When I am generally flagging a post, I want to include more information for the people who are reviewing my flag. However, the only way I can add my two cents to it is to flag it for moderator intervention which is obviously not the proper usage of that flag. Can we have a little entry field that pops up after you select a radio button when flagging so that you can include more information about your specific flag?
, where a user had taken the time to look at the link on a post and realized that the post wasn't just off-topic, it was actually half-decently-disguised spam. So he flagged it as spam, and an overworked mod declined it, giving the questioner the benefit of the doubt. And we probably want mods to be giving the questioner the benefit of the doubt.  We also want to get rid of spam ASAP, and make the lives of mods easier. I'd like to suggest a feature the mod in question mused might be useful: An optional textbox where you can add a note saying why you think it's spam, so the mod can see it easily. In this case, the helpful user who went the extra mile could have written "Site linked doesn't relate at all to the question, instead solicits BitCoins" or similar.  One can leave a comment on the question, but:   People sometimes leave...unhelpful...comments on spam questions, and we don't want mods to have to take the time to read through them hoping for something useful It allows the user flagging the spam to do so and say why without calling attention to themselves publicly     Update: We may well want this for all flags, but in particular I had reason to want it for an NAA flag, so I've posted .
Is something wrong with StackOverflow's spam filter? Recently there have been huge numbers of spam topics related to football streaming. They have all been spam flagged and deleted but there are more getting posted all the time, I just flagged another 6 or so a few minutes ago. This has been going on for around 3 days now with these topics getting constantly posted over and over again in the  tag. Purely "algebraic" proof of Young's Inequality states that if $a, b \geq 0$, $p, q &gt; 0$, and $\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1$, then $$ab\leq \frac{a^p}{p} + \frac{b^q}{q}$$ (with equality only when $a^p = b^q$).  Back when I was in my first course in real analysis, I was assigned this as homework, but I couldn't figure it out.  I kept trying to manipulate the expressions algebraically, and I couldn't get anywhere.  But every proof that I've seen since uses calculus in some way to prove this.  For example, a common proof is based on this  and integration.  The proof on Wikipedia uses the fact that $\log$ is concave, which I believe requires the analytic definition of the logarithm to prove (correct me if I'm wrong).  Can this be proven using just algebraic manipulations?  I know that that is a somewhat vague question, because "algebraic" is not well-defined, but I'm not sure how to make it more rigorous. But for example, the proof when $p = q = 2$ is something I would consider to be "purely algebraic":  $$0 \leq (a - b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab,$$ so $$ab \leq \frac{a^2}{2} + \frac{b^2}{2}.$$ This is supposed to be related to the  (my justification for the independence tag). In Williams' Probability with Martingales, 2BCL is proven and then the following is given as an exercise:  Prove $S \doteq \sum_{n=1}^\infty p_n &lt; \infty \implies \prod_{n=1}^\infty (1-p_n) &gt; 0$ assuming $0 \leq p_n &lt; 1$. Hint: Show that $S &lt; 1 \implies \prod_{n=1}^\infty (1-p_n) \geq 1 - S$.   Proving the hint: I tried to find $\{a_n\}$ s.t. $$\prod_{n=1}^\infty (1-p_n) \geq \prod_{n=1}^\infty e^{a_n} = e^{\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n} \geq 1 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n \geq 1 - S &gt; 0$$ That is, find $\{a_n\}$ s.t.: 1a. $1 - p_n \geq e^{a_n}$ 1b. $a_n \leq p_n$ I thought of $a_n = \ln(1-p_n)$ (a reason why $p_n &lt; 1$, I guess) Is that right? Edit: Actually, assuming my proof is right, is $S &lt; 1$ used in the proof? If so, where?  From Williams book: How to extend my root (/) partition? I use a 7805 for a project where the circuit needs a higher current (~2.8&nbsp;A) at 5&nbsp;V. So I assume that if I use both ICs in parallel I can increase the maximum current capacity. Would it work? How do you performance test JavaScript code? CPU Cycles, Memory Usage, Execution Time, etc.?  Added: Is there a quantitative way of testing performance in JavaScript besides just perception of how fast the code runs? Prove: $\binom{n}{0}F_0+\binom{n}{1}F_1+\binom{n}{2}F_2+\cdots+\binom{n}{n}F_n=F_{2n}$ Prove: $\binom{n}{0}F_0+\binom{n}{1}F_1+\binom{n}{2}F_2+\cdots+\binom{n}{n}F_n=F_{2n}$;  I was stuck with this question for a while... Help me please!!! Thanks!!! Is it possible to have a rate of change of acceleration? I know this may seem a weird question, but it always bothers me. My physics book (Resnick,Halliday,Walker), and also various sites never say anything beyond acceleration.   But when a moving body is being acted by a variable force , its acceleration will definitely change: it will either increase or decrease. Then there will be rate of change of acceleration with respect to time. So, why don't books mention this? What is the cause for not measuring $\frac{d\vec{a}}{dt}$ ? If it exists, what is the use of it? Find a bijection from $\mathbb R \to  \mathbb R-\mathbb N$. I want to set my function up such that all natural numbers get mapped to $n+.1$ and reals of the form $n+.1$ to $2n+.1$ is this correct? How to superimpose LaTeX on a picture? I know how to add a picture to my LaTeX file, e.g. \includegraphics[width=7cm]{curve.pdf}. What I'd now like to do is place some latex symbols onto the picture. Like a \gamma to name a curve. I do not want to do that in the graphics editing program e.g. because I might want to rename that curve later and don't want to repeat the editing process.  I know I can do a \put in a picture environment. But this environment forces me to specify its size at the beginning. That would be cumbersome since I'd have to go open the graphics file and do some calculations. Is there a way to get the dimensions (or aspect ratio) of a graphics file within LaTeX, so I might use it there? But even if I could do these calculations automatically, I still wouldn't like the redundancy of specifying the width for \includegraphics again, but I could live with that.  Also, is it possible to specify the size in cm to the picture environment? I just tried and got some errors.  So basically what I am looking for is a solution as simple as possible which:  a) lets me specify a width or a height and a file, and displays the image scaled while keeping its aspect ratio and then   b) lets me put LaTeX stuff inside the image in relative coordinates (percentages or 0...1), so I won't have to redo anything should I decide that the image needs to be a bit larger or smaller.  (b is kind of like setting \unitlength to the whole width=height for the 'picture' environment. But of course most images are not square and I also don't appreciate the redundancy (but could live with it).) Will cases with front USB port support USB 3.0? I stupidly ran sudo rm /* followed by sudo rm -R /*  My sites still run, although the vast majority of commands like ls are now broken.  Is there a simple way to get data off the server or reverse some of damage? Typesetting of negative versus minus? I've occasionally seen a negative (when a number is simply negative, not a subtraction), typeset as negative sign that's slightly skinnier and above the centre line of text. Is this proper notation for mathematics and how would one go about typesetting this in LaTeX?   Edit  I believe that calculators were what happened to give me this idea, couldn't find it in any of my math books. Thank you all for the help, it's much appreciated.     Thank you 'Antal S-Z' for the photo link.  However, the question remains, how exactly would I typeset this? How to use siunitx and tabularx together? I'm using the tabular features of siunitx (for what it is worth: v1.3 since I'm on TexLive 2009) to align numbers in tables, eg.  \begin{tabular}{ p{1.5cm} S S S } bla &amp; 1.23 &amp; 4.5 &amp; 67.89 \tabularnewline \end{tabular}   and that works perfectly fine.  Now I would like to have this table span a specific width, or rather to have several tables to have the same width. For this I would normally use tabularx  \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{ p{1.5cm} X X X } bla &amp; 1.23 &amp; 4.5 &amp; 67.89 \tabularnewline \end{tabular}   Now, is there a way to combine the two? To have the number formatting and alignment features of siunitx inside an automatically resizing table? How do I use reflection to invoke a private method? There are a group of private methods in my class, and I need to call one dynamically based on an input value. Both the invoking code and the target methods are in the same instance. The code looks like this:  MethodInfo dynMethod = this.GetType().GetMethod("Draw_" + itemType); dynMethod.Invoke(this, new object[] { methodParams });   In this case, GetMethod() will not return private methods. What BindingFlags do I need to supply to GetMethod() so that it can locate private methods? I took several statistics courses in college but I found that my education was very theory driven.  I was wondering if any of you had a text in Applied Statistics (at the graduate level) that you recommend or have had good experience with.
