I have an established blog that has been putting out content for a year.  Today I noticed that somebody has cloned my entire website, word-for-word, and hosted it on a separate domain.  When I say cloned, I mean you could put them side-by-side and they would look identical, so everything has been copied, including content, layout, etc.  I looked at the source and the HTML has been copied verbatim.  The new domain has only been registered a few weeks ago.  Unfortunately the copied site is now outranking my real site on a few keywords in google search results!  On some keywords the fake site has taken my place on the first page of the search results, and my site is no longer even listed!  What can I do about this?  Update: I filed a DCMA complaint with Google.  Update: I just discovered that he is just using his site as a proxy to access mine. I can block his IP from accessing my site which would effectively solve the problem (maybe only temporarily?), but then what happens when Google investigates the DCMA and finds nothing?
One of our websites was copied word for word all 400 pages by someone who used a special program to clone the site. We saw the program in the code.   This was done in early April and soon after that we lost a lot of rank in Google. We just discovered the copied site today. It is mirrorred 100%.   We did change the front page of our site since then to make some differences but since the Penguin update, we still have not recovered. We have also corrected the problems in Webmaster Tools. Will the mirrored site affect our Google rank to a severe degree or are there other issues that are affecting us? What can be done about that mirrored site?
This poor creature is taken aboard the spaceship and the humans do not know that it is intelligent.  The alien can repeat what it hears, e,g, "pass the sugar".  It is able to escape at night and it communicates messages to its fellow aliens.  It directs that they turn up the heat of the atmosphere (somehow they can do this) so as to force the humans to leave.  The alien protagonist states that it will die w/ the humans or leave with them. A different approach in distributing $8$ distinct balls into $6$ distinct boxes Find the number of ways in distributing $8$ distinct balls into $6$ distinct boxes such that there is at least $1$ ball in each box.  We are well acquainted with the traditional Inclusion-Exclusion principle in solving this and it will come up as $191520$ ways.  I tried in this way:  When we distribute $8$ balls into $6$ boxes we have two possible cases  Case $1.$ There are exactly $2$ boxes with $2$ balls each  Case $2.$ There is exactly $1$ Box with $3$ balls in it.  For Case $1$, the distribution is done by choosing $2$ boxes from $6$ boxes and $2$ balls from $8$ balls and those two balls can be arranged in $2!$ ways. But I require another two balls from remaining $6$ balls to be placed in each of these two boxes which can be done in $\binom{6}{2} \times 2!$ ways. Finally remaining $4$ balls can be distributed in remaining $4$ boxes in $4!$ ways. So total number of ways for Case $1.$ is  $$\binom{6}{2} \times \binom{8}{2} \times 2! \times \binom{6}{2} \times 2! \times 4!=604800$$  For Case $2$, the number of ways is  $$\binom{6}{1} \times \binom{8}{3} \times 5!=40320$$  I am pretty sure the value obtained for Case $2.$ is correct. but I could not find where I went wrong in Case $1.$ Is kinetic energy a relative quantity? Will it make inconsistent equations when applying it to the conservation of energy equations? Missing SOAP action header Im trying to get the session ID of another user in the same org by sending the following request by using the data from my enterprise wsdl and its an developer edition.  &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com"&gt;    &lt;soapenv:Header&gt;       &lt;urn:organizationId&gt;xxxxxxx&lt;/urn:organizationId&gt;    &lt;/soapenv:Header&gt;    &lt;soapenv:Body&gt;       &lt;urn:login&gt;          &lt;urn:username&gt;xxxxxxxxx&lt;/urn:username&gt;          &lt;urn:password&gt;xxxxxxxxx&lt;/urn:password&gt;       &lt;/urn:login&gt;    &lt;/soapenv:Body&gt; &lt;/soapenv:Envelope&gt;   But when i send this request i get      Missing SOAP ACTION header  but in my wsdl i dont have the action ,its blank    how to overcome this problem ?I got totaly struck over here since there is no action though its asking for action header.Following method handles the http request.   public string   processrrequest(string ep,string message,string method) {      HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();     req.setEndpoint(ep);     req.setMethod(method);     req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');     req.setHeader('SOAPAction','');     req.setBody(message);     system.debug('Request::'+req.getbody());     Http http = new Http();     HttpResponse res =http.send(req);     //Dom.Document doc  = res.getbodyDocument();     system.debug('Response::'+res.getbody());     system.debug('Response2::'+res.getStatus());     Dom.Document doc= new Dom.Document();     doc=res.getBodyDocument();     system.debug('doc::'+doc);     return 'hai'; } Science Fiction novel or novels about starship that becomes a god, colonizes hostile planet Plot Summary/Details  The sharpest memory I have of this one is that it was unusually dense reading. Much more difficult going than most of the sci-fi stuff I'd read by that time (I was 10 or 11, I think).  What I remember in terms of plot is that there is a starship, sent either to explore, or colonize, a distant star system.  I don't remember the names of any of the characters, but I think maybe they discover they are clones?  In any case, something happens to the computer system that the onboard AI becomes sentient and develops a measure of omniscience and omnipotence.  It effectively becomes a god of sorts.  The next part I can remember, and I'm not sure this is the same book or not, is that the ship has forcibly settled the crew on a hostile planet.  All sorts of nasty indigenous life forms live here, and guards are post on the wall outside the settlement to destroy them as they try to enter.  I remember there is a female character standing watch, and she goes over the bestiary in her mind.  One particularly nasty creature paralyzes you, and then burrows up your spine into your brain (or something like that) if it gets a hold of you.  That's all I can recall.  Not a lot of detail, unfortunately, but I'm having a tough time remembering much about this one.  I never finished the book(s), as they were mostly "over my head" at that age. In university last semester I was asked to prove that $\sin1$ (1 radian that is) is irrational,  and ended up simply using the Taylor Series Expansion. This method provides a very quick solution, but I am curious as to whether anyone has a method for proving this without making use of the Taylor Series Expansion. I feel as though doing so must be possible using some number theory, but am low on ideas as to an alternative approach to the question.  Note:  If anyone is interested in my solution using Taylor Series Expansion (although it is not the focus of my question), here it is :      From    $$ \sin x = x - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} -  \dots$$   We see that    $$ \alpha = \sin 1 = 1 - \frac{1^3}{3!} + \frac{1^5}{5!} -  \dots $$   Given integers $a$ and $b$, if $\alpha = \frac{a}{b}$ then it follows that $b!\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}$, and $b!\alpha = C + D$ where $C \in \mathbb{Z}$ and we have :   $$ D = \begin{cases} \pm(\frac{1}{b+1} - \frac{1}{(b+1)(b+2)(b+3)} + \dots) \text{    if $b$ is even}\\ \pm(\frac{1}{(b+1)(b+2)} - \frac{1}{(b+1)\dots(b+4)} + \dots ) \text{ if $b$ is odd}\\ \end{cases} $$   In each case we can see that $0 &lt; D &lt; 1$, giving us a contradiction.    Thus, we have that $\sin 1 $ is irrational.    $$ \blacksquare $$ If $F\supset E$ and $E\supset k$ are normal extensions.

After hours of banging my brain against my skull, I narrowed down an issue I'm having to the fact that \makeatletter doesn't work inside \newcommand. Commands that I call after \makeatletter are registered as undefined, as if \makeatletter didn't do anything.  Why is this the case?  In the example below, I define two commands.

Power on to login was seconds (max 10)  Then, I did a regular upgrade this morning:  $ sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt dist-upgrade   The packages installed/upgraded were:  Install: linux-headers-4.15.0-24:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-headers-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-modules-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-image-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic) Upgrade: gnome-control-center-data:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-headers-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), gnome-control-center:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-image-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), linux-signed-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), gnome-control-center-faces:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26)   I rebooted once the upgrade had completed, and noted a 2-3 minute delay on the Ubuntu loading/splash screen (prior to login) (without any progress/activity indicated on the dots).  I powered off and tried to boot again, but am getting this delay consistently now. Also close down is much slower too.  Update #1 (2018-07-03): Analysis on systemd:  $ sudo systemd-analyze blame 3min 53.073s plymouth-quit-wait.service     2min 20.699s snapd.seeded.service          49.949s snapd.service           6.186s NetworkManager-wait-online.service           1.148s dev-sda2.device           1.098s plymouth-start.service   Showing that plymouth-quit-wait.service (which I now believe is related to the Ubuntu loading/splash screen) and snapd.seeded.service were by far the longest running services to initiate. So I compared the times before the dist-upgrade and after:  $ journalctl -u plymouth-quit-wait.service --since today -- Logs begin at Fri 2018-04-27 13:01:30 BST, end at Tue 2018-07-03 12:38:05 BST. -- Jul 03 04:15:43 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Hold until boot process finishes up...

Jul 03 04:24:52 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Hold until boot process finishes up.   Before the upgrade plymouth-quit-wait.service took 3 seconds. After the upgrade it took 3 minutes 35 seconds  $ journalctl -u snapd.seeded.service --since today -- Logs begin at Fri 2018-04-27 13:01:30 BST, end at Tue 2018-07-03 12:42:14 BST. -- Jul 03 04:15:43 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Wait until snapd is fully seeded...

Jul 03 04:24:49 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Wait until snapd is fully seeded.   Before the upgrade snapd.seeded.service took 0 seconds. After the upgrade it took 2 minutes 2 seconds.  Update #2 (2018-07-06): This morning's boot saw the return of the delay. So I guess we're still waiting for the kernel/plymouth/snapd update.  Update #3 (2018-07-12): The problem seems to be resolved, but I didn't see any update to snap or plymouth, and I'm still running 4.15.0-24 kernel. So I'm not sure which package update fixed the problem, or if it just resolved itself somehow. Reading the bug updates on launchpad it's unclear to me what was done (or is being done) to what package/s. If anyone can clarify that would be very useful. I'm trying to find the derivative of $\sin^{-1}(x)$. I know the steps that lead to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$, however I don't understand why the following reasoning leads to a wrong answer.  Because  $$\frac{d}{dx}f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))} $$  If we plug in for $f(x) = \sin(x)$, and because $\frac{d}{dx}\sin(x) = \cos(x)$ we get  $$\frac{d}{dx}\sin^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{\cos(\sin^{-1}(x))} $$  Since $\sin(x) = \cos(x-\frac{\pi}{2})$, we can state that $\sin^{-1}(x) = \cos^{-1}(x-\frac{\pi}{2})$. (I suspect this is what is wrong)  Thus,  $$\frac{d}{dx}\sin^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{\cos(\cos^{-1}(x-\frac{\pi}{2}))}$$  Then, by the definition of inverse function, we have  $$\frac{d}{dx}\sin^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{x - \frac{\pi}{2}}$$ I can't play Pokemon GO!

Rep graph overview thing™ is white (only in latest Chrome) As you can see, if you go to the reputation graph on your profile on Stack Overflow, the bars in the bottom overview will be white. This makes them invisible unless they are selected.  Eeek!  This does not happen on meta or any other site. Also, I cannot seem to reproduce it on others' profile. Possibly a bug only on your own profile? EDIT: I think I've existed for too long. If I change the CSS on one of the bars to stroke: none, then it becomes green. I think the outline is covering the fill because the bars are too skinny. EDIT2: Confirmed hypothesis by reproducing on Jon Skeet's graph. Proposed solution: enforce minimum bar width and add horizontal scrollbar. EDIT3: Can only repro on Chrome 29.0.1547.57 (Official Build 217859) m (the latest version). Norepro on older versions of Chrome, IE9 (winces), all versions of FF, and all versions of Safari. EDIT4: Can be fixed simply by running the JavaScript $('rect').css('stroke-width', '0') or a userstyle rect { stroke: none }. I may make a user[style|script] to fix this.
