Who tags/provide labels to question? Recently my question got labeled as - 'Post is related to a rapidly changing event.'  who does decide such tags and labels ?
What does the "Current event" post notice mean? The recently introduced &quot;Current event&quot;  feels incomplete:  At the very least, it needs a period at the end to complete the sentence. Aside from that, what is a future visitor of a question supposed to take away from this notice? The &quot;citation needed&quot; text explains what expectations are placed on the question bearing the notice and invites action. Is the &quot;current event&quot; notice purely informational? What's the desired effect of adding it to a question? The current on-question notice is:  This post relates to a rapidly changing event.  In addition to answering those questions, I'm hoping we can work out a proposal for a wording change to make it more clear. I can't come up with anything to start with, since I don't quite get what the notice is supposed to achieve in the first place.
I'm thinking of following some kind of education in physics online. I have a master degree in Computer Science and have reasonable good knowledge in physics. I would like a program of 1-2 years and I'm more interested in particle physics.   Is there any good online program that offer something similar? How do shock waves form in space? Today my aerodynamics professor mentioned that the equations we were learning for atmospheric shock waves can also be applied by astrophysicists to study black hole-related shock waves in space.  How is this possible? Isn't space too rarefied for shock waves? What is an example application? He mentioned something about the density limit before/after a relativistic shock approaching 6. How to find out what's accessing a particular hard drive on Windows? Possible Duplicate:          My HDD on a dock just started making noises like it's being accessed but I don't see any program accessing it.  Is there a program that shows which HDD is accessed by which program in percentages similar to how the task manager shows which programs use the most CPU? Safari can load internet but none of the other apps cannot! This is by far the weirdest problem I've come across,  My mac can perfectly access internet through safari web browser, but when I tried to do   ping www.google.com   through the terminal, it's requests is being timed out.  None of the other apps are able to reach internet either. Dropbox, Skype, Spotify all showing offline, except the browser itself  I'm guessing something bad with the DNS, but spend 2 hours trying to fix this with no luck Unexpected output for this following code proving topological equivalence How would I show that $$d_E = \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-y_i)^2}$$ and $$d_\infty= \sum_{i=1}^n|x_i-y_i|$$ and $$\sup\{|x_1-y_1|,|x_2-y_2|,...,|x_n-y_n|\}$$ are topologically equivalent on $\mathbb{R}^n$? I can do it for $\mathbb{R}^2$, but I'm not sure how a generalization looks like. I've read through the elementary proof of why there exists a solution $x$ to $x^2\equiv -1\pmod p$ iff $p\equiv 1 \pmod 4$ for $p$ an odd prime. Is there a group theory generalization for this fact as well? What does *~ mean? At the end of a makefile I saw   rm -f *~ *.class   I understand the *.class, but what's *~? Let $a, b$ be elements of a group $G$. Suppose that a has order $5$ and that $a^3b = ba^3$. I want to show that that $ab = ba$.  Here is what I think:   We know that we have $a^1, a^2, a^3, a^4, a^5 = 1$. So, $a^4 = a^{-1}$ and $a^3 = a^{-2}$ and $a^{2} = a^{-4}$. Now,   $a^3b = ba^3$ then $a^{-2}b = ba^{-2}$ then $ba^2 = a^2b$ then $ba^{-4} = a^{-4}b$ then $a^{-1}b = ba^{-1}$ then multiply on the left and right by $a$ to get $ba=ab$. Is this correct or is there a simpler approach? IBM Slack links broken Difference between char *str="STRING" and char str[] = "STRING"? The observable universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old. But yet it is 80 billion light years across. Isn't this a contradiction? I would like to determine the operating system of the host that my Java program is running programmatically (for example: I would like to be able to load different properties based on whether I am on a Windows or Unix platform). What is the safest way to do this with 100% reliability? Let $B$ be a real Banach Space whose dimension is at least $2$, and let $S$ be a subset of $B$ that is an open ball. Is the complement of $S$ (with respect to $B$) always connected?  Idea One could then perhaps make use of the facts that every $2$-dimensional Banach space is homeomorphic to the Euclidean plane and that - for the Euclidean plane - my question has an obvious &quot;YES&quot; answer (since every open ball is the interior of a circle). highest power of prime $p$ dividing $\binom{m+n}{n}$ I am trying to set multiple definition queries for one layer based on one field using python.  ie.  I have a City layer with a field that holds the city name.  I want a copy of the layer in an MXD with the Definition query set for each value in the City field.  So essentially, I have one source layer, with a copy of the layer as many times as there are values in the City field.  The query would look like this: CITY = 'Atlanta' I've just made a minor alteration to a file from a TeX package.  I copied it into my local texmf tree and made the change there.  When I tried kpsewhich &lt;filename&gt; to test that it was finding my local version, it returned the original one and not the new one.  In actual fact, the original file was from my local texmf tree already so I renamed the old one something simple.  Now kpsewhich &lt;filename&gt; returned the system version of the file.  To check that the file was there, I tried kpsewhich -all &lt;filename&gt; and got the correct two versions of the file: my modified one and the system one (in that order).  If I try this with another file that I know exists in both places, then kpsewhich &lt;filename&gt; returns my local file.  Here's the various invocations and their results:  ~% kpsewhich pgfsys-pdftex.def /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-pdftex.def ~% kpsewhich -all pgfsys-pdftex.def  /Users/stacey/Library/texmf/tex/latex/bzr/pgfsys-pdftex.def /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-pdftex.def ~% kpsewhich tqft.sty               /Users/stacey/Library/texmf/tex/latex/bzr/tqft.sty ~% kpsewhich -all tqft.sty /Users/stacey/Library/texmf/tex/latex/bzr/tqft.sty /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tqft/tqft.sty   Is it something special about the .def extension?  Is there some command that I forgot to run?  Are there some other options to kpsewhich that will help me debug this?

In season 8 episode 1, when the Doctor encounters the episode's villain(s), he keeps saying that this is all very familiar to him, but he can't quite put a finger on it. Is this a case where the audience is supposed to know more than the Doctor (like when he can't keep Clara and Strax straight), or is he referring to something we (the audience) haven't seen yet? As in, are the serious Whovians yelling at the screen, "it's [insert name of classical Dr. Who villain here]!", or are they as puzzled as the Doctor is (and I am)?
