Today I saw the following:    Clearly the removed user has voted a tremendous number of times on politics and it is plausible that this is related to voting irregularity.  However, I remember that somewhere I have read that for some specific cases (users with lot of activity / votes), their removal does not trigger this and I am wondering if an algorithm deals with this or not.  Question: Is there a limit for "user was deleted" being propagated as reputation being removed?
I woke up this morning to find that I suffered a massive drop in reputation points across the network because lots of users had been removed.  What happened to those users? Was there a database cleanup?
network manager says "device not managed" If a function $f$ is continuous $\implies$ $|f|$ is continuous.(Answered by Myself) $(i)$ Given a function $f:E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $|f|:E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ by $|f|(x)=|f(x)|$ for $x \in E$ show if $f$ is continuous at $c \in E$ then so is $|f|$.        $(ii)$ Now the converse is not true, find $f$ such that $|f|$ is continuous but $f$ is not. Using a new document class/template with LyX? I tried googling this elsewhere but I'm new to LaTeX and extremely confused about certain things. Basically I downloaded MikteX and I'm using the latest version of Lyx with it. Now all I basically know how to do is make pretty looking mathematics and add contents pages/titles/references/etc.  I'm looking to make a dissertation and my unviersity provides a template,  (available for download at that link).  So, what exactly do I need to do (and please be super specific as I am totally clueless to all the jargon I read).   Basically, I need to download ociamthesis.cls in the first line of that webpage. Does it matter where I save it? What exactly do I do next? How to stop kernel messages from flooding my console? I'm using Centos 6, rsyslog logging. Console is flooded with kernel messages.  Klogd is not running (I'm using rsyslog) Rsyslog config does not direct anything to the console Even tried stopping rsyslog altogether  Still something is flooding my console with kernel log messages. What it is and how do I make it stop? Update: These are the messages generated by the kernel (hardware, iptables, etc.), stuff that goes out of /proc/kmsg, like this:  Shorewall:pub2loc:DROP:IN=br0 OUT= MAC=xxx SRC=xxx DST=xxx LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=15731 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=63767 DPT=3493 WINDOW=8192 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Ready to use leaderboard service. Is any? I'm looking for ready to use thirdparty leaderboard service where player's achivementes and scores can be placed. I'd intagrate it into my game to allow players push scores and locate themselves in the tables of tops. It would be nice whether anybody experienced share some points with me. How to import Apple Mail archive files in Outlook 2013? I need to import Apple Mail archived files in Outlook 2013 on Windows, but every time I open the import wizard and reach the file selection step, I cannot select the archived file. It doesn't even show in the dialog box.  I don't know what the issue is. Is it the file size issue as the archive file is large (about 7 GB) or there is any other fault? Hungerford's book of algebra has exercise $6$ chapter $3$ section $6$ [Probably impossible with the tools at hand.]:     Let $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ be a prime; let $F$ be a field  and let $c \in  F$. Then $x^p - c$ is irreducible in $F[x]$ if and only if $x^p - c$   has no root  in $F$. [Hint: consider two cases: char$(F) = p$ and   char$(F)$ different of $p$.]   I have attempted this a lot. Anyone has an answer? FaceTime not working on iPhone 6 Plus purchased from Dubai I bought my iPhone 6 Plus in Dubai. I am using the phone in Sri Lanka and I cannot use the FaceTime. How can I use FaceTime while in Sri Lanka? After reading the great answer for  by @Ben, I am a bit confused by the part &quot; set the relative tail sizes as a control variable, and then you find the formula for the length of the confidence interval conditional on that variable&quot;. I understand this means you need to compute the length of the confidence interval as a function of the relative tail sizes and then minimize the function. However, what exactly is relative tail sizes? Is it the ratio between the areas of the two tails? Also, is there another way to find shortest CI for a given confidence level? For those who are interested, I know there are somewhat relevant results allowing us to compute sample size such that the length of a CI, say 95% CI, does not exceed a certain bound. Let $A$ be a squared matrix, and suppose there exists an $n\in \Bbb N$ in a way that $A^n=0$. Show that $I-A$ is invertible and that $(I-A)^{-1}=I+A+\cdots+A^{n-1}$    I don't have a clue where to start from. How to create this curved 90-degree-angle quickly Flag indicator present on Meta, but no flags visible It looks as if the 10k-tools flagged post list is b0rken.  Next to the review link in the toolbar there is a flag counter showing there are 10 flags to be reviewed:    Clicking on that flag counter leads to an empty page:        The moment I visit that page (through clicking on the flags counter, or by going to the review queue first then clicking on Tools, selecting the flags tab if not already selected), the flags counter disappears from the toolbar:    but after a while (half an hour, an hour?) the flag count re-appears in the toolbar.  Either the counter is wrong (presumably taken from a Redis cache somewhere) or the 10k flag review page is falling over every time someone tries to load it.  This at first appeared to happen only on Meta, on Stack Overflow the flags page has plenty to review. However, there are now  on Stack Overflow. InDesign: How to restore text-frame position/size to be managed by the master page instead of the actual page? I have some designer that moved slightly a text-frame and in order to be managed again by the master page we need to remove the page and create a new one inserting the content in it.  Is there any different way to do it?  I would like to be able to restore the "power" of positioning/size to the master page because now we need to change the master-page to position the text-frame a little bit to the right and in the case above mentioned will not be updated.  Thanks Proof: $\cos^p (\theta) \le \cos(p\theta)$ I came across this problem when I was at a book store inside of a book made to prepare Berkeley graduates to pass a mandatory exam. I wanted to buy the book, but, alas, I didn't have the money (forty bucks is a lot of money when you don't have a job). So I took my phone out and started taking as many pictures as I could. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the solutions!  Enough backstory. Time for math. The problem is as follows:  Prove that $\cos^p( \theta) \le \cos(p \theta)$ if $0\le\theta\le\frac\pi2$ and $0\le p\le 1$.  I tried using the series expansion for cosine, but that seemed to be a dead end. Then I tried using Euler's theorem, but I got stuck. Then I got distracted and started to think about other cosine identities. For example, $$\cos\left(\frac\theta2\right)=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos(\theta)}{2}}.$$ Then what is $\cos(\frac\theta3)$ equal to? I tried to figure it out then I realized that I needed to find the root of a cubic polynomial. Then I realized that I'm better at staying focused than finding the roots of cubic polynomials.  Anyways, a proof would be nice here. I really appreciate any hints or answers. I apologize for my digressions! supervisor field on the page of the title with Beamer I am editing a presentation of a research project, I am wondering if there is a field for "supervisor" on the page of the title, for instance \supervisor(which actually does not work)... If not, where do people conventionally add it? Clocks for multiple timezones in GNOME Shell I looked everywhere but I couldn't find a way to display multiple clocks in GNOME 3. In classic GNOME and Unity, it is possible. Also, for some strange reason, additional timezones cannot be added to the clock using the time-date applet in classic GNOME. Any solutions? Should I declare chocolate as "food" when entering the US? It is being customary we bring a few authentic Russian chocolate bars/sweets to the US but we are always struggling whether we should check that "food" checkbox in the "Customs Declaration" form?  It is under the following entry in the form (yeah, together with insects, right):     I am (We are) bringing:      fruits, vegetables, plants, seeds, food, insects   I've been always checking it but that just gets us into more lines and triggers extra questions after getting to the baggage check. let $\gamma$ be a closed continuosly differentiable path in the upper half plane  not passing through $i$. What are the possible values of the integral $$\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\gamma}\frac{2i}{z^2+1}dz$$ well the integral can be broken like  $$\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\gamma}\frac{2i}{(z+i)(z-i)}dz=$$  $$\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\gamma}\frac{dz}{z-i}dz-\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\gamma}\frac{dz}{z+i}dz=$$ by Cauchy Integral Formuale $$f(i)-f(-i)$$,so the second integral is $0$ as it is analytic in the upper half plane, but the first integral iss just $n(\gamma,i)$, which iss the windding number of $\gamma$ around $i$ what more I can say? Thank you. I have a dell laptop with 4GB of ram and 500GB of storage.I just finished installing windows 8.1 32bit version, which utilizes 3GB of ram.  Can I install and run Ubuntu to utilize that unusable portion of Ram.Then how?  Thanks in advance AF mirror not flipping on Canon 350D My Canon 350D is no longer raising the AF mirror when it takes a photo.  Instead, it looks like this when the mirror flips up.   This results in a photo that is half black due to the sensor being obscured.  This camera is 9 years old and has never been dropped, mishandled or subjected to harsh temperature or humidity.  Is there any common maintenance I can do to get this thing swinging properly again?
