A word or phrase that describes best a specific type of person or their behavior. The type of person that would not act upon a threat if said threat is not affecting their personal well-being directly.   Context: "Global warming becomes my problem only if I decide to believe I'll live long enough to see the consequences of it."   Proposals that are tightly related to the given context are more than welcome!
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke  Is there an idiom, phrase or preferably a single word that we can call people that could have helped but didn't? Bystanders don't necessarily have help to give. Cowards aren't particularly helpful either.    Addendum:  For example, once EMS has arrived on scene, bystanders are encouraged not to try to help, unless they're a nurse and therefore have the necessary skills to, and sometimes even then so. If in The Service, I would not want a coward (a liability) next me holding the line. Not to take anything away from these great answers, or to insist on a non-militaristic point of view, I would like to veer into the commercial or civilian realm in which I find this quote most often alluded to, E.G., "If we all gave 5 cents we could cure cancer tomorrow." Pretend most of us did give 5 cents and we did cure cancer, but you didn't give. You are now a(n) ____?... yes, I know what we call them, but what is their proper designation?
6-letter permutations in MISSISSIPPI How many 6-letter permutations can be formed using only the letters of the word, MISSISSIPPI? I understand the trivial case where there are no repeating letters in the word (for arranging smaller words) but I stumble when this isn't satisfied. I'm wondering if there's a simpler way to computing all the possible permutations, as an alternative to manually calculating all the possible 6-letter combinations and summing the corresponding permutations of each. In addition, is there a method to generalize the result based on any P number of letters in a set with repeating letters, to calculate the number of n-letter permutations?  Sorry if this question (or similar) has been asked before, but if it has, please link me to the relevant page. I also apologize if the explanation is unclear, or if I've incorrectly used any terminology (I'm only a high-school student.) If so, please comment. :-) Is "of" instead of "have" correct? I want to know, if this bug is fixed, because all previous versions of Ubuntu didn't work for me. So I just want to know, should i leave Windows 10 and go for Ubuntu 17.10. Thanks! Why is absolute value  function   not a polynomial?   I need  a clear  answer to this question please,?  Why couldn't we consider absolute value function as a polynomial?

Isomorphism between $\mathbb{C}^* $ under multiplication with $\mathbb{C}$ under addition. Does there exists an Isomorphism between $\mathbb{C}^* $ under multiplication with $\mathbb{C}$ under addition.  Attempt In my opinion It does not exists.  If there exists such an isomorphism say $\phi :\mathbb{C}^* \to \mathbb{C}$ then, from the fact that Isomorphism takes identity to identity we have $$\phi \left( 1 \right)=0$$  From the fact      Given $\phi:G \to H$ be an isomorphism, then For a fixed integer $k$ and a fixed group element $b$ in $G$, the   equation $x^k=b$ has the same number of solutions in $G$ as does   the equation $x^k=\phi\left(b\right)$ in $H$.   We have $x^4=1$ and $x^4=0$ must have same number of solutions, but the solutions to these equations are 4 and 1 only. Could there be a body of water the size of a planet? how can i automatically record every terminal session? Prove that $2730$ divides $n^{13} - n$ for all integers $n$. Prove that $2730$ divides $n^{13} - n$ for all integers $n$.   What I attempted is breaking $2730$ into $2, 3, 5$, and $7, 13$. Thus if I prove each prime factor divides by $n^{13} - n$ for all integers $n$, it will prove the original problem.   I already proved $2, 3$, and $5$ work. Struggling with how to do $91$?  Other solutions are welcome, but they should be associated with mod and solutions of this kind, because my answer should pertain to what was learned in class.  (Edit: Fixed the 91 problem, being slow today...In any case, I've got this problem now, so no answers are necessary. Posting my own soon.) I read this recently on the web and can't manage to understand it. Not homework -- I haven't done math homework for years.  If $d\mid ab$ then $d=d_1 d_2$, that $d_1|a$, that $d_2|b$ and, further, if $(a,b)=1$ then $(d_1,d_2)=1$.  I know it's the same question... if $a = a_1 a_2 ... a_n$, why can't $d$ divide some $a_i$ and only $a_i$? Photoshop CS6 Resize Rectangle with Rounded Corners This question is about Photoshop CS6. Hopefully the feature was added in this version. Before posting I looked up Google and  and  but didn't find an answer for CS6.  So the question is: Is there a feature within CS6 or a script that allows to resize a vector element with rounded corners without using the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow tool) and not changing the border radius? What would be great would be something like simply using the transform tool or something like a grid resize tool. Logit or arcsine transformation for proportion in meta-analysis Are there any rules in baseball which prohibit teams from "borrowing" players via trade? Every season near the trade deadline, we see teams that are out of it trading expensive players and/or free agents-to-be, typically for younger players or prospects.  For example, Matt Garza, set to become a free agent after the season, was traded to the Rangers for a few prospects.  It made sense for the Cubs to trade Garza, because he wasn't under contract any further than this season, and thus doesn't have much value to them.  Compare Garza to someone like Mike Trout, who is likely the most valuable property in baseball, given his skill and inexpensive cost over the next several years.  There's no way the Angels would trade him, because he'll be the cost-controlled centerpiece of the team for years to come.  However, with the Angels out of it this year, what if they wanted to trade Trout to a contender (say the Pirates), but only for the remainder of this season?  That is, they'd get several top prospects now, and would have an agreement with the Pirates that they'd trade him back in the offseason (for something pretty worthless, say for a journeyman minor leaguer).  The Pirates get Trout for the stretch run and are happy to give up a few prospects.  Trout doesn't have much value to the Angels this year, but he has a ton of value for next year.  So they get a few prospects for him, in exchange for the part of his career which has very little value to them.  So in effect, the Pirates are renting or borrowing him for the remainder of 2013.  Why don't trades like this happen?  Are there any rules prohibiting trades like this? is it true if $f,\overline f$ are both analytic in a domain $\Omega$ then $f$ is constant? I am not able to  find out what property of holomorphic map I need to apply. please help.Thank you.  $f(z)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y)$, $\bar{f}(z)=u(x,y)-iv(x,y)$ How do you square an ideal? For some of you, this question is going to seem extremely basic.  I think I understand what an ideal is. Such as $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$, it consists of all numbers in this ring of the form $2a + (1 + \sqrt{-5})b$.  But then what is $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle^2$? My first thought was $\langle 4, -4 + 2 \sqrt{-5} \rangle$, but that seems wrong somehow. I also had something in the back of my mind saying $\langle 2 \rangle$, but I'm not sure about that one either.  Then I thought about trying to figure out $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle \langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$ when I realized I don't actually understand how to multiply ideals to begin with.  I'm only using $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$ as an example (though that does draw in one question identified as similar that looks much more relevant than all the questions identified as "Questions that may already have your answer"). In a principal ideal domain, would it be correct to think that $\langle a \rangle \langle b \rangle = \langle ab \rangle$?  Any help would be much appreciated. Is there a way to configure pdflatex to make all but the .tex and .pdf files hidden files? I have asked a  about how to manage all the files generated when my LaTeX files are compiled but the approach in the answer I accepted is still unsatisfactory for the many small documents I generate.    I realize the LaTeX  all the files it generates so I can't prevent their creation.    However is there a way to configure pdflatex to make all but the .tex and .pdf files hidden files (i.e., preceded by .)?   (Edit: The two main systems that I use are tex live on Ubuntu Linux and BasicTeX on OS X) Why must a planet be in a star's "habitable zone" to have life? Calculating grid convergence (True North to Grid North) I would like to know how to calculate the grid convergence angle between True North and Grid North for UTM maps. I am using ArcGIS 10.0 (ArcView licence). and have used the  tool from the Cartography toolbox. However, I would like to know how to calculate this angle myself (using Excel) to compare against the ArcGIS result?
