In other words, which file causes Siri to stop changing PID?  Even though I force process to quit, it will spawn again.
I have answered 'No' to Siri initial prompt, but I can still see it in my process list. I've tried to kill it, but it loads again immediately. How can I unload and remove Siri from my Mac?
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? In Lieb and Loss's Analysis, I saw that they mentioned  $L^1(\mathbb{R}^n) \cap L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ dense in $ L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (dense wrt the $L^2$ norm, I think). But I didn't find its proof in the book. So I wonder why it is?    Does this conclusion hold for $L^1(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mu) \cap L^2(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mu)$ for any measure space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mu)$?  Are there similar statements if replace $L^1$ with $L^p$, and  $ L^2$ with $L^q$ for $p \leq q \in (0, \infty ]$ or $\in [1, \infty]$?  Thanks and regards! Word for Negatively Surprising I'm searching for a word representing "Negatively surprising", or "Negatively amused" in an appropriate form. Example: Someone who proclaims he aims to do things in the right way has done something in the completely opposite way.    How could you have done such a thing? That action is very ___.   Said with the purpose of showing the contrast between the expected and the actual, and asking for change to adhere with his set goals, instead of just pointing out disappointment.  It is different from  because it asks there about surprise of being affected by the disappointment. The meaning of surprise here is different. Sometimes we assume that regressors are fixed, i.e. they are non-stochastic. I think that means all our predictors, parameter estimates etc. are unconditional then, right? Might I even go so far that they are no longer random variables?  If on the other hand we accept that most regressors in economics say are stochastic because no outside force determined them with some experiment in mind. Econometricians then condition on these stochastic regressors.  How is this different from treating them as fixed?  I understand what conditioning is. Mathematically, it means we make all observations and inference conditional on that particular set of regressors and have no ambitions to say that inferences, parameter estimates, variance estimates etc. would have been the same had we seen a different realization of our regressors (such is the crux in time series, where each time series is only ever seen once).  However, to really grasp the difference between fixed regressors vs. conditioning on stochastic regressors, I am wondering if anyone here knows of an example of an estimation or inference procedure that is valid for say fixed regressors but breaks down when they are stochastic (and will be conditioned on).  I am looking forward to seeing those examples! I'm having trouble with the exercise in the title, even with part (a), which asks to prove that if $X$ is a closed subset of $\mathbb{P}^n_k$ of dimension at least 1 and $H$ is a non-empty hypersurface, then $X$ and $H$ meet.   Following the hint, I've done the following: By assumption, $X$ is given by $V(I)$ for some homogenous prime ideal $I\subset k[x_0,\dots x_n]=:A$ and $H$ by $V(f)$ for some homogenous polynomial $f\in A$. We wish to prove that there is a homogenous prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ (that's not the irrelevant one) containing both $I$ and $f$.  Consider the affine cone $\mathrm{Spec}\ A/I$ of $X$ in $\mathrm{Spec}\ A$. Being homogenous, both $I$ and $f$ are contained in the ideal $(x_0,\dots x_n)$. By Krull's principal ideal theorem, every minimal prime ideal containing $f\mod I$ has codimension one. $X$ having dimension at least one implies that there are homogenous prime prime ideals $\mathfrak{q}\supsetneq \mathfrak{r}\supset I$. This implies that $(x_o,\dots x_n)$ has codimension at least two. Thus there are prime ideals containing $f\mod I$ that are contained in $(x_o,\dots x_n)$. However, I'd need to show that there are homogenous such prime ideals, right? I'd rather get hints than full solutions. AppleScript to read all notifications in the Notification Center OSX 10.10 Yosemite It seems like the following AppleScript is no longer working in the latest version of the OS X 10.10 (Yosemite): on run     tell application &quot;System Events&quot;         tell process &quot;Notification Center&quot;             set theseWindows to every window             display notification (count of theseWindows)         end tell     end tell end run  This were supposed to get all notifications listed in the Notification Center. However, the count attribute always returns 0. Does anyone know how to retrieve all notifications in the Notification Center different than the script above? iOS Calendar Access Permission Dialog, force it to appear? Let $M$ be an A-module and $f \in \text{End}(M)$ an idempotent endomorphism. Show that $M = \ker(f) \oplus \ker (f-\text{id}_M)$. I don't know how to approach this exercise, using only properties of modules and direct sums, without projections. Can you help me? Thanks in advance. Deseasonalizing count data I used stl() in R to decompose count data into trend, seasonal &amp; irregular components. The resulting trend values are not integers anymore. I have the following questions:   Is stl() an appropriate way to deseasonalize count data? Since the resulting trend is not interger valued anymore, can I use lm() to model the trend components? Why is $1$ not considered a prime number?  Or, why is the definition of prime numbers given for integers greater than $1$? Text editor to edit large (4.3 GB) plain text file Is there any text editor, which can edit such file?  I've  tried:   gedit kate nano vim mcedit   without success. What is $A^-$ in topology? Hartshorne Algebraic Geometry Proposition 1.5 (page5) In a notherian topological space $X$, every nomempty closed subset $Y$ can be expressed as a finite union $Y=Y_1 \cup \cdots \cup Y_r$ of irreducible closed subsets $Y_i$. If we require that $Y_i \nsupseteq Y_j$ for $i \neq j$, then the $Y_i$ are uniquely determined. They are called the irreducible components of $Y$.    I understood the existence of such a representation. But I can't understand a sentence in  the uniqueness part, which I highlighted: Let $Y=Y_1 \cup \cdots \cup Y_r$ and $Y=Y&#39;_1 \cup \cdots \cup Y&#39;_s$ be two such representation. Then we can deduce that $Y_1=Y&#39;_1$ (the details are in the textbook). Now let $Z=(Y-Y_1)^-$, then $Z=Y_2 \cup \cdots \cup Y_r$ and also $Z=Y&#39;_2 \cup \cdots \cup Y&#39;_s$.  What is the operator $^-$? I understood it as a closure, is it right? But then how can I deduce that $Z$ is represented as $Z=Y_2 \cup \cdots \cup Y_r=Y&#39;_2 \cup \cdots \cup Y&#39;_s$? How to get current CPU and RAM usage in Python? In the Breusch-Godfrey test we use a model  $$ e_t = \varepsilon_t + \beta_1 \varepsilon_{t-1} + \dots+ \beta_p \varepsilon_{t-p}. $$  If we reject the null hypotesis of no serial auotocorrelation of the error, it means that the residuals follow an auto-regressive model of order ($p$).  If I want to avoid this problem, I must add a certain number of lags of the response variable $y$ as regressors in the original model. However, in some cases this method is not useful.   Are there other options to consider? While rendering a mesh with smooth shading on, I get a dark region/shadow on certain faces. The effect is more evident when smooth shading is applied to a mesh containing ngons, with the ngons turning black when rendered.   The blackening effect is visible in the viewport too.  How can I solve this problem? Biblatex handling of Dutch "van" prefix This question has been posed in many different variants, but not exactly as I ask here, so please do not consider this as a duplicate.  I use biblatex with the option useprefix. I would like to have the following automatic behavior:   Name prefixes are rendered before the last name in the bibliography, but always in lower case. The name prefixes are ignored for the sake of sorting of the bibliography. In running text, the name prefix is rendered with a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, and lower case elsewhere (possible using \Textcite vs. \textcite).   To achieve this, I can have three author fields for each concerned entry, with the following scheme:  author = { {v}an Dijk, A.} shortauthor = { van Dijk, A.} sortname = {Dijk, A. van}   Is there a simple way to automate this? Ideally, such a way could also allow for easy changing of the system. How to disable Spotify indicator in the top panel? The Spotify indicator icon clashes with the native Unity theme, and is redundant, since it is already listed in the Sound indicator menu. Is there a way to remove or disable the Spotify indicator? Or at least to change the icon (couldn't grep it on my filesystem). I am using the Spotify "preview" with 12.04. Thanks! Full Wi-fi/ethernet signal but no internet I'm really hoping someone here can help me, as I'm getting pretty frustrated with my macbook now. I have a late 2011 model 15" macbook pro running OSX 10.9.5 that refuses to connect to Internet on my home network. I have the same problem whether it's WiFi or through ethernet cable, I have full signal but not getting online. Every other device connects fine; android phones and tablets,xbox one, iPhone and other macbooks, all online and browsing the net. I have had no problems connecting to other networks with my macbook pro before and I just tried at a friend's house to check, with no problems. A little something, that may be a clue to someone: when I open network diagnostic tool, my macbook pro connects for something that seems like a microsecond and it tells me I'm connected to Internet and everything seems fine. My IP is 192.168.0.5 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and IPv6 is set to automatic. None of the options are checked under the proxies tab. Now I've tried the following, in different order and a number of times, to no avail:   Renewing/turning off&amp;on/inputting manually DHCP.  Restarting/resetting the router and the macbook.  Turning WiFi on/off. Remove &amp; add services (WiFi &amp; ethernet). Checked and copied all network settings from another macbook pro that's connected and online on my network. Ran network diagnostic and assistant tools Duplicated/removed/added location Removed the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder. Removed network password from keychain.      I've tried other things too, but can't remember what else right now.

My attempt to solve was to use the Argument Principle on the function $f(z)=ze^{a-z}-1$, in hopes of recovering the number of zeroes that way. The integral I attempted to compute for this was $$\int_{|z|=1} \frac{e^{a-z}-ze^{a-z}}{ze^{a-z}-1}dz=\int_{|z|=1}\frac{1-z}{z-e^{z-a}}dz$$  I do not know how to proceed from here, as the $e^{z-a}$ in the denominator seems problematic.
