If I have a series of points (coordinates), how do I find the location of a new point as far away from all the other points as possible?
Find the point which is furthest away from existing points while remaining within the convex hull
A get() like method for checking for Python attributes is a light side power that many Jedi, including  are capable of. In Episode I, Qui-Gon uses it twice (once to outrun droids and once on Jar Jar's tongue), Obi-Wan uses it once and Anakin uses high speed reflexes for the entire duration of the pod race with no formal training.  According to  the power has a high drain and requires a longer recovery period than other powers. And then of course there are hilarious drawbacks such as .  But why wasn't this power used in the following scenarios (and many, many others):   The Redshirt Jedi who accompanied Windu to arrest Palpatine, before they were summarily dispatched to the Nether. Qui-Gonn, to avoid a lightsaber through his gut. Yoda, to avoid flying senate seats. By Windu, who is supposedly a notable practitioner. Trigger an event with Prototype Does anybody know of a method to trigger an event in Prototype, as you can with jQuery's trigger function?  I have bound an event listener using the observe method, but I would also like to be able to fire the event programatically.  Thanks in advance What does a two overlapping circles symbol mean in an electrical schematic/diagram? In the datasheet for a A3503 Hall Effect Sensor, I saw a circuit diagram labeled 'Functional Block Diagram', and it shows a symbol I have not seen before. It's shown here between 3 - Output and 2 - Ground.  What is this supposed to represent?    The full datasheet is available Can noindex tags on several pages affect the overall SEO or ranking on Google? Some SEO Gurus assured me that noindex attributes are good to devalue the unimportant pages.   When I asked in the moz Q and A, they're quite sure that having noindex on the bulk of the articles on the website can harm overall SEO ranking.   Which is true? When to comment or answer My son is 5 years old.   Over the last few months I have been observing some disturbing sexual behavior from my child.  He is rubbing his penis on  the bed or pillow. Sometimes he would get naked and rub very tightly and make some sounds of pleasure! Previously, I thought he was playing... but later I understood.   His father doesn't want me to scold him, but one day I was really surprised and shocked by one incident... when I was in deep sleep in the afternoon, I suddenly woke up and saw he had pulled up my skirt and trying to mount me! I was really shocked!  I'm really upset.  What should I do? Prove existence of a real root. Problem: If   $$C_0+\frac{C_1}{2}+\cdots + \frac{C_{n-1}}{n}+\frac{C_n}{n+1} =0,$$  where $C_0,...,C_n$ are real constants, prove that the equation  $$C_0+C_1x+\cdots +C_{n-1}x^{n-1}+C_nx^n=0$$  has at least one real root between $0$ and $1$.

I have tried , but it did not work and the disk spin downs anyway !  The problem is that if the disk spins down, because it is on suspend, it does not show the "de encryption" prompt, and boots back up on RAM, but crashed due to IO error on the disk! (that's what the disk is suposed to do !)  Anyone on how to NOT (as in NEVER) spin down a HDD ? (yes this goes against all logic but this particular case)   Thanks a lot !

Is it possible to set start-up applications to initialize in certain workspaces?

Taken from :  Show that it cannot be the case that $U=X+Y$ where $U$ is uniformly distributed on [0,1] and $X$ and $Y$ are independent and identically distributed. You should not assume that X and Y are continuous variables.  A simple proof by contradiction suffices for the case where $X$, $Y$ are assumed discrete by arguing that it always possible to find a $u$ and $u'$ such that $P(U\leq u+u') \geq P(U\leq u)$ while $P(X+Y \leq u) = P(X+Y \leq u+u')$.  However this proof does not extend to $X,Y$ being absolutely continuous or singular continuous. Hints/Comments/Critique?

We will be crossing the Italian/French border through Mont Blanc via cable cars, which we heard through Rick Steve's article: .  We will be starting off in Chamonix and arriving in Courmayeur. What's the fastest (and relatively cost-effective) way to get to Milan from Courmayeur? When I go to , my tablet is listed, but not my phone. I had signed up just as soon as ADM was available, and at that time both devices were listed. Now, for the last several days, I can only see my tablet. (For what it's worth, both devices appear in the "My Devices" section of the Google Play Store.)  I have done the following while troubleshooting:   Ensured that the Android Device Manager settings in Google Settings are both on. I have even toggled them off and back on again Ensured that Location Services are on Ensured that all sync services for my account are toggled on and work Have connected to the Play Store several different times Ensured Google Play Services is at the latest version Made sure I'm using the right account. (In fact, I removed the other secondary accounts from the phone) Power-cycled the phone several different times   I could understand if ADM couldn't find the phone due to it being off, out of range, poor signal, etc., but ADM would at least display the phone and tell me it couldn't find it.  So, any suggestions to get my phone to show up on Android Device Manager?  I would like this to be working before something happens to the phone. ( and all that.)  Although it shouldn't make any difference:   Tablet: Nexus 7 (2012) with Android 4.3 Phone: Verizon Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2.2   Addendum:  There's apparently some (relatively new) advice on the :   Open  Google Settings from your device's apps menu. Touch Android Device Manager. Uncheck Allow remote factory reset. Go to your device's main Settings menu, then touch Apps > All > Google Play services. Touch Clear Data. Note that this action doesn't remove personal data. Go back to Google Settings and select Allow remote factory reset. Restart your device.   I have followed these steps, but it doesn't appear to have worked. I  to the question "" which was specific to the question asked.  Another user engaged positively with my answer, as there was a small conversation thread.  That person then  and made what I would say are minor modifications (the comments I left in my original code that pertained to the specific case are still in the places where he made edits to be more specific).  The answer does acknowledge that it is a general case of my specific code.  Ignoring the fact that I'm involved in it, what should one do when seeing this situation?  The only thing I can think of, and I'm not sure that it's necessarily the right solution, is to flag the answer for moderator attention.  Other possible actions, which I believe are wrong, are:   Editing the answer; that would change its intent Voting the answer down; it's a technically correct answer   One could leave a comment, but that can lead to confrontation and escalation (depending on the parties involved) which would be counterproductive.  The only thing I've done, which is not really related, is edit the answer to hyperlink the already existing attribution (but I do this as a regular edit for any answer which explicitly references another).  What's the best approach here, if any?
