Linear regression uses the "vertical" (in 2 dimension) distance of (y - ŷ). But this is not the real distance between any point and the best fit line. i.e. - in the image here: you use the green lines instead of the purple. Is this done because the math is simpler? Because the effect of u...

This is a three-dimensional Akari puzzle (also known as Light Up). The six squares represent the layers of a $6\times6\times6$ cube, top to bottom. The objective is to add light bulbs into any number of cells so that the resulting grid satifies the following rules:1 Black cells are wal...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless flammable gas that is slightly less dense than air. So begins Wikipedia's article on carbon monoxide (CO). To the best of my internet researching ability, animals cannot 'smell' or otherwise detect CO. How could a creature, like...

I accepted a job offer for a student support position in a major bank in Austria. As expected, they require me to send some documentation before I start working there. What surprised me is that they asked me to send a photo of both sides of my bank account card. Is it safe to do so? I interview...

When reconstructing the frequency domain for an FFT, what is the most self-consistent way to do this -- i.e. how is it best to define the bin width, $\Delta f$? For example, previously I thought it a simple matter of saying, $$\Delta f = span / N_{points,FFT}$$ where the span is the size of the ...

I have heard in certain songs the usage of a diminished chord in a major tonality which I think is not constructed over the seventh degree nor over the second degree. Moreover, in the two examples at which I have found this resource, I have noticed that it is used with the same chord-sequence: ...

I'm using a working template containing this line below and am wondering what unit is used? I'd expect at least e.g. 3.18pt to be necessary. \vspace{3.18\baselineskip}

I recently came across the following issue in a homebrew campaign setting, and am unsure how it would work RAW: Our Warlock had used Minions of Chaos to summon a Fire Elemental via Conjure Elemental. Shortly after this we entered the Feywild, leaving the minion on guard duty on the Prime Materia...

I'm trying to evaluate interpolating function returned by NDEigensystem at a point but Mathematica won't evaluate it. {vals, funs} = NDEigensystem[-Laplacian[u[x], {x}], u[x], {x, 0, \[Pi]}, 4]; f = funs[[3]] (*3rd eigenfunction*) Plot[f[x], {x, 0, Pi}] (*this plot returns blank plot*) Plot[f,...

I want the title (a label) of my map in print composer to automatically contain the name I've given the print composer and also the date that it was created. For example I want it to say 'Really cool map of (print composer name) created on (date the print composer was created).' I can then use i...

I am playing a Shadowcaster in a 3.5e Forgotten Realms campaign and I took Still Mystery at 1st level, which lets me cast mysteries without the use of somatic components. What is the benefit of being able to do that?

Particularly the first and second stages into earth orbit - were the stages run dry before separation? On first thoughts, It would seem to be safer to do so, but I realised the engines required liquid fuel to act as a coolant prior to ignition in the combustion chamber. Also, the final orbit mig...

Internet Judaism gadfly Dov Bear related the following story about the Vilna Gaon on Facebook, saying he'd heard it somewhere, and asked if anyone knows a source for it. The great Gaon of Vilna sat with voice but no vote on the Council of the Jews of Vilna. His task was to comment from a Tora...

The file format extension of .bib stands for the "bibliography"; a file that the BibTeX engine gets as an input. The file-format-extension of .bst has been derived from the expression of "bibliography style", as an equivalent command in LaTeX represents the same. But, what does the .bbl file-ext...

From the Wikipedia's 65CE02 page: Internally, the pipeline of the 65CE02 was redesigned to reduce the number of cycles required to execute an instruction. The 65CE02 can recover faster from engagement of the SYNC signal, which reduces the minimum instruction execution time from 2 cycles...

The energy momentum equation in special relativity is: $$E^2=(pc)^2+(mc^2)^2.$$ and it holds for a moving but not accelerating object. One special case is the massless photon: $$E=pc.$$ And another one is a resting object: $$E=mc^2.$$ The first term in the energy momentum equation seems to be kin...

There are so many biological processes which are dependent upon ions of lighter metals (upper part of periodic table) such as K+, Na+, Mg2+ and even early transition elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni) but I haven't yet come across dependence of biological phenomena on aluminium. Is it because there is les...

At the beginning of Willow, before the wizard chooses his apprentice for the year, Willow participates in a Nelwyn fair where he demonstrates two magic tricks: pushing a blazing arrow through a cylinder he wears on his arm (so supposedly, the burning arrow goes through his arm as well) while st...

When Alita gets put into the second body (the URM one) she notices there are jets on the arms, which Doctor Ido explains are plasma jets. Does she ever actually use these? It seems weird that they had a mention but then didn't get used, but I don't remember ever seeing them being used - am I mis...

Let's say we have a spy that has been True Polymorphed into a sheep (to blend in, obviously). The spy originally knew Common + some other languages. As a sheep, though, she can only bleat. True Polymorph includes in the description (emphasis mine): The target's game statistics, including me...

Given a simple and connected graph $G=(V, E)$. I know it's NP-Complete to determine if $G$ has a Hamiltonian Cycle (HC). But if we know $G$ indeed contains an HC, can we find the cycle in poly-time?

I hold an EU Blue Card and an Indian Passport and have submitted a paper to a conference in the USA due to occur in September 2019. The Blue Card will expire in August 2019 but have already obtained an extension for the same. In order to present the paper in the conference I need to apply for a ...

I read once that there is a German word (or perhaps phrase), that developed during the Black Death, for a village that is "returning to the forest". Certainly the devastation suffered at that time by Germany (or more properly the Holy Roman Empire), combined with its low population density and hi...

It's been a while since I visited the Old City in Jerusalem. I recall that there is a giant mezuzah on the sidewall of the Zion Gate. I don't recall if all the Jerusalem gates have a mezuzah. I'm curious as to why that mezuzah is needed? Perhaps, at some point, people actually did live in the wa...

Is there any way for an Adventurers League character in the 8th season of AL to gain heavy armor proficiency? My level 5 wizard has no armor proficiencies, and the only way I found to get it was the following: Multiclass into fighter or barbarian and then gain the Heavily Armored feat. Are ther...

Joseph Conrad, "The Nigger Of The "Narcissus": A Tale Of The Forecastle": Donkin gulped greedily, glaring over the rim. Belfast made us laugh when with grimacing mouth he shouted:—“Pass it this way. We're all taytottlers here.” So the sailors are passing the water to each other after the st...

I came into the office today and the first thing my manager asked me was is if I saw the 'floor people' while I was walking through the building. The reason he asked me this was because he had put in a request last week for our janitors to mop up and then re-wax the tile floor in our area this mo...

Let $R$ be a finite von Neumann algebra and $S$ be a von Neumann subalgebra of $R$. Does every normal tracial state on $S$ extend to a normal tracial state on $R$?

On page 21 of Applied Linear Regression, fourth edition, by Sanford Weisberg, the error $e_i$ for case $i$ under the simple linear regression model is defined to be $y_i - E(Y | X = x_i)$, where $E(Y | X = x_i)$ is assumed to equal $\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i$ for some unknown $\beta_0, \beta_1 \in \m...
