I was involved in some not-safe-for-work (NSFW) photoshoots and amateur videos with a photographer in my undergrad (in the US) when I was going through a rough time. The media include my face in them (yes, stupid decision), and since I signed a model release he owns the pictures and videos.   He then set up a Tumblr account and posted the pictures and videos there (which I knew of and didn't mind at the time). However I recently realized that people had been stealing them and posting them on porn sites, and they've been up there for around 3-4 years now. There's no identifying information in them other than my face, so you wouldn't be able to just find them if you searched my name; you have to put in somewhat obscure terms or just happen to come across them to find them, really. Nevertheless I was shocked to see myself there. I'm trying to take them down but the videos are just on so many random porn sites that it'll be impossible to remove all of them. On top of that I don't technically own the media so there's that.   Anyway, I'm wondering how much of an impact this might have on my career? I'm currently doing a PhD in the EU and will apply to both industry and academia jobs in a few years.   I've seen , but decided to post a separate question since the other poster was able to take down the pics and their media was not as widely proliferated as mine are (from what I could tell), plus mine are on porn sites.   I've managed to have the images/videos removed from (what I'd consider) one of the two major websites they were on; hopefully I can get them removed from the other one too and then it'll be even more unlikely that people will find them?
I have an ex who has posted nude photos of me online in the past, linked to my online social media, and posted my full name and where I live. I am concerned he may do so again once he finds out I'm now in a PhD program (he's very jealous of any success I have), and may link to my school bio page, or worse.   Revenge porn is illegal in my state, and the case against him is currently pending. I have also gotten the photos taken down with a DMCA letter (I hold the copyright over the photos in question). At this point, I am concerned with how a future attempt could affect my career.  I can handle the embarrassment now that I've been through it once, so if that's the biggest concern, I can deal. I just don't want to lose a career over it, given how small academia really is and how a reputation might follow one around.  My question is, if I don't change my name (I've considered this, assuming I can keep him from finding out) and my photos are circulated and discovered by faculty or students, how likely am I to be thrown out of my PhD program or later lose a job as an untenured prof? Is a name change worth it?   (If it makes any difference, they are essentially just topless portraits; I'm not engaged in any sexual activity or anything weird, and were taken 10 years ago when I was very young and foolish.)
how to reduce DC voltage using resistors? How would one go about using a 12 V DC power source to power something which needs 4.5 V DC using resistors? Is there a way to determine how much adding a resistor would drop the voltage? Node only partially rendered near edge of plot I'm trying to draw a relatively simple chart of a number line, and when one of the nodes is too close to the edge of the plot, it gets cut off.

(java) ObjectInputStream deserializing wrong version of object Density of random variables Let $X$ and $Y$ be independent random variables with respective densities: $f_X (x) = xe^{-\frac{x^2}{ 2}} 1_{]0,+\infty[} (x)$ and $ f_Y (y) =  \frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{1-y^2}} 1_{]-1,1[} (y)$  Let $U:=XY$ and $V:=X\sqrt{1-Y^2}$  I try to check whether U and V are independent and which law they follow.  What I did:  After some calculations, I found the density of $(U,V)$:  $ f_{(U,V)}(u,v)=\frac{1}{\pi } e^{-\frac{u^2}{ 2}}1_{\mathbb{R}}e^{-\frac{v^2}{ 2}}1_{\mathbb{R}_+^* }$ Which mean that $(U,V)$ follows a $ \mathcal{N}(0,1)$ law (because $u^2+v^2=x^2$) and that  U and V are independent because $f_{(U,V)}$ can be factored as the products of densities of $U$ and $V$  My question:  There is a factor $\frac{1}{\pi}$ and I don't know to which density it will belong: to $U$ density or to $V$ density?

What do you call a person who keeps reminding others of one’s favors for them? When you fight with a person who then keeps telling you I did that I did this for you and so on. I want to tell them that it's inappropriate to remind others of the favors you did for them, especially if I appreciate those favors and try my best to return them. Rigorous proof that surjectivity implies injectivity for finite sets When I receive a message on an SE post, I get a notification like this:    If I double tap this notification, the SE application opens, but my feed is empty approximately half the time. It looks like this:    If I refresh the feed (slide from the top), the feed does refresh and shows the new notification.   The notification, above, leads to  comment.  I haven't figured out the pattern yet, but this occurs roughly half the time I open a notification. It's occurred for chat messages, comments and answers - but not consistently. I have received notifications for the same post (for example, the two comments after the one linked above) that do not show an empty feed. But, a chat message barely 10 minutes later will show the empty feed again.  I am utilizing the beta app - version 1.0.72 on Android 5.0.1. I have two independent groups: from one I have drawn a sample of size less than 30 due to its small population, while the second group has sample size 100.  Is it appropriate to use an independent samples t-test in this case? Meaning of $\int \phi^\dagger \hat A \psi \:\mathrm dx$ While analysing a problem in quantum Mechanics, I realized that I don't fully understand the physical meanings of certain integrals. I have been interpreting:    $\int \phi^\dagger \hat A \psi \:\mathrm dx$  as "(square root of) probability that a particle with state $|\psi\rangle$ will collapse to a state $|\phi\rangle$ when one tries to observe the observable corresponding to $\hat A$" $\int \phi^\dagger  \psi \:\mathrm dx$ as "(square root of) probability that a particle with state $|\psi\rangle$ will collapse to a state $|\phi\rangle$".   All integrals are over all space here, and all $\phi$s and $\psi$s are normalized.  Now, I realize that  interpretation of the first integral doesn't really make sense when put side by side with the second one.   For example, when $|\phi\rangle$ is an eigenstate of $\hat A$, I get two different expressions for "the square root of probability that one will get the corresponding eigenvalue of $\psi$ when one tries to observe the observable corresponding to $\hat A$". As far as I can tell, $\int \phi^\dagger \hat A \psi \:\mathrm dx \neq\int \phi^\dagger  \psi \:\mathrm dx $, even if $|\phi\rangle$ is an eigenstate of $\hat A$. I am inclined to believe that the second integral is the correct answer here (it comes naturally when you split $|\psi\rangle$ into a linear combination of basis vectors). But I am at a loss as to the interpretation of the first integral.  So, my question is, what are the physical interpretations of $\int \phi^\dagger \hat A \psi \:\mathrm dx$ and $\int \phi^\dagger  \psi \:\mathrm dx$?  (While I am familiar with the bra-ket notation, I have not used it in this question as I don't want to confuse myself further. Feel free to use it in your answer, though) What issues should be considered when overriding equals and hashCode in Java? What issues / pitfalls must be considered when overriding equals and hashCode? Why didn't the rebels on Hoth use X-Wings to fight AT-ATs? do a good job explaining why the Imperial forces didn't have fighter protection for their ground force on Hoth.  But nothing there explains why the Rebels didn't use X-Wings to easily dispatch the AT-ATs and buy more time. They obviously had them available because they were sending them off with transports and some of these were obviously not sent until after "defending" the base (since a few of the pilots of the X-Wings were the Rogue Squadron pilots fighting in the Battle of Hoth).  This happens in the EU in the book  (in fact, the cover picture shows this scene) with great success and Wedge actually comments, on page 120:     Back then we were in airspeeders - undergunned and overmatched... Not the case this time [referring to being in X-Wings against AT-ATs instead of speeders on Hoth]   This indicates X-Wings can perform in cold conditions - there was snow in this environment as described by Corran Horn after he is shot down. The temperature difference between day-time on Hoth and here is unknown however.  Additionally, the X-Wings were able to destroy the AT-ATs with their laser cannons only - no grappling was required.  I suspect the answer is basically "because that would have been boring to watch on-screen" but it seems there may have been an actual in-universe reason outside of this. Sum $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{5}{6\cdot 12} + \frac{5\cdot 8}{6\cdot 12\cdot 18} + \frac{5\cdot 8\cdot 11}{6\cdot 12\cdot 18\cdot 24}+\ldots$ A series is given as follows   $$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{5}{6\cdot 12} + \frac{5\cdot 8}{6\cdot 12\cdot 18} + \frac{5\cdot 8\cdot 11}{6\cdot 12\cdot 18\cdot 24}+\ldots$$  Can you give me hints to get started finding its value? Thanks. Array with labeling columns Is there an intelligent way to label (or name) columns in a matrix? I would like to have something like  \[M=\left[\begin{array}{c|cc} 1 &amp; 2 &amp; 3\\ 4 &amp; 5 &amp; 6 \end{array}\right],N=\left[\begin{array}{c|cc} 7 &amp; 8 &amp; 9\\ 10 &amp; 11 &amp; 12 \end{array}\right]\] \[A \ B \ C \ D \ E \ F\]   where A, B,..., F are the labels (or rather names) of the first, second, ..., sixth columns, respectively. What I want is to label A be exactly below the first column, label B be below the second column, etc., of course, nicely aligned. So far I have forced some extra spaces before the labels manually, and also experimented with the \phantom command. In the Pottermore article on  it's mentioned that other fractional platforms exist (7 1/2, for instance). Is it ever stated elsewhere where these platforms lead? Perhaps you could get a connection from your hometown by accessing one of these platforms? I'm just starting to learn linear algebra and I understand Gaussion elimination but I don't understand this proof:    Is the heart of this the fact that all the while when I've been row-reducing matrices to reduced row-echelon form... I've actually been multiplying a matrix by a series of a elementary matrices?  What does the notation $[A\ \ 0]$ mean?  How is the equation $A = E_1^{-1}...E_k^{-1}$ arrived at?
