QUESTION: If a propagation speed of a gravitational field is not enough to make possible the change of impulse of one object to be registered by all other objects in the universe instantly, how can the gravity itself hold the large structures in the universe? - ANSWER: where the charge used to be, as one might expect from a speed of light delay. Actually, "instant" gravity was part of Newton's theory of gravity.. OR ELSE PLANETARY ORBITS WOULD BE UNSTABLE. This may seem quite a bit puzzling with how it fits with general relativity's claim that changes in the gravitational field propagate at the speed of light, but it's actually not that peculiar. Multifolds are in constant tessellative interactivity with universal diversfolds . As an analogy, the electric field of a uniformly moving electric charge is directed toward the instantaneous position of the charge--. not. 10 billion times the speed of light,. Instant gravity works both onto local multifolds and onto universal diversfolds . it would be possible to consider what effect a speed of propagation for Newtonian gravity would have on the stability of solar system, and it was found that this speed had to exceed at least

QUESTION: Which country has a higher chance of accepting immigrants for permanent residence for either skilled workers or students, Canada or Australia? - ANSWER: I work in a leading immigration Consultancy since past 3 and a half years. I do not work under sales department, I am in documentation. So I know in and out of immigration. Your chances of permanent immigration, whatsoever, are less than 10%., Let me give a data of last year. Last year, the number of registration we took for Canada immigration were 1813 including couples. The number of invitations received for Permanent Residency were less than 100 including PNP and French Candidates. Secondly, no employer hires a foreigner from outside Canada. Of course, if you have a rare skill - you are through. Even if you have CLB9 in your IELTS score, there are lots of other factors like experience, proof of funds, medical, etc. Do you know that more than 10% of candidates who receive invitation are rejected on medical grounds? They have a right to reject your application even if your blood pressure is slightly higher according to their "standards". Still, however, Canada is the most fair immigration process among other countries, as they genuinely call people as per their skill requirements, unlike Australia., Talking about Australia, let me tell you on your face that you are not invited. Unless, of course, you have some rare talent or an occupation in which they are highly under supply. Even after fulfilling all the requirements, you will have to stay in a rural area of Australia for 3 years, otherwise your PR will not be renewed. Last year, we lodged an expression of interest of 513 people for Australian PR, out of which only 9 could make it through. Also, before lodging EOI, you are required to get a positive skill assessment, which is 80% of the time negative in first attempt. Not to mention, it costs a fortune., So, an average person spends $5000-$6000 for immigration process, out of which, most of the files are not selected due to 1 out of 100 reasons from the respective countries applied., Moreover, grass isn't green on the other side too. After reaching there, you might find the actual crisis of unemployment. Small percentage of people have come back because they couldn't cope up with the living expenses. Even though the countries are developed, crime rate is not low. Specially, if you are living in a semi-developed country like India, you'll not find much difference in crime rates. Of course, standard of living is much higher and population is less, so less conjuction., Finally, I'd like to say, do not have high hopes for immigration. It's a pure business of selling hopes. If you are processing your file, keep it as a lottery. So you do not have to go through depression and anxiety. Otherwise, you'll spend 1000s of dollars, waste 4-5 important years of life, only to find out it was worthless., There is nothing wrong in migrating to another country for a betterment of life. However, it is next to impossible, costs a ton and after achieving it, maybe it isn't that worth.

QUESTION: Is the Tesla semi-truck viable for long-term trucking? - ANSWER: Long term? Sure. It's going to be simpler and cheaper to maintain., If you meant long-haul, no. They're YEARS away from making one with a sleeper. And they'll need to roll out a nationwide charger network., But they're not even playing in that field. They're only doing the 5-600 miles a day and charge overnight sector, which is about half of the trucks on the road. Then they'll roll out the OTR trucks.

QUESTION: Why did the British Empire disintegrate in the twentieth century? - ANSWER: Every great empire eventually fell apart by overextending itself. By the end of 19th century, British empire was way too extended than they had resources to manage. Although they tried hard to avoid European entanglements [. Splendid isolation]. sooner or later they had to face the rise of Germany - a very prosperous region of Europe since the end of the Western Roman Empire. When that powerful region became united in the mid 19th century, both French and English interests were bound to be deeply impacted. , By the First World War, it became clear that UK alone could not face the German threat and needed the involvement of the US. Ireland was already breaking away during the WW1 and UK they could not keep the next door colony, it became showing the end of the empire's days. After the end of WW1, UK became quite dependent on US loans and technology., In World War 2, UK and France tried desperately to avoid the war, as they had barely enough resources to salvage their crumbling empires. Eventually they could not avoid the war and became consumed by it. , At the end of the war, their most prosperous colony and the largest ever colony for any country in history - India - broke free. Without India, they had little use for a number of their Asian possessions and they were given freedom too. Later, USSR, India and other countries helped freedom movement elsewhere and Africa too broke free - ending the era of colonialism. , This map would give you an idea of how big India was relative to other British possessions in 1900. , , 75% of the empire by population was just India. When that part split apart due to the freedom movement, it was practically the end of British Empire., Larger the empire, faster the end - as they spread their resources too thin. Happened to Romans, happened to Persians, happened to Greeks, happened to Soviet Union, happened to Mongols, happened to Ottoman Turks. Uncontrolled expansion is the sure and easy way an empire to commit suicide. , , A Brief History of the World. More context and details in my Quora book:

QUESTION: Given an undirected graph and two sets of nodes, which is the best algorithm to check that every item of the first set is adjacent to every item in the second set? - ANSWER: That every/every necessity means that you'll ultimately have to check every node in either of the sets to see if they are adjacent to every one in the other one to get a positive answer., However, there are ways to improve the time taken to get a negative. Order every node in each set by number of adjacent nodes. If any given node has less adjacencies than the other set has nodes, then it is impossible for the condition to be true. After that, there are various heuristics that can help, but those greatly depend on the relative sizes of the sets and how dense/sparse the adjacency matrix would be.

QUESTION: What did Omar, Tlaib expect Israel to do when they support the BDS movement? - ANSWER: They expect Israel to be in the wrong., If Israel objects to their voicing support for the BDS movement, they will claim that Israel is oppressing their free speach., If Israel does not object or react to their voicing support for the BDS movement they will claim that Israel is weak and knows it is in the wrong., For this group it is a Win-Win situation because they will twist anything that happens to gain media exposure., I don’t expect them to denounce terrorism. Until they openly declare that terrorism has no place the the civilized world they are part of the problem (both in Israel and in the US).

QUESTION: Can a CA become a CFO of a company or is it only the people who are CFA? - ANSWER: The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) these days also termed as Finance Director Or Finance Controller at any organization is bestowed with the responsibility of Financial Management & Planning. The major responsibilities include regulatory financial reporting for the company’s accounts (includes following the best practices for accounting standards & policies ex: depreciation & amortization policies for the firms assets, classification of incomes, provisioning, reporting under the Listed company obligations to the exchanges etc.), financial budgeting in terms of cost benefit analysis, project financing, cash budgeting, bond issuances, legal matters in turn roles into taxation, operations & enterprise risk., Now coming to whether a CA or a CFA would be a best fit at this position:, A Chartered Accountant (CA) is best equipped with financial reporting & book keeping methodologies, audit, taxation practices both direct & indirect, company laws, costing practices, while a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) need not be equipped with these skill sets. A CFA is much more concerned for analyzing the financial accounts & while a CA is concerned to make those. A CFA would be best to analyze about the peers set of companies & execute the required strategy at the organization to improve on the processes & be more efficient. A CFA can look much deeper into getting the private organization listed, fund raising activities like new debt or equity issuances, fund deployment activities like capital budgeting, improving on financial metrics & ratios by using the right financial strategies, look after prospective firms to buy for in organic growth etc., That being said a CA would best fit into a CFO role while a CFA would best fit into a strategy role at any organization., PS: Please ignore any typos

QUESTION: What do I need for a motion graphics portfolio? - ANSWER: At minimum, a youtube or vimeo account with as many different motion graphic samples you can share. You really can’t have too much, but if you do have a lot, then just post your best work. The basics that people want to see are intros, outros, lower 3rd supers, and full screen cards. If animated explainer videos are in your wheel house, share as many of those as you can. Corporate clients love this “white board” style videos (for some reason) but really any animated infographic video will help you land more gigs., Then once you have your portfolio sample someplace, share them regularly on social media. If you have time, start a small blog or tumblr account where you explain the work you've done and how you solved problems or were inspired to make the design choices you made. All of this will boost exposure of your work.

QUESTION: If you were to have a Danganronpa execution, what would it be? - ANSWER: Hm… I’m not sure what kind of execution I’d have, based on my interests. I love writing, reading, anime, and Danganoronpa. So let’s go with writing. Beware, it’s really long., I’m in the middle of a library. It’s a little dim, but still easy to see. I notice a laptop—. laptop on a table. Curious, I walk over. Taking a seat, I shift the laptop closer to me, wondering just why it’s there.. my, All of a sudden, the lights flash bright. For a moment I’m blinded, but when I open my eyes again, it’s on an empty document. (Not Google Docs or Microsoft Word since those are copyrighted, yeah?), Monokuma shows up. “Here’s the deal,” he says, “If you can keep typing for long enough, that knife won’t cut your throat. Instead, we’ll have papercuts to keep you motivated!”, “Knife? Papercuts?” A mechanical arm moves a razor-sharp blade to my throat, and already I’m panicking. Out of the many ways to die, getting my throat cut is one of the ways I’m most scared of. More mechanical arms with papers starts slicing at my arms and legs. Call me a wimp, but I despise papercuts., A countdown starts and I flail around, putting my fingers on the keyboard. Or, really, just two. I don’t type with all ten., By the time the three reaches zero, I have a good plot idea. I start writing, desperately trying to type as much as I can. I don’t think about how illogical it is, how Monokuma would definitely not let me go, but I’m freaking out and the logic of things has completely slipped my mind. I wanted a painless death, not a sliced throat. The papers are covered in blood and my arms shake., By nine or ten pages, I’ve reached my limit. I’m at a loss of words, unsure how to continue. I’m trying to think of something, typing the first words that come into mind, anything to prolong the movement of the knife at my throat and stop the papercuts., I know when I’m at my limit. There’s nothing I can do anymore, and it shows on my face. Monokuma laughs its signature laugh., Before I can register it, the blade cuts my throat, splattering the laptop with my blood. I choke and gurgle, and then I fall into a heap on the ground., Monokuma checks my laptop. It’s the best thing I’ve ever written., Almost like an afterthought, he types in “THE END” in big, bold letters.

QUESTION: Today is Monday. I need to fly on Thursday. When should I book this flight? - ANSWER: Doesn't seem to matter at this point. You're inside the 5 day window where air fares seem to be the most expensive ... baring any last minute release of extra seats by the airlines. Looks like it's a $300 flight if you want to spend some time on the ground in Texas or $700 if you want to do the non-stop. $300 for that type of a flight at this point in time seems like it's a deal. Book it before the seats are sold out.

QUESTION: Is it true that an average software developer works 10-11 hours a day? - ANSWER: I am an average software developer in a small company. Usually small companies have the reputation to work more hours than large companies because we have more of a fight to stay relevant. But in reality we can end up working the same., I work 7.5 hours a day (+0.5 for lunch) for 8 hour days (9–5), 5 days a week. 40 hours each week. Minus bank holidays and I start with 22 days paid holiday. with up to 5 carried across each year and increasing by 1 for each additional year I am here up to 5., I also volunteer to work our off hours which is from 5pm after leaving office, till 9am the following day. I do get paid for this per night covered. It is not every week, but I am expected not to get drunk for that week and be within 30 mins of my laptop should I need to do support. Most of the time nothing happens being a small company so I get paid for not doing anything. I can imagine larger companies have their own dedicated teams on a rota (ie morning, afternoon and evening shifts)., The ONLY time I have ever heard of someone working those hours is when they have seriously fucked up deployment of code onto say a production server and are spending the extra time to bring that server back online. I have done it once myself. But I don’t mind occasional overtimes as I am allowed to come in an hour later tomorrow morning., Your work should finish when you stop being paid to work, if you start a habit bringing the office life into your home life you will start ruining your own general health, the health of any relationships you have with your family, introduces more stress and is generally worth avoiding. If you must work extra hours to hit deadlines, consider asking for out of hours pay.

QUESTION: How do you live with someone with no empathy? - ANSWER: Miserably.

QUESTION: How is/was an N64 game developed? To my understanding documentation was poor because it wasn't until recently that you could really do any homebrew development without a z64 or with original development equipment. - ANSWER: While the N64 development system had various unique difficulties in developing for it (such as the early SGI based development kit, with some tools running on Windows, so you always had to have at least 2 computers running different operating systems), I think the largest reason for its difficulty was that it was cartridge based while everyone else had moved to CD based systems., With a cartridge based system, you can load things from the cartridge *very* quickly, but the more things you put onto the cartridge, the more expensive the cartridge gets. As an example (these aren’t the real numbers, these are just an example), you would pay $10 per cartridge for an 4MB cartridge, $15 for an 8MB cartridge, and $25 for a 12MB cartridge. For the Playstation, the cost was closer to $10 per disk, but each disk could store 650MB of data. The Saturn/32X was very similar to the Playstation in costs and storage ability. The big difference was that I could load data from the cartridge in just a few milliseconds, but reading from a CD-ROM generally took hundreds of milliseconds, if not multiple seconds to load data. This meant that you focused on very different things for the 2 platforms., When we designed titles for the Playstation, we spent a lot of time pre-processing all of our artwork in such a way that the Playstation itself did as little as possible, where everything was pre-processed, and you would even potentially store things multiple times on the disk. If there was an enemy that appeared in every level on the Playstation, then it was generally easier to store the model file for that enemy multiple times, once with each level, so that we could load the data in the single read on the Playstation. For the music, you would just play the audio off of the CD, so that the Playstation could spend 100% of the time rendering 3D instead of using both memory and CPU time playing back a MIDI score., On the Nintendo 64, we spent most of our time and energy optimizing for the opposite case. We would try and store as little as possible on the cartridge, and we would compress it or de-duplicate it as much as we possibly could. That enemy that was stored multiple times with each level on the Playstation? It only got stored once. With the drastic difference in storage costs, on the N64, we would go through each level and find things like common walls between levels, and store those only a single time. Instead of having unique textures for objects, instead we tried to repeat textures, and use the N64’s drastically improved rendering to try and make each one look unique., So each system had different advantages and disadvantages, and each can be advantageous in different circumstance. What titled the playing field was that the N64 came out after the Playstation and the Saturn. This meant that games tended to be designed and optimized for CD-ROM, and then ported to the N64, which resulted in a worse experience both for developers and users. It was obvious to everyone at the time that the N64 was going to be the last cartridge based system, so there wasn’t a huge inclination to spend resources designing and optimizing tools for a storage system that wouldn’t be used in the future. If the N64 had come out before the advent of disk based systems (if it had launched before the Playstation), then it would have been able to ride the momentum of all the previous platforms and the development effort put into those platforms. Instead, it came out after the industry had already pivoted to disk based platforms, which meant it took a lot more effort to develop for the platform than it would have otherwise., There were other differences that exacerbated the complaints (it used matrices that were aligned differently than the Playstation/Saturn, it used different texture formats, it’s API looked very different, etc.), but those sorts of differences are normal between platforms. They may tend to harvest a lot of complaints, but it somewhat goes with the territory. When I think back to what we spent most of our time on, it was about design compromises because of the disk/cartridge differences.

QUESTION: Did Karl Marx invent communism? - ANSWER: No. Marx did not create communism but he arguably “re-created “ it. Marx organised communist ideas and worked them into a theory, thus removing the concept from the realm of abstract utopianism into concrete social theory., How successfully he managed this rask is debatable but that he was the first to do it systematically is not.

QUESTION: Can you edit your videos to be HD smooth slow motion instead of the choppy slow motion WeVideo? - ANSWER: I'm not familiar with with the app WeVideo, but it deals with frame rate. TV is either 24 frames per second or (24 pictures a second) or 30 frames per second. If you go lower than 24 it will start looking choppy because it just makes each picture longer to fill up that second. So slow motion will make it 12 or 15 at half the speed. But it will be choppy that's why 60 frames per second and 120 works so well because the eye cant tell the difference of the slow down of the picture. So that's how you know if you can. If your camera can do at least 60 you should be good and do go lower than 24 frames per second. Hope this helps and isnt confusing. Let me know if it is and I'll try to make it more simpler to understand.

QUESTION: Why is APC UPS shutting itself off after a few seconds (UPS, powerchute, admin)? - ANSWER: Odds are you have a bad battery. Regrettably, APC UPS devices have a nasty tendency of quitting out when they have to switch to battery power and the battery can't supply power, even though the outlet power is still viable., I've used a number of brands for power protection and can honestly say APC ranks way down when dealing with battery issues. I've had APC units less than a year old poop out over a brown out., That said, batteries in most UPS units need to be replaced every 2 to 3 years - the lead-acid batteries they use simply don't last long. By contrast, I've had TripLite and CyberPower units simply burn up (yes, burning hot to the touch due to battery leaks), that still “appeared to work" under normal conditions. I've had the best luck with Eaton units, but they're pricey., As a general rule, I recommend my clients regularly replace battery packs for mission-critical computers every two years. A battery leak will really ruin your day, and is easily preventable. For lower-end units (under 900VA), you're typically better off replacing the unit rather than getting new batteries - the last thing you need is swapping out a battery only to end up right where you started., For rack-mount units, have a spare set of batteries on hand after 1 year- they're typically far less than the cost of s new unit and are easy to swap out, even live. Also, for servers, get redundant power - one for the wall and one for the UPS. Thus, if the UPS fails, the server keeps chugging from regular power. If the power fails, the UPS should kick in to keep the server alive long enough for a proper shutdown., Finally, if you're using a high-amp unit (over 1500VA), make sure your power is good. I've seen 16/20 amp units fail simply because they don't get enough juice, even though they're on a 20 amp breaker., TLTR - expect batteries in a UPS to last two years max. Run power failure tests during an update cycle (just boot the computer(s) to BIOS, so nothing can be lost or screwed up).

QUESTION: What happens to a vampire when they are exposed to sunlight? What are the physical and mental effects? - ANSWER: They don’t exist, after there is sunlight.

QUESTION: Why is it so hard for millennials to put down their phones while driving yet acknowledge the risks? - ANSWER: It’s a bit crazy to suggest only millennials use their phones while driving. I know plenty of people in previous generations that hold their phones, text, or dial their phones while driving and millennials that don’t. Taking your eyes off the and hands off the wheel while driving is highly irresponsible and certainly should be discouraged but making statements about entire generations is not the right way to go about it.

QUESTION: What is the difference between an S-corporation and a C-corporation? - ANSWER: Probably the biggest difference is taxation., A C Corp is taxed based on the income it earns. A S Corp is not (state level ‘franchise’ fees may apply, depending upon what state the company operates in)., While the entity itself never pays an ‘income’ tax if it is an S Corp, the earnings flow through to the owners’ personal tax returns. S Corps are commonly known as a ‘flow through’ entity, because the earnings ‘flow through’ to the owners personally and that is where the taxation occurs., Further, as a shareholder of a C Corp, if you receive a dividend, that also becomes taxable. This is a ‘double taxation’ of sorts, since taxes were already paid at the corporate level. An S Corp does not have this problem., Secondly, there are some differences with shareholders. If you look at companies on the NYSE or NASDAQ, you will never see an S Corp that is publicly trading their shares. That is because there is a limit on how many shareholders an S Corp can have. Further, all shareholders in an S Corp must be US citizens or US residents. A C Corp can have millions of shareholders. The maximum number of shareholders a S Corp can have is 100..

QUESTION: What is the difference between ICO/IEO/STO? Are there any good IEO or STO projects so far? - ANSWER: I am not an expert while for me, ICO/IEO/STO the target are all the same, fundraising, but in different ways. STO looks more like stock, and similar to IPO, first, need to securitize the token/coin, get it legalized, doing STO in some STO platforms and the cost for STO is quite high as I know (at least 500K if I remember correctly? IEO is a no trend to partner with exchanges to get fund raised from exchanges users (Exchanges will also provide marketing/PR service to promote the projects., Some good IEO projects: Newton, Gifto, Bittorent, Historia network, Celer

QUESTION: Which is the best washing machine powder? - ANSWER: SURF EXCEL MATIC, is the best detergent powder, and you have two categories one is top loading and the other one is front loading. According to the model of your washing machine you can choose one and it is available in qty :500 grams, and 1 kg, respectively, and 1 kg SURF EXCEL MATIC, MRP : Rupees 225, and we are using it for our LG WASHING MACHINE, TOP LOADING ,model, since so many years, before SURF EXCEL MATIC, we were using ordinary SURF EXCEL, detergent powder, and we had tried other detergent powders, costing less price than that of the SURF EXCEL, and finally we are sticked to the SURF EXCEL MATIC. and it is my opinion and choice, but you have every right to choose any other detergent powder.

QUESTION: What is the pH of a mixture 0.01M CH3COOH 100ml and 10M HCl 0.1ml solution? - ANSWER: You are mixing:, 100mL of 0.01M CH3COOH solution, with 0.1mL of 10M HCl solution., There is an easy way and a little more complicated way:, HCl is a strong acid and dissociates completely., CH3COOH is a weak acid and dissociates only slightly, Let us do this he easy way, Molarity of HCl in final solution:, M1V1 = M2V2, M1*100.1mL = 10M * 0.1mL, M1 = 10M * 0.1mL / 100.1mL, M1 = 0.00999M, Now you say: The CH3COOH being a weak acid will not dissociate to any large extent in the presence of this [H+]. The [H+] contribution from the CH3COOH can be ignored., pH = - log [H+], pH = 2.00, Now let us check using a slightly more complicated method. Let us calculate the [H+] from the CH3COOH, Ka fro CH3COOH = 1.8*10^-5, Ka = [H+] [CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH], Because [H+] = [CH3COO-] and dissociation is so small , we can write:, 1.8*10^-5 = [H+]² / 0.01, [H+]² = ( 1.8*10^-5) * 0.01, [H+]² = 1.8*10^-7, [H+] = 4.24*10^-4M, Total [H+] in solution:, 0.00999 from the HCl, 4.24*10^-4 from the CH3COOH, [H+] = 0.00999 + 4.24*10^-4 = 0.0103M, pH = - log 0.0103M, pH = 1.986, You see the similarity of the two results. Often it is not worthwhile to go to the trouble of calculating the [H+] contribution from the CH3COOH, And there is a third option, which entails a quadratic , and avoids the assumption we made in the second calculation that [CH3COOH] = 0.01M ( in reality it must be less because some dissociation has occurred) But the results rarely justify the effort with acids with Ka < 1*10^-3 , as is the case with CH3COOH.

QUESTION: Why do many food products have so many ingredients? - ANSWER: Most edible products with a large number of ingredients fall into the category of processed foods. Resistance to fluctuations in storage temperature, slight changes in the quality of component ingredients and differences in final preparation methods are all addressed through the addition of flavorings, stabilizers, modifiers and preservatives. , Modern industrial process controls are sufficiently precise to where—provided that stock materials are of a consistent quality—few variations occur in overall appearance, texture or flavor., That said, prominently featured in most of those large ingredient lists are salt, sugar (or high fructose corn sweetener), plus a host of other unhealthy additives. Most all of them are rather less expensive (by weight) compared to the costlier items like meat or cheese. , Any "simple recipes" that omit preservatives and other stabilizers require expensive refrigeration and, typically, have a shorter shelf life. Just those two issues (i.e., cold storage and quick turnover), represent major loss factors or cost centers for grocery stores, regardless of size. Add in considerations like centralized production facilities that increase distribution-related shipping times and suddenly those otherwise expensive chemical additives become somewhat of an afterthought.

QUESTION: A bird was on my sill, feathers ruffled, panting. It took me coming very close a second time for them to startle and fly up into a tree, where they continued to pant. What might be going on and could I have helped in any way? - ANSWER: You didn’t give any information as to what type of bird, which may have given extra clues. But generally speaking, panting signifies exactly what you might suspect; the bird just went through a traumatic event, such as an attack by something that could have caused it harm. A cat, fox, dog, hawk… any of those predators may have just been in a tussle with it, which ended in a narrow escape. In fact, it may have just been in a fight with another male of its own species, over a territorial issue, or a disagreement over a woman (ain’t that always the case?) The bird is stressed, its heart is racing, and breathing is fast and heavy (i.e. panting)., The ruffled feathers are either the result of physical contact by a predator, having its feathers roughed-up or disheveled, and/or… they suggest the bird is in a defensive posture. Like many other animals, birds try to make themselves look bigger when they feel threatened. They do this by showing ruffled feathers. Often the short feathers around head and neck may stand up a bit. On the chest as well. Wings may be held a bit further away from the body. They also do this when trying to intimidate another bird of its species., As far as your question about anything you may have done to help… no. One of the most basic rules of thumb for determining if a wild bird in distress needs human intervention is… if a bird can escape you by flying away… they don’t need your help. Whatever their situation, they will deal with it better without you, than if you tried to involve yourself. The main exception to that rule is if an injury can be plainly seen, such as a wing or wings that are drooping unnaturally, which would signify a broken wing, or if there was an obviously broken foot or leg. Or the head is being maintained at an odd tilted angle. Otherwise, no… don’t interfere. Wildlife is pretty resilient. Human intervention should be a last resort., There’s nothing you could have done to help. Chances are, the bird was recovering from some traumatic event… a close-call it just had. If it flew to your window sill, then to a tree… it’s reasonable to believe that it recovered just fine. The reason it allowed you to get so close before flying off is possibly that it was in fact recovering from something and was still a bit freaked out… and catching its breath was more important at the moment, than flying away from you. Until you got way too close., I wouldn’t worry about it. Likely, all is well.

QUESTION: Will a Master in Public Affair, or in Public Policy be helpful to get admission to a top PhD in economics like Harvard, MIT, or Berkeley? - ANSWER: Probably not. You will need a developed thesis which you will do your doctoral studies in. You will not have one in Econ.

QUESTION: How do I make pickles without preservatives? - ANSWER: There are two types of preservatives, natural and artificial., Natural preservatives (Class 1): These are the preservatives that are naturally occurring and are often used as ingredients in cooking. Examples: Salt, Sugar, Oil, and Vinegar., Artificial preservatives (Class 2): These are the preservatives that are man-made using chemical substances. Examples: Benzoates (Sodium benzoate), Sulfites, Sorbates, and Nitrites., Here, by “preservatives”, you mean artificial preservatives., Hence, you can make pickles by adding class 1 or natural preservatives such as salt, sugar, oil or vinegar, and they also impart flavour to the pickle.

QUESTION: Can you use a micro-SD as internal storage on your phone if there's no slot available (e.g., OnePlus)? - ANSWER: No, you cannot insert it without a slot that the manufacturer dedicated for this.

QUESTION: Do you have a crush on your co-worker? - ANSWER: I went out with a co-worker when working at a small family business. I wouldn't recommend it because if you have an argument in your sister time, you cannot avoid one another. We split up so I moved jobs, which was OK but if I had worked in a larger company it might have meant continuing to work in an uncomfortable situation or leaving and starting again, thereby falling behind as far as career progression was concerned., In my case, my boss was a con-man and, as it turned out, an illegal arms dealer and diamond smuggler and I was engaged to his nephew! My family and friends joked that I could end up in the river with concrete boots as I knew too many secrets! Luckily, my boss fled the country not long after I left and nook doubt other members of his family (I was the only non-family employee) dispersed., My situation was a bit unusual but I think it best to avoid relationships with co-workers. It is too complicated and other colleagues don't liked it after all, company gossip could be passed on to management if one of the pair is higher up the management level., In my second job, a colleague who's desk was next to mine had a secret relationship with mtg immediate boss. They were so discreet that nobody guessed until there was a surprise announcement of their engagement! I was then frantically trying to recall every conversation I had had with her, in case I had said something undiplomatic.. I did remember her asking me what I thought of him. It would have been very awkward if I had said something derogatory..

QUESTION: Why is L1 regularization supposed to lead to sparsity than L2? - ANSWER: Consider an optimization problem: min J(x) subject to Ax=b. (Ax=b is a system of equations. by this system we include the data samples in our formulation), if you use L0 norm instead of J(x), you'll get the sparse solution. but L0 norm is not convex. that means it leads to hard optimization problem., one may want to use Lp norm (0<p<1). Lp norm is also generates sparse solution,though it is not convex. To understand why L1 norm leads to sparse solution, it may be helpful to see the following graph that shows the behavior of the kernel of the norms:, , , as p tends to zero, |x|^p approaches the indicator function, which is zero for x=0 and 1 elsewhere., L1 is the tightest surrogate of L0 that leads to sparse solution and it is convex. so, one can use convex opt tools to solve the optimization problem.

QUESTION: If you have an Irish work permit, will you be able to travel freely to EU countries? Or do you still need tourist visas? - ANSWER: Ireland is not in the Schengen area so you will need a visa for this area, additionally, the UK will also require that you have a visa for entry although both countries have a common travel area., That said if you are living and working in Ireland then getting the visas is more administration than anything else hard work.

QUESTION: Which guns can be fired in the vacuum of space? - ANSWER: Pretty much any modern firearm can be fired in a vacuum, though some kinds of metals in the guns themselves won’t like it for long. All modern ammunition has its own oxidizer, so all bullets would work in space., A flintlock or any ancient firearm that required an open flame wouldn’t, of course, but what would you be doing with a flintlock in space?

QUESTION: How do girls flirt? - ANSWER: I'm really bad at flirting. I start making eye contact, if I get more confortable, I try to smile. But I'm really shy when the subject is flirting.

QUESTION: Does the negative air pressure that flows over the rear windshield of cars generate lift like the flaps of an airplane, reducing tire traction on the rear wheels? - ANSWER: Yes, the low pressure air flowing over the car tends to make the rear of the car light at high speeds. This isn’t something you need to worry about at 60 or 70 MPH, but at higher speeds it can be important. In fact, while spoilers on most cars are just for show, they were originally designed to push air upward and thus put more weight on the rear of the car to counteract this lift., Some high performance vehicles actually have variable height/angle spoilers. At low speeds they stay down to reduce drag, then at higher speeds the spoiler rises up to maintain stability., , The other way car designers try to keep the car from getting too light on its tires at high speed is to create a slight vacuum under the car. They do this with a front air dam, very low under the front bumper, almost touching the ground and extending this dam around the sides of the car, but leaving the rear open. This creates a slight vacuum under the entire car that becomes stronger at higher speeds to partly counteract the lift you are talking about.

QUESTION: What does it take to get a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam? I'm an eighth grader self-studying it. - ANSWER: I (LG) took the AP Calculus test in 1968 (I was 17) and (This is what a professor said), I was tied for 3rd highest score , nationally. I learned calculus when I was 15., Mathematics (analysis ) was something I had been preoccupied studying for several years. Otherwise, I was fascinated by the mathematics (mechanics) of kites during that time. Maybe you yourself can find an interest in mathematics-physics-mechanics that can make your focus in the calculus called for- Good luck

QUESTION: Was Minsk part of Poland? - ANSWER: Mińsk was part of Lithuania since circa year 1300, when it was conquered by Lithuanian grand duke Vytenis. After creating the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania in 1569 Minsk was part of this country until the second partitioning of Poland in 1793.

QUESTION: What was your biggest cultural shock while living in or visiting Thailand? - ANSWER: I had only been in Thailand for a few days when I started to notice that many people were using umbrellas as they walked on the sidewalks or in the streets of Bangkok. I was constantly dodging gigantic umbrellas. And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why. The Sun was out and barely a cloud in the sky. I remember thinking that the rainy season must be close., Now I consider myself a pretty smart guy so I bought a small umbrella to carry around for the upcoming monsoons which I was anxious to experience. I faithfully carried this umbrella around for about a month in anticipation of the upcoming heavy rains., As I left my condo one morning, the front desk asked me why I never used my umbrella. I replied that it hasn’t started raining yet. The clerk gave me a quizzical look and said it is for the Sun., Maybe, I ain’t so smart after all…,

QUESTION: If you face a grizzly bear that is going to attack, will a blunt metal rod be of any use? - ANSWER: A North American grizzly bear weighs in at about 360 kg for a mature Male on average. They stand over 6 and a half feet (200 cm) tall. Some costal males can supposedly stand nearly 10 feet (300 cm) tall!, There’s a saying that the best way to determine if it’s a black or brown bear chasing you; is if you climb a tree and it follows you up, it’s a black bear. If you climb a tree and it knocks the tree down and eats you. It’s a brown bear., , Great for digging for grubs and disembowelling, Bears have been, and still are in some places, hunted with spears and even long swords however the advantage of those are that you remain a “safer” distance from the quarter of a tonne monster with teeth., , Chomp., But with a pipe? Not a chance. Maybe if it was a large strong man against an adolescent or younger female and it was a big pole. Then yeah probably. But no way could even a large man with a large metal rod kill even a smaller yet fully grown female brown bear., , Just give them space. Statistically it won’t end well, So . no., Please don’t try; you’ll be dead. Plus the bear is just defending its young in over 70% of cases., A can of bear spray and common sense are much better at deterring a bear.

QUESTION: Why do British soldiers wear berets? - ANSWER: The first soldiers of The British Army to wear berets were men of the Tank Corps (later evolving into The Royal Tank Regiment) shortly after WW1. Berets were found to be practical and comfortable for every day use, as well as being considerably cheaper than service caps. Berets were first worn by French elite mountain units, so credit where it is due., The correct way to wear a beret is extremely contentious. Each soldier must fit his own beret by plunging it into very hot and very cold water numerous times. The beret is then rung out, placed on the head and shaped (usually “right and rear). The wearer should leave the wet beret on their head until dry, after which it will hold its shape and be correct., Failing to shape a beret denotes that a monkey is wearing it and will resemble a “helicopter landing pad”. Most of the world's special forces have chosen the beret to denote their supposed elite status, but as a rule of thumb - if the beret looks shit then so are they.

QUESTION: How important is owning a firearm to you? - ANSWER: Very important. I am a hunter and target shooter and I carry a gun to defend my life and property !

QUESTION: My periods are 16 days late, I've had 3 negative tests and also moved from India to France! What do I do? - ANSWER: I once went without my period for 9 months—and I didn't end up with a baby at the end of it!, Like you, I had recently moved from one country to another. I went to a doctor for a checkup, and he thought it was caused by stress associated with the international move., Since you have done three pregnancy tests, I am assuming that there is at least a chance that you could be pregnant. A doctor can set your mind at ease by doing a blood test, which may be more reliable than a urine test.

QUESTION: Why exactly are singularities avoided or “deleted” in physics? - ANSWER: Consider first that from a general system theoretical viewpoint, both mathematics and physics basically define a set of elements (a taxonomy), and determining their relationship with themselves (properties), and relationships with other elements (interactions)., The root of finite in “define” is key here—can you actually define infinity? Is infinity something that you can “definitely” reach? Analysis of relationships, of course, have the same finite/infinite questions., Concerning the specifics of these, there is a fundamental difference (ignoring some specific exceptions):, Mathematics strives for precision in the definition of elements and exact analysis concerning their relationship ab initio. Its work begins with a statement of axioms (for this discussion we’ll avoid the technical difference of postulates), from which theorems are derived., Physics. seeks to evolve a mathematical model of fundamental elements and their relationships that describe the universe as believed most objectively sensed (I purposely suggest something more fundamental here than “measured by calibrated instrumentation, in a repeatable manner, by multiple observers” —something borne out by modern physics itself).. , These differences will reflect how infinity is treated—but in both, there is a willingness to sacrifice an idea of actual reality for a pragmatic model that we can work with within our conceptual and sensory limits. The problem comes when this model is believed to be Reality., Returning to math, till the mid-19th century, axioms were considered self-evident truths. The discovery of consistent nonEuclidean geometries (especially when in the 20th century these were shown to be even a better description of what was objectively observed), led to grave doubts about the notion of “self-evident.” Due to further revelations later into the 19th century, particularly the 1872 publication of the Weierstrass function where an infinite process permitted an “impossible” function. [Everywhere its limit was defined—you could calculate a value f(x) for every x. However, nowhere was it differentiable—no tangent to a point existed as between any two points, there was an infinite number of points where the function was greater or less than either point.], It became clear that what was known as “the Great Crisis of Mathematics” was mainly due to the notion of infinity treated as a number, and the use of infinite processes., The mathematics program around actual infinity—not mere formalisms like division by infinity, and the limit process in Calculus, became its elimination by separating it out from the finite and enclosing it in finite packaging. This is done essentially by three means:, — Such matters of actual 0/0 or inf./inf. are so considered, or in particular, an infinite function value within a finite range—an accessible point x where a certain f(x) becomes infinite—known as a “singularity”.. “Undefined”. , — All equivalent descriptions of infinity per “Cantor’s diagonalization method” are in such a set, treated like a cardinal number. These transfinite “numbers” are their own world of abstraction and have no direct bearing on matters outside of pure mathematics, and are completely separated from finite mathematics.. “Transfinite Set”, — In a nutshell, this axiom admits an infinite (nonconstructive) process, while it opposite (also used in some systems) denies such. When used in a finite context, this has brought about paradoxical—results. The example par excellence is the Banach-Tarski paradox. . [24:13]. “Axiom of Choice”, , It is noteworthy that Cantor’s diagonalization really requires the axiom of choice because he does require an infinite process. Further, as proven in the 20th century by Paul Cohen, the continuum hypothesis—Cantor’s hypothesis that there is no transfinite cardinal—infinite set—between his zeroeth and first, also requires the axiom of choice. Similarly for the “general continuum hypothesis” across all transfinite numbers., The Special and General Theory. , . Now, while physics models mathematically, it does not always “dot the i’s and cross the t’s.” A classic (and we’ll see, crucial) example of this regarding infinity can be taken from Einstein’s discussion on . Euclidean and non-Euclidean continuum in Relativity. (1920), XXIV:, The surface of a marble table is spread out in front of me. I can get from one point to a ‘neighboring’ one, and repeating the process a (large) number of times, or, in other words, by going from point to point without executing ‘jumps.’ I am sure the reader will appreciate with sufficient clearness what I mean here by ‘neighboring’ and by ‘jumps’ (if he is not too pedantic). We express this property of the surface by describing the latter as a continuum., The key expression here is “not too pedantic”. A true (mathematical) continuum is infinitely dense, and going from point-to-point ultimately involves an infinite process—and in fact, physically impossible as already realized by the philosopher Zeno of Elea 2 1/2 thousand years ago., To more generalize the issue, the physical world—the world perceived by our senses (according to the mathematician Kurt Gödel, one of the greats of the 20th century, the only source of axioms that can be taken as “true” in any real sense, is determined by sensory perception)— is finite. Simply put, arithmetic logic does not apply to the infinite—ergo infinity has no rules, and a legal universe can’t contain it., The first implication is that Einstein’s continuum is, so-to-speak, digital, not analog. That is, it consists of pixels., [2:59], [55:26]. According to the Holographic Principle derived from studying black hole entropy, they are actually “ ‘2D’ pixels,” of Plank length square area on the boundary of the known universe—the radius from us where the outwards expansion of spacetime reaches the speed of light. , , , Consider now the photon, that has exactly zero rest mass and travels at exactly at the speed of light that in its “reference frame” travels “through the zero depth of a plane in zero time.” Now, what does that mean? Well, what does relativity say in the limit of light speed? The photon is a zero rest mass, not an approach to it. The Lorentz transformation, therefore, says that m’ = 0/0. t’ = 0, and l’ = 0., In mathematics, this is called undefined. In physics its called, “It could be anything—the model has broken down.” So what about t’ = 0, and l’ = 0? Where is it's zero length in the zero depth at this particular moment in zero time? You can’t ask such a question in physics, so rather let's get our heads back into the quantized finite and let quantum mechanics answer these questions., Firstly, the mass choose. Okay, but what about where the photon, where is it's zero length in the zero depth at this particular moment in zero time? Actually nowhere and everywhere, right? Quantum mechanics (and proven definitively by a large body of experiments), basically agrees., Photons have no real properties until they are measured. In fact, if two photons where generated originally—even a billion year ago and a billion light years away, they share information once measured—instantly. This would imply that while they are apart, they also never left their point of origin, or the measurement caused a time reversal or the spacetime interval since generation is actually zero—however you’d like to model it. [Another thought to intrigue if you’ve watched the videos above on the Holographic Principle, and particularly the second with Leonard Susskind, is if the photon with its zero time embedding in a “plane” is not just seeing more clearly the “holographic plate” (to use the direct analogy of the kind of holograms we use in everyday life)?], One more point: Consider the birth and termination of a photon—let’s say through an atomic, molecular covalent, or crystal band electron emitting a photon to make a “quantum jump” to a lower energy state, or absorbing one to enter a higher energy state, respectively., [For reference, this happens many times when light travels through a transparent material like air, more so in water, and generally still more so in clear solids. Photons are so absorbed and emitted about every mean free travel time. Though they travel at the vacuum speed of light during free travel, the delay of absorption and re-emission renders the effective speed of light in nonvacuum environments slower than in vacuum.], Question: Does this absorption or emission happen instantaneously, and if not, could we have the existence of analog-disappearing (or appearing) photons coming towards (or moving away) with instantaneous acceleration up to (or down from) light speed?, The answer is famously strange in the digitized quantum sense of things, but essentially, the absorption is digitally instantaneous but analog spread in time. This is due to the energy-time version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Actually, “uncertainty” is a misnomer—the proper term would be “indeterminacy”. It is not that we don’t know that exact instant of the event, it that that instant isn’t any particular one during the possible time period—it is a superposition of all of them. So, if one would, the photon is similarly, digitally as it were, instantaneously accelerating and whole. It is as though there is a digital reality embedded in a deeper analog reality, It appears, as it were, a character in a virtual reality video game being played by a more real player sitting in front of a console., How deep does the rabbit hole go? Pursuing this idea will be our final stop, but we’ve yet the really big infinity controversies of modern physics to get to first, the existence of infinite density point masses—physical singularities., In mathematics, as discussed above, a singularity is “undefined” as it is—after all—not finite. However, to any level of approximation considered sufficient—e.g., in the physical sense, to within measurement error—up to within any radius of x, there are limitless other functions that could replace f, such that f(x) is finite., There are two types to consider, subatomic particle point masses, and cosmic singularities., The first led to nightmarish infinity paradoxes till apparently solved through adding dimensions via string theory., As for cosmic singularities, the question is if general relativity breaks down into some more general rule, perhaps a quantum gravity theory, or if something along the lines of the Penrose Cosmic Censorship Conjecture applies. This later requires an “event horizon” a point approaching a singularity where even light cannot escape, thus separating the singularity from the outside universe in terms of causality (which would paradoxically cease to exist beyond the future where the singularity would be met)., To the outside universe, anything falling towards the singularity appears to compress and slow in time so as to never actually reach even the event horizon, much less the singularity. This is effectively moving the singularity out to infinite time, eliminating the infinity paradox., What is particularly interesting is that the Holographic Principle discussed earlier, may well have combined cosmic censorship, quantum gravity, and uncertainty/entanglement., In essence, the proper view in physics is that we don’t know ultimately what reality is. In the words of the late Stephen Hawking (from a 1994 debate with Roger Penrose):, …I don't demand that a theory correspond to reality because I don't know what it is. Reality is not a quality you can test with litmus paper. All I'm concerned with is that the theory should predict the results of measurements…., [50:27]. There is much serious consideration being given to the possibility that this world is merely a simulation. This does a very nice job with explaining in detail as much as possible to a lay audience, the pre-history and crucial quantum mechanics experiments up through the present decade, that leads to what seems its inevitable conclusion: , , Perhaps a step further, or at least a variation on the theme is . [38:20]. Simulation Theory 2017, We are waking up!!!!: , , Here Donald Hoffman, a professor of cognitive science at the University of California at Irvine, presents a theory of all reality as being the entangled interaction of conscious agents--combining into singular entities of group consciousness--and hints, I believe, of deeper internalities of these… It is particularly noteworthy that according to Prof. Hoffman, as devoted a materialist as Richard Dawkins has agreed that even this version of the simulation hypothesis can work with a more abstract extension of the level of evolution., However, whatever the resolution of our floating digital world, it cannot be embedded like software in a greater digital world or that world is just a broader program. However, any legal world—one with physical laws following arithmetic logic—must be digital. Only an ultimately analog, ultimately infinite Reality—not bound by causality or even a probability distribution., To simply suggest a philosophical or even theological approach towards this will not be helpful—we can imagine or believe all we like, but what is beyond our perception will remain there. On the other hand, science as usual—as the late Stephen Hawking (and Kurt Gödel decades before him—and Bertram Russell before him) rightfully points out, can only offer us the most reasonable theory that we can resolve within the limits of our perception—whether that is a Gray’s anatomy of medical student’s reality or a stick figure of a kindergartener., Telescopes and microscopes must ultimately go through the filter of our eyes, and even if we join ourselves to artificial intelligence with the greatest virtual reality interface, this will not help with irreducibly complex patterns beyond our ability to perceive., This is not merely a stonewall to our curiosity about that which actually exists. Humanity is heading into a great deal of trouble due to these limitations—countless different systems from climate to basic relationships between people are approaching collapse. Approximately as Einstein is said to have said, it will take ten times the level of perception to solve the problems caused by what we’ve innovated at our present level., What I would like to suggest is a very different sort of science, actually, its most ancient root that I think has found its most crucial era for application. It is the science of consciousness and perception of Kabbalah, literally “Receiving”. Despite all the myths that have surrounded it, it is in essence, a repeatable and correlative science—only the basic “instrumentation” is internal. Even quantum mechanics admits that any reality of measurement is with the observer., Just how far can this ladder take us? We can’t really know. However, as a start, I highly recommend these:, Perceiving Reality [9:10], , 2. . Episode 1 -- A Basic Overview [25:28]. Kabbalah Revealed, , , Episode 2 -- Perception of Reality [25:15]. 3. .

QUESTION: Does being the parent of a child mean that you are superior to the child? - ANSWER: No. Superior is not the right term or mindset. But parents are responsible and in charge and have the authority to lovingly teach and guide their children and keep them from harm. I have four children, and in my experience, even though it would be wonderful if we always had the time to explain every single thing, sometimes we clearly don’t, and that’s fine, too: „Put the hammer down“, „Stop pulling your sister’s hair“, „Wait at the red light“, "Don't drink and drive", "You're not going anywhere in that dress"... And in an emergency, even „...because I say so“ should do until there's time for an explanation. Because we’re responsible and because we love them.

QUESTION: What is the definition of a narcissist? I looked it up in the dictionary, it means self-obsessed with their body and being erotic . What is the obsession for the word being constantly used on Quora? - ANSWER: People use ““narcissist” as a means to describe someone that treated them badly., It’s HARDLY ever used in the correct context. It’s also a means for people to blame others for their problems.

QUESTION: Does every human have the same brilliance? - ANSWER: I can't believe anyone would believe Doug's perspective. We are the product and the sum total of all our past lives and experiences. The universe is completely fair and our genes are a reflection of our consciousness and not the other way around. What would the point be of a genetic lolly scramble? Brilliance is also a product of experiences and historical accumulation. Everything is earned. There is no free lunch. Each brilliant person worked for it. My own daughter is a...

QUESTION: Why would an old couple get married, since presumably they're not pregnant and don't have parents insisting? - ANSWER: If the only reason you'd marry is pregnancy and annoying parents, that's rather depressing. It suggests you know little about what marriage actually is and does., In the U.S., at least, marriage has enormous implications for the elderly: hospital visitation, power of attorney, insurance, government benefits, and inheritance.

QUESTION: What are other marketplaces I can go to when Etsy raises its seller fees/prices? - ANSWER: I’ve answered a similar question from another Quora member, so this seems to be a hot topic lately., As an Etsy seller, I’ve compared the fees of Etsy to eBay and even with the fee increases, Etsy still is a better bet for sellers than eBay. (You still pay more in fees to eBay when you crunch the numbers.) Am I happy about the new higher transaction fees? No. Do I feel that the new additional features Etsy offers will benefit me? No. (I sell vintage one of a kind items—so things like emails to customers about when items are in stock again won’t apply to me.), Yes, there are other sales sites and platforms out there, but Etsy is still at the top as far as recognition and reliability. Etsy’s SEO (how people find your items) is still better than eBay or other sites, I think. I do use another site (Bigcommerce) to sell items not eligible to sell on Etsy and their fees are reasonable, but I do pay extra money to use their Endicia shipping module ($15/month). I don’t have to pay a per item listing fee like I do on Etsy and it’s nice to have your own stand alone website, but I do have to pay $30/month to Bigcommerce to host my e-commerce shop. (They do offer SEO functionality, Google Shopping, and other benefits as part of the monthly fee—but for anyone not proficient with it, you’ll still find Etsy more user-friendly.)

QUESTION: What tastes good when microwaved, but not freshly cooked? - ANSWER: Microwave butter popcorn. There’s something about those artificial-tasting, salty, preservative-laden, fluffy warm kernels that just cannot be replicated in an air popper or stovetop.

QUESTION: What is the best way to create an animated .gif from a YouTube video? - ANSWER: There is a website . .. GifYouTube, All you need to do is replace the 'youtube' in the video you're currently watching with 'gifyoutube' and you're set. The website has a very good interface wherein you can select the time interval for creating your gif file and you can download the file later.

QUESTION: Why is Saudi Arabia called Saudi Arabia, not Arabia? - ANSWER: Mohammed bin Saud,. who established the first Saudi state in 1727. He is a heroic icon for the Saudi people as his belief in a unified Arabian Peninsula came into reality 200 years later. Saudi Arabia now is the 21st happiest nation on earth!. After the unification of the Arabian Peninsula in 1932 under one country, King Abdulaziz named the country after the founding father of the first Saudi state, , Some people might wonder, why did they name a country after a person? Many countries are named after people such as:, Amerigo Vespucci. The United States of America after. ., Bolivia after Simon . .. Bolivar, Emperor Qin. China after . (pronounced “Chin”)., The Philippines after . .. King Philip II of Spain

QUESTION: Will you look better after lipo is done on a double chin? - ANSWER: Try kybella ( injections), or a radio frequency treatment like Exilis. Lipo is surgery. There are plenty of non surgical options. Plus whenever you suck out fat, you are left with an “empty bag” When you use radio frequency devices, you are heating, shrinking, creating apoptosis ( killing fat cells) and you will get smoother tighter skin vs more loose skin. Finally I would even try Coolsculpting before I tried lipo. Even though I dont like Coolsculpting. Its better than lipo, since its non surgical. But Coolsculpting is not the best option since it doesnt shrink like ...

QUESTION: As Texas continues to grow into one of the most populous and one of the most economically powerful states in the Union, is it wise for our state government to continue to employ such a politically weak governor? - ANSWER: Without taking into account the merit of stating an opinion as a fact that the governor is weak, Texas’ constitution gives the duly elected governor a 2- year term and that’s that. The will of the people have spoken and it appears they don’t agree with your assessment.

QUESTION: How can I get 350+ in BITSAT? - ANSWER: Hi, I managed to score 390 in bitsat 2013. I would suggest that you stop thinking about scoring and focus on the core basics for now. Unknowingly they will be the pillars that will help you score well in all the exams , be it board exams or competitive exams. That's what helped me. I never prepared for bitsat. I didn't even go through previous year papers. Preparation for JEE if done thoroughly will help you everywhere.

QUESTION: I scored a range of 108-124 on my IQ test. How can I find a definite answer as to what that means? - ANSWER: It means you didn’t take a good IQ test, because those are not scored this way. You would get a single number.

QUESTION: When selling photography prints, should I print them myself or outsource it to a printing firm? - ANSWER: It is all about the quality, you sure want to offer the best quality to your clients, so the question here is: who is going to offer the best quality? me or a printing house? If you have the experience and can compete with the print house, go ahead and print it yourself.

QUESTION: How do you accurately measure a 16MHz clock with an oscilloscope (oscilloscope, clock, probe, and electronics)? - ANSWER: If an oscilloscope is all you have then you can certainly use it, but don’t expect too much., If it is a cheap scope, then trigger on the clock and set the sweep so you get about 10 cycles across the screen, then measure the time for 10 cycles as best you can., I wouldn’t expect more than about 1% accuracy., If the scope has a delay cursor, then you can use that to measure the time for 10 cycles., If the scope has a frequency counter, then that will be ideal., If you also have a frequency generator, you can display it on another scope channel and adjust the frequency so that the two channels have the same frequency. You can also do good old fashioned lissajoux figures. if your scope has an XY mode., Doing this sort of thing . accurately. , like 6 digit precision, is much more difficult and a real frequency counter is a better tool than an oscilloscope., Once you get interested in measuring things, it is a real rabbit hole.

QUESTION: How does Google steal our data? - ANSWER: Google is the most popular search engine on the planet. And there’s a good reason: their search service is thorough, clean, and comprehensive. Through this easy-to-access feature, we have grown accustomed to “Google” our questions and concerns. But there’s a catch—when you use Google to learn, Google is also learning about you., Google Collects Your Data, The truth is that Google makes its money by collecting and sharing user data., Google collects data about how you use its devices, apps, and services. This ranges from browsing behavior, Gmail and YouTube activity, location history, Google searches, online purchases, and more., In recent years, numerous high-profile cases have been taken to court alleging (and ruling) user privacy violations by Google., On January 24, 2022, Google was sued by three states and the District of Columbia for allegedly lying about location tracking. It was stated that Google deceptively used location-tracking practices that invaded users' privacy., In 2021, Google faced a $5 billion lawsuit alleging. Chrome’s Incognito browsing mode collects users’ web history. The lawsuit alleges Google violates wiretapping and privacy laws for intercepting, tracking and managing communications when Chrome’s Incognito mode is in use., In 2020, Google faced a $5 billion lawsuit in the U.S. for tracking 'private' internet use. It was said in the case that Google gathers data through Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager, and other applications and website plug-ins, including smartphone apps, regardless of whether users click on Google-supported ads., how Google tracks your data. to learn more on how to stop it.. Unfortunately, you can’t completely stop Google from snatching your info but what you can do is adjust your settings to opt out of most data collection.

QUESTION: How can I better understand why I think and feel the way I do? - ANSWER: How is it possible to understand why, I think and feel the way I do?, I believe is normal not to understand such things as why we think the way we do or feel the way we do., It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening. - David Lynch, The above applies to our thoughts and feelings. Sometimes the problem rests with needing to want to understand such things rather than to accept and move on through. It takes a certain bravery to do this., One can observe better (by assuming our faults) the ways others may think, or the reasons others feel by one’s analysis made., Whenever there’s doubt about any of your ways fall back upon the wisdom penned by Friedrich Nietzsche who said:, You have your way, and I’ll have mine. As far as the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

QUESTION: How can you practice the Buddhist teaching of "loving kindness" with homophobic, racist, sexist idiots? - ANSWER: The same way you do it with the regular idiots.

QUESTION: Should those who are not talented in language learning be required to learn a foreign language? - ANSWER: That depends. Some people will always be more talented than others. Some people are simply not as talented as they realize, and some have genuine monumental struggles…but there aren’t really quite so many people that can’t benefit from any language learning., I tend to question the wisdom of “requiring” a lot of things in an education. On the other hand, if you want to get into foreign history or do certain other things with your life, a foreign language is quite helpful. It opens you to a wider world.

QUESTION: Is the Y2K (millennium) bug considered a joke because the efforts to mitigate negative effects from it were successful? - ANSWER: Yes. Fixing the Y2K problem and the ozone hole are two of the triumphs of the last 25 years, because in both cases we listened to the experts and put money and resources into fixing them before they became disasters. And all the general public got out of that is “huh, guess they weren’t problems after all, maybe we shouldn’t fix the next one”. So welcome to the climate apocalypse and the War On Reason.

QUESTION: What are the consequences of Britain leaving the Eurozone? - ANSWER: We've never been in the Eurozone, 'cos we wisely kept the £STG and control over our currency. If you mean, "after we leave the EU" then this is my take, but really, no-one knows: May announces that the negotiations with the EU team has stalemated and we will be leaving both the customs union and the single market. The pound slips further against the dollar and the Euro, which also slides against the dollar and other currencies. WTO rules are applied to imports and our exports by the EU, but, due to the fall in Stg since the Brexit vote, our exports are even cheaper than they were before, but German and EU exports to the UK are now at least 20% more expensive and we buy alternative, cheaper goods from elsewhere. Both the UK and the EU enter into a recessionary period, exacerbated for the southern EU nations. The US economy suffers, due to the dollar rising in value and pressure is put onto the EU to cut a deal, pronto. Quite a number of foreign banks move some of their operations to Paris and Frankfurt, but the bulk remains in London due to the strength of its legal system and (ironically) stability of the UK. With trade barriers erected in Ireland on its closest neighbour and major trading partner, Ireland also leaves the EU after 12 months of economic turmoil as it belatedly realises its economy is being trashed by EU erected tariffs. Britain refuses point blank to pay any more into the EU, including the nonsensical £50 billion being jotted by the EU numpties. Now, what happens next probably won't happen but hey, it's all for fun isn't it? Neither the EU nor Britain blinks first, causing economic woes on both sides. Russia, seeing a real advantage, starts massing troops along the eastern border. Britain decides that economic warfare is real warfare by another name and threatens to leave NATO and sign mutual defence treaties with Canada and the US; after all, why put ourselves on the line for nations that are in economic warfare against us. Don't want our goods, don't want our troops and protection either! Five Eyes cooperation is withdrawn from EU countries by Britain. Britain quickly signs trade agreements with the majority of Commomwealth countries and the US. Twelve months later. A compromise deal is reached, allowing both sides to save face. Free movement is allowed, but not for benefits or long-term health care. Rights of EU and British nationals agreed in each other's countries, but only if self sufficient. Greece leaves the Euro and Germany is left looking at massive write-downs. The German public go apeshit at this betrayal by its political leaders and a right leaning party gets power. Britain's trade deals with the rest of the world, whilst not perfect, begin paying real economic dividends, whilst the EU becomes even more inward looking. Thirty six months later. The Netherlands vote to leave the EU, as does Greece and Italy, quickly followed by Spain. France and Germany try to hold the EU together but refuse to make up the budget shortfalls from the loss of UK and Dutch contributions, leading to Eastern EU nations questioning what benefits there are for them in staying. Climate change induced heatwaves across sub Saharan Africa and the Middle East precipitate a mass exodus towards Southern Europe, causing real tensions as the Southern European countries wave them through towards Northern Europe in an act of petty revenge against Germany and France. All hypothetical, of course, but the next 12 months will be interesting. Will it be the doom and gloom predicted by the Remoaners? No. Will it be all milk and honey as per the Brexiters? No. Money talks and a deal will be done after a lot of face saving and political bullshit on both sides. Suddenly, after years of boredom, politics has become interesting again!

QUESTION: How many orgasms can men have? - ANSWER: Over what period of time? An hour? A day? A week? A month? A year?, In the circles I travel in, we talk about orgasms in terms of duration - minutes or hours. , And quantity is not necessarily better than quality.

QUESTION: What are people older than 50 doing to stay fit and healthy? - ANSWER: Everyone is different and needs to find their own unique formula that works for them but here’s what I personally do as I turn 50 this year., Exercise. I walk everyday 30–45 minutes, lift weights 3–4x a week and swim a couple times a week., Ensure I get proper nutrition every day. Stay hydrated and supplement with some vitamins where I fall short with my food., Try to get enough sleep. Also will take a nap if needed. Rest and recovery is essential., Meditate. Nothing fancy, just calm silence for 15 minutes a day, thinking about nothing and trying to clear my mind., Foam roller work and hand held massager to work out kinks and maintain muscle flexibility. Also stand on a balance board every day to work balancing muscles., Get sun. While most will say to stay out of the sun, I personally get in about 10 minutes of direct sun a day., Practice things that challenge my mind. Remember fit & healthy isn’t just the body. I have taken up guitar and a foreign language. I also play brain challenging games to keep my mind sharp., Avoid all things that age the body faster, ie. Alcohol, smoking and bad habits.

QUESTION: Since we know that in Better Call Saul, Mike and Jimmy/Saul are lost in the desert for days together, how could they not have seemed more familiar in Breaking Bad? - ANSWER: First and foremost, Mike wanted minimal people to know about their time in the desert. Its when he saves Saul from a rival cartel sent to intercept Bolso’s money to bail out Lalo. Mike made it clear he wants nobody to know about that incident., Additionally, Mike does not respect Saul. He says so much when he reveals himself to Kim as following both of them to hopefully ensnare Lalo, whose whereabouts are unknown. “You are made fo sterner stuff” he tells her., Mike probably sees Saul as a corrupt buffoon who is now way in over his head with dangerous people., But finally and most importantly, Mike makes no habit of forming personal relationships. After the loss of his son, he is a broken man, and keeps to his work. The nature of his work, and his loyalty to Fring, renders it a necessity that he remain as impersonable as possible.

QUESTION: What is the best way to download subtitles of YouTube videos in any language? - ANSWER: The pedagogical use of movies is common, something the stage and the place studied. They are even extra useful, if possible, in the case of instructing overseas languages, or overseas language areas, due to the fact of the proper contact with the language that it entails. The cost of viewing audiovisual texts with subtitles to enhance linguistic competence, or as a potential to facilitate entry to hearing-impaired students, is properly known., To keep away from troubles with the centers' net connections, or even to facilitate "manipulation" such as the extraction of particular scenes, in many instances it is handy to download the video (and the subtitles) that we favor using. Here are quite a few free equipment that permit us to do so., , NOTE: When we speak about subtitles that are built-in into a YouTube video, we are referring to these that can be activated or deactivated, that is, they are now not "attached to the video" due to the fact if this case arises it would actually be very tough attempt to separate them and gather them to our non-public computer., KeepSubs: on-line application., This first choice is possibly one of the best to do as it is a net application., is "srt".. From the YouTube web page the place the video that hobbies we are located, replica its URL and then paste it in the house furnished with the aid of this on-line application. Automatically, the device will provide us in element the range of subtitles that are currently in this video, having to pick out the one in which we are involved to download; It is well worth bringing up that the. subtitle structure , SaveFrom: online application for video subtitles, Similar to the preceding one, this page affords each the download of the video and the subtitles that accompany it. Following the method already described, appear for the video on YouTube and reproduction its tackle to paste it later in the search container of the Download videos and music for free page:, After a few seconds, the download button will appear. Click on "more" to get the right of entry to all accessible formats., YouTube Caption downloader - a browser add-on, If you use Mozilla as your browser, you can download this add-on. Every time you watch a “closed-captioned” video, that is, with transcribed subtitles (not for automated ones, now not very dependable by way of the way), a button with the “CC” brand will show up below the video, and it will permit you to download the subtitles in a .srt file., Playing movies with subtitles:, Once we have the video file and the subtitle file, it is advocated to use the VLC player. It is free, it performs virtually all sorts of videos, and it can be performed with or besides subtitles., If each video file and the subtitle file are in the identical folder, and they have precisely the same name, the subtitles will be performed robotically (the identical would manifest if we performed it on a DVD). If not, as soon as the application is open, in the tab "video"> "subtitle track" you can pick out the file that pursuits you.

QUESTION: Is a null matrix also a diagonal matrix? - ANSWER: Diagonal matrix is always a square matrix in which non principle diagonal elements are zero but principle diagonal elements can be zero or non zero., But Null matrix can be square or rectangular matrix., Hence we can say that square null matrix is also a diagonal matrix., For more details refer to the video:,
