I am a physics high-school student so my knowledge is not very deep on the subject. We started learnning about quantum mechanics and on some processes that my teacher described as random. I began to think on the concept of randomness and question it, thinking how can a process or an outcome be determined without any cause, how an outcome be determined at all in complete randomness?  I searched the internet and figured the scientific community does not agree with me. I'd really like to understand how can true randomness exist? Why the scientific community rejects the idea that ''random'' events may just have a cause we are not aware of? What am I missing?  Thanks for answers and sorry for bad English.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I realise that this maybe a borderline philosophical question at this point in time, therefore feel free to close this question if you think that this is a duplicate or inappropriate for this forum. Anyway, I'm an electrical engineer and I have some basic knowledge of quantum mechanics. I know that Schrödinger's equation is deterministic. However, quantum mechanics is much deeper than that and I would like to learn more. If this question is not clearly answerable at this point than can anyone point out some recognized sources that try to answer this question. I would appreciate it if the source is scientific and more specifically, is related to quantum theory.

Merging two incoming broadband lines for faster Internet We have a broadband line coming into our building which delivers around 8-10Mbps, which is okay but not great. Fiber is available in our area (30-100Mbps) but it's not available where we are just yet.   Is there some way we could connect two lines (which we would take from two different providers so we would have redundancy if one failed) and merge them into one signal which we could distribute?  Is there some sort of setup that can do this?  Of course we have the option of a leased line but for 12Mbps symmetrical upload/download we'd be looking at around £500 per month compared to £15 per month for normal or fiber broadband.  I made a small pseudo flow chat of the setup below: has been edited by .   , see revisions 3 to 4.   Now what he did is totally inexplicable to me, as a matter of fact he destroyed the answer. The new version is neither syntactically valid nor does it make any sense.  Still, the edit got "peer-reviewed" and nodded off.  Is there any way to deal with these kinds of things, other than sighing heavily and rolling back the edit?  Rhetorical side question: Could this be a side-effect of people grinding for reviewer badges?

There does not seem to be a way to do this using Create Launcher or Launcher properties. The application is not actually "installed" on the PC, the executable has just been copied.

It’s the  question: Am I looking at someone’s legitimate pronouns or trolling?   (It’s unfortunate I have to ask, but this is just where we are right now.)  I’ve seen “my pronouns are [insert ridiculous fake stuff here]” trolling recently (in posts) when before I never did. Also stuff that looks to be trolling, but could also maybe not be. Trolls deserve red flags while everyone else specifying pronouns does not, right?  (To clarify, the problem is not just about not wanting to use a troll's words. The purpose of some of this trolling is to try and convince people that transgender people—or their neopronouns—are stupid or unreasonable. Ignoring the trolls allows us to avoid the first problem, but not the second since it allows them to still reach people with their message, which is not something that I want to see promoted.)  Some neopronouns are clearly legitimate. Some trolling is clearly trolling. But unfortunately there’s a big grey area where it’s not clear to me what is what.   Does anyone have a good method for dealing with this? There just doesn’t even seem to be a good way to ask about someone’s specified pronouns in such a way that doesn’t sound insulting if the user isn’t trolling.     Note: A while ago, I did some research on neo-/third person pronouns which can be found . There are several important things I found:   There are more neopronouns than I could ever hope to keep track of The most popular neopronouns are very uncommon. On the other end of the spectrum, it looks like some neopronouns are neologisms used by a single person  Some neopronouns come from unlikely places, such as SciFi Multiple disks vs single disk on virtualized environment We're planning to install a SQL Server on this physical architecture:  A hyper-v cluster based on windows server 2019 A cluster shared volume where all VMs live A full-flash SAN that contains the CSV  I've always read that is a common best practice to have multiple disks for data files, log files, temp db files ect...

Payment from Apple for developer Why does the set of all singleton sets not exist? I noticed that Synonymizer is only a bronze badge. Yet in order to obtain this badge you need to have 2500 reputation or more to even create tag synonyms. Then, on top of that you also need to be able to find a tag synonym.  Only 514 of these have been awarded... This makes the BRONZE badge Synonymizer rarer to have than most the gold medal badges. So my question is, why is this a bronze badge? Elementary central binomial coefficient estimates How to prove that $\quad\displaystyle\frac{4^{n}}{\sqrt{4n}}&lt;\binom{2n}{n}&lt;\frac{4^{n}}{\sqrt{3n+1}}\quad$ for all $n$ &gt; 1 ?     Does anyone know any better elementary estimates?   Attempt.  We have $$\frac1{2^n}\binom{2n}{n}=\prod_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{2n-k}{2(n-k)}=\prod_{k=0}^{n-1}\left(1+\frac{k}{2(n-k)}\right).$$ Then we have $$\left(1+\frac{k}{2(n-k)}\right)&gt;\sqrt{1+\frac{k}{n-k}}=\frac{\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{n-k}}.$$ So maybe, for the lower bound, we have $$\frac{n^{\frac{n}{2}}}{\sqrt{n!}}=\prod_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{n-k}}&gt;\frac{2^n}{\sqrt{4n}}.$$ By Stirling, $n!\approx \sqrt{2\pi n}\left(\frac{n}{e}\right)^n$, so the lhs becomes $$\frac{e^{\frac{n}{2}}}{(2\pi n)^{\frac14}},$$ but this isn't $&gt;\frac{2^n}{\sqrt{4n}}$. Consider the sequence $(\phi_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of test-functions $\phi_n\in \mathcal{D}(\mathbb{R})$ defined by  $$\phi_n(x) = \dfrac{n}{\sqrt{\pi}}e^{-n^2x^2}.$$  I want to show that this is a delta sequence, in the sense that:  $$\lim_{n\to\infty}(\phi_n,\psi)=(\delta,\psi)=\psi(0), \quad \forall \psi\in \mathcal{D}(\mathbb{R}).$$  In that case we know that we have  $$(\phi_n,\psi)=\dfrac{n}{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-n^2x^2}\psi(x)dx.$$  The problem here is to compute this integral. The function $x\mapsto e^{-n^2x^2}\psi(x)$ has no singularities, hence contour integration wouldn't help. Integration by parts or substitution also doesn't seem to be of great help.  The major problem is that there is a function $\psi$ inside the integral about which we don't know really anything apart from the fact that it is $C^\infty$ and with compact support.  How can we compute this integral and in the end show that the sequence $(\phi_n)$ is a delta sequence?  Just to make clear, I'm here doing all of this in the context of the Riemann integral.

How To check Windows device is rooted/jailbrake or not programatically? I have eight independent variables and one dependent.  I have run a correlation matrix, and 5 of them have a low correlation with the DV.  I have then run a stepwise multiple regression to see whether any/all of the IVs can predict the DV.  The regression showed that only two IVs can predict the DV (can only account for about 20% of the variance though), and SPSS removed the rest from the model.  My supervisor reckons that I have not run the regression correctly, as due to the strength of the correlations, I should have found more predictors in the regression model. But the correlations were tiny, so my question is: if IVs and the DV hardly correlate, can IVs still be good predictors of the DV?
