Why can't I catch Pokemon in Pokemon Go anymore?
Pokemon keep running away and Pokestops don't drop anything when spinning. What is going on?
De Rham Cohomology of the tangent bundle of a manifold I would like to compute the de Rham cohomology of the tangent bundle $TM$ of a manifold $M$. It seems to me that we can just homotopy each fibre to a point, and that this would give a homotopy equivalence between $TM$ and $M$. Since de Rham cohomology is a homotopy invariant, this would imply that $H^*_{\text{dR}}(TM) \cong H^*_{\text{dR}}(M)$.     Is it always true that the tangent bundle of a manifold is homotopic to the manifold itself by the homotopy of each fibre with a point? I read this story 30+ years ago in grade school. A man crashes on an alien planet. He has a small amount of water and accidentally spills some, and the planet replicates it but it must destroy part of itself to do so.  The man then finds some stale crumbs in his pocket, puts them in a trough, and the planet replicates them as well, but it's disgusting to eat. The man eventually decides that his situation is hopeless, so he lays down to die on a table in a hot room and thinks he can at least give back to the planet some of the nutrients it sacrificed for him. He falls asleep, and when he awakens, he has been transformed into an alien creature that is perfectly suited and adapted to live on the planet without discomfort to himself or damage the planet. .NET create scheduled task on server fails with E_ACCESSDENIED I have an ASP.NET website (in C#) that takes in user data and then attempts to create a windows scheduled task.  Of course, this works great on the DEV machine, but fails to run on the server.  I'm trying to figure out what permission(s) are required on the ASPNET user (or anonymous web user) to create tasks.  The error is:  Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))  Stacktrace:      at MyScheduler.NewWorkItem(String TaskName, Guid&amp; rclsid, Guid&amp; riid, Object&amp; obj)      at MyScheduler.CreateTask(String name)   I've done some searching, and the suggested resolution is to use the web.config 'impersonate' flag to force the application to run as a user with sufficient permissions, as opposed to the ASPNET account which may not have those permissions.  Example:  &lt;system.web&gt;     &lt;identity impersonate="true" /&gt; &lt;/system.web&gt;    Unfortunately, this does not seem to resolve the issue.  From the documentation I read, this should run as the anonymous web user, but it seems that user does not have enough permissions.  I altered the setting to specify a specific domain user that happens to be an administrator on the machine.  Example:  &lt;system.web&gt;     &lt;identity impersonate="true" userName="WindowsDomain\YourUserName" password="YourPassword" /&gt; &lt;/system.web&gt;    Doing this allowed the application to successfully create the Windows Scheduled Task.  So, obviously, with the correct set of Windows 2003 permissions I can get the app to perform as it does in the development environment.  However, I'm not about to place the network or machine administrator account's user credentials in plain text on a Web.config file.  Does anybody happen to know what permissions exactly need to be set in order to get the ASPNET account to behave as desired?  EDIT:  The Win32 API is being used to create scheduled tasks. How does Mathematica integrate? Derivation of E step in EM algorithm While im going through the derivation of E step in EM algorithm for pLSA, i came across the following derivation . Could anyone explain me how the following step is derived.   $\sum_z q(z) log \frac{P(X|z,\theta)P(z|\theta)}{q(z)}  = \sum_z q(z) log \frac{P(z|X,\theta)P(X,\theta)}{q(z)} $ Solve $[2^{(2^{403})}] = [a]$ in $\mathbb Z_{23}$ where $0 \le a < 23$. Solve $[2^{(2^{403})}] = [a]$ in $\mathbb Z_{23}$ where $0 \le a &lt; 23$.  I've tried to combine corollaries of Fermat's little theorem and various other methods to solve this, but have always been stuck.

Why do soap operas have the soap opera effect? The soap opera effect occurs when frame interpolation is used. For example, if a movie is shot at 24 frames per second and then shown on a TV screen which is capable of displaying 60 frames per second then it is possible to use a computer to do motion interpolation. In other words the computer can average (interpolate) two frames and create a synthetic third frame and stick it between the two real frames.  This interpolation makes the picture look unnatural and plastic, somewhat like soap operas look on TV, hence the name.  My understanding of why soap operas have the soap opera effect has something to do with the fact that many of them are shot using camcorders instead of film, but I am not completely sure.  Why do soap operas have the soap opera effect? Sometimes we assume that regressors are fixed, i.e. they are non-stochastic. I think that means all our predictors, parameter estimates etc. are unconditional then, right? Might I even go so far that they are no longer random variables?  If on the other hand we accept that most regressors in economics say are stochastic because no outside force determined them with some experiment in mind. Econometricians then condition on these stochastic regressors.  How is this different from treating them as fixed?  I understand what conditioning is. Mathematically, it means we make all observations and inference conditional on that particular set of regressors and have no ambitions to say that inferences, parameter estimates, variance estimates etc. would have been the same had we seen a different realization of our regressors (such is the crux in time series, where each time series is only ever seen once).  However, to really grasp the difference between fixed regressors vs. conditioning on stochastic regressors, I am wondering if anyone here knows of an example of an estimation or inference procedure that is valid for say fixed regressors but breaks down when they are stochastic (and will be conditioned on).  I am looking forward to seeing those examples! What is the meaning of "this" in Java? 2D collision detection Let's assume I'm using this character.  (source: ) How would you implement collision detection for it? Using a bounding box doesn't seem to be a good approximation, because the bird's shape is nowhere near a square. I was thinking of having a sort of quad tree data structure inside the object that represents portions of the image. Each leaf could be either false (in case it covers the white/transparent space outside the bird) or true (in case it represents an area of the bird i.e. beak, eye etc). Then somehow test the only obstacle in the scene for collision with the bird. But my problems in my approach are:  I don't know how to initialize the quad tree. Once the quad tree is initialized, I'm not sure how to traverse &amp; use it once the obstacle is within the coordinates of the image.  How would you do collision detection with non-squarish characters? LE: The other approach I've seen was to use multiple bounding boxes. For example I'd have one or a few bounding boxes for the beak, then a few of them for the hair or the tail. But it can get tedious. If this is a valid approach in my case, how would I generate those bounding boxes? I doubt I'd have to have them hardcoded in my program. LE2: I care about fairly precise collisions. I can't imagine how a single bounding box or circle can at least approximate decently that shape, so this approach won't work. How can I disable the drag handle on the desktop?

Thanks in advance! I am looking for a word that would describe being obsessed with the details of a larger entity such that the "looker" neglects to see the whole or (perhaps more importantly) the purpose of the whole.
