Stripping seasoning from cast iron After reading , I want to try to re-season a skillet with flaxseed oil; I'm fairly certain I did a terrible job when I seasoned the skillet several years ago. Is it possible to do this with steel wool or vinegar? (I don't have a self-cleaning oven, so that method is out.) Getting MTP enabled devices to work with Ubuntu? Uncountable ordinals without power set axiom Assume $M$ is a set, in which all axioms of $ZF - P + (V=L)$ hold. Does then $M$ believe that there exists an uncountable ordinal? I mean, why should the class of all countable ordinal numbers be a set? Carmichael number square free Show that if $n$ is a , then $n$ is a square-free.  I did this: Let $n= (p^t)(m)$  where $t &gt;1$. Then by modular property,  $$b^p= b \mod n , \,\, b^m= b \mod n$$ Above two equations are also true in$\mod p$, $\mod p^t$. But in$\mod m$, just $b^n=b \mod m$.  And I tried to use CRT But I couldn't.  I think that I've chosen wrong way How many combinations can I make? let $n \gt 1$ be an integer, and consider $n$ people; $P_1, P_2,..., P_n$ let $A_n$ be the number of ways these $n$ people can be divided into groups, such that each group have either one or two people  determine $A_1, A_2, A_3$  So I have  $A_1 = 1$ way $A_2 = 4$ way $A_3 = 12$ way  But I am not sure if this is right... Can anyone confirm?  edit:  My way of getting this is  $A_1 = 1 $ because {P1} only has 1 way to sort  $A_2 = 4$ because {P1,P2} = {P1,P2},{P2,P1},{P1P2},{P2P1}  etc. Today, when looking up the definitions of the phrasal verb "take sth up", I noticed that one of them was written like this: "to start or begin something such as a job." For the first time I realised that probably "start" and "begin" don't exactly mean the same thing.So the question is what the difference is between the two, and if there are cases when they mean exactly the same thing. Show that $\lim\limits_{a \to 0^+} \int^1_0 ax^{a−1}f(x)dx=f(0)$. Suppose $f$ is Riemann integrable on $[0,1]$ and continuous at 0. Show that $$\lim\limits_{a \to 0^+} \int^1_0 ax^{a−1}f(x)dx=f(0).$$   Can anyone share some insight on this one? I have no idea where to begin. Maybe a substitution? Show that any set in a metric space can be written as the intersection of open sets Show that any set contained in the metric space $(X, d)$ can be   written as the intersection of open sets.   Definitions: A set $A \subseteq X$ is open if $\forall x \in A$, $\exists \varepsilon&gt;0$ such that $B_{\varepsilon}(x) \subseteq A$. A set $C \subseteq X$ is closed if and only if $X \setminus C$ is open.   I also know that the intersection of a finite collection of open sets is open and that any open ball contained in $X$ is open.

I have deblocked but everytime my phone enters into standyby it apears me the message "locked by android device manager" and I have to enter the password again.  Do you know how to remove this message? btrfs with multi devices fails automount in fstab I'm trying to automount btrfs  on 12.04-desktop-amd64. During bootsplash, fstab failed to mount btrfs and asked skip or manually prepare.  On the rootshell, btrfs device scan and mount -a could automount properly. It seems "btrfs device scan" was missing from bootstrap.  Where should I add the line to prepare bootstrap? Can't install Skype 4.3 on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit First of all, I think this question is not duplicated, because I have tried all other solutions I found here, but nothing solved my problem.  I use Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.  I have tried until now: sudo apt-get install skype -> It didn't work. The error was:   The following packages have unmet dependencies: skype : Depends: skype-bin E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.   I have tried sudo dpkg add-architecture &amp;&amp; sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb but it didn't work either.

Probably another installation that I had done before the Skype installation was the problem, i guess.  Thanks people! Replace strings in a file based on a list of strings and a list of corresponding replacements Efficient computation of $\sum_{k=1}^n \left\lfloor \frac{n}{k}\right\rfloor$ I realize that there is probably not a closed form, but is there an efficient way to calculate the following expression?  $$\sum_{k=1}^n \left\lfloor \frac{n}{k}\right\rfloor$$  I've noticed $$\sum_{k=1}^n \left\lfloor \frac{n}{k}\right\rfloor = \left\lfloor\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=1}^{\left\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\right\rfloor} \left\lfloor\frac{n}{k}\right\rfloor\right\rfloor + \sum_{k=1,\ odd(k)}^n \left\lfloor \frac{n}{k}\right\rfloor$$  But I can't see an easy way to let the second term enter in a recursion. One-hot vs dummy encoding in Scikit-learn There are two different ways to encoding categorical variables. Say, one categorical variable has n values.  converts it into n variables, while  converts it into n-1 variables. If we have k categorical variables, each of which has n values. One hot encoding ends up with kn variables, while dummy encoding ends up with kn-k variables.  I hear that for one-hot encoding, intercept can lead to collinearity problem, which makes the model not sound. Someone call it "".  My questions:   Scikit-learn's linear regression model allows users to disable intercept. So for one-hot encoding, should I always set fit_intercept=False? For dummy encoding, fit_intercept should always be set to True? I do not see any "warning" on the website. Since one-hot encoding generates more variables, does it have more degree of freedom than dummy encoding? Disable password request from suspend - 18.04 Can "zero hours contracts" be considered as not grammatical? Python Argument Binders How can I bind arguments to a Python method to store a nullary functor for later invocation?  Similar to C++'s boost::bind.  For example:  def add(x, y):     return x + y  add_5 = magic_function(add, 5) assert add_5(3) == 8 Is it possible to pagebreak aligned equations? The report I'm writting features a lot of long, multiple lines equations. To reduce visual polution I've been using an aligned environment nested inside equation. This way (unlike just using an align environment) I get only a single label for all the lines.  The problem is that so many long equations often need to be broken into two pages, otherwise I get lots of blank vertical space in the document. However the aligned environment does not allow the \displaybreak command.  Is there an alternative way to achieve a pagebreak inside an aligned equation?  Here's a sample ofthe equations I'm using  \begin{equation}     \begin{aligned}     ...\\     ...\\  %I need to pagebreak here     ...\\ \end{aligned}\end{equation} What is the difference between operator "=" and "==" in Bash?
