We all know that the sky is blue. Grass is green. Blood is red.  But, how do we know that everyone sees these colours more or less the same? How does one know that my green isn't your red and vice versa? In other words: if I would see what someone else sees, would I see the same colours, or could it all be completely different? Note that I'm talking about the perception of colours, not the distinction of colours themselves.
If I would show someone a yellow object and ask them, "is this object yellow?" That person would say "yes".  But I could never know if my perception of the color yellow is the same as that other person's. Because he or she could actually be seeing, what I know to be the color green. But then tells me that its the color yellow because that has been taught to him or her from young age.  So how can you test if people are really seeing the same color?

Change ViewPager animation duration when sliding programmatically Mboxcox, interpreting difficult regressions Mboxcox in Stata suggests transforming my variables using a power of 0.1 for the independent variable, and 0.4 for the dependent variable.  I have run the model, and it fixes problems associated with the assumptions of OLS. But certainly, it complicates matters in terms of interpretations.  Please outline possible interpretations and solutions.  Dependent variable is in millions of dollars, and independent variables are number of years.  and a number of dummies which do not require transformation. JavaScript RegExp objects I try to write a simple Markdown parser in JavaScript. Therefore I want to check for the [link content][link id] syntax. I use the following code:  data = data.replace( /\[(.*?)\][ ]*\[([0-9]+)\]/g, '&lt;a href="$2"&gt;$1&lt;/a&gt;' );   It works well, but now I want to do this with a RegExp object. So I set up the following bit of code:  var r = new RegExp( '\[(.*?)\][ ]*\[([0-9]+)\]', 'g' ); data = data.replace( r, '&lt;a href="$2"&gt;$1&lt;/a&gt;' );   But it doesn't work. It even says that my regular expression (which works since the first example does a good job) is invalid:     unmatched ) in regular expression   I think it must have to do with some RegExp-object peculiarities I am not aware of. What am I doing wrong and how can the problem be solved? I am an Australian currently on a Netherlands working holiday visa that ends in May next year. I would like to know if when my visa ends I then get another 90 days just as a regular tourist visa as I would like to do some more travel within Europe when my visa ends before going home to Australia. MSO Review Queue Privileges are Misleading How to not have an equation in the first line using the align environment? Is there a fast way (without looping over all edges/faces/verts) using ops.mesh or bmesh to get the lists of indices associated with mesh islands as shown below? These islands are part of one mesh but are disjoint from each other.    I know how to select the boundaries by running the operator Select boundary Loop or calling bpy.ops.mesh.region_to_loop() but can't find any API calls to return the vert/edge/face indices associated with the individual islands. Why $\sqrt{-1 \cdot {-1}} \neq \sqrt{-1}^2$? I know there must be something unmathematical in the following but I don't know where it is: \begin{align} \sqrt{-1} &amp;= i \\\\\ \frac1{\sqrt{-1}} &amp;= \frac1i \\\\  \frac{\sqrt1}{\sqrt{-1}} &amp;= \frac1i \\\\  \sqrt{\frac1{-1}} &amp;= \frac1i \\\\  \sqrt{\frac{-1}1} &amp;= \frac1i \\\\  \sqrt{-1} &amp;= \frac1i \\\\  i &amp;= \frac1i \\\\  i^2 &amp;= 1 \\\\  -1 &amp;= 1 \quad !!? \end{align} If every compact set is closed, then is the space Hausdorff? Problem with glossary I am copying the very first piece of code from  in order to create a glossary. While I get no problem in the compilation I do not get the "glossary part" that appears in the example. I literally copy paste.  Also, I want to create a document that only consists of a glossary of various terms. That is to put everything in alphabetical order (with the possibility to include references as well). How could I possibly do this? I tried some itemize options with alphabetical order but does not look that good. Erlang server, Java client - TCP messages get split? Meaning of tilde-greater-than (~>) in version requirement? I have an enum construct like this:  public enum EnumDisplayStatus {     None    = 1,     Visible = 2,     Hidden  = 3,     MarkedForDeletion = 4 }   In my database, the enumerations are referenced by value. My question is, how can I turn the number representation of the enum back to the string name.   For example, given 2 the result should be Visible. Map display not filling window in QGIS on Mac? In this screenshot of QGIS, you can see that the map is not filling the window. I have tried resizing the window in various ways.   Am I missing something obvious, or is this a bug?

Thanks how to hide files from package explorer Adjective for "terrified yet calm and capable" What is an adjective to describe the duality of a first responder (such as an EMT responding to a terrorist attack) who is terrified for the wounded, yet simultaneously calm, detached, and capable enough to give aid? Universe being flat and why we can't see or access the space "behind" our universe plane? I'm a layman, but i watched some intereting videos about big bang on youtube[michio kaku, hawking this kind of things, not some crackpots :)]   I described everything on my picture:     So is there any possibility to see that inner side, for example, by creating wormhole, or entering new dimension? Or i get something wrong, on the way, and my model is totally wrong?  And another question. I heard that even if you would fly a ship across the universe you would eventually end in the place where you started, because we live in a 3d space that is defined on a surface of big sphere. But why a big sphere? Universe might be a big mobius strip, and the same principle of ending at start will apply. Is it possible?  Thanks in advance, and please don't bash me for silly questions. Im just curious, but i don't have any degree in physics. Im also not an english native speaker. How to obtain the sum of the following series? $\sum_{n=1}^\infty{\frac{n^2}{2^n}}$ It seems that I'm missing something about this.  First of all, the series is convergent: $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{2^{-n-1} (n+1)^2}{2^{-n} n^2}=\frac{1}{2}$ (ratio test)  What I tried to do is to find a limit of a partial sum $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}S_n$ as follows: $S_n=\frac{\frac{1}{6} n (n+1) (2 n+1)}{\frac{1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n}{2 \left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right)}}$. Still, the limit is $\infty$ and I'm clearly doing something wrong. Suppose $n$ divides $3^n + 4^n$. Show that $7$ divides $n$. Suppose $n \geq 2$ and $n$ is a divisor of $3^n + 4^n$. Prove that $7$ is a divisor of $n$.  My work so far:  I had a hypothesis that if $n| 3^n + 4^n$, then $n = 7^k$ for some $k\in\mathbb{N}$. But this is not necessarily so. Take $n = 7⋅379$, where $3^7 + 4^7 = 7^2⋅379$. Then, $3^7+4^7$ divides $3^n + 4^n$, and since $n$ divides $3^7+4^7$, we must have $n|3^n+4^n$.
