Is it possible to open a US bank account without being physically present or having a SSN/EIN?
Can I open a US bank account even if I don't live in the country?
Delay in 4-bit ripple carry adder? In pic below I have drawn a full adder and mentioned their delays, please help me to verify my answer. 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? I have installed Ubuntu on my D: partition using Wubi. Is there any way in which I can remove my Windows from C: drive and move my existing Ubuntu installation to C: drive and make it a regular install. Why "think bright" is used with adjective instead of adverb (think brightly)? I find "think bright" is much more common usage, but why? In my opinion, "Think" is a verb, so it is reasonable to use adverb to describe it.  Examples:      THINK BRIGHT!      The National University of Science and Technology MISIS   () Finding $\frac {d(\tan \theta)}{d\theta}$ Is it two-third or two-thirds? Is it two-third or two-thirds? If both are correct, how does their usage differ? Recursive function, if and which statements Is history expansion disabled in scripts? I understand the following error is due to ! used for history expansion:  $ echo "Hello!Tim" bash: !Tim: event not found   However if I put the command into a script and run the script, there is no problem:  $ cat myscript echo "Hello!Tim" $ bash myscript  Hello!Tim   Why is that? Does the bash manual mention the reason? Maybe the underlying question is what the Voltage-Current curve looks like. Can I drive it from a voltage source (like you drive a heater) or from a current source (like you drive an LED)? Or even different than those two options?  ADDITIONAL1: Say (hypothetically) I have two commercially available identical Peltier's, they are spec'd 6V/3A. Can I connect these in series to a 12Vdc power supply without any worries?  CONCLUSION1: Current/Voltage load curve is reasonably linear, both driving from current or voltage source will do fine as long as the device is operated within its spec. (Olin Lathrop, Russell McMahon)  CONCLUSION2: Don't drive a Peltier from PWM, power loss due to current increase, grows more rapidly than cooling power. (Olin Lathrop)  CONCLUSION3: Beware the mechanical wear of the device with continues cycling. Eg. don't use a thermostat on/off controller. (Russell McMahon) I'm going to reset my Android tab because its internal memory is low.  Is it safe to erase the system data of my android tablet (not rooted)? If I restore the factory setting of my Android, will the uninstallable apps be also removed or only those that can be uninstalled? What is tail recursion? Whilst starting to learn lisp, I've come across the term tail-recursive. What does it mean exactly? Explain travel times and distances on flight A flight from Los Angeles to ABQ is about 2 hours but is ~670.2 miles  A flight from San Jose to Chicago is 4 hours but is ~1859.0 miles  Can anyone explain why the travel time from San Jose to Chicago is not longer and closer to 5.75 hours?  If the distance increase by 2, shouldn't the time increase by a factor of 2 as well? How to disable "time travel" entirely? Norm and unit sphere Where is Jon going? At the end of S08E06 of Game of Thrones, Jon Snow along with Tormund and others of the Night's Watch      leave the Night's Watch.   and go into the woods.  Where are they going? And why? Watching The Lord of the Rings movies I was really captivated by the   elephant riders and the men in brazen scale armor who aided the orcs   against the forces of Gondor and Rohan. From what I know they are from   the cultures that worship Sauron. I'd like to know what Tolkien wrote   about them, their religion, their way of life, and so on.   From I would like to create a XeLaTeX layout where  multicol's columns (two in this case, no figures, text only) are tilted where they meet. The lines still should be ordinary lines below each other, but the start/end points of each line should glide a bit each line for it to look something like this:  xxxxxxxxxx  xxxx xxxxxxxxxx  xxxx xxxxxxxxx  xxxxx xxxxxxxxx  xxxxx SECTION   xxxxxx xxxxxxxx  xxxxxx xxxxxxx  xxxxxxx xxxxxxx  xxxxxxx xxxxxx  xxxxxxxx xxxxxx  xxxxxxxx xxxxx  xxxxxxxxx xxxxx  xxxxxxxxx xxxx  SUBSECTION xxxx  xxxxxxxxxx   So not the whole column is tilted, but one gets narrower while the other one gets wider.  I've seen examples using \parshape, but those I found are based that one counts lines and more or less manually defines the shape. I also would need that LaTeX keeps the multicol functionality (page breaks, text flow, ...) and does this automatically on each page for a longer chapter.  How do I create such a layout? If multicol is not easy to mix with this layout, what would be an alternative? What does the leading semicolon in JavaScript libraries do? In C++/CLI, what does the hat character ^ do? I was reading Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++ 2008 and many of its CLR examples have this definition for main:  int main(array&lt;System::String ^&gt; ^args)   I went back, page by page, to the beginning of the book to find the first such instance with an explanation what it really means, but couldn't find one.  Obviously it means the same as the standard int main(int argc, char *argv[]), but I'd like to know when and why that ^ is really used, and why it even exists (does it do something that pointers * and references &amp; cannot represent)? If I need to use Blender within a colour-accurate workflow, what do I have to do to set that up (including hardware calibration, etc)?
