We thank everyone who have donated, helped set up, etc.   Is "have" correct or "has"?
Which is correct?     Everyone were convinced that he would go to the game.   Everyone was convinced that he would go to the game.   I think it's "was", because "everyone" is singular, but I just wanted to check.
it VS. this Vs. that let's say that I have a following file structure:  ~/DIR1 -fileA -DIR2 --fileB   Then, being in ~, I run this script:  cp DIR1 NEWDIR2   And just an error happens:  cp: omitting directory ‘DIR1’   I understand why nothing from DIR1 gets copied (because I didn't use -r switch that would enforce recursion) but I'd expect the DIR1 folder itself copied to NEWDIR2 (so practically a creation of a new "NEWDIR2" in ~ or a creation of ~/NEWDIR2/DIR1).  Could someone explain to me why is my expectation wrong? Symbols instead of numbers as footnote markers How can I make LaTeX use symbols (*, †, ‡, and so on) instead of numbers to mark footnotes?  (The numbers are confusing because I use superscripted numbers for citations.) How can I install an app given only its APK file? I downloaded the APK file for an app to my PC.  How can I install it on my phone? I am looking for idioms or informal/slang/colloquial expression for some people that make you think that they are able of building a skyscraper, constructing a spaceship, playing the piano better than Mozart or something very fancy that requires remarkable skills, but when it comes to practice they prove to be completely inadequate. given that $f$ is an analytic function with real part $u$ is a polynomial in the variable of $x,y$, $z=x+iy$, we need to show $f$ is a polynomial in $z$, I am kind of puzzled to see the problem, first I would like to say:any hint please For $a, b \geq 0$, $0 < x < 1$, show $(a+b)^x \leq a^x + b^x$ Let $a, b$ be positive real numbers. Let $0 &lt; x &lt; 1$. Show that  $(a+b)^x &lt; a^x + b^x$.  The function $f(x) = (a+b)^x -a^x - b^x$ has $f(0) = -1$, $f(1) = 0$ and it seems to be an increasing function. But I am unable to show that it is increasing function. Filter questions with no accepted answer I have some questions with answers, but none of the answers are acceptable (just wrong).  I'm sure there are a lot more people with the same problem.  Can you add a button to filter questions with answers but no accepted answer?  This way, people will see those questions and maybe try to offer a new perspective. Sci-fi story where all 'citizens' had shares in a global company Not everyone was a citizen though, there was a significant underclass who had no shares.  One character was a celebrity in some sort of combat game who was followed by camera drones &amp; used drugs to suppress puberty so he waa an eternal 'child', I have the impression that medical science allowed virtual immortality short of accidents.  One character (may have been the same one) had had a 'previous life' &amp; had committed personality suicide by some form of mind wipe bequeathing his worldly possessions to the new personality that would eventually develop in his old body.  I think the motive for this 'suicide' was essentially boredom, he'd lived a long time.  The mind wipe in question was pretty extensive &amp; all encompassing, he had to be cared for &amp; educated from scratch as if a newborn baby in an adult body, nappies &amp; all (but I'm pretty sure this was purely backstory in the book I read).  He also had miniature nano organisms (or bots?) like miniature worms or millipedes that complimented his immune system &amp; aided healing, they were self replicating, pretty sure they were some sort of bioengineered organism tailored to his DNA rather than bots  but not 100% on that.  There was an organism spanning a large area on the planet that absorbed (or consumed) anything that wandered into it but saved the DNA of anything it had previously absorbed &amp; might randomly reproduce any animal plant or individual it had previously absorbed fully formed.  One of the characters fell into this but got pulled out before the full effects took hold, as a result he grew leaves from his head &amp; his immune system was then constantly battling with the 'infection'.  When did I read this? probably some time in the 80's in the UK.  When was it written? I haven't a clue, sorry.  It was a paperback, probably something I had out of a library, because I never get rid of anything I've bought myself so I'd still have it &amp; be able to dig it out if it wasn't a library loan.  I have lots of fragments of world background &amp; 'colour' that seem to have stuck in my mind there, but a complete lack of any story arc to go with them. Discrepency in unanswered questions counts On , I notice that if I use the lower &quot;unanswered&quot; tab (the one in line with &quot;All Questions&quot;), the count is 1,432 questions. If I use the upper &quot;Unanswered&quot; tab (in line with the site title), I get 1,383 &quot;questions with no upvoted or accepted answers&quot;.  This changes the options in the lower tab, one of which is &quot;no answers&quot;.  Clicking here, I now get 1,083 &quot;questions with no answers&quot;. If I run select Id from Posts where PostTypeId=1 and AnswerCount=0;  in the , I get 1158 rows back. Which of these is correct, and why is the first one (1,432) so much higher than the others?  I understand that the numbers may only be updated periodically, but that difference in particular seems much too great for this to be the reason. To clarify:  1,432 is the number of &quot;unanswered questions&quot;. 1,383 is the number of &quot;questions with no upvoted or accepted answers&quot;. 1,083 is the number of &quot;questions with no answer&quot; 1,158 is the number of questions with no answer in the data explorer.  This is not live data, but that means it should be smaller, not larger, than 1,083.  I promise we did not offset this with answers to the tune of 80 questions this week.  The first three are obviously live because they fluctuate. The difference between the first two is ~50, implying they actually don't refer to the same thing, and the difference between the last two seems too great (and in the wrong direction) to be explained by the a live vs. data explorer source. Are Newton's "laws" of motion laws or definitions of force and mass? If you consider  as laws, then there must be independent definitions of  and  but I don't think there's such definitions.  If you consider them as definitions, then why are they still called laws? Is there a description of Stack Exchange/Stack Overflow sites? I'm trying to find an alternative to the standard tombstone qed symbol for more informal papers. I initially thought of an empty square with Pub written inside, but what would actually be better would be a small beer mug symbol. (much like the one found in this set of icons )  Unfortunately there doesn't seem to such a symbol in the comprehensive latex symbol list (although many funny symbols can be found there). Has anyone thought about this? Is there any quick-and-dirty solution? polyglossia or bidi bug: [\d\.] gets inverted to [\.\d] After bidi was updated to v. 19.6 (2016-05-23), using at least one RTL language with polyglossia leads to number and following dot being inverted. Cf.  \documentclass{book} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setotherlanguage{hebrew} \begin{document} 6. \end{document}   with and without \setotherlanguage{hebrew}. Note that it is not necessary to actually use that language.  I do not know whether this is a bug in bidi or an incompatible change which polyglossia needs to adapt to. Because of this I have not opened an issue on polyglossia's github page. Sadly, bidi's contact information are outdated – the sourceforge referred to on CTAN is unused and the github page that is mentioned in the package's readme and PDF does not seem to exist any more either.  The problem might be something along the lines of     Does anybody have the previous version of bidi at hand?  TIA, Dario What did my neural network just learn? What features does it care about and why? Proving the inequality $\frac{n^k}{k^k}\leq\binom{n}{k}\leq\frac{n^k}{k!}$ involving binomial coefficient. What is the best way of proving inequalities including binomial coefficients in general? Lets look at this example:     $$\frac{n^k}{k^k}\leq\binom{n}{k}\leq\frac{n^k}{k!}$$   What I started with is:  $$\binom{n}{k}\frac{1}{n^k}\leq\frac{1}{k!}$$ $$\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}\frac{1}{n^k}\leq\frac{1}{k!}$$ $$\frac{(n-1)!}{(n-k)!n^{k-1}}\leq1$$ This is where I got stuck. How can I prove that is is lower than or equal to 1? Could you give me a hint? Tools to get a pictorial function call graph of code How can I set the default terminal used in Unity?  I would like to use the Ctrl+Alt+T hotkey to start a non-default terminal. The default terminal is gnome-terminal.   Where can I change the default terminal value? What evidence is there that 'to' belongs to any particular part of speech? Reopen note:  There is a quite finite and modest amount of evidence in the literature about this issue, which members can record here as they see fit. Less than there is for example about what a noun is or what a verb is, or how to tell what the Subject of a sentence is. It's a simple question, that people need to be able to get answered on a site such as this. It is of continuing interest as more recent questions such as  attest to. The fact that people disagree about the outcome of the evidence does not mean that there is too much evidence to be documented. Quite the reverse. They disagree because there is relatively little evidence altogether. However, it is seriously interesting evidence.   The question   What part of speech is to as in:   I need to know. To err is human, to forgive divine. What am I to do?   This question is not really about the difference in meaning between the examples. It is a question about what grammatical or syntactic reasons we have to classify this item as a particular part of speech. If arguing that it is 'its own part of speech', I'd like to know what grammatical - but not historical - reasons you have for your claim.   Just to clarify, I'm not asking about what assignment any particular authority or publication gives it. I'm interested to know the reasons why. Your own personal insights are also very welcome.  If you're a grammar anorak - like me - then you may want a list of the contenders out there from other grammarians.
