May 3, 2014 at 7:27 comment added Davidmh It is worth noting that you can overcome 1 and 2 by scrambling it. If you take data from, say, a bunch of astronomical objects, but take away coordinates, modify the dates, and add a bit of noise/offset, they are essentially useless for science, but the analysis can be the same.

Apr 20, 2014 at 8:21 comment added Glen_b @rbm Yes, I think it would be very useful to be able to upload data sets that are too large to include in-post, but aren't necessarily big. Even if it was just ascii formats it would be a good start.
Apr 20, 2014 at 7:56 comment added rbm @Glen_b Would it maybe be a good feature request then to make it possible to upload data sets (maybe upto a certain file size) on the SE server?
Apr 20, 2014 at 7:39 comment added luciano How should I include data? I was actually expecting there to be a button to upload .csv files but I cannot find this. The only ways I can think of is to paste data as text or use one of R's download from Dropbox functions
Apr 19, 2014 at 17:31 comment added Glen_b One difficulty with linked files is link-rot (old links die leaving a question without context) - questions should, as far as possible, stand alone. If it is possible to illustrate all (or essentially all) issues with a subset that is small enough to be included in the question, that will help, since that way if a link to the fuller data dies, at least only part of the context is lost. Some excellent points in this answer.
