I'm looking for options to get from the US mainland to Hawaii and I thought doing crew work on a boat/ship/yacht might be an option. How would I go about doing this?
Is there a feasible way to take a one year break from a IT job and work as a crew member on a big ship? How can one go about this? I am a recreational sailor and know intermediate sailing, coastal navigation, radio handling and all that stuff. I think this could be the experience of a life time. Where should  I look? I imagine getting it would be hard since obviously this is a lucrative job.
Run a program without administrative privileges in Windows 7 My account in Windows 7 is an administrator account. When I open the Run box (WinKey + R), I am warned, "This task will be created with administrative privileges."    Is there any way to run programs as myself, but without administrative privileges when logged in as an administrator? Explosive AR(MA) processes are stationary? Application of inverse function theorem for several variable functions Let $f:\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ be continuously differentiable, and assume $Df(x)$ is invertible for all $x\in \mathbb{R}^2$. Also for any compact $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, $f^{-1}(K)$ is compact. prove $f$ is onto.  My Work:  This is an application of inverse function theorem because it satisfies the hypothesis of this thoerem. So $A=f(\mathbb{R}^2)$ is open in $\mathbb{R}^2$. So, $A^c$ is closed. Afterwards I was stuck. please give me a hint. How to find an unknown Steam User I was playing with someone on Ark: Survival recently, I CTD'd and couldn't get his information. Are there any means that I could find this user's Steam account even though he hasn't logged in since?  I know of the function View: Players in Steam, but it only shows me the last 24 hours and I haven't played with this player in 3-4 days. Is there a way I could extend the view recent players function on Steam? Is there a record of this somewhere? Or do I have any further options?

Incredible frequency of careless mistakes I just replaced a broken light fixture in my closet. (The switch in the light fixture broke when I pulled too hard on the chain.)   When replacing the light fixture I noticed that there is only 30 V AC between the white and black wires. The ground wire is cut back and is not being used. By the way, the wiring in my house is all aluminum.   I know the new light fixture works. I checked it out with my multimeter, and I tried it in a different closet. But the light bulb won't turn on because there is only 30 V. (Even if I disconnect the light fixture completely there is still only 30 V.   It seems to me that it must be a problem with the wiring.  My attic does provide some (difficult) access to the wiring, but I am not sure where to start looking for the problem or what to look for. Can anyone offer some suggestions?

Finding the derivatives of sin(x) and cos(x) We all know that the following (hopefully):  $$\sin(x)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}(-1)^n \frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}\ , \ x\in \mathbb{R}$$  $$\cos(x)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}(-1)^n \frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\ , \ x\in \mathbb{R}$$  But how do we find the derivates of $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(x)$ by using the definition of a derivative and the those definition above?  Like I should start by doing:  $$\lim_{h\to\infty}\frac{\sin(x+h)-\sin(x)}{h}$$  But after that no clue at all.  Help appreciated! For a CDF that is not strictly increasing, i.e. its inverse is not defined, define the quantile function   $$F^{-1} (u) =\inf \{x: F(x) \geq u \},\quad 0&lt;u&lt;1. $$  Where U has a uniform $(0,1)$ distribution. Prove that the random variable $F^{-1} (u)$ has cdf $F(x)$.  In case of a strictly increasing CDF the proof is quite easy because the inverse is defined. Define $X=F^{-1} (u)$  $$ P\left[X&lt;x \right]=  P \left [F^{-1} (U) \leq x \right]= P \left[U \leq F(x) \right] =F(x)  $$  But how do I accomondate the nondecreasing CDF whose inverse is given by the quantile function? I am a begginer so any help is welcome. Thank you. Log and natural log Where do I use delegates? What are some real world places that call for delegates?  I'm curious what situations or patterns are present where this method is the best solution.  No code required. Why does the command shuf file > file leave an empty file, but similar commands do not? I know this is sort of a duplicate of another question () but I wanted to expand on the question in response to the answers given.  The command  shuf example.txt &gt; example.txt  Returns a blank file, because the shell truncates the file before shuffling it, leaving only a blank file to shuffle. However,  cat example.txt | shuf &gt; example.txt  will produce a shuffled file as expected.  Why does the pipeline method work when the simple redirection doesn't? If the file is truncated before the commands are run, shouldn't the second method also leave an empty file? I was reading . They are performing a logistic regression (with R). At some point they calculate the probability of getting a residual deviance higher than the one they got on a $\chi^2$ distribution with degrees of freedom equal to the degrees of freedom of the model.
