I'm looking for a word or a phrase to describe a particular aspect of negotiations. This concept is not unique to negotiations, but negotiations seem to provide the clearest example. The concept is this: The more you ask for, the less likely you are to succeed. There is an inverse relationship between the probability of you getting a good outcome, and how high you set your definition of "good outcome."  If we imagine a simple scenario in which an employee and a boss are negotiating a salary between 0 and 10, if the employee asks for 9 she immediately loses goodwill, as well as loses the respect of the boss. It is very unlikely that she will receive 9. But if the employee asks for 6 (a more 'reasonable' number) her chance of receiving 6 is much higher.
I'm looking for an idiom that is equivalent to the Portuguese:  Quem tudo quer, tudo perde. Who wants everything, loses everything.  It basically points out that being too ambitious will have bad consequences: not only does one not get what one's striving for, but one also ends up losing what one already had (and probably took for granted). This idiom should be usable in everyday speech.

Distributions other than the normal where mean and variance are independent I was wondering if there are any distributions besides the normal where the mean and variance are independent of each other (or in other words, where the variance is not a function of the mean). Look at  edit. I didn't really expect that I would able to suggest adding  tag, but I could!  How is it possible? (seems that usual users can add mod-only tags without moderator help!)  Edit  Oded removed  back :-( Long boot delay on Ubuntu loading/splash screen following regular dist-upgrade on clean SSD install (18.04) Little Snitch reports outgoing connections for AirPlayXPCHelper for wrong subnets? After upgrading to El Capitan, I've started noticing annoying connections from the AirPlayXPCHelper to 192.168.1.0/24 subnet (my home network isn't in 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, it's in 172.16.0.0/12 subnet).  Questions are:   Why AirPlayXPCHelper goes out to this network on port 5000 and 7000? Is there a way to limit it's desire to go there?   Thank you. Best VNC / remote desktop software for assistance Poll on best VNC / remote desktop software for assisting others on Windows/Mac machines from Ubuntu?    I've heard good things about TeamViewer and Fog Creek Copilot, but I'm wondering if the included GNOME Vinaigre VNC client is good enough for this.  To specify, I'm looking for best option based on:   SIMPLEST ease-of-use for client to download/use on their end. See #1.

Changing order of features in shapefile I have a shapefile and I want to change the order of the features. Is that possible? I want to sort the features in the shapefile because I'm embedding this shapefile in a mobile app. The app will display a list of features, and although I could do the sorting at load time, I'd prefer to have them sorted. I'm interested if any of the following explanations have enough predictive capability to explain the observations we see today. The claim is that the Universe is not expanding, and that red-shift of light is caused by:    Though a couple of these are simply ridiculous, I'm still interested. Keep in mind that I am not a creationist, but am looking for reasons to see if any of these are valid or invalid. Why is the Yang–Mills existence and mass gap problem so fundamental? Ref:   Can anyone please explain why the Yang–Mills Existence and Mass Gap problem is so important / fundamental to contemporary mathematics (and, presumably, theoretical / mathematical physics)?  If possible, please include the following in your answer / response:  (1) Why the problem is so fundamental / important - for both mathematics and theoretical / mathematical physics; (2) How the solution to the problem would impact research in the above two fields; (3) (If applicable) What progress has been made so far in resolving it; (references to papers, books, other resources would be helpful).  I'm an upper-level undergraduate in theoretical physics, and so am seeking an answer / response at such level. Compute Galois group of $\mathbb F_q/\mathbb F_p$ I have to compute Galois group of $\mathbb F_q/\mathbb F_p$ where $q=p^n$. I know already that $\mathbb F_q/\mathbb F_p$ is galois, so I don't need to prove it. Moreover, I know that \begin{align*}\sigma :\mathbb F_q&amp;\longrightarrow \mathbb F_q\\ x&amp;\longmapsto x^p\end{align*} is an automorphism that fix elements of $\mathbb F_p$ and thus $\sigma \in Gal(\mathbb F_q/\mathbb F_p)$.  Now, I know that if $k&lt;p^n$ then $\sigma ^k(x)=(x^{p})^k=x^{pk}\neq 1$ and thus $\sigma $ is of order $p^n$. Now if I can prove that $|Gal(\mathbb F_q/\mathbb F_p)|=p^n$, then $Gal(\mathbb F_q/\mathbb F_p)=\left&lt;\sigma \right&gt;$ and it would be finish, but I can't prove it since even $X^q-X$ split over $\mathbb F_q$, theis polynomial is not irreducible, and thus, I can't conclude. So how can I find an irreducible polynomial of degree $q$ that split over $\mathbb F_q$ ? What is / how can I get a student-safe power supply for electronics projects?  I'm looking for a student-safe power supply for solder less breadboard.  I'm developing a course to teach electrical engineering to grade school students as an after-school program.  I'm wrapping up the first course and I've learned a lot, including that I need to find a safer power supply.  We're mostly using 9V batteries and connecting them to the breadboard via alligator clips.  After lots of searching, I'm realizing that I need to turn towards the expert community for guidance.  I hope that with the rise of the Makers  this question will become increasingingly relevant with time as more kids get into electronics.  Inextricably linked to this question is what is the minimum power source to use.  I've liked using 9V batteries since we can connect to them using alligator clips; but I worry that they are just a little too powerful.  I can imagine them somehow starting a fire with them.  My #1 priority is to keep the students safe.  Kids just have no concept that they can cause damage to themselves and property.  When I ask "where is that smoke coming from?" I'll get a gleeful response from the student that is seeing how many batteries he could hook together and short out.   I really need to limit the damage they can do.  I mainly don't want anyone electrocuted or anything to catch fire.  Kids will routinely attach LEDs backwards, leave them like that and then act surprised when they explode.   After safety, I want to protect the equipment.  Kids will hook up a LED backwards all the time.  After protection, I want to give the kids feedback as to what is going on.  A light that indicates power is on would be awesome.  A light or siren or circuit break that indicated a short would be awesome too.  Battery powered supplies are slightly preferred, just to keep upfront costs low and to avoid having to run outlets to each table.  Boundaries:   We are only using simple LEDs, BJT transistors, resistors and maybe a timer IC.    Similiar Questions:       References:  Course details are here:   We currently sometimes use  from the Squishy Circuits Store and/or a 9V battery with alligator clips.  Epilogue  I found it tougher than expected to find a suitable wall wart, so I'm listing what I finally found for future reference.  I'm about to test the following combination:         Epilogue 2  A year-plus in, I've decided to drop the in-line power switch since it wasn't obvious when it was 'on' vs. 'off'.  I'm instead relying upon the students to unplug the rat-tail from the supply, which is quick and easy.  Also, since I'm primarily using this for a squishy-dough project, I'm experimenting with with using two button batteries instead of a wall power. I know that any subset of V with more than k vectors is always linearly dependent, but how do I include matrix A into the vectors given to prove the statement?   Also, for part (b), does the statement mean that Ax=0 only has the trivial solution since V intersects span{u1, u2, ..., uk}={0}?  Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! How to approach proving $f^{-1}(B\setminus C)=A\setminus f^{-1}(C)$? How distorted does the Andromeda Galaxy appear to us due to the speed of light? The Andromeda Galaxy appears to us at an angle to the galactic disk, i.e. we are not in the Andromeda Galaxy disc's plane, nor are we near the direction that the galaxy's pole points. Therefore, due to the geometry and distances involved, it would seem to me that we are seeing the 'far edge' a few thousand years later than we are seeing the 'near edge'. How far can a galaxy spin during that those few thousand years, and therefore how distorted are we seeing Andromeda? Can we infer how Andromeda or other large spiral galaxies seen at an angle would look if light were to travel instantly?  Might this phenomenon account for some of the unusual spin properties measured in galaxies, which is attributed to dark matter? Finding the derivative of $x\uparrow\uparrow n$ I am trying to find a general derivative for the function: $f(x)=x^{x^{x^{...^{x}}}}$however to do that I must find $f^{\prime }$ and $f^{\prime \prime}$...etc. I am now trying to write down a general expression for $f^{\prime \prime}$ and I have stumble opon the series in the picture below, I wonder, do anyone have an idea of what sort of expantion it migth be ? I have tried breaking it down into three different sums, but I wasn't very successful!  EDIT  So since this post has gotten some attention and the title has been change I will tell you what I am on about, although I already have a post just for the question in the title from before. I am as I said earlier trying to find a general derivative for the function $f(x)=x^{x^{x^{...^{x}}}}$ where $n$ is an arbitrary number, natural number and greater or equal to 2. I have already made success when I tried to find the first derivative, and I have also found some interesting pattern emerge when the derivatives as well as n incresses. But my question here was if anyone knew what this expation might be or look similar to be, since I have yet to be lernt series etc. I did not know that the question needed such background since it's straight a forward question. Why are there no byte or short literals in Java? I can create a literal long by appending an L to the value; why can't I create a literal short or byte in some similar way? Why do I need to use an int literal with a cast?  And if the answer is "Because there was no short literal in C", then why are there no short literals in C?  This doesn't actually affect my life in any meaningful way; it's easy enough to write (short) 0 instead of 0S or something. But the inconsistency makes me curious; it's one of those things that bother you when you're up late at night. Someone at some point made a design decision to make it possible to enter literals for some of the primitive types, but not for all of them. Why?
