Do video cables (DVI, VGA) exist that do not need to be screwed in?
Why do video cables (DVI, VGA) still screw in?
Making overview with linked detailed maps in QGIS? I have this weird object (vascular tree) which is empty inside, but closed from the top and the bottom:  However, it is empty inside, which makes me unable to use boolean on a bigger object (I want to make a hole in an object through which this object will go through). So I thought I should fill it and then try to boolean. But, how do I fill it?  Thank you sincerely. Probability of selecting an even natural number from the set $\Bbb N$. I confirmed on  thread that there are as many as even natural numbers as there are natural numbers.   Question : Suppose I have selected a number $n \in \mathbb N$; what is the probability that $n$ is even?  My Thought : $\text{Probability} = \dfrac{\text{n(E)}}{\text{n(S)}}$ Here $\text{n(S)}$ is the set of all natural numbers i.e. $\mathbb N$, and $\text{n(E)}$ is set of all even natural numbers. Since it is proved that number of elements is the set $\mathbb N$ is exactly the same as the number of elements in the set of natural numbers (it’s very easy to put the set of natural numbers, $\Bbb N=\{0,1,2,3,\dots\}$, into one-to-one correspondence with the set $\text{E}=\{0,2,4,6,\dots\}$ of even natural numbers; the map $\Bbb N\to \text{E}:n\mapsto 2n$ is clearly a bijection.) ; Thus, Probability $= \boxed 1$ I know this is definitely wrong.Probability must be $0.5$. But where am I wrong? Can anyone explain ? Thanks! How can I change the registered name in Windows 7 to my own? how do I change the registered name in Windows 7 to my own name?

Does anyone know if I could solve this problem in any way? Thanks I am confused with the definition of non-parametric model after reading this link  and .   Originally I thought "parametric vs non-parametric" means if we have distribution assumptions on the model (similar to parametric or non-parametric hypothesis testing). But both of the resources claim "parametric vs non-parametric" can be determined by if number of parameters in the model is depending on number of rows in the data matrix.  For kernel density estimation (non-parametric) such a definition can be applied. But under this definition how can a neural network be a non-parametric model, as the number of parameters in the model is depending on the neural network structure and not on the number of rows in the data matrix?  What exactly is the difference between parametric and a non-parametric model? subsurf splits the mirrored model into two objects I tried to subsurf this model that I mirrored but when I use subsurf it splits the model into two objects.  Before Subsurf:   After Subsurf:   Any help would be appreciated. How exactly does a "random effects model" in econometrics relate to mixed models outside of econometrics? I used to think that "random effects model" in econometrics corresponds to a "mixed model with random intercept" outside of econometrics, but now I am not sure. Does it?  Econometrics uses terms like "fixed effects" and "random effects" somewhat differently from the literature on mixed models, and this causes a notorious confusion. Let us consider a simple situation where $y$ linearly depends on $x$ but with a different intercept in different groups of measurements:  $$y_{it} = \beta x_{it} + u_i + \epsilon_{it}.$$  Here each unit/group $i$ is observed at different timepoints $t$. Econometricians call it "panel data".    In mixed models terminology, we can treat $u_i$ as  a fixed effect or as a random effect (in this case, it's random intercept). Treating it as fixed means fitting $\hat \beta$ and $\hat u_i$ to minimize squared error (i.e. running OLS regression with dummy group variables). Treating it as random means that we additionally assume that $u_i\sim\mathcal N(u_0,\sigma^2_u)$ and use maximum likelihood to fit $u_0$ and $\sigma^2_u$ instead of fitting each $u_i$ on its own. This leads to the "partial pooling" effect, where the estimates $\hat u_i$ get shrunk toward their mean $\hat u_0$.  R formula when treating group as fixed:    y ~ x + group R formula when treating group as random:   y ~ x + (1|group)  In econometrics terminology, we can treat this whole model as a fixed effects model or as a random effects model. The first option is equivalent to the fixed effect above (but econometrics has its own way of estimating $\beta$ in this case, called "within" estimator). I used to think that the second option is equivalent to the random effect above; e.g. @JiebiaoWang in his highly upvoted answer to  says that      In econometrics, the random-effects model may only refer to random intercept model as in biostatistics    Okay --- let us test if this understanding is correct. Here is some random data generated by @ChristophHanck in his answer to  (I put  for those who do not use R):    @Christoph does two fits using econometrics approaches:    fe &lt;- plm(stackY~stackX, data = paneldata, model = "within") re &lt;- plm(stackY~stackX, data = paneldata, model = "random")   The first one yields the estimate of beta equal to -1.0451, the second one 0.77031 (yes, positive!). I tried to reproduce it with lm and lmer:  l1 = lm(stackY ~ stackX + as.factor(unit), data = paneldata) l2 = lmer(stackY ~ stackX + (1|as.factor(unit)), data = paneldata)   The first one yields -1.045 in perfect agreement with the within estimator above. Cool. But the second yields -1.026, which is miles away from the random effects estimator. Heh? What is going on? In fact, what is  plm even doing, when called with model = "random"?  Whatever it is doing, can one somehow understand it via the mixed models perspective?  And what is the intuition behind whatever it is doing? I read in a couple of econometrics places that random effects estimator is a weighted average between the fixed effects estimator and the "between" estimator which is more or less regression slope if we do not include group identity in the model at all (this estimate is strongly positive in this case, around 4.) E.g. @Andy :     The random effects estimator then uses a matrix weighted average of the within and between variation of your data. [...] This makes random effects more efficient[.]   Why? Why would we want this weighted average? And in particular, why would we want it instead of running a mixed model? I'm using Drupal seven. I want to make the options in a select list be dependent on the value chosen in another select list in a form.  I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I am having difficulty finding a clear answer for how to do this.  The form is for users to enter a work history.  They need to select a squadron which is a node reference to the squadron field type, and this is in a drop-down list.  However, the squadron, is dependent upon a city drop-down list.  Users first need to select a city which will then filter the options for the squadron.  In the squadron content type, I created a taxonomy for city which gets tagged to the squadron.  I would be very grateful for any pointers as to the best way (simplest?) to go about this, or for any useful resources online which would help. Show that all horses are of the same color. Im trying to understand the solution about this, and all the other solutions are.. a bit weird for me and dont answer all my questions!  Reference :   Im using the answer there as reference, but my understanding is a bit different!     Find the error in the following proof that all horses are the same   color. CLAIM: In any set of h horses, all horses are the same color.      PROOF: By induction on h.      Basis: For h = 1. In any set containing just one horse, all horses   clearly are the same color. Induction step: For k > I assume that the   claim is true for h = k and prove that it is true for h = k + 1. Take   any set H of k + 1 horses. We show that all the horses in this set are   the same color. Remove one horse from this set to obtain the set H1   with just k horses. By the induction hypothesis, all the horses in H,   are the same color. Now replace the removed horse and remove a   different one to obtain the set H2 . By the same argument, all the   horses in H2 are the same color. Therefore all the horses in H must be   the same color, and the proof is complete.   Here's what i have come up with :  Suppose a set of 1 horse. $H_a = { horse_{1} }$  Obviously, all the horses in set $H_a$ are the same, since theres just 1 horse.  So using that as the Basis of the induction we can proceed and try to prove its true for $N$ horses.  -- I dont fully understand the part below   As an example : set $H_0$ :   $H_0 = { horse_{1}, horse_{2}, horse_{3}... horse_{n} }$  In my understanding, its because, I can make a subset  formed by 1 horse :  $K_1  = {horse_{1}}$ $K_2  = {horse_{2}}$ ...  I don't get it. I clearly know that this proof is a lie.  And for me, its because you cant claim theres a relation on a set with size $&gt;= 2$ , since :  $H_1 = { horse_{1}, horse_{2}}$  Theres nothing that says $horse_{1}$ equals $horse_{2}$. The basis was for one horse. But that alone is not a proof.  So what should I do ? Aiming at specific body parts My players have been asking to improvise specific combat actions, mostly the archer wanting to aim at specific body parts. I haven't been able to find anything in the DMG or the PHB on the subject so I was wondering how I should deal with this.    How (if at all) should an attack roll be modified when targeting a specific body part? If there is not RAW on this I am open to playtested house rules per . Where do you go for the 'nearest railroad' in Monopoly? In the American edition of Monopoly, there is a Chance card that says:  Advance token to nearest railroad Pay owner twice the rental to which he/she is entitled. If railroad is unowned, you may buy it from the bank.   However, is this the closest railroad, or the next one? If you are standing on the Chance spot in the light blues, do you go all around the board to Reading, which is the closest to you, or do you go to Pennsylvania, which is the first one you land on? Remove a marker from a GoogleMap Can you explain briefly the main concepts and command line tools used to manage file permissions? What does the register keyword do in C language?  I have read that it is used for optimizing but is not clearly defined in any standard.  Is it still relevant and if so, when would you use it? Why is it bad to log in as root? I've often come across posts on forums or other websites where you see people joking in such a manner about running/logging in as root as if it's something awful and everyone ought to know about it. However, there isn't much that a search reveals on the matter.   It may be widely known to Linux experts, but I really don't know why. I remember always running as root when I first tried Linux years ago (Redhat and Mandrake) and don't remember running into any problems because of that.   There are actually some distros that have a bright red background with alert signs all over it as wallpaper for the root user (SuSe?). I still use the "Administrator" account for regular use on my Windows installation and haven't ever run into any problems there either.
