Why couldn't have Dumbledore keep Harry with himself? I know about the charm that was on harry due to Lily's sacrifice. But if Harry had lived with Dumbledore :   Dumbledore was an extraordinary talented wizard as compared to other Magical families who could adopt Harry. He could provide excellent protection to Harry. Imagine what the boy could have become. He could have been trained for what was waiting out there. Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was still alive and he also knew  the prophecy that it was Harry only who can kill Voldemort. So he could have trained harry from the beginning.    The answer on the basis of which this was marked duplicate only talks about protection. But Dumbledore could easily provide that along with some other benefits as the one I mentioned above. And of Harry getting arrogant, I am sure Dumbledore would have looked after that.
As we know, whenever school ends, Harry is sent back to live with the Dursleys, where he suffers from abuse. He would much prefer to live with the Weasleys, and often visits there before returning to school. It stands to reason that they probably don't live that far from each other, since:   Both Harry and the Weasleys use Platform 9&frac34; to get to school Ron was able to take Harry to the Burrow in a flying car within a reasonable amount of time   It's heavily hinted at that the Weasleys are poor. However, it's not like Harry would live there permanently. Three months isn't that bad, not to mention he's pretty well-off from his parents' money. There would be little to no extra expense on the Weasleys.  The only explanation is that Dumbledore goes out of his way to ensure Harry lives with the Dursleys. If so, why is this?
Implicit 'which is', 'which are' A new study has shown that millions of pieces of junk floating in  space could be a big hazard for satellites orbiting Earth.   Is there an implicit 'which are' in front of floating in space? Why is 'which are'  not written? Minimum eigenvalue and singular value of a square matrix How to show that the relationship $\left | \lambda_{min} \right | \geq \sigma_{min}$ holds between the minimum eigenvalue and singular value of a square matrix $A \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}$? Workflow for UV orientation How to I deal with unwrapped UVs orientation?   Delete the default Cube. Add a Cylinder Edit mode and edge select the Top and the Bottom and a single connecting edge. Make them into seams UV Unwrap (standard Unwrap mode)   The unwrapped UV now shows two circles above a row of quads. I can save this and open it in an image editor and paint over those areas and get the texture to align on the cylinder back in blender.  But, the pattern(just happens to be text) that was inserted in place of the row of quads is now upside down on the model. Any attempt to flip or align just makes things worse, from upside down to mirrored or the Top/Bottom not aligning.  So my real question is how could I have known that the quads represented an upside down view of the world?  Do other blender users export UVs and mark them with arrows and colours just to see how they align on a model before actually painting for real?  I tried selecting the edges in step 3 in different orders before making them into seams and it made no difference.  I also looked at the Normals but they appear to be only Inside/Outside not Up/Down.  Blender 2.70 Formatting OGR VRT file to convert CSV to KML? I am attempting to get a nice KML for simple review of POI/geocoding from a CSV. I a using ogr2ogr and a VRT. You can see the VRT file below, with two attempts to get this right.  Basically, the issue is using ogr2ogr -f KML ... with the VRT w/o renaming results in a lot of "SimpleData" tags in the KML.   I'd like to get some CSV fields as the KML Placemark "Name" and "Description", concatenated fields, actually. -dsco NameField=RegionName option in ogr2ogr, but I don't see a way to concatenate fields into name, e.g Street, City, State..  In the .vrt below, the SrcSQL field results in no records. It does open, but with layer info. The Field tag (when not commented out) does result all records with in the new alias, but the "name" is the only field that comes through, it drops all other fields.  Is there a way to concatenate fields using ?  Of course, perhaps ogr is not capable of concatenation ...  &lt;OGRVRTDataSource&gt;     &lt;OGRVRTLayer name="roofing-poi2"&gt;         &lt;SrcDataSource&gt;roofing-poi2.csv&lt;/SrcDataSource&gt;         &lt;GeometryType&gt;wkbPoint&lt;/GeometryType&gt;         &lt;LayerSRS&gt;WGS84&lt;/LayerSRS&gt;         &lt;GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="Longitude" y="Latitude"/&gt; &lt;!--         &lt;Field src="StreetAddress" name="name" /&gt; --&gt;         &lt;SrcSQL&gt;SELECT StreetAddress as name&lt;/SrcSQL&gt;     &lt;/OGRVRTLayer&gt; &lt;/OGRVRTDataSource&gt; Ok. I was playing mcpe and I noticed that mossy cobblestone isn't in the crafting table. And I wanted to make a house that looks old. So if its possible to get mossy cobblestone without mods, how can I get it on survival? If it is possible can somebody please leave a step by step guide. Thank you. Reviewing suggested edit of own post after completing 20 reviews I've completed 20 suggested edits reviews today. Then, I came across a  and I approved it.   Then, I had a doubt that whether the review count has incremented or not, oh! it's not incrementing. System works fine.  But, take a look at review page,     The edit was already reviewed by one reviewer and then I reviewed it. As I'm the Owner of the post it's enough to approve the edit. But, the review history doesn't show the detail that I had approved it. It's misleading that only one vote of a reviewer who is neither the community user nor the OP nor the moderator, is enough.  So, what should we do in this type of situation?  Is it correct to make OP to review the suggested edit after completing daily limit?  Should we need to display/hide the OP has approved the edit in the review history? Can't install Oracle Java 8 in Ubuntu 16.04 What is the number of invertible $n\times n$ matrices in $\operatorname{GL}_n(F)$? $F$ is a finite field of order $q$. What is the size of $\operatorname{GL}_n(F)$ ?  I am reading Dummit and Foote "Abstract Algebra".  The following formula is given:  $(q^n - 1)(q^n - q)\cdots(q^n - q^{n-1})$.  The case for $n = 1$ is trivial.  I understand that for $n = 2$  the first row of the matrix can be any ordered pair of field elements except for $0,0$. and the second row can be any ordered pair of field elements that is not a multiple of the first row.  So for $n = 2$  there are $(q^n - 1)(q^n - q)$ invertible matrices.  For $n\geq 3$, I cannot seem to understand why  the formula works.  I have looked at Sloane's OEIS A002884.  I have also constructed and stared at a list of all $168$ $3\times 3$ invertible matrices over $GF(2)$.  I would most appreciate a concrete and detailed explanation of how say $(2^3 - 1)(2^3 - 2)(2^3 - 2^2)$ counts these $168$ matrices. Derangements with repetitive numbers I have a very simple problem.  Lets assume that I have a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. I start drawing the top card always and when the card matches its rank I lose. J=11 Q=12 K=13.  If there were only 13 cards I could easily use the $\ \frac{!n}{n!}$ for derangements in order to solve this. The problem is that there are 52 cards so when I pass 13 I start from 1 again so I don't know what is the probability to win. Example of the game     1st card: 4 - Continue   2nd Card: A - continue   3rd Card: K - Continue   4th Card: K - Continue   5th Card: 6 - Continue   6th Card: 9 - Continue   7th Card: 10 - Continue   8th Card: A - Continue   9th Card: J - Continue   10th Card: 3 - Continue   11th Card: 2 - Continue   12th Card: 8 - Continue   13th Card: A - Continue   1st card: 5 - Continue   2nd Card 2 LOSE   So actually I have to count from 1 to 13 4 times and if I draw all 52 cards then I win. What's the probability? How do you make a torus 'telescope' open? What voltage is a 3-LED light from a LED-TV? I have some "NDV rev1.1 4248 back lights" from a television.   There is a print that sais "94V" on the strip, and on the wire supplying the strips it said "96V".   Every strip has 9x buttons which have 3 LED's in them. So i devided 94 by 9 and figured that every button should have 10.4V roughly, which makes sense, because a white LED is normally 3.5 volts.  I have a 12v Lithium battery which measured 11.1V so i tested one of the LED's with it and it lasted less than one second.   Are the LED's are rated for 10.4V roughly and not more? As stated above, I can't connect to my home wi-fi with natty but can with Windows 7. The strange thing is I that I have gotten it to connect to other password protected networks with natty, it's just mine that it dosn't like.   I am using a WPA2 pass-code with AES Encryption and all other devises work fine on my network. Laptop used is a Dell Latitude D430. Korea: Visa required to go to the city while in transit in Seoul for a Philippine citizen? Hi I'm traveling to Uzbekistan and have 12 hours layover in Seoul via Korean Airlines.

Series of binomial coefficients: $\sum\limits_{n=k}^{\infty}{\binom nk}x^n=\frac{x^k}{(1-x)^{k+1}}$ Any hint to prove this? I tried with properties of binomial coefficient but I can't get anything. $$\sum_{n=k}^{\infty}{{n}\choose{k}}x^n=\dfrac{x^k}{(1-x)^{k+1}}$$ Will installing Ubuntu using the "erase entire disk" option remove and erase all currently existing partitions? I'm considering ditching Windows 8 and doing a fully clean install of Ubuntu. However, I'm concerned because my computer came with a built-in 16 GB recovery partition that would need to be erased as well.   If I pick the "erase entire disk" option during installation, will it wipe out this recovery partition too? What's a good word for a person, or a state, when a person is constantly waiting for life to get good, but does nothing to actually make it happen I've written a song about people who constantly wait for something good to happen to them and am looking for a word to describe this state/paradox/condition.   The song is about people who expect life to get better for no reason, talk about moving to a bigger city or a different place as if that would magically make them rich, famous and happy, and keep talking about how they are going to do this or that, but never do it. I was under the impression that there's a psychological term for this state, but can't google it up, so I probably made it up.  This is essentially a song about myself, I keep talking about how I love to make music, or shoot videos, but I never actually produce anything, yet it's the only thing I can think of. When it comes to the moment to take action – I just stay at home watching tv shows.  I know it's a broad question and list of topics, but I guess I'm looking for a word that describes this state – of doing NOTHING. I want to use input from a user as a regex pattern for a search over some text.  It works, but how I can handle cases where user puts characters that have meaning in regex? For example, the user wants to search for Word (s): regex engine will take the (s) as a group.  I want it to treat it like a string &quot;(s)&quot; .  I can run replace on user input and replace the ( with \( and the ) with \) but the problem is I will need to do replace for every possible regex symbol. Do you know some better way ? How do I fix a "Problem with MergeList" or "status file could not be parsed" error when trying to do an update? Can anyone recommend a cheap/free utility that can do this without very much effort?  My preference is that it would be really easy.    Boot into Windows Pick drive to move Pick target drive It copies everything over, and reboots to the correct partition. I just refreshed the [iphone]-tag-site, and I'm seeing all kinds of questions with what appears to be a grey overlay (see image). What is this for/why am I seeing this? I have never seen anything like this before..
