When you check in luggage on a flight you get a receipt and also there is a tag dangling from your luggage. Assuming that you received your luggage at your destination, what reasons are there to not throw away the tag and its receipt immediately (maybe even in the baggage claim area)?
Will be flying with easy jet and was wondering for retuning flights the old luggage tag we have on are suitcase. should we take them off before arriving at the airport to return home or leave it as the person will do it for us anyways? Im guessing even at self check in they will have someone who will make sure that old tags are taken off and that the new one is correctly done etc?
Probability of an even number of sixes We throw a fair die $n$ times, show that the probability that there are an even number of sixes is $\frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n]$. For the purpose of this question, 0 is even.   I tried doing this problem with induction, but I have problem with induction so I was wondering if my solution was correct:   The base case: For $n=0$, our formula gives us $\frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^0] =1$. This is true, because if we throw the die zero times, we always get zero sixes.  Suppose it's true for $n=k$. Then the odds of an even number of sixes is $\frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n]$, and thus the odds of an odd number of sixes is $1 - \frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n]$.    For $n=k+1$, there are two ways the number of sixes are even:  a. The number of sixes for $n=k$ was even, and we do not throw a six for $n=k+1$: $ \frac{5}{6} \cdot  \frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n]$  b. The number of sixes for $n=k$ was odd, and we throw a six for $n=k+1$: $\frac{1}{6}(1 - \frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n])$  So the probability $p$ for an even number of sixes at $n=k+1$ is $ \frac{5}{6} \cdot  \frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n] + \frac{1}{6}(1 - \frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n])$  I have two questions   How do I get from $ \frac{5}{6} \cdot  \frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n] + \frac{1}{6}(1 - \frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n])$ to $\frac{1}{2}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n]$? I seem to have done something wrong, I can't get the algebra correct, I get $p = \frac{1}{3}[1+(\frac{2}{3})^n] + \dfrac{1}{6}$ Other than that, is my use of induction correct? Is it rigorous enough to prove the formula? I have a file, which was encrypted with AES-128 in ECB mode. I know the format of the original file and know that all files in this format have the same headers. So, I have an encrypted block and the original block.  Can I get the encryption key, using this information? I use Lasso logistic regression in order to identify a smaller subset of important variables. I start with N=51 (28/23) and 32 predictors.   So far it looks pretty promising, because I can identify four important predictors in my optimal model.   Now I would like to take those four predictors and examine them along with some control variables in a standard logistic regression.   My question is, does that analysis strategy make sense? Is there a better way to include controls or other variables that might be interesting?  For a better understanding:   Identify important variables via Lasso logistic regression Do further analysis including identified predictors and other control variables using standard logistic regression (using AIC to check model fit) Layover at Dusseldorf and Frankfurt, category A or B visa? I am a Indian citizen in the United States on a F-1 visa.  For the summer break, I am traveling (round-trip) from Chicago to New Delhi via Dusseldorf-Frankfurt by Lufthansa airlines. My onward Journey would be on July - 8 and return Journey on Aug - 11.  My layover will be of 1 hour 10 mins in Frankfurt and 3 hours in Dusseldorf.  I would like to know if I require Category A or Category B Visa. If not, what type of visa do I require for the Schengen visa for my transit. How I can apply for the same?  I tried to find slots in German consulate but all slots are full before my departure date. If I don't get the Schengen visa, I cannot travel and will loose all the fare (since my ticket is a non-refundable ticket). Is there any other way I can tackle this situation. Recently I saw a widget on the Stack Overflow website which says Stack&nbsp;Overflow now has its own currency called "unicoins". According to this widget, a user can earn reputation, customize Stack Overflow by changing its colors and the user can also remove the vote down button from their questions and answers by spending "unicoins".  This widget does not look real, because this is out of standard of the Stack Overflow website.  Also today is 1st April.

For PhD applications, I have mentioned that I am interested in some research areas. Besides, I am thinking about mentioning some professors' names, so that it shows I have read their websites and I am not just sending out generic statements applicable to many schools.  But is it good to mention some professors' names in the statement of purpose, if I don't know them personally? In what cases is it good, and in what cases it isn't?  For example, is it good to only mention    those whose research directions are aligned with my research interests, or/and those whose books or notes I have heard of, or better, might have read some parts of, or/and those who are already established and famous (such as having certain titles), or/and those that are directing the PhD graduate programs, or/and those that are heads of the departments?    What will other professors who are not mentioned think? How will you do, if it were you?

I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server (7.5 x86_64). I have OpenSSH version 7.4. I was asked to upgrade it to a later version for security reasons: Nessus states that . However the Red Hat software and downloads does not have the latest package RPM.  I found some clues on where to get the latest package for OpenSSH. I found , however, I do not know on how to upgrade it and trust this website. I do not want the SSH and other configuration to be modified by the ugrade.  I did find links but however they are not useful, for example .  I would like to know how to upgrade OpenSSH without using yum. Could one fire a bullet with sufficient speed to leave the Earth? If HTML, CSS, and Javascript are client-side, why are they components of a PHP file? Can regular expressions be used to match nested patterns? Is it possible to write a regular expression that matches a nested pattern that occurs an unknown number of times? For example, can a regular expression match an opening and closing brace when there are an unknown number of open/close braces nested within the outer braces?  For example:  public MyMethod() {   if (test)   {     // More { }   }    // More { } } // End   Should match:  {   if (test)   {     // More { }   }    // More { } } I own a notebook running Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity DE that does not have any keyboard LEDs to indicate NUM-Lock or CAPS-Lock states.  It would be useful for me to see them anyway, ideally through an indicator in Unity's panel.   Please note that I only want to see the states of NUM-Lock, CAPS-Lock and optionally Scroll-Lock. I do not want to see whether any other modifier keys like Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Super etc. are currently pressed. I only want a replacement for my missing LEDs.  Are there any working indicators available?    I already have read , but it does not suit my needs. indicator-xkbmod only displays a wrong icon but does not react on keyboard NUM-/CAPS-Lock status changes, kbstate is for KDE only and key-mon does not show the NUM-/CAPS-Lock states but indicates key presses to modifier keys.
