A classmate and I were practicing speaking where he used a saying &quot;the early bird catches the worm&quot;, I did hear this idiom though I didn't know where it originated, so I asked  Do you know what country it originates from?  Is this sentence clear and natural? Should have I said it like this?  Do you know which country it originates from?
I am confused with the grammar here. Which is grammatically correct?       At which time will you call me?     At what time will you call me?    And why?

I have found that the question I want to ask someone had asked, here is the website:    Here is my question: Why $\dim(\hom(V,W))=\dim V * \dim W $?    Thanks for explanation~! Clarification on Rayleigh scattering causing various sky colors (I know Rayleigh scattering isn't the only reason why the sky is blue but to simplify the question lets focus on that)  The commonly stated reason for why the sky is blue is that smaller wavelengths are scattered more easily off the molecules in the air. During the day, because the blue light is scattered more, the sky is illuminated more with that blue light and more reaches your eyes. However, during sunsets and sunrises, the light from the sun must travel a longer distance. The explanation I have found is that the blue light is scattered away and more of the longer wavelength reds and greens are available to reach your eyes to get those warmer colors, (red and green of course mixing to get yellows).   My question is that it seems like these explanations are conflicting. If the light at sunsets and sunrises travels more distance, why won't the blue light be scattered even more and thus illuminate the sky with blue light more than in the daylight? It confuses me that in one case the scattering of blue light causes the sky to be blue but then at sunset the scattering eliminates this color. Could I get some explanation on this? Preserve bash history in multiple terminal windows I consistently have more than one terminal open. Anywhere from two to ten, doing various bits and bobs. Now let's say I restart and open up another set of terminals. Some remember certain things, some forget.  I want a history that:   Remembers everything from every terminal Is instantly accessible from every terminal (eg if I ls in one, switch to another already-running terminal and then press up, ls shows up) Doesn't forget command if there are spaces at the front of the command.   Anything I can do to make bash work more like that? Keyboard backlight not working on an Asus N56V See .

This isn't about encouraging people to comment and is more about gathering metrics.  I'd like to see a feature whereby people who are downvoted get some better feedback on why they were downvoted, especially given that people rarely leave comments in practice.  So my suggestion is that when user clicks on the downvote, they are prompted to pick from a short list (No more than 5) of common reasons. It would be a popup that replaces the existing "Please consider adding a comment" box.  The user receiving the downvote would see how many people downvoted them for each reason, but not who did it. It would significantly address the issue of people being too lazy to comment or not wanting to comment (for fear of retaliation or any other reason) while helping to ensure the user gets useful feedback.  Perhaps the downvote could also be weighted based on whether or not a reason is picked.  For questions the list might look something like:   Not a question Not relevant to the subject area Trivial question with no research effort Poorly asked question Other   And for answers, this might be:   Nonconstructive or not an answer Incorrect or dangerous answer Poor explanation Doesn't answer the original question Other When I install Selenium I get the following error:  Shubham@Shubham-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~$ sudo apt-get update     Get:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease [107 kB]     Hit:2 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease                            Hit:3 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease                          Get:4 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease [109 kB]     Get:5 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease [107 kB]       Fetched 323 kB in 8s (38.6 kB/s)                                                    Reading package lists...

How to multiply a BigDecimal by an integer in Java Already awarded bounty refunded on question migration? In March 2011 I offered a 500 bounty on one of my StackOverflow questions () and awarded it to Filip de Vos.

Is this a bug? Definitely doesn't seem fair or correct to me. The question still shows up in both our bounty tabs despite the migration. I would have hoped that the previously awarded bounty reputation points could still be honoured in this situation. How many "super imaginary" numbers are there? How many "super imaginary" numbers are there? Numbers like $i$? I always wanted to come up with a number like $i$ but it seemed like it was impossible, until I thought about the relation of $i$ and rotation, but what about hyperbolic rotation? Like we have a complex number $$ z = a + bi $$ can describe a matrix $$ \begin{bmatrix} a &amp; -b \\ b &amp; a\end{bmatrix} $$ You can "discover" $i$ by doing (which is used for another discovery) $$ \begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} c &amp; -d \\ d &amp; c\end{bmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} ac - bd \\ ad + bc \end{pmatrix} $$ $$ (a + bi) \cdot (c + di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi^2 $$ From here on you can infer that $ i^2 = -1 $.  So what if we do the same thing, but a different matrix? $$ z = a + bh$$ can describe a matrix $$ \begin{bmatrix} a &amp; b \\ b &amp; a\end{bmatrix} $$ and we can discover it the same way $$ \begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} c &amp; d \\ d &amp; c\end{bmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} ac + bd \\ ad + bc \end{pmatrix} $$ $$ (a + bh) \cdot (c + dh) = ac + adh + bch + bdh^2 $$ From here we infer that $ h^2 = 1 $.  Also $$ e^x = 1 + \frac{x}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} + \cdots  $$ $$ \begin{align} e^{xh} &amp; = 1 + \frac{xh}{1!} + \frac{(xh)^2}{2!} + \frac{(xh)^3}{3!} + \frac{(xh)^4}{4!} + \frac{(xh)^5}{5!} + \cdots \\ &amp; = 1 + \frac{xh}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3h}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + \frac{x^5h}{5!} + \cdots \\ &amp; = \cosh{x} + h \cdot \sinh{x} \end{align} $$  How many more numbers like this are there? And does that mean that for each set of trigonometric functions there exists a number which can turn multiplication into a rotation using those trigonometric functions?

Please help How to ensure that all traffic goes through VPN connection once it has been started? I connect to the internet through a VPN provider along with other precautions in order to ensure privacy (against traffic analysis by agencies of a repressive government). I currently use  to configure and establish the VPN connection. Tunnelblick does not allow automatically connecting to the provider at or before login so I need to connect manually each time, and sometimes the connection is lost.  I need any and all traffic to go through the VPN connection at all times; whenever the VPN isn't connectable for whatever reason, I want the fallback to be no connection. I need to ensure   that OS X does not connect to the internet on my regular internet connection, or at all, during boot (until the login screen, for time synchronization and other possible "call home" stuff etc.). What services, if any, try to do this, and how can I practically analyze and change what's going on with networking during boot? Is there a way to connect to VPN earlier than right after login? that if my VPN connection is temporarily lost, applications do not continue to communicate over my regular unencrypted connection.    I basically want the system to act as if the network connection is lost altogether if the VPN connection fails, but currently they just continue to work as if nothing happened. What can I do to my system so that once a VPN is established, all traffic can only flow through that connection and no traffic can flow if the connection drops? Proving an identity relating to the complex modulus: $z\bar{a}+\bar{z}a \leq 2|a||z|$ Show that $z\bar{a}+\bar{z}a \leq 2|a||z|$  I was able to check this using some examples which is not ideal for a mathematician way of proving a problem/case/theorem. I couldn't generalize it (prove it). I will be glad if I can be given the hint/proof for this problem. Thank you. Let $ G $ be an abelian group of order 6.  Then $ G $ has one element of order 6.  And so, $ G $ is cyclic and isomorphic to $ \mathbb Z _6 $.  In general, It is not true that an abelian group of order $n$ has an element of order $n$.  However in the case of $n=6$, it is true. I'm wondering there is any rule of the case (for example, a rule of $n$ that makes an abelian group cyclic).
