful solution to some real world problem? | |
Jan 10, 2015 at 19:24 | comment | added | user259867 | For the benefit of those who don't want to examine OP's contributions to math.se, I will say that they have not been as extensive or useful as one might infer from this post. | |

Jan 10, 2015 at 7:13 | comment | added | 201044 | Are theses s.e. sites mainly about exchanging opinions and various facts and NOT necessarily about trying to find new or radical ideas to possibly develop them into practical real world solutions to important problems? | |
Jan 10, 2015 at 7:09 | comment | added | 201044 | My main question is if any user has written such a great 'set' of ideas that someone or some group contacted the user and told they want to take the users ideas (with the user's cooperation) and develop it for some actual real world application that might solve important real world problems and help people in general , not just within the s.e. sites. If this has happened how often? I have written many ideas I believe could help in real world situations but such ideas have generally been ignored. | |

fixed grammar/formatting, also removed last line that I don't think should be there, could cause downvotes, rollback/add it back if you want it in
