Is there a way to get "people reached" sum across entire network for a user? The New Model profiles on Meta.SE (pretty big improvement!) have a section for "" stat.  Now, unless I'm much mistaken, that stat is specific to a given site on the network.  If that assumption is indeed correct, is there a way to find out the "People Reached" summary across 100% of the sites on the network for all your connected profiles? I met this equation frequently in Guass-Newton optimizations. But I dont understand why the left and right side of the equation can be equal.  Lets say the Jacobian is $2$ by $2$   and Hessian is $$\begin{bmatrix}\frac{\partial^2f_1}{\partial^2 x_1 } &amp; \frac{\partial^2f_1}{\partial^2 x_2  } \\ \frac{\partial^2f_2}{\partial^2 x_1 } &amp; \frac{\partial^2f_2}{\partial^2 x_2  }\end{bmatrix}$$   But the right hand side of the equation is  $$J^TJ =\begin{bmatrix} \left( \frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_1} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_1} \right)^2  &amp;  \frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_1}\frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_2} +\frac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_1}\frac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_1}\\ \frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_1}\frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_2} +\frac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_1}\frac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_1} &amp;\left( \frac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_2} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_2} \right)^2\end{bmatrix} $$  Why can these two be equal as presented in papers? Someone from Mars is called a Martian. Someone from America is called an American. Someone from Europe is a European. Someone from Hyrule is a Hyrulean.  We are not far from colonizing other planets, let alone Earth's only moon. Obviously you wouldn't call someone from the moon a lunatic right? What if you are on Mars? What would I call a foreigner from Earth? Earthean doesn't sound right. Dimensions with Rank-Nullity question $f:V \rightarrow V$, $\dim(V) = n$  a) If $n$ is odd, prove that there does not exist a linear transformation with $\operatorname{im}(f) = \ker(f)$  b) Is it false to affirm the previous statement if $n$ is even?  My answer: $$ i = \dim(\operatorname{im}(f))\\ k = \dim(\ker(f)) \begin{cases} n=2i                           &amp; \text {if $i=k$} \\ n=i+k   &amp; \text{if $n\neq k$} \\ \end{cases}  $$  b) Yes.  Is that a valid proof? Comma usage with compound sentences {actually compound predicates as per Rob's answer} Rule 101 of compound sentences is that a coordinate conjunction must be accompanied by a comma most of the time when joining independent clauses, yet I stumble across sentences all that time that seem to abuse this rule. Normally, it's a case of the subject not being present in the second clause, as in the following example:      "They usually start out as an abbreviation, but turn into acronyms   when they become well known."   (taken from the Oxford Style Manual)   To me, this comma cannot be correct because the clause after the comma doesn't contain a subject and therefore cannot be independent (right?). As far as I'm concerned, it's not the 'Comma to set off a contrast rule because I can find plenty of other where 'and' is used and the subject's missing in the second clause.  what's the deal here?   Thanks in Advance for any responses I may receive! In a PHP5 class, when does a private constructor get called? Let's say I'm writing a PHP (>= 5.0) class that's meant to be a singleton.  All of the docs I've read say to make the class constructor private so the class can't be directly instantiated.  So if I have something like this:  class SillyDB {   private function __construct()   {    }    public static function getConnection()   {    } }   Are there any cases where __construct() is called other than if I'm doing a   new SillyDB()    call inside the class itself?    And why am I allowed to instantiate SillyDB from inside itself at all? Auto reply to text and/or iMessage? Is it possible to set up an auto-reply to an incoming text or iMessage, either on my iPhone (or the connected Message app on my Mac)?  Ideally I'd like to customize this depending upon the sender. CNAME for top of domain? Is it possible to set a CNAME record at the top of a domain? (i.e. @ CNAME www, @ CNAME foobar.com., etc.)  My ISP says that it's only possible to use CNAME's for subdomains but I've read somewhere else that is should be possible even if not recommended. In computer science we discuss an abstract machine called a "deterministic finite automaton". The standard initialism for this term is "DFA". This makes sense in the singular usage of the initialism.  However, the pluralization of the word "automaton" is "automata". One speaks of "an automaton" or "many automata". Consequently, it seems intuitive to form an initialism of the phrase "deterministic finite automata" as "DFA".   This does not seem correct, as "DFA" could be either plural or singular. On the other hand, "DFAs" also does not seem correct because it would seem to expand to "deterministic finite automatons", a phrase which no self-respecting computer scientist would ever utter.   This appears to be a duplicate of the question here   But that question was never clearly resolved. What to do? How to call Apex REST API from Javascript? I have two different developer orgs. One contains apex REST web service, and I want to call that REST service from my second org. I have tried to call that REST service using normal ajax post request and forcetk.js, But I got following error     XMLHttpRequest cannot load   . Origin    is not allowed by   Access-Control-Allow-Origin.   I searched about this problem then I got to know that Salesforce never allows CORS (Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing).  Initially I was using apex to call that REST web service, that time I was able to post data from apex. But as we have callout limitation in salesforce, I want to use javascript.  Can anybody please help me? I saw several bugs and error messages when I was looking by chance into the tool called "logs".  Being a newbie in Ubuntu I have no idea how to deal with these bugs, where to report them or how to fix them.  Any help to guide me here?  The bug I have (which is listed under important) reads:  [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x52 (or later) when is this series convergent. Let $(x,y)\in \mathbb{R^2}$ and consider the series   $$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\sum_{\ell,\,k=0}^n \frac{k^2 x^k y^\ell}{\ell!}$$  Then for what values $(x,y)$ the series converges. I have absolutely no idea how to deal with it. Custom Cursor Image CSS I have a number of heroshot images, that have a modal popup when clicked.  I'm trying to get my cursor to turn into  magnifying glass whenever it is moved over the image. The following CSS does not appear to work even though my magnify.cur is present in the right location.  a.heroshot img {   cursor:url(/img/magnify.cur), pointer; }   Has anyone ever done anything similar? I don't mind a JavaScript solution if one exists.  EDIT: It works in Safari, but not in Firefox. I can't seem to find a few of the Stones, so, is there a list available with the location of all the stones? ASP.NET MVC custom routing for search Here is my scenario.  For the example lets say that I need to return a list of cars based on a search criteria.  I would like to have a single View to display the results since the output will be the same, but I need several ways of getting there.  For instance, I may have a Form with a textbox to search by year.  I may have another separate page that contains a hyperlink for all red, Toyota cars.  How do I handle these multiple scenarios in the same View and Controller.  My dilemma is that the search could contain several options… year, make, model, etc but I don’t know where to put them.  What is the best approach for this?  Should I define the parameters in the routing or go with query strings, etc? iCloud Disassociation for a Mac Computer I had a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro that recently stopped booting. I narrowed this down based on troubleshooting of the boot device to likely the SATA/hard drive connector/cable no longer working for whatever reason.  I have decided to sell the system. I'd like to know if I remove the hard drive (or in this case, an after-market SSD I've installed) from the system, will there be any other data (i.e. iCloud data) stored on the system on any other chip that I can reset in any way? I plan to reset the SMC/NVRAM before I sell the system off of to someone else.  Additionally, if I remove the hard drive, is the system still associated to iCloud (specifically Find My Mac) or any other service? If so, how do I disassociate it? The system will no longer boot even if I put in my boot device.  Thanks! Do the Manuals and Tomes allow you to exceed 20 in an ability score? And can they be stacked? I am looking at items like Manual of Bodily Health, Tome of Clear Thought, etc.  Quoting from Manual of Bodily Health     If you spend 48 hours ... your Constitution score increases by 2, as   does your maximum for that score.   This sounds to me like when you read the tome according to the instructions, you are then allowed to increase your CON up to a maximum of 22.     Is that a correct reading -- that these magic items allow a player to override the usual ability score maximum of 20? Probably, you were already at 20 when you read it, but if, say, you were at 18 and read it to bring your CON up to 20, could you then later increase your CON further via feats or ability score increases gained at certain levels? Can you read more than one book of the same type, to increase your maximum by an additional 2 points? Why didn't Skynet kill Kyle Reese? I have two feature Datasets. Both are Polygons. Dataset A has very big Areas and Dataset B just small ones. Now, B still overlaps in 2 or 3 Zones from Dataset A.   I want to perform a spatial join and put the result comma seperated in just one row like this:  Zone_ID_A  |  Zone_ID_B     1       |   2,3    2       |   2,4    3       |   5    4       |   1,6   I know this is possible with ArcMap but i could not figure out a way to do this in QGIS, any ideas? 9-speed system to 11-speed drivetrain upgrade?
