I use Stack Overflow and the related sites on a semi-daily basis. Today I found that the following no longer works (the buttons do nothing):   "Log in using Google" on at least rpg.se (I can work around this by clicking "More login options" and filling in the OpenID in the text box) The StackExchange drop-down and the two icons to the right of it on the top toolbar on rpg.se and workplace.se   The icon to the left of the URL showed a warning sign for workplace.se and tex.se in Firefox. When clicking it I got a "This website does not supply ownership information." message. After reloading using Ctrl-Shift-r the icon changed to the familiar lock on workplace.se, but not on tex.se. The voting buttons now work on both sites, so maybe this is unrelated?  I'm currently using HTTPS Everywhere. Is there a known issue with this?
I can't seem to log in with my Stack Exchange OpenID. When I try, I get the error message:     Unable to log in with your OpenID provider:      The openid.return_to parameter (.) does not match the actual URL (.) the request was made with.   It works if I disable the HTTPS-Everywhere plugin in Firefox, but if I then re-enable the plugin and go to a site on which I am not logged in (in which case login is normally nearly seamless), it fails again with the same error message, or at least something very similar.  I'm not aware of having done anything that might have caused this, although I will admit I don't recall seeing https:// in the address bar on Stack Exchange before (I do now, and that's a good thing IMO!). I was using the site  and it worked fine then, but not now...
I am lost in normalizing, could anyone guide me please.  I have a minimum and maximum values, say -23.89 and 7.54990767, respectively.  If I get a value of 5.6878 how can I scale this value on a scale of 0 to 1. I'm creating a historically inspired campaign where the standard fantasy races are extremely intermingled, and conflict is usually based on politics or religion, rather than species divisions. I can't, however, think of a good word to separate the PC races (Elves, dwarves, humans, halflings... you guys know.) from the monsters and creatures who live outside society. Basically, if in the real world someone would say: "I refuse to kill another human." in this setting I need a catch-all word to replace human.  Sentient sounds too sci-fi. Kindred sounds too... Vampire-y. Any suggestions? After my online research on the subject, I learnt that, biologically speaking, many scientists believe that there is no such thing as a race. Homo sapiens as a species is only 200,000 years old, which has not allowed for any significant genetic diversification yet, and our DNA is 99.99% similar. I've read statements that there can be more genetic variation inside a racial group than between different racial groups, meaning that, for example, two individuals from the same "race" can have less in common with each other than with an individual from another "race".  :     Scientists consider biological essentialism obsolete, and generally discourage racial explanations for collective differentiation in both physical and behavioral traits     Q1: If Homo sapiens has no races (according to biologists), why are we so different morphologically? (hair/eyes/skin colour and even athletic performance seem to differ between human populations)  Q2: Is it common for other species too, when genetically close populations have very different morphological traits? Are there any other mammal or animal species that exhibit biological diversity comparable to human diversity, and how do taxonomists treat these species? (excluding intentionally bred domestic species to keep the comparison fair)    The question has been paraphrased to emphasize that it is the biological debate that is in question, not the sociopolitical. I.e., why is there no consensus in evidence and opinions of scientists? formatting long numbers as strings in python What is an easy way in Python to format integers into strings representing thousands with K, and millions with M, and leaving just couple digits after comma?  I'd like to show 7436313 as 7.44M, and 2345 as 2,34K.  Is there some % string formatting operator available for that? Or that could be done only by actually dividing by 1000 in a loop and constructing result string step by step? Why is $1$ not a prime number? This problem is from Discrete Mathematics and its Applications  My question is on 9b. I know that the sign represents an element is a member of. (from book)  I know that the O with a slash across it is the empty set which &quot;is a special set that has no elements&quot;. From , I got that the empty set is a subset of all sets, meaning that every member of the empty set(nothing) is also a member of any other set. Based on all of this, for 9b, would {0} contain the empty set because it fundamentally has the elements that consist of the empty set(nothing) or does it physically have to have the empty set? I've got a very large document (which I've broken into "chapters" and such) which I've recently moved a few things around in.  Is there a nice way to get latex to output a list of forward references? (like, things in chapter 5 that reference a result in chapter 10) Getting from Denver Amtrak to Fort Collins The eastbound Amtrak arrives Denver 6:38 PM (18:38).  How can I get to Fort Collins from there?   The  runs  from Denver International Airport to Fort Collins, but the airport is 40 km from the Amtrak station, so that's a major detour, that would mean taking bus FX from Market Street Station 7:18 PM, arriving at the airport at 8:27 PM, then the super shuttle 9:05 PM, arriving Fort Collins CSU at 10:55 PM; almost 4 hours after departing from Denver. Greyhound Lines appears to have a bus departing 12:45 AM, arriving 02:00 AM — although probably as quick as it gets, this is not exactly a comfortable time. RTD Denver has transportation to Longmont and  from Longmont to Fort Collins, but  appears to depart 7:05 PM — so I won't make it there when arriving by Amtrak.  A taxi would cost an estimated .   Is there any other way to get to Fort Collins when arriving by the eastbound Amtrak, any way that I've missed? A strict equality operator will tell you if two object types are equal. However, is there a way to tell if two objects are equal, much like the hash code value in Java?  Stack Overflow question  is similar to this question, but requires a more academic answer. The scenario above demonstrates why it would be necessary to have one, and I'm wondering if there is any equivalent solution. "happen to be" and "happen to have" - expressions of probability? Based on Logman dictionary:       happen to do something: if you happen to do something, you do it by chance.   for example take a look at these examples:     They happen to be unemployed at the time. I happen to have a degree in computer science.    So based on the definition of the happen to do something, first one means they are probably unemployed at the time. and the second one means I probably have a degree in computer science.     Am I right? I need to refer to a model described elsewhere, from a section title, like  \section{Analysis of model X}    One way of referring to a model is to create a new counter, and then write  \section{Analysis of \cref{grandmodelofeverything}}   But now hyperref will complain because of invalid token, and it does not look good in the TOC either, especially since the titles of the sections the describe the models are more descriptive than  \section{Model 1}   They are currently like  \section{Adding the effect from Y processes}   Do I need to invent semi-descriptive long names like "The model by Authors with this modification" or can I live with these quirks? Fortunately, I can still login with this email address that I have lost access to.  I have been searching around here for a way to update it to the current one I use.  I have found many answers.  But they all give instructions to click on something not displayed or in one case, a page that prompts me to login via another email I no longer have the password for. I need current up to date instructions on how to change my email address or add another email-based login for this same user name that I am posting this with. Could the Olympians use modern celestial weapons? Instead of using short range celestial bronze (CB) weapons like swords and arrows why not make advanced weapons like machine guns or grenades with CB shrapnel in it? What to include in my portfolio? I am a relatively recent graphic design graduate. I have been working at a small printing house for about two years, but will soon be interviewing for a different position in another city.  My question is about what to include in my design portfolio. When I was in school, my professors all insisted that work included in a portfolio should be 100% original: my original photography, my original logos, my original layout, my original written content etc. However, at my current office, we rely heavily on client-supplied logos, type content, and photography—and stock photography (shutterstock, etc).  What do other designers include in their portfolios? Has anyone else had this issue and can I reasonable include these more recent projects in my portfolio if I label them appropriately (something like "layout design")? Get display resolution from the command line for Linux Desktop I'm looking for a method of reporting display resolution. I want to set up scripts to launch rdesktop, and I want to launch it on several machines with different resolutions, so I want a way to dynamically determine it. How to fix slow wireless on machines with Intel wireless cards? Correcting for multiple kruskal wallis tests I am running a kruskal wallis test a number of times (37) and wanted to know if I have to adjust the p-values of the kruskal tests before I look any further into the post hocs? has been solved, in XeTeX, by this code:  \def\kright#1{\leavevmode #1\kern-\XeTeXglyphbounds3 \the\XeTeXcharglyph`#1 } \def\kleft#1{\leavevmode \kern-\XeTeXglyphbounds1 \the\XeTeXcharglyph`#1 #1}   which allows me to align text more precisely to the ink by accessing the side-bearing measurements (\XeTeXglyphbounds1 and 3).  This XeTeX dependency is currently the only thing stopping me from moving to LuaTeX (mainly for microtype). Is an equivalent function available in LuaTeX, or planned?    After reading a bit more on microtype, could the equivalent effect be achieved by an appropriately-tailored set of character protrusions? That way, my move to LuaTeX might be a lot simpler. $\infty = -1 $ paradox I puzzled two high school Pre-calc math teachers today with a little proof (maybe not) I found a couple years ago that infinity is equal to -1:   Let x equal the geometric series: $1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 \ldots$  $x = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 \ldots$ Multiply each side by 2:  $2x = 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 \ldots$ Again from the equation in step 1, move the $1$ term to the left hand of the equation:  $x - 1 = 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 \ldots$ So the following appears to be true:  $2x = x - 1 \implies x = -1$   This is obviously illogical. The teachers told me the problem has to do with adding the two infinite geometric series, but they weren't positive. I'm currently in Pre-calc, so I have extremely little knowledge on calculus, but a little help with this paradox would be appreciated.
