I am sure that, I am the only real person who is living in this world and all you all just illusion.  My brain works in two ways it creates the world and makes me feel it i.e it only generates both input and output stimulus . Whatever I think in my brain,it will be created outside the world but in such a way I don't realize it.And even matter and energy can be created through my brain but I am not aware of it..  So nobody is real in this world except me.  Please note :to explain "I am like semi-god I can create anything and might be I am not aware of it "thats why this question arised ...it is nothing to do with dreams/matrix .. So how do I make realize all of you that you are just a illusion and created by me?
While I am familiar with Descartes and the oft-quoted idea, I think therefore I am, I am not familiar with any philosophy that actively sought to rationalize that anybody else exists.  Are there philosophers who analyzed this question? Or is it taken for granted that it is (im)possible for anybody to validate their own existence to somebody else?
Detect browser language in Rails This girl that I'm friends with and have actually seen in person before, keeps posting [on social media] that she "loves when the transfer goes through" and gets $2000-$6000 for free quite often. She said you can make up to $6500 a day. She is not very smart and barely spells correctly. She keeps saying that all she is doing is "transfers" and that's it. So many of my friends are feeding into this crap. So I asked her what it is. She basically said "it's legit" and asked me for my bank username and password so she could see how much money to deposit into my account. I said no way and left it at that. She also said she is not stealing or doing anything illegal. She is getting her friends free money and I think they're naive. What is she actually doing? Is it illegal? I am sure she is incapable of doing crazy money wiring to different countries.   Thank you everyone for answering my question. I am not stupid, I did not give her my information. I knew she was up to something illegal, so thank you for giving me some input on what exactly she is doing. I submitted an anonymous tip to my local sheriff's department. I'm hoping they see it and pursue it, or forward it to the right authorities I.e the FBI or something. Why isn't this sudo mv operation with wildcard working? How can I reduce the ever-increasing time to push a subtree? Math contest integer triplet problem: $x + y + z + xy + yz + xz = xyz − 1$ Can druids Wild Shape into creatures other than beasts? Under Wild Shape it says "assume the shape of a beast" you have seen before. Does this mean they can only transform into creatures that have the beast type, such as bear, wolf, crocodile, etc.? Or can they turn into things with other types, like dragon, monstrosity, humanoid, fiend, etc.? Question I use pgfplots with the ultra thick option ans without explicitly giving the domain for the y-axis.

Prove that if $a&gt;0$ then $1+a^9 \leq \frac{1}{a}+a^{10} $.   Using the fact that $a \gt 0$, multiply by $a$ on both sides and get everything to one side we have; $a^{11}-a^{10}-a+1 \geq 0$. By factoring $(a^{10}-1)(a-1) \geq 0 $.  I am not sure how to proceed any further. $|a_{n+1}-a_n| \leq \frac{1}{2} |a_{n}-a_{n-1}|$. I'm trying to show that $(a_n)$ is convergent by showing that $(a_n)$ is Cauchy.  let $|a_2 - a_1 |  =x$.   $|a_3-a_2| \leq \frac{1}{2}x$  $|a_4-a_3| \leq \frac{1}{2}|a_3-a_2|\leq \frac{1}{4}x$  In general, for every $n$:  $|a_{n+1}-a_n| \le \frac {1}{2^{n-1}}x$  Let $\epsilon &gt;0$  for every $m,n &gt; 0 $, say $m&gt;n$ the following holds:  $$|a_m-a_n| = |a_m-a_{m-1} + a_{m-1} - a_{m-2} \dots a_{n+1}- a_n| \le$$  $$|a_m-a_{m-1}| + |a_{m-1} - a_{m-2}| + \dots |a_{n+1}-a_n| \leq \frac{x}{2^{m-2}} + \frac{x}{2^{m-3}} + \dots + \frac{x }{2^{n-1}}$$.  I can say that for big enough $n,m$, $|a_m-a_n|&lt;\epsilon$ and therefore, this sequence is Cauchy? It sounds not good enough to me yet I don't know what else to do here. Is "performance" singular or also plural? Name for categorical product inside a monoid If a monoid is a category with a single object, is there a "monoid-theoretical" concept that the categorical product translates to? As an analogue, in a poset the product translates to the notion of meet (and the coproduct to its dual, the join).  Just by unwinding the definition one can see that this boils down to the existence of two monoid elements $p_1$ and $p_2$ such that for every $x$ and $y$ in the monoid there's a unique element $\langle x,y \rangle$ that factors as $x = p_1\langle x,y \rangle$ and $y = p_2\langle x,y \rangle$; the question is whether the concept is a known and/or useful one.  Incidentally, if the monoid in question is a group then the existence of a product makes the whole thing collapse into the trivial group; this might or not hint that the concept I'm looking for is "too boring" to have a name. In fact it suffices for one of the projections to be right cancellable, or for the pair $\langle x,x\rangle$ to be left cancellable for some $x$, to make the whole thing collapse. Pass php variables to js without drupal behaviour I stand on the following tricky situation:  I have a node with geofield coordinates attached. I am constructing an array of points. Something like:  Array ( [86] =&gt; Array     (         [0] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 39.1641410477                 [lon] =&gt; -2.633972168             )          [1] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 41.0420738489                 [lon] =&gt; -2.633972168             )          [2] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 41.0420738489                 [lon] =&gt; 1.2524414063             )          [3] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 39.1641410477                 [lon] =&gt; 1.2524414063             )         [4] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 39.1641410477                 [lon] =&gt; -2.633972168             )     )  [85] =&gt; Array     (         [0] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 39.1641410477                 [lon] =&gt; -2.633972168             )          [1] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 41.0420738489                 [lon] =&gt; -2.633972168             )          [2] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 41.0420738489                 [lon] =&gt; 1.2524414063             )          [3] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 39.1641410477                 [lon] =&gt; 1.2524414063             )         [4] =&gt; Array             (                 [lat] =&gt; 39.1641410477                 [lon] =&gt; -2.633972168             )     ) )   I want to pass this to my-googlemaps.js in order to be used by google's init map Google map is defined as:  my-map:   header: true js:   js/my-googlemaps.js: { }   https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=my_key&amp;callback=initMap: {type: external, attributes: {defer: true,async: true}} dependencies:   - core/drupal   - core/drupalSettings  my-googlemaps.js:   console.log(Drupal.settings);   function initMap() {}   This way I get Drupal.settings undefined, which makes sense I guess. On the other hanve if I place initMap into a behavior It can not be seen as a callback as defined in googleapis.com before.  Has anyone stumbled with this before? Any idea how to attack the problem? Solve $x^2+5x+6 \equiv 0 \pmod{\!11\cdot 17}$ Solve $x^2+5x+6 \equiv 187 \mod 187$ Solution $$x^2+5x+6 \equiv 187 \mod 187$$ $$ (x+\frac{5}{2})^2 \equiv \frac{1}{4}$$ $$ 4(x+\frac{5}{2})^2 \equiv 1$$ $$ y:= x+\frac{5}{2} $$ $$ 4y^2 \equiv 1 \mod 11 \wedge 4y^2 \equiv 1 \mod 17  $$ $$ ( 2y \equiv 1 \mod 11 \vee 2y \equiv 10 \mod 11 ) \wedge ( 2y \equiv 1 \mod 17  \vee 2y \equiv 13 \mod 17)  $$ $$ ( y \equiv 6 \mod 11 \vee y \equiv 5 \mod 11 ) \wedge ( y \equiv 9 \mod 17  \vee y \equiv 15 \mod 17)  $$ Combining that from CRT I got: $$ y \in \left\{49, 60,83,94 \right\} $$ and for example: $$ x+\frac{5}{2}  \equiv 94 \mod 187$$ $$ 2x  \equiv 183 \mod 187$$ some calculus and get... $$x \equiv 185 $$ And the same thing for each other case. Question Is there any faster (or smarter) way to solve equations like that? Are undead and creatures immune to charm excluded from the HP count of Sleep? From the spell description:     Sleep (...) Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points,(...) Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature   to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell. (PH p.276)   Now, to build the ascending order of their current hitpoints, the spell instructs to count everyone in area of effect, but only ignore unconscous creatures. Then later on it says that Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren't affected.  Are those two latter kinds of creatures excluded from the roll of current HP by default? Following the "if they were it would say so" philosophy of Sage Advice, it doesn't seem so to me. Can I pack a cardboard box as checked luggage? As mentioned in , I'm planning on traveling with a desktop computer as checked baggage. After considering the options, I've decided to take it in its original cardboard box (used for shipping), making sure to pad everything inside very well.  What should I do to securely prepare the box before checking it in? Some suggestions others have given me so far:   Spray paint the box black so it's not obvious there's a computer inside. Wrap the entire box with duct tape to reinforce it. Use tape to seal the "hand holes" on either side used for carrying the box. Run packing tape around all the edges to reinforce the box. Convergence of the $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}n^3b_n^3$ where $b_n=\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(t)\sin (nt)\ dt$. My attempt at value initialization is interpreted as a function declaration, and why doesn't A a(()); solve it? FM transmitter design? I stumbled across a relatively simple FM radio transmitter online.    Credit:   I wanted to understand how it works (it is called "super simple" on the website), but several hours I have nothing but a vague understanding.   I believe R2, L1, C3 form an oscillator, and then the transistor Q1 is used to modulate the signal. C1 would just be used to remove any DC offset. However, this leaves R1, C2, C4, C5, and R3 and,  for these components,  I have no clue what they do.   Could someone please explain how this "super simple" transmitter works? Form of the Classical EM Lagrangian So I know that for an electromagnetic field in a vacuum the Lagrangian is $$\mathcal L=-\frac 1 4 F^{\mu\nu} F_{\mu\nu},$$ the standard model tells me this. What I want to know is if there is an elementary argument (based on symmetry perhaps) as to why it has this form. I have done some searching/reading on this, but have only ever found authors jumping straight to the expression and sometimes saying something to the effect that it is the "simplest possible".
