How to describe what is conformal bootstrap and what's its application in renormalization group?
Looking for intro to Conformal Bootstrap
Understanding psql prompts Is there anything that is totally random? When I say totally random, I mean absolutely random, not pseudorandom. If I want to say "totally random" numbers such as 1,26,17,4,1 and 27, although I see them to be totally random, they aren't. These are numbers that I think are influenced by my childhood, ideology and everything that I've seen. So, what do you think? Is there anything completely random? Please stop bounties from turning off community moderation Possible Duplicate:                tl;dr: Please get rid of "This question has an open bounty and cannot be closed"  Questions with bounties on them can't be closed:    This is by design, and the recommended course of action is to flag for moderator attention, at which point they'll decide whether to refund the bounty and close the question or not.   But why should a bounty disable regular community moderation?  We should be able to cast close votes on bountied questions as usual, and if a question gets enough, the bounty's refunded and the question closed.  An obvious benefit would be reduced burden on moderators, but I doubt that this is really a significant part of their workload.  More important is allowing the entire community's wisdom to be brought to bear.  Consider this question:      Having a simple MFC application with web browser controller that navigates to some site and then to another one on and on.      Using a powerfull machine (16 cores and lots of memory) OS is Server 2008 R2. I can see when launching my app over 30 instances I'm getting the OS UI (each window including my app, mspaint, taskmgr etc..) become very sluggish and slow.      I have monitored the machine resources (CPU, memory and GDI objects) but it seems that all of them are not even close to be in some level of stress.      What is the problematic resource that influence the machine in such way?      10x, Guy   It doesn't look like a good question: somewhat poorly written, vague, not a ton of information, etc.  I would vote to close this question.  However, I don't do much work with MFC and maybe there's something I'm missing.  (I can readily imagine a similarly bad looking question with the extremely concrete answer: .)  I'm comfortable casting a vote to close, not closing unilaterally.  Flagging for a moderator just passes the buck to them, when the correct action is letting the community weigh in. Product of two cyclic groups is cyclic iff their orders are co-prime Say you have two groups $G = \langle g \rangle$ with order $n$ and $H = \langle h \rangle$ with order $m$. Then the product $G \times H$ is a cyclic group if and only if $\gcd(n,m)=1$.  I can't seem to figure out how to start proving this. I have tried with some examples, where I pick $(g,h)$ as a candidate generator of $G \times H$. I see that what we want is for the cycles of $g$ and $h$, as we take powers of $(g,h)$, to interleave such that we do not get $(1,1)$ until the $(mn)$-th power. However, I am having a hard time formalizing this and relating it to the greatest common divisor.  Any hints are much appreciated! How to find lines matching a pattern and delete them? In a file with lots of lines I want to delete lines that starts with HERE IT IS.  How can I do this using only command-line tools? Reason for the current trend to use «she» as the gender-neutral pronoun? There are some questions on gender-neutral pronouns both  and on .  User Christine Letts :     In academia, there is currently a   movement toward using the feminine   pronoun at all times.   I wonder why that is. I came across several examples on papers I read, but the only one I can remember at the moment is a book: Seth Godin's . While some might not be comfortable labeling it as part of academia, it suits my point perfectly. Every time he refers to a person, he uses the feminine pronoun.  User Senseful  the following, potentially identifying affirmative action as the precursor for this trend.     I remember reading somewhere that it   was recommended to use the opposite of   what most people stereotype the   profession as. So, for example, when   talking about a chiropractor, you   would use "her", and when talking   about a secretary, you would use   "his".   So, where do you think this trend comes from? I have the following problem: two groups A and B.  The proportions of married and single are ($p_1$) and ($p_2$) respectively, and the standard deviations ($s_1$) and ($s_2$). The sample consists of  ($n_1$) A and  ($n_2$) B observations.  Now I want to test whether the proportions are equal. I use the following formula to compute the z-statistic:  z = $abs(p_1 - p_2) / \sqrt{ \frac{p_1(1-p_1)}{n_1} + \frac{p_2(1-p_2)}{n_2} }$  and test the hypothesis: h0: $p_1 \neq p_2$  An alternative approach I tried is to estimate the t-value based on the standard deviations (hence just comparing means), that is by the formula (assuming unequal variances):  t = $abs(p_1-p_2)/\sqrt{ s_1^2/n_1 + s_2^2/n_2 }$  My question are:    do you agree with my approach or; should it be two-sided or one-sided?   Thank you. Why has my database connection failed? 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. A couple years ago, it was easy to root any device: Install KingRoot, KingoRoot, or a similar app, hit the large ROOT button, and let it do the rest. After 5 minutes or so, a green "Root Succeeded!" prompt will pop up, and we can choose to keep the root app, or uninstall it and install a clean root manager app like SuperSU/Superuser.  How do they work? Why aren't they working anymore? And if they work, should I use them or not? How do I get label of the selected item from a lightning:select drop down list? I would like to get the value of the label of the selected drop down item.  In this case, the label is the Name of the Contact.  &lt;aura:component&gt;  &lt;aura:attribute name="contacts" type="Contact[]"/&gt;  &lt;lightning:select label="Contact" aura:id="contactList" name="contactList"&gt;     &lt;aura:iteration items="{!v.contacts}" var="c" indexVar="index"&gt;        &lt;option value="{!c.Id}"&gt;{!c.Name}&lt;/option&gt;    &lt;/aura:iteration&gt;  &lt;/lightning:select&gt;  &lt;/aura:component&gt;   I know how to get the value:  component.find("contactList").get("v.value");   But how do I get the label? Square bracket notation for dimensions and units: usage and conventions One of the most useful tools in  is the use of square brackets around some physical quantity $q$ to denote its dimension as  $$[q].$$  However, the precise meaning of this symbol varies from source to source; there are a few possible interpretations and few strict guidelines. What conventions are there, who uses them, and when am I obliged to follow them? Set same icon for all my Forms Is there any way to set the same icon to all my forms without having to change one by one? Something like when you setup GlobalAssemblyInfo for all your projects inside your solution. How can PPAs be removed? How can Star Trek: Countdown ever be considered canon? How to make a teleport command that does not work in the Nether? I have a vanilla server 1.8.7 that uses a book to tp players to spawn or to their home (an invisible armor stand with their uuid connected to it). Problem is, if they set home (place their armor stand) in the overworld and go to the nether and try to tp home (activated using a trigger), it sends them to the same co-ordinates in the nether, and most likely kills them.   I did some digging, and there seems to be a dimension parameter, but I can't quite figure out the syntax or how to get it to work.  I updated the command block to:  /tp @a[score_tpHome_min=1,Dimension=0] 68 68 68   I was hoping it would only tp the player when they were in the overworld (Dimension 0), but it seems to be ignoring that parameter in the nether and still teleporting to those co-ordinates in the nether.   I also tried:  /tp @a[score_tpHome_min=1,Dimension:0] 68 68 68   Which is the way other people were using the parameter in other ways, but that gave an error. How quickly does the Ultimate Meter fill up? I read this book in Middle School and I can't for the life of me remember the title, but I can remember what it was about for the most part:  Takes place in the future, the government imposes laws that outlaw people from being different in appearance and skill level. For example, if you are fast or strong or tall, they will put weights on you to weigh you down so that you'll be more slower/shorter and more like the average. Another example, if you are pretty the government issues you "ugly glasses" etc.  Basically, it's all about making sure everyone is equal and punishing the extraordinary.  One of the main characters (a man) decides to literally loose himself of his shackles and weights, breaking them to display his power (if I'm remembering correctly).   Any ideas folks? According to , if there is a potential difference, $V$, across a resistor then there is a current, $I$, flowing through it.   Since we assume that points along the connecting wire are at the same potential, how can current, $I$ flow between points at the same potential, $V$?
