I'm considering taking a loan on my 401k in order to pay off and close 2 credit cards.  I have approximately 30 years until I consider retiring.  The amount of the loan will be $1700 which is less then 20% of my current 401k balance.  I will continue to put 9% of my paycheck into a Roth 401k, and my employer matches 9%.  The loan will be paid back at 3.25% (to myself) and does have $183 in fees.  There are 2 cards I will pay off and close if I follow through with this plan.  One card is 17.9% interest with roughly a $650 balance.  The other is 23% (ish) with roughly a $1,025 balance.  Both of these cards do have an annual fee associated with them, I used them to rebuild my credit and have a newer, lower interest, no fee card that I will keep active for emergencies.  Would it be advantageous for me to pay off these two credit cards and cancel them with a 401k loan? Unable to delete recup_dir.1 folder A folder was created when I used a utility to recover pictures from a cd card that I deleted by mistake.  Now I can't delete it or move it. I am told I am not the owner of it even when I am logged on as root.  How can I delete the recup_dir.1 folder from my machine? Insert title of table of contents into toc I have a little bit of problem. I have to put the title of toc into toc. I've used the following code to do that and it works for me, kind of. The problem is in the title is aligned with the titles of the chapters and not with list of figures etc.  { \makeatletter \let\@oldstarttoc\@starttoc \renewcommand{\@starttoc}{%   \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}\contentsname}% Add ToC to ToC   \@oldstarttoc } \tableofcontents \makeatother }   Here is the picture of my toc.    My idea is to use the same code for  Acknowledgements, Lists of... , Abbreviations etc. Is it ok to try that or there is an alternative? How do I prove this function is bijective? $$ v(s,p)=2^{p-1}(2s-1). $$ The domain is natural numbers and the codomain is also the natural numbers.  And this one: $$ f(s)=2s-1. $$ The domain is the natural numbers, and the codomain is the odd numbers in the natural numbers.  With this one I would do this to show it's injective: $$ \begin{align} v(s)&amp;=v(s_1)\\ \implies 2s-1&amp;=2s_1-1\\ \implies (2s_1)/2&amp;=(2s_2)/2\\ \implies s=s_1 \end{align} $$ So it's injective since if $v(s)=v(s_1)$ then $s=s_1$.  And to show it's surjective $f(s)=y$: $$ \begin{align} y&amp;=2s-1\\ \implies s&amp;=(y+1)/2 \end{align} $$ Then the function must be surjective since every $y$ is the same as the codomain for $f$.  Am I correct? How do you remove a file whose filename begins with a dash (hyphen or minus) -?  I'm ssh'd into a remote OSX server and I have this file in my directory:  tohru:~ $ ls -l total 8 -rw-r--r--    1 me  staff  1352 Aug 18 14:33 --help ...   How in the world can I delete --help from a CLI?  This issue is something that I come across in different forms on occasion, these files are easy to create, but hard to get rid of.  I have tried using backslash  rm \-\-help   I have tried quotes  rm "--help"   How do I prevent the minus (dash or hyphen) character to be interpreted as an option? HDMI to VGA convert I just bought a new HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition laptop that has HDMI out. I already have a couple of monitors that are VGA and I'd like to hook up one of these to dual monitors.  I've read some sketchy reviews of products that try to convert directly from HDMI (digital) to  VGA (analog), so I was wondering if someone has a good recommendation on how to hook these two together. Some questions might be asked on three different sites, each site needing three different answers. For example, a question about a text editor.  So perhaps there should be a way to link the questions on the three different sites. Adding a link manually in the questions is certainly possible, but perhaps a feature officially supporting this will be beneficial. So, this sounds like a stupid question I know but in the bleachverse 'names' are very important and you can only unleash the power of your zanpakuto if you can call out its name. Therefore, if a shinigami is mute, will they ever be able to achieve shikai/bankai? If so then how? Only one case that I know of is for shinigamis who have already achieved bankai to be able to release their shikais without a command.  Answers based on LN are welcome, but if you are citing from a dubious source or a source whose canon status can be question, please specifically mention it. I am mostly interested in an answer based on a  canon source. I am reading Boyd &amp; Vandenberghe's Convex Optimization. The authors use curved greater than or equal to (\succcurlyeq)  $$f(x^*) \succcurlyeq \alpha$$  and curved less than or equal to (\preccurlyeq)  $$f(x^*) \preccurlyeq \alpha$$  Can someone explain what they mean? "FTL" Communication with Quantum Entanglement? Can quantum entanglement make sending a message, whether audio, video, or even Morse code, instantaneous between two points (faster than it could travel normally at the speed of light)?  Let me first be clear, my question is not whether a message can travel faster than light. I simply mean whether a message can be generated here and then a copy of that message heard over there sooner than the message would normally be received.  Say a large number of entangled pairs are generated. One half the particles are given to Jack and the opposite ones to Sally. Jack then hops on a ship and travels 8 months to Mars. Sally then manipulates her particles in the form of a message. Do the corresponding opposite particles get manipulated simultaneously so that Jack receives the message instantly instead of the 16 light-minutes for a classically transmitted message? Lecturer with anxiety. How to survive in academia? I've been a long time member of academia.SE but I created this alt account because the question is a bit embarrassing. I finished my PhD 4 years ago and after a 2 year postdoc at a different university secured a contractual lecturership. During my PhD I never realised I had fear of public speaking, because I always felt secure presenting in front of my supervisor. Even at conferences, his presence in the audience was enough to keep me relaxed.  Fast forward to my postdoc, I was mostly working and publishing by myself. So, even if I had to present something it was to my coauthors, with which I am okay. But as a lecturer doing research part of my time, I am involved in projects and seminars where I am expected to present my latest work. Being on my own has brought out my inner anxiety, so much so that I choked during a presentation, had to drink water to calm my nerves and apologise for my breathlessness and slurred speech. That was the most embarrasing thing in my life. Please note that the anxiety is not the result of me not publishing or doing research. I have published more than most in my department. Knowing that hasn't helped with the anxiety though. I am constantly making excuses to get out of project presentations and seminar talks. Fortunately, the anxiety is less intense in teaching and I am able to manage.   How do I survive as an academic? Now even conference presentations seem daunting. I can publish exclusively in journals, but how do I get out of giving project and departmental presentations? How can I politely refuse to present without revealing my situation? Or better yet, how do I fix the whole thing? That one bad presentation has really messed me up. How to make crs transformation of a QgsVectorLayer? I need to transform QgsVectorLayers in python from one crs into another crs. By googling I found the following solution (), which works for points only:  crsSrc = QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem(4326)    # WGS 84 crsDest = QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem(32633)  # WGS 84 / UTM zone 33N xform = QgsCoordinateTransform(crsSrc, crsDest) pt1 = xform.transform(QgsPoint(18,5))   Is there a way to make a crs transformation of an entire layer? Finding UMVUE of $\theta$ when the underlying distribution is exponential distribution Hi I'm solving some exercise problems in my text : "A Course in Mathematical Statistics".  I'm in the chapter "Point estimation" now, and I want to find a UMVUE of $\theta$ where $X_1 ,...,X_n$ are i.i.d random variables with the p.d.f $f(x; \theta)=\theta e^{-\theta x}, x\gt0$.   I know that $E(X_i)=1/\theta,$ for each $i$, and also have that $\bar{X}$ (or equivalently $\sum_1^n X_i$) is a complete sufficient statistic for $\theta$. But I cannot go any further here. Somebody can help me? Norms Induced by Inner Products and the Parallelogram Law Stack Overflow in ES, PT, RU, JP have mixed-language descriptions Refer to an item in `dirs` I use pushd to work with multiple directories in bash and zsh. I've aliased dirs to dirs -v so that I get an ordered list when I want to see what's on the directory stack:  chb$ dirs 0  /Volumes/banister/grosste_daever_gh/2013-03-27/reader 1  /tmp/20130618202713/Library/Internet Plug-Ins 2  ~/code/foo/view/static/css 3  ~/Downloads   Is there a way (either in bash or zsh) that I can refer to one of the directories listed on the command line using an alias for its position on the stack? For example, instead of typing:  chb$ cp ~/code/foo/view/static/css/baz.css ~/code/bar/view/static/css/   I'd type:  chb$ cp &lt;2&gt;baz.css ~/code/bar/view/static/css/   ...or something like that, maybe using a dollar sign and a variable name instead of &lt;n&gt;. Terminal : needs full path to execute a command Let's suppose i have an application in /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/myapp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp.  When i use cd to reach the directory 'MacOS' and then issue the command myapp it says command not found.  But when i issue the command with the full path like /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/myapp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp it works.  I had the same problem with mysql inside xampp.  Why is that? Count the number of fish caught in total if we are given the number of fishermen who caught at least $n$ fish. Some fishermen caught some fish. No one caught more than 20 fish. $a_i$ is the number of fishermen who caught at least $i$ fish. How many fish were caught?   So my guess is that the number of fish caught has to be $$ a_1+a_2+\ldots + a_{20}$$  I reason that if a fisher man caught $n$ fish then he will appear in the tally $n$ times.   Is this logic correct? How to get business map location displayed in the right hand sidebar of the Google search results page?
