my girlfriend's location history show her places on different days that she swears she had not been to. I s this info accurate
I have a major problem that I hope someone can help with. On my Google Maps feature under my Location History it shows a location that I was never at at any point, but when my wife happened to see that location she doesn't believe me that the GPS could be wrong and pinpoint that location if I was never there.  I was first wondering myself how could that could be possible if I was never there or my phone was never at that location that was 35 miles away from me and second is there any way I could prove the GPS being wrong? Can I contact Google Maps and can they give an official printout of that certain day and every location I was? I really need to prove my honesty to her and hope there is a way.
Why is my find not recursive? I am running the following command, but it is not performed recursively:  find . -name *.java   I know there are java files further down in the current directory but it is performing the find on the current directory only. I am using OS X, 10.9. Considering this code, can I be absolutely sure that the finally block always executes, no matter what something() is?  try {       something();       return success;   }   catch (Exception e) {        return failure;   }   finally {       System.out.println("I don't know if this will get printed out"); } linq: order by random Is there an algorithm to decide if a symlink loops? Unix systems usually just error out if they are confronted with a path that contains a symlink loop or just too many symlinks, because they have a limit to the number of symlinks they will traverse in one path lookup. But is there a way to actually decide if a given path resolves to something or contains a loop, even if it contains more links than a unix is willing to follow? Or is this a formally undecidable problem? And if it can be decided, can it be decided in a reasonable amount of time/memory (e.g. without having to visit all files on a filesystem)?  Some examples:  a/b/c/d where a/b is a symlink to ../e and e is a symlink to f and f is a symlink to a/b  a/b/c/d where a/b/c is a symlink to ../c  a/b/c/d where a/b/c is a symlink to ../c/d  a/b/c/d where a/b/c is a symlink to /a/b/e where a/b/e is a symlink to /a/b/f where a/b/f is a symlink to /a/b/g   Edit:  To clarify, I am not asking about finding loops in the file system, I am asking about a decision algorithm that decides of a given path whether it resolves to a definite file/directory or whether it does not resolve at all. For example in the following system, there is a loop, but the given path still resolves fine:  / -- a -- b where b is a symlink to /a   This directory tree clearly has a cycle, but the path a/b/b/b/b/b still resolves fine to /a. Evolution of the (phenotypic) facial features of the indigenous people of (west/central) Africa I am not even remotely an expert in this field; I just got curious, so help me.   First of all, let us remove all human sentimental attributes from this question (such as connotations of  or emotional reactions thereof) and ask it from a purely scientific point of view. The typical facial feature of a West/Central African person (the so-called ) exhibits a wide nose, a lack of nasal bridge projection (similar to many Asian noses) and a prognathous skull shape that resembles more closely to our ancestor Homo Heidelbergensis than many other indigenous phenotypes from other parts of the world do.  I agree that this claim sounds anecdotal, and is certainly not true of all Africans (for example, Ethiopians), but one cannot dismiss it simply on grounds of ethical policing. I cannot help but notice that many of my African friends remind me of our shared ancestry (with no disrespect meant whatsoever), as is clear from the photographs below, one of a supposed Homo Heidelbergensis and one of a random African Homo Sapiens of today.     My question is the following. What is the reason behind this seeming resemblance? Is this appearance an illusion and possibly a construct of a prejudiced mind, or does this have a valid scientific answer? For example, are most Africans closer to our ancestors than the rest of humanity is? How does evolution answer this question?  Thank you for your help. Some publications capitalize He, Him, etc., when referring to a god.    What is this practice called? 'Proper noun' is rather generic. How do I set Windows to boot as the default in the boot loader? How can I change the language for dictation on the fly? With English not being my first language, I usually need support for at least two languages when using features like auto-correct and dictation.  Is it possible to toggle the language which is used for dictation via a shortcut?  As of now, I always have to manually navigate through the menus in the System Preferences which if far from convenient. I've tried to see if there are any pre-defined actions in Automator, but found none. Until I went to army, I (had been / used to be / was ) a introverted person. - which one is right? Until I went into the army, I (had been / used to be / was ) an introverted person. And after I I finished army service, I became more confident.   I think all of these are possible.  As for had been, I'm referring to the state of me being introverted before the accident that happened in the past. So, I think I can use had been.  And at the same time I feel I can use used to be and was.. If I don't want to emphasize the time gap between two accident, I feel I don't need to use past perfect. So I think this problem depends on how I'm going to say something.   which one is preferable? and what is the difference?

Is there a way to select the children of a parent object? 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.

I am trying to run a buffer tool as part of script that I will both use as a standalone script and import into ArcToolbox. I'm just wondering, if I use GetParameterAsText for the buffer distance, how do I set the linear units? E.g. I want it preset so they only have to type 300 and the script takes that to be meters? Here is what I have so far:  # Buffer the Thames feature class to create the Flood Risk Area in_features = "Thames" out_feature_class = "Flood_R_A" # Run the Buffer Tool arcpy.Buffer_analysis (in_features, out_feature_class, arcpy.GetParameterAsText(5),    "FULL", "ROUND", "ALL", "") Background  Suppose we have an Ordinary Least Squares model where we have $k$ coefficients in our regression model, $$\mathbf{y}=\mathbf{X}\mathbf{\beta} + \mathbf{\epsilon}$$  where $\mathbf{\beta}$ is an $(k\times1)$ vector of coefficients, $\mathbf{X}$ is the design matrix defined by  $$\mathbf{X} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 &amp; x_{11} &amp; x_{12} &amp; \dots &amp; x_{1\;(k-1)} \\ 1 &amp; x_{21} &amp; \dots  &amp;       &amp;   \vdots \\ \vdots &amp;   &amp; \ddots &amp;       &amp;   \vdots \\ 1 &amp; x_{n1} &amp; \dots  &amp; \dots &amp;   x_{n\;(k-1)}     \end{pmatrix}$$ and the errors are IID normal,  $$\mathbf{\epsilon} \sim \mathcal{N}\left(\mathbf{0},\sigma^2 \mathbf{I}\right) \;.$$  We minimize the sum-of-squared-errors by setting our estimates for $\mathbf{\beta}$ to be $$\mathbf{\hat{\beta}}= (\mathbf{X^T X})^{-1}\mathbf{X}^T \mathbf{y}\;. $$   An unbiased estimator of $\sigma^2$ is  $$s^2 = \frac{\left\Vert \mathbf{y}-\mathbf{\hat{y}}\right\Vert ^2}{n-p}$$ where $\mathbf{\hat{y}} \equiv \mathbf{X} \mathbf{\hat{\beta}}$ ().

Question  How can I prove that for $\hat\beta_i$, $$\frac{\hat{\beta}_i - \beta_i} {s_{\hat{\beta}_i}} \sim t_{n-k}$$ where $t_{n-k}$ is a t-distribution with $(n-k)$ degrees of freedom, and the standard error of $\hat{\beta}_i$ is estimated by $s_{\hat{\beta}_i} = s\sqrt{c_{ii}}$.    My attempts  I know that for $n$ random variables sampled from $x\sim\mathcal{N}\left(\mu, \sigma^2\right)$, you can show that  $$\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}} \sim t_{n-1} $$ by rewriting the LHS as $$\frac{ \left(\frac{\bar x - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\right)  }   {\sqrt{s^2/\sigma^2}}$$ and realizing that the numertor is a standard normal distribution, and the denominator is square root of a Chi-square distribution with df=(n-1) and divided by (n-1) ().  And therefore it follows a t-distribution with df=(n-1) ().  I was unable to extend this proof to my question...  Any ideas?  I'm aware of , but they don't explicitly prove it, they just give a rule of thumb, saying "each predictor costs you a degree of freedom". Sum of two closed sets in $\mathbb R$ is closed?
