A immortal dictator controls an island with about 1,000,000 people. Apparently, he's super into eugenics and wants the population of the island to be "the ultimate humans". Assume he can control who reproduces (and who does not). He would want to select the "top" X% of fertile females and Y% of f...

This is a question somewhat difficult to explain, in music theory it is said that simple, compound and odd meters subdivide into beats that are grouped into 2s for simple, 3s for compound and 2s 3s or 3s 2s for odds. However, how are these beats given emphasis if they have no marking that gives t...

Can I call a door to the left 'left door'? The word left is also an adjective, and it doesn't sound wrong to me, but I wanted to make sure. Let's say I'm in a room, and there's a door to my left and another to my right. A man opens the door to my left and comes in. Can I say that the man came in ...

Consider the answer given by Michael in what is essentially the title of my question: https://math.stackexchange.com/a/2089754/1027258.

How would you go about simplifying this circuit down to a single resistor? It’s Learning assesment E2.23 in "Basic engineering circuit analysis (Ed. 10 & 11)" I have found out, that the current dosent just go down the path without the resistor, since it splits. But I don’t have an idea for how to...

I am in a research group in a French university in physics (I am a 1st year PhD student) and in a seminar in my university I used a slur against an Israeli professor, Professor X.

An article from CNN starts out by stating that Russia "has defaulted on its foreign debt", but then appears to qualify the statement by observing that "Moscow has a grace period of 30 days from April 4 to make the payments". Generally speaking, a grace period is a time period in which a payment i...

I am currently working on a landslide-detection project coded in Python for a research group. At present we have two different sets of sensors running on two different RPis.

In the past I had the thought of ask on MathOverflow a question inspired in the title of a book by Sir Roger Penrose ([1]).

Obviously, their murder was responsible for Bruce Wayne becoming Batman, a very exceptional person.

In the Odyssey, Odysseus is sometimes addressed as διογενής "Zeus-born". For example, 11.60: διογενὲς Λαερτιάδη, πολυμήχαν' Ὀδυσσεῦ O Zeus-born son of Laërtes, Odysseus of many tricks… Clearly the meaning isn't that he's literally a son of Zeus, since his father is named in the same line. And L&...

Short version: I need to run 4" PVC electrical conduit under a 4' wide creek where the water is usually 1-4" deep. Code in this area requires cable in conduit to be 18" deep. I do want to keep it that deep or, if I can manage it, maybe 24" deep so changes in the creekbed will not create any probl...

It's obvious that there's a long tradition of putting on tefillin each morning that isn't Shabbos or YomTov but what's the source for this? Why each day? Before pekudei d'zmrah, after putting on tefillin, we read two (consecutive) passages from Shemos which identify tefillin as a commemoration of...

If I do something like 1/Sqrt[x] /. {Sqrt[x] -> a} it does not lead to an expected result, but can be fixed with 1/Sqrt[x] /. {Sqrt[x] -> a, 1/Sqrt[x] -> 1/a} I am wondering if, for given g[x] and h[x], there exists a general way of replacing any f[g[x]] with f[h[x]]?

No moon likely means no tides. Does this make a planet half water, half land, or similar divisions? Do freshwater and saltwater have separation?

Say I have a set of 10 values I want to draw 3 values from, uniformly, without replacement. For instance: $$S = \{0,0,0,0,22.95,0,0,0,19.125,25.5\}$$ With replacement, this seems simple, you just add all the values up and divide by $10$, giving $6.7575$, and multiplying by $3$ you get $20.2725$. ...

What does it really mean to say that a three-body problem (the Sun, the earth, and the moon) is not solvable? Why is it not possible to solve the differential equations on a computer with adequate initial conditions? What's the real issue here?

I have picked up a habit of including . from some blog post: 0 0 * * * . $HOME/Documents/scripts/<.sh file> ...instead of: 0 0 * * * $HOME/Documents/scripts/<.sh file> For instance a visual cron schedule expression editor cron.guru considers using the character as an error, but my scripts appe...

I have this: I would like to this but don't know how: Delay the curves to happen in different times per each curve from bottom to top To not have consistent amount of yellow dots per each curve, but increasing amount The effect in this video in timestamp 0:53 is what I'm after.

I am reading a Cantonese statement: 我日日都開行冷氣。 What is the function of 行? For me, it would have been perfectly fine as 我日日都開冷氣。 As in, I turn on the a/c everyday. Please give insights. Thanks

Suppose I have an original function as follows fun[x_] := 6*Exp[-4 x^2]; which has the following plot Plot[fun[x], {x, 0, 4}, PlotRange -> All] Then I produce a dataset from it in far x's (the reason for choosing the far x's is that I want to do a cross-check about asymptotic behavior of my ori...

As a native French speakers I used to be puzzled by Zh being used for /ʒ/. At first because I didn't understand the need for it, since in French j is /ʒ/, and dj is /dʒ/. Then I understood why English speakers need a special symbol, but Zh felt picked at random, just a letter combination that doe...

It is well known that any quantum time-evolution of local, time-dependent Hamiltonians can be described using a poly-depth (in number of qubits) quantum circuit (DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.170501; DOI: 10.1126/science.273.5278.1073). Since poly-depth quantum circuits can be described with a poly...

Since a telescope is just a very powerful eye, if it took the light of Earendel 12.9 billion years for it to reach the Hubble telescope, how long would it take for that same light to reach a human eye? I guess the light from Earendel would need to travel even more so that I can see it. Or is the ...

Suppose a homogenous mixture of mutually non-reactive gases is isolated in a container so that there are no external kinetic forces (vibration or rotation) that create turbulence or other mixing motion. Will the gases always tend towards a perfect stratification by mass? If not, what factors op...
