I have long been interested in something. I know a lot of things about the history of Ubuntu, but I do not know about the name.   So, why is Ubuntu named "Ubuntu"?
What does "Ubuntu" mean, and why did they choose that particular name?
Locating stolen phone after factory reset I assume any reasonable thief will wipe the phone as soon as possible, thus removing any tracking apps and user accounts.  I there a method to track the phone any way?  A possible method is to use a tracking app (and it's configuration) that's embedded in a custom ROM. What does '>/dev/null 2>&1' mean in this article of crontab basics? 'POCO' definition Can someone define what exactly 'POCO' means? I am encountering the term more and more often, and I'm wondering if it is only about plain classes or it means something more? Adding multiple jars to classpath on commandline Minimum value of $\left(a+\frac{1}{b}\right)^2+\left(b+\frac{1}{c}\right)^2+\left(c+\frac{1}{a}\right)^2$ Given $a,b,c \in \mathbb{R^+}$ such that $a+b+c=12$   Find Minimum value of $$S=\left(a+\frac{1}{b}\right)^2+\left(b+\frac{1}{c}\right)^2+\left(c+\frac{1}{a}\right)^2$$  My Try: By Cauchy Schwarz Inequality we have  $$\left(a+\frac{1}{b}\right)+\left(b+\frac{1}{c}\right)+\left(c+\frac{1}{a}\right)\le \sqrt{3}\sqrt{S}$$  $\implies$  $$\sqrt{3S} \ge 12+\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}$$  Now by $AM \ge HM $ inequality we have  $$\frac{a+b+c}{3} \ge \frac{3}{\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}}$$ $\implies$  $$\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c} \ge \frac{3}{4}$$  hence  $$\sqrt{3S} \ge 12+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{51}{4}$$  hence  $$3S \ge \frac{2601}{16}$$  so $$S \ge \frac{867}{16}$$  is this approach correct and any better approach please share. How to prove $n^5 - n$ is divisible by $30$ without reduction I'm using NetBeans, trying to change the familiar Java coffee cup icon to a png file that I have saved in a resources directory in the jar file.  I've found many different web pages that claim they have a solution, but so far none of them work.  Here's what I have at the moment (leaving out the try-catch block):  URL url = new URL("com/xyz/resources/camera.png"); Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); Image img = kit.createImage(url); getFrame().setIconImage(img);   The class that contains this code is in the com.xyz package, if that makes any difference.  That class also extends JFrame.  This code is throwing a MalformedUrlException on the first line.  Anyone have a solution that works? Proof verification: Set of partial limits of a sequence is closed I am looking for an option to require a passcode to power off my iPhone. That way, if the phone is lost, the person who finds it cannot simply turn it off, rendering Find My iPhone useless. Is there a way to accomplish this? I am studying General Relativity and some basic QFTs. It bothers me a lot that different books use different metric signatures, i.e. $(-+++)$ and $(+---).$ Can anyone tell me the advantages of using both of them, or why some people prefer the former while some prefer the latter? I would like to know which one should I while tackling different problems. I'm trying to update an existing Subscriber in the All Subscriber Table through the API; i've set up the AppId in the App Center and have connected and created Subscribers, but i'm still having issues updating.  What call do I need to be making to do this? These are the ones i've been trying. Why was Sirius ever convicted? Sirius himself says at some point in Goblet of Fire that Crouch pushed through legislation to have him convicted and thrown in Azkaban without a trial.  There seems to be a general consensus, specifically voiced by Fudge but also implicit in Crouch pushing through this legislation, that Sirius was considered one of Voldemort’s innermost, most dangerous, and most trusted right hands. Easily as inner-circle as the Lestranges, for example.  It seems quite unlikely to me that someone so close to Voldemort should not be a Death Eater—apart from Fenrir Greyback (who I would think is much less inner-circle), I do not recall hearing of any of Voldemort’s important servants not being Death Eaters.  As far as canon describes, all Death Eaters have the Dark Mark magic-tattooed on their arm, to be used as a way for Voldemort to summon them to him. Considering that Karkaroff, who had definitely burnt all his Death Eater bridges, still had the Dark Mark, I am assuming that getting rid of the Mark is not possible: once it’s on, it stays on.  Yet, as Hermione points out in Order of the Phoenix (ch. 16, “In the Hog’s Head”), Sirius does not have the Dark Mark.  So why was he so swiftly convicted and locked up? I mean, I know they were eager to be seen to be doing something (as Fudge keeps pointing out is his excuse for most of the miscarriages of justice he commits)… but seriously, did no one think to check if Sirius actually had a Dark Mark on his arm or not? Did the Ministry of Magic not even know at the time that all Death Eaters had the Mark? Or were they just happy to accept—without the scrutiny of a full trial—that a non-Death Eater would commit mass murder for a Voldemort who was presumed defeated? I've been trying to understand $\sigma$-algebras and how it encodes information in context of filtration. While certain parts seem clear and logical, I can't say I get the whole picture.  I'll try to explain the counter-intuition I get with the classical example of : the probability space $\Omega = \{ HH, HT, TH, TT \}$ and a r.v. $X(\omega)$ equal to the number of heads.  At times $0$, $1$ and $2$ the available information is represented using $\sigma$-algebras $\mathcal{F}_0=\{\emptyset,\Omega\}$, $\mathcal{F}_1=\{\emptyset, \Omega, \{HH,HT\},\{TH,TT\}\}$ and $\mathcal{F}_2=\{\emptyset, \Omega,\{HH,HT\},\{TH,TT\},\{HH\},\{HT\},\{TH\},\{TT\}\}$.  One can notice that $X(\omega)$ is not measurable with respect to $\mathcal{F}_0$ and $\mathcal{F}_1$, because $X^{-1}((\frac{3}{2}; +\infty))=\{HH\}$. To me it is quite surprising: intuitively $X$ makes perfect sense at all times. In particular it has an expected value at time $0$, which I interpret as that the probability and value of all outcomes $\{\omega\}$ can be computed. How do you think of a non-measurable function?  Here's another way of expressing the same confusion. The most natural choice of $\sigma$-algebra in a finite discrete case is $\mathcal{F}=2^\Omega$, and it is implicitly used in all elementary probability problems. However, this choice of $\mathcal{F}$ does not reflect the fact that some information is known or unknown, conditional probability does. Does it mean that the statement "$\sigma$-algebra is known information" make sense only in conditioning? Why is it convenient then? How to add desktop shortcut for URL, ignoring web app manifest? Goal:  Have a desktop shortcut that opens  , ignoring the contained web app manifest that otherwise "overrides" the saved shortcut to  and with "display": "standalone".  I had this working previously on an older Android phone before a replacement / upgrade.  Prior to the upgrade, I was able to long-press and open individual articles in new tabs - as well as copy link shortcuts to specific articles, as well as all of the other features and functionality that Chrome has to offer.  Here is just a partial selection of references of other users complaining about the same:       Using  provides a temporary successful work-around.  However, I can't find a successful way to add a link for this to my home screen.  The "Add to Home screen" option within Chrome instead saves a link to  - and in such a way that it opens as a web application instead of a web page within Chrome:       On a desktop operating system, this would be a non-issue.  (Create shortcut, enter desired URL, done.)  Attempt 1: Provide my own Manifest  So I created my own manifest - editing  to change the start_url attribute to https://news.google.com/news/i#0, and the display attribute from standalone to browser.  I then created my own HTML page that simply contained the below - then self-hosted both on a local web server:  &lt;html&gt;         &lt;head&gt;                 &lt;Title&gt;Google News&lt;/Title&gt;                 &lt;link rel="manifest" href="/news/manifest.json"/&gt;         &lt;/head&gt;         &lt;body&gt;                 Test         &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   However, this doesn't work:  Despite the shortcut being saved with the desired name and icon, it links back to my self-hosted HTML page, and not the indicated start_url.  Unfortunately, it appears that cross-domain URLs are not allowed per the manifest intent - as per  and  .  Attempt 1b: MITM website  Within the confines of my own local network, I figured I could try to  (MITM) the website to temporarily provide a desired manfiest to use for addition to the home screen.  Unfortunately, the website uses  here, which appropriately blocks the attempt.  Regardless - this is way too much work for what should be a simple effort.  Attempt 2: Widget Bookmark  Unfortunately, it looks like the 1x1 bookmark widget was removed in Chrome 48, as per  .  The suggested work-around is to use the "Add to Home screen" feature within Chrome.  Goto 10 / see beginning.  Attempt 3: Use the default-provided "Internet" browser  Unfortunately, using "Add shortcut on Home screen" in the default-provided "Internet" browser produces the same result as Chrome.  Consideration 4: Use a custom app / widget  Could probably write and install a custom application or widget that could be added to the home screen to meet the goal.  Or don't re-invent the wheel, and use an existing one.  Some possibilities:   "More Shortcuts":  "Shortcut Customizer":    Conclusion  How can someone create a desktop shortcut to an arbitrary URL, ignoring a provided web app manifest? Understanding Tag badges I very recently earned the below badge. But I am sorry, I do not understand it.    It says      Earned at least 100 total score for at least 20 answers in the java tag.   But I have answered 140 questions under Java tag and pretty sure would have earned more than 100 points. Then why did I receive it so late. Currently I have 3.3K points on SO.  Secondly if so, I have answered about 41 questions under Scala tag, then why didn't I receive this badge for Scala? Why isn’t the definite article used in "The commission commanded that work [...] should cease"? My prisoners wont move from the holding to cell to the actual cell I have a cell block with 25 cells but none of my prisoners will move there from the holding cell. I have working power and water beds and toilets they are separate from each other it has all the requirements why wont it work? Any ideas? What is the function of "do" in this sentence? Rarely, though, do countries introduce a single reform alone.   What function does do have in this sentence? Python setup, install one module as a sub module of another module? I have a hazy notion of some stuff in differential geometry and a better, but still not quite rigorous understanding of basics of differential topology.  I have decided to fix this lacuna once for all. Unfortunately I cannot attend a course right now. I must teach myself all the stuff by reading books.  Towards this purpose I want to know what are the most important basic theorems in differential geometry and differential topology. For a start, for differential topology, I think I must read Stokes' theorem and de Rham theorem with complete proofs.   Differential geometry is a bit more difficult. What is a connection? Which notion should I use? I want to know about parallel transport and holonomy. What are the most important and basic theorems here? Are there concise books which can teach me the stuff faster than the voluminous Spivak books?  Also finally I want to read into some algebraic geometry and Hodge/Kähler stuff.  Suggestions about important theorems and concepts to learn, and book references, will be most helpful.
