comment How do we deal with misuse of "typo/no longer reproducible" close-reason?
@TylerH that hasn't been an issue for SO since immemorial. The "home page" has been personalized and randomized for everyone since years ago. It's called "interesting" now. I could edit 10k posts in a minute and would be surprised if you see any of it.

comment The [tax] tag has been burninated
"because tax is an economic concept" let me nerd a bit here. A tax is not a economic concept, it's a legal one along with levy, excise, etc. that has economic and behavioral consequences. Taxes in economics are studied by its effects, but in general are treated as a cost. (Accounting majors would love to disagree with that)

comment Should a link redirect to a specific version or the current version?
Django in particular would remove very old version of documentations, specially if there's a security issue that is solved by newer versions. They want people to not even attempt to use old versions. Every version of the documentation has the compilation of all depreciation notes, so you always know what happened with your favorite method/class/parameter.

comment Where is the "opinion-based" part of my question?
And yet it is objectively viable answer. You would still accomplish the stated "objective".

comment Where is the "opinion-based" part of my question?
One of the best way to identify a opinion based question is asking: Is there any answer that can be wrong? With your question, there are no wrong answers.

comment This tag paid the ultimate [price]
@RyanM I'm just saying as it is. Currency/money formatting is handled by the same libraries that handle time, date, language rules, etc. As it is a combination of the language/country rules. On the other hand, from the programmers perspective, a currency is just a unit of measure, like centimeters, litters, etc. it doesn't tell you anything. Converting between currencies is usually done with a conversion ratio that rarely depends on the programmer, but on a third-party service. There's nothing inherently special about currency. The standard composite types can deal with them.

@RyanM currency formatting is just a subset of localization (which itself is a subset of string formatting, but I digress). Financial computation in the world of programming mostly revolve around analysis, rather than implementations, but most of the questions on SO are about how to deal with the problems that comes from currencies not being infinitely fractional.

comment Where is the opt out option so my answers don't get used by OpenAI?
@MarkAmery in that case, personal data is the link of the post to your account. Once that link is gone, the post contains no more personal data. Also, notice that exceptions to this apply, like if you try to disassociate to avoid penalties.

comment This tag paid the ultimate [price]
There's no meta guidance, because it would rehash the same thing that the help center says: A tag is a word or phrase that describes the topic of the question. Price doesn't describe any concrete topic. It just say that the concept of "price" is touched upon this question. There's a litmus test for this: can anyone look at a question tagged "price" and identify if they would be not able to answer the question?

comment This tag paid the ultimate [price]
The tags here described as potential replacement, all have the same issues that price have: they are ambiguous in the terms of programming. We don't replace an ambiguous tag with another ambiguous tag, we replace it if we can identify a better way to convey meaning that the current tags don't have.
