There have been  asked about the specifics of mounted combat, especially as a paladin.  and are mostly based on the rules we have in PHB p198 and on Jeremy Crawford's tweets:        The mount summoned by the find steed spell serves the summoner. It isn't an independent creature.       While ridden, the steed follows the normal mounted combat rules (PH, 198). Unridden, it has normal action options.    From what I gather from this, a mount summoned from the '' spell is intelligent and loyal enough to obey your orders without question while you are mounted on it, but is not considered an 'Intelligent creature', which could use any type of action while you are mounted, but may go against your orders. This is called an 'independent creature' in the PHB. While mounted, the non-independent creature has only the Dash, Disengage and Dodge actions, along with moving.  I have an issue with the accepted answer for this , which says the following:        The mount is "unusually intelligent": without direction it will use its movement etc. in an "unusually intelligent" way. With direction it will probably do what you telepathically say but it is an independent creature and, at the DM's behest, may do something different subject to its "unusual loyalty".   When you mount your mount you choose if you will control it or if, as it is "unusually intelligent", you will allow it to act independently as per the rules for . It all cases that I can think of, allowing it to be independent is the superior option.      To me this goes against Jeremy Crawford's tweets : the mount is not an independent creature and cannot be used as such.  Therefore, how exactly would an unmounted paladin direct, say, a summoned warhorse, during combat? Would he fully control the creature, through telepathy, allowing for attacks and trampling charges? How much does the DM has a say in whether or not the creature chooses to obey or not?
I have read so many things already that I'm more confused than before. So decided to ask this by myself.  My paladin just got his Find Steed spell, and after some tweaking and talking, he decided to get a Worg and I was okay with it. This last session was his first time using it and I have few doubts when it comes to combat.  I know that while mounted, he uses the mounts movement and actions. But what about when unmounted? What if the combat began with him walking by his mount's side?   Does the mount share his initiative? Are the actions that the mount do, part of the Paladin's actions? Or are they both separately, having his Action, Movement and Bonus Action and then the mounts Action and movement?   We've stated that it can understand him but not talk back, he just telepathically receives feelings as a feedback to his commands, knowing that the mount understood what he needed. Last session he just said things to the mount like "I tell the mount to protect the ranger and the druid" and in case they got hit, it would attack them, but it didn't really do anything at all, as I didn't know when it would act and I had too many things already to remember about the mount.
Why is a home fiber connection asymmetric? I recently switched from an ADSL to a fiber connection and was surprised to see that the bandwidth is asymmetric (1 Gbps down / 250 Mbps up).  While this is understandable in ADSL, I do not understand why fiber at home is asymmetric as well? It is not a limitation of the technology (I have symmetric fiber at the office, and always had) Even when /tmp has no file called something, searching for it with find will return 0:    $ find /tmp -name something    $ echo $?   0   How can I get a non-zero exit status when find does not find anything?

Show that for any prime $ p $, there are integers $ x $ and $ y $ such that $ p|(x^{2} + y^{2} + 1) $. So we obviously we want $ x^{2} + y^{2} + 1 \equiv 0 ~ (\text{mod} ~ p) $.  I haven’t learned much about quadratic congruences, so I don’t really know how to go forward. I suppose you can write it as $ x^{2} \equiv -1 - y^{2} ~ (\text{mod} ~ p) $, but again, I’m not sure where to go. I know about the Legendre symbol and quadratic residues, which I know are involved in this question, but I don’t know how to apply what I know. :( If a commutative ring is semiprime and its prime ideals are maximal then it is von Neumann regular (absolutely flat). If a commutative ring is semiprime and its prime ideals are maximal then it is von Neumann regular (absolutely flat).  The converse, although not immediately apparent, can be proven quite easily. But I've been stuck on this one for awhile.  I found that Bourbaki has a question in his treatise on commutative algebra, namely: if all points in Spec(A) are closed (ie. prime ideals are maximal) then A/R (where R is the nilradical) is von Neumann regular (absolutely flat). If this can be proven, the above statement follows immediately since the nilradical of a semiprime ring 0?  Ideas?

What solution(s) to the Einstein field equations yield something which can be interpreted as a wave(-like) phenomenon? I have two rasters: a digital elevation model (DEM) and a Landsat band. The grid resolution of both is 30 m, but the grids are not coincident (see image: the dark raster on top is the DEM; the light raster underneath is the Landsat band).  I want to perform some transformation of the Landsat band so that its grid aligns perfectly with the DEM grid. I've tried resampling the Landsat band to 30 m in ArcGIS using the DEM as a Snap Raster in the Environment settings, but this does not have any effect. I've also tried clipping the Landsat band to the extent of a vector polygon (that the DEM is also clipped to), while setting the DEM as the Snap Raster, but to no avail.  I suspect this is happening because both rasters are already at the same resolution (just on different grids), but I really need their grids to be aligned to be able to do any further analysis.  Can I do this in ArcGIS Desktop? I want to show that the two annuli $$A=\{r&lt;|z-z_0|&lt;R\} $$ $$A'=\{r'&lt;|z-z_0'|&lt;R'\} $$ are conformally equivalent (i.e. there exists a biholomorphic map between the two) iff $$\frac{R}{r}=\frac{R'}{r'}. $$  Sufficiency:  Suppose the ratios of the radii are the same. A suitable scaling (by $\frac{r'}{r}$) will make $A$ congruent to $A'$, and a translation will map the scaled $A$ onto $A'$. This is clearly a conformal homeomorphism.  Necessity:  The annulus $A$ has the following set of periods $$\left\{ \pm \frac{2 \pi}{\log (R/r)} \right\} $$ (this step required some computations which I will omit)  Similarly $A'$ has   $$\left\{ \pm \frac{2 \pi}{ \log(R'/r')} \right\}$$ as its set of periods. Since the set of periods is a conformal invariant. The ratios of the radii must indeed by the same.  Is this proof correct?   Thanks! What is the argument selector tracking a defined score (not [score_min=])? What if I want to make a command like this:  execute @e[score_A=10] ~ ~ ~ summon Creeper   So that the entity must have a score of 10 (not less, not more)?  Does it even exist that or a [score_A_max=] argument?  I know about scoreboard players test, but i guess it is not the case to use it. Looks like flagging has been affected by releases today. Are these intended effects?   Higher daily limits (appear doubled for me, flagging of posts limit also doubled).  Explained by Shog9 below. Soft comment deletion  - e.g. for "accept rate" obsolete comments - it does in fact work, but the immediate feedback is gone.  This is fixed now. Has the throttling rate changed?  Seems possible to repeated flag without waiting 5 seconds.  If it was broken, it isn't anymore. Old soft deletions that were neither categorised as "helpful" or "declined" have all become "helpful".   If limits have been updated, can we get the new formula published? Not changed, as confirmed by Shog9. Cardinality of equivalence relations in $\mathbb{N}$ I came across this long proof on this site:    But I would like to know whether my direction can work.  Say we want to find the cardinality of all equivalence relations in $\mathbb{N}$. Since it is a subset of all relations in $\mathbb{N}$, I conclude it has a cardinality smaller or equal to $\aleph$. Now, define an injective function from $P(\mathbb{N})$ to the set of equivalence relations by matching each subset of $\mathbb{N}$ with the identity relation (which is an equivalence relation in $\mathbb{N}$.  Therefore the cardinality of all equivalence relations in $\mathbb{N}$ is greater or equal to $\aleph$ and using CSB we get the desired result.  Seems legit? Batch fit images into ratio with blurred background What exactly is "base ISO" and how do I find what is base ISO on my camera? If I understood correctly, base ISO is in full stop steps from the lowest possible ISO setting on my camera. For example if the lowest setting on my camera is ISO 100, than the following table would be base ISO:    100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400   While steps in between like   125, 160, 250, 320, 500, 640, 1000, 1300, 2000, 2500, 4000, 5000   would be third-stop "pulled" values, which result more noise than perhaps higher base ISO values (for example 2500 is worse than 3200).   Did I get this right or missed by a mile, what did I miss? Do non-base ISO values generate more noise than next higher base-value ISO stop? How do I find what are my base-value ISO stops (is it the lowest ISO value multiplied by 2n)? What should I do if a user posts sensitive information as part of a question or answer? I've observed several incidents where users inadvertently posted detailed, sensitive information. For example, a Server Fault user who posted a question with working login credentials to his actual production server, or the Stack Overflow user who posted actual medical records as example data for his question.   What should be the procedure for handling such cases? Reflection of sound waves from the open end of an organ pipe & relationship b/w nodes & pressure We know that standing waves are created when any wave traveling along the medium will reflect back when they reach the end. But in an open organ pipe, there is nothing to oppose the wave and reflect it back. So then how are standing waves created in such a case? In standing waves where is the pressure greater, at nodes or anti-nodes? Is there a subtle difference between "somebody" and "someone", "anybody" and "anyone"? Are there any subtle differences between "somebody" and "someone", or can they be used completely interchangeably? Similarly, can you imagine a situation in which you would prefer "anybody" to "anyone" or vice versa?
