Weird thing in references/bibliography page Python Referenced For Loop How does the simulation hypothesis relate to the ethics of simulated violence? Say, for the sake of this question,  is real. Are we then hurting "persons"/conscious beings in "our simulations" - video games - when we fight them? Why (not)? If so, is this unethical? Think for example about shooting an alien in the game No Man's Sky.  Edit/answer on the comment of Joseph Weissman: My reasoning is like this:   It is unethical to harm a person (with a person being everything that has ). By the simulation hypothesis (assuming it's true), everything around us (everything that we know of), is simulated. By 1 and 2, all persons we know of are simulated. So it's unethical to harm the simulated persons around us. A game is a simulation just like we are in a simulation, so the game has simulated persons. Therefore -  - it's unethical to harm the persons in a video game.   I know that the premises - besides the simulation hypothesis itself - are debatable, but that's the reason I asked the question in the first place.  I was also thinking that the characters in the video game differ because they have far less to no intelligence, that much of it is scripted. But I neither have a proof that we ourselves aren't scripted, with free will being an illusion. Also, how intelligent does a character in a simulation/video game has to be to have personhood then? I think this is a case of the .  Just to be sure, please note that this question is not about whether the simulation hypothesis is true or how likely it is to be true. It is about (one of the) consequences if the simulation hypothesis is true. It's also not a question about violence in games in general. Proof verification: Set of partial limits of a sequence is closed Replacing ArcPy with ArcGIS API for Python? Today I found out about the . I was wondering if you could use this to (eventually) replace ArcPy?  Recently I have been doing analyses that require cloud based solutions. When using AWS, Docker and Jupyter it is very convenient to stick with a Unix based OS such as Ubuntu. However, the Unix alternatives for ArcGIS have their own limitations as well such as the always hard to install python bindings for the  GDAL library. ArcGIS for Python operates cross platform.  Perhaps there are the things I should and should not expect from the ArcGIS API for Python.  Perhaps Arcpy is going to disappear altogether. How to help a toddler overcome the fear of water on head? Cannot change lock screen background on Ubuntu 18.04 How does the clean Installation of Windows 10 after the free upgrade work? I have not found any information from MS - only speculations from people like me, so I hope someone here has had better findings.  When I upgrade a qualified version of Windows to Windows 10 and then want to do a clean install, I've heard that the installer won't ask for a key. But what if my HDD is formatted before I attempt the clean install? How does Windows 10 try to detect the valid "upgraded" status? It seems that it doesn't in such a case, at least as far as I've tested.  So my question is: In that (or a similar) scenario: How do you clean install Windows 10?  In my case it's actually even more complicated. I'm from Germany so I can re-use OEM-licenses due to law. I have two qualified Windows OEM licenses which I both installed in a VM on my Linux installation and upgraded both to Windows 10.  Now I want to install one of them onto my bare physical machine - how would that be possible? Is there an official way of doing this or do I need to wait for those unofficial "backup license"-tools being updated to work with Windows 10?

Alright, my thing is that i did not understand how to set the integral Give users a way to see their "Positive Question Record" score How to check if value is in range of cells? I want to check if the value of a cell exists in a range of cells. How can I do this?  Just like you would be able to do "if value in list_of_values" in Python for example. What is the explanation of the non-existence of magnetic monopoles? How to Search for Files Recursively into Subdirectories I am trying to look for all XML files in a particular directory and all sub-directories (recursively) inside it.  ls -R *.xml is only listing files in the current directory. I am quite sure, the sub-folders themselves have several .xml files, but none are showing up.  Is this a configuration issue? Matlab Recursion Loop I opened the PC in the morning, and this is what I got:      As is visible the icons of the UWA apps were no affected and the start menu also is unaffected.    When Control Panel is in category view the entire page is empty and in large/small icons the name is visible, no icons.  I deleted the iconcache.db in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local folder. Following the instructions here: . But to no avail and now windows is not rebuilding the cache.   I also ran sfc /scannow but no changes took place.  What should I do?

I want to expose my laptop as a wifi hotspot so that i can use internet on my samsung galaxy ace.  I have tried Connectify but my chipset is not supported so it simply make the adhoc network. Tried Bzeek. My phone get connected, but no browsing.  Any solution that you guys have?  PS: I am in no mood to root my device. Prove $0! = 1$ from first principles How can I prove  from first principles that $0!$ is equal to $1$? Why are true and false so large? Where did Schrödinger solve the radiating problem of Bohr's model? One of the problems with Bohr's theory to describe the hydrogen atom, was that the electron orbiting around the nucleus has an acceleration. Therefore it radiates and loses energy, until it would collapse with the nucleus.  Now Schrödinger describes the electron as a wave function. His theory is able to describe all atoms (in contrast to Bohr's model), but how is the radiation problem solved? I understand that the wave has not an exact position in the time anymore. But the electron still "moves", so it has an acceleration anyway (because of vibrations or so).   Why is in this theory the electron not radiating anymore? And if it is, why doesn't the atom collapse?
