How can I ensure that friends with iPhones send me SMS/text instead of iMessages? I have an android phone and normally use the Google Messages app for sending and receiving SMS. Yesterday, I used the macOS Messages.app app for the first time to send a friend a link.  I guess they have an iPhone, because now when they text me it comes to Messages.app instead of to my phone.  I'm assuming this will be the same for all other iOS users. How do I prevent all Messages.app and iOS Messages users from sending me NON-SMS messages?  Thinks I have tried:  Closing Messages.app.  I still get macOS notifications of messages. In Messages &gt; Preferences… &gt; Accounts &gt; [my email address], untick &quot;Enable this account&quot;.  Then my friends messages disappear and I never see them at all, at least until I reenable in Messages.app. Looking in System Preferences and on icloud.com and appleid.apple.com to see if there is some setting I can disable—but I've not found anything relevant. Using  to unregister my mobile number.  When I attempted this it gave me the message &quot;Your phone number is not registered with iMessage.&quot;  This question was closed as a duplicate of , but as noted my phone number is not registered with iMessage, so that question is not relevant. Am I doomed to never receive SMS from iPhone users ever again?
Removing phone number from iMessage I'd like to remove my phone number from my iMessage account, but still have my phone enabled to receive messages sent to my email address (also used on iPad, Mac). Is there a way of doing this?
I just ordered the Nvidia GTX card. I have a dilemma, though. Should I keep using the driver which is available in "additional drivers" in Ubuntu, or should I install the driver from the Nvidia site?  So which driver is the best for me? I have a bunch of SD cards that do not have the little plastic switch for the read only setting. so Windows thinks it’s write protected or something. The card is not write protected by the software lock present on the SD card standard.  I’m using one with tape over the notch and it’s ugly. Also, the Thinkpad slot drags on the tape all the time so I’m afraid it will might loose in there eventually.  So, is there any way to tell Windows to ignore this lame write-protect feature?  I’m not interested on the SD card itself as it’s irrelevant for the issue at hand. Read this question as being about a 5.25” floppy disk drive instead of an SD card if you wish. I’m pretty sure the Windows settings are the same for both, really.  I’m  that there are 3 ways to secure an SD card. I’m talking about only the mechanical switch, which is the responsibility of the host to handle. I see the  on the user page.  It seems to edit posts sometimes.  What is it? And why has it downvoted over 1800 times? See also: Watched screen recording but it's not saved to the desktop I recently recorded a session with my dad. I stopped the recording after the session ended (with the setting set to save to Desktop), clicked the icon that appeared on the lower right corner to open the file, and played back a few minutes to make sure it worked. I then clicked Share to send it via AirDrop to my computer, which did not work; the status remained &quot;cancelled&quot; despite my efforts. I assumed I'd be able to access it through my phone by sending it through a third app, so I pressed cancel on the AirDrop pop-up window. The entire screen recording closed and (apparently) vanished forever after the action. I'm extremely frustrated because I can't seem to locate this video. Lie algebra and tangent space at the identity are isomorphic Define the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of a Lie group G to be the set of all left-invariant vector fields of $G$. I want to prove that   $$          f: \mathfrak{g} \rightarrow T_eG \\              X \mapsto X(e) $$ is a linear isomorphism.  The only thing that I have left to prove is surjectivity.Letting $v\in T_eG$, we set $X\in \mathcal{X}(G)$ such that $\forall x\in G,\,X(x)=L_{x_{*,e}}(v)$ (I still have to show that such an $X$ is indeed a vector field on $G$). We get that  $$ f(X)=X(e)=L_{e_{*,e}}(v)=v $$  where the last equality holds because  $$       L_{e_{*,e}}(v)f = v(f \circ L_e) = v(f \circ id_G) = v(f) $$ for any $f\in C^\infty(G)$. (I am thinking of the tangent vectors as derivations).  Now all we have left to do is prove that such an $X$ is left-invariant, and it is therefore an element of $\mathfrak{g}$, but I do not know how. I tried to prove that  $$            \forall f\in C^\infty(G),\, L_{{x}_*,y}(X(y))f=X(L_x(y))f $$ but with no success. Does pointwise convergence of continuous functions on a compact set to a continuous limit imply uniform convergence on that set? The problem is in Marsden - Elementary Classical Analysis 2nd ed. Ch.5.  My approach was   Condition : $f_k, f(\in\mathcal C) : A\to N$, $f_k \to f \ \text{(pointwise)}$ and $A$ is compact. Since $A$ is compact, the range of $f_k, f$ are all compact, so bounded. Since $f_k, f\in\mathcal C_b$, if $\|f_k-f\|\to 0$ in $\mathcal C_b$ then $f_k\to f \ \text {(uniformly)}$.   when the norm of $\mathcal C_b$ is defined by $\|f\|=\sup\{\|f(x)\||x\in A\}$.  I got stucked in 3, showing $\|f_k-f\|\to 0$. I don't even know the proposition is true. Can anyone give me some hint to solve this or a counterexample for this? How do you make sure email you send programmatically is not automatically marked as spam? This is a tricky one and I've always relied on techniques, such as permission-based emails (i.e. only sending to people you have permission to send to) and not using blatantly spamish terminology.  Of late, some of the emails I send out programmatically have started being shuffled into people's spam folder automatically and I'm wondering what I can do about it.  This is despite the fact that these particular emails are not ones that humans would mark as spam, specifically, they are emails that contain license keys that people have paid good money for, so I don't think they're going to consider them spam  I figure this is a big topic in which I am essentially an ignorant simpleton. How do I change the default file manager back to Nautilus? A while back, I set my default file manager to Nemo. I like it a lot, but it constantly crashes. I remember editing a text file to set it as default, but I forgot which file it was. How do I switch back to the Nautilus file manager? Do extension fields always belong to a bigger field? Let $F$ be a field, $E_1$ and $E_2$ are two distinct extension fields of $F$. Is it the case that we can always somehow find a field $G$ that contains both $E_1$ and $E_2$? In other words, could extensions of fields have different 'direction's such that they are incompatible?  Edit: I began to think about this problem while reading a proof. $F$ is a field. $a$ and $b$ are algebraic over $F$. $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ are two polynomials in $F[x]$ of minimum degree that respectively make $a$ and $b$ a zero. The proof claims that there is an extension $K$ of $F$ such that all distinct zeros of $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ lie in $K$. For a single polynomial, I know this kind of field exists because of the existence of splitting field, why it is true for two polynomials? How to plot ROC curves in multiclass classification? In other words, instead of having a two class problem I am dealing with 4 classes and still would like to assess performance using AUC. Allow deleting a tag wiki or excerpt Sometimes a tag wiki excerpt or body ends up with unacceptable or useless content: plagiarized text that must be removed, or a totally unhelpful dictionary definition. (For example:  — and I've seen this situation many times before.)  The only way to get rid of that content is to submit replacement text that meets the minimum length requirement. This is not always easy as writing a decent wiki, and especially a decent excerpt, requires subject knowledge.  Currently the users or even moderators who are alerted to unacceptable content in a tag wiki cannot remove that content without providing their own, which they are not always in a position to do. Yet these wikis would be better off with no content than with either unacceptable or unhelpful content, or some content written by a non-expert in a hurry.  Please provide a way for users to blank a tag wiki excerpt or body. I'm not sure what the reputation requirement should be: same mechanism as for tag wiki edits (suggested edits with approval), or only done directly by a user with the trusted user (20k) privilege, or moderator-only. Why with two classes, LDA gives only one dimension?

How can I solve this problem? SSMS wont give up file associations Is there any way to distribute spacing equally in every object?    Is there any option to do? I want 2MM spacing in every geometrical shape.  Thanks in advance. If a function $f$ defined on $[a,b]$ and differentiable everywhere, does it mean that its derivative $f'(x)$ is continuous everywhere on $[a,b]$?  My understanding is 'yes'. Because if there were 'a gap' in $f'(x)$, we could integrate back to $f(x)$ and show that where the gap is, there would be a sharp "angle" where $f(x)$ is not differentiable. Variance of product of multiple independent random variables I tried getting a good measurement with my caliper, but the flexibility of the tire doesn't help much. Let's say I have a 26&quot;x2.125&quot; tire. I know this fits on an ISO 559mm bead seat diameter rim, and 26&quot; = 660.4mm. 26&quot;:  The OD of the tire including the tread? The OD of the tire excluding the tread? When aired up or deflated? Means it fits a 559mm ISO BSD None of the above?  2.125&quot;:  Width of tread? Width of sidewall? Inflated or deflated?  Essentially, I'm converting the tire sizes to &quot;height off rim in mm&quot; and drawing them with a wheel in a web application, so I need to know how &quot;tire size&quot; translates to this measurement. I'm somewhat assuming that the fractional sizes can be converted to the same measurement, but I'm aware that they have certain differences - so any help there would be of value as well.  has been helpful, but still leaves me with the questions above. Why does the atmosphere rotate along with the earth? I was reading somewhere about a really cheap way of travelling: using balloons to get ourselves away from the surface of the earth. The idea held that because the earth rotates, we should be able to land in a different place after some time. As we all know, this doesn't happen.  Someone said that the reason why this doesn't happen is because the atmosphere (air, clouds etc.) also revolves around the earth (with the same angular velocity as the earth's rotation). Since we are also part of the atmosphere, our position doesn't change relatively.  Well, I'm not convinced with that answer. Why does the atmosphere rotate along with earth?  Gravitational force is towards the centre of the earth, but I don't see how it's making the atmosphere rotate.
