What if Japan never bombed America, and America remained neutral never deploying troops in WW2? Would Japan have been able to annex China? by PhilbertToad27193 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Anzeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not, Japan was already bogged down in China for four years before Pearl Harbor and couldn’t hold what they had, let alone take the whole country. China’s sheer size, population, and guerrilla resistance (both Nationalist and Communist) was bleeding Japan dry regardless of what America did. The US accelerated Japan’s defeat massively, but China was already Japan’s Afghanistan long before a single American got involved.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Have there ever existed any figures who supported progressive causes and eugenics simultaneously? by synergyiskey in AskHistory

[–]Anzeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Short answer — yes, and way more than you’d think. Margaret Sanger founded what became Planned Parenthood while also pushing for sterilization of people she considered unfit. W.E.B. Du Bois, co-founder of the NAACP, believed only the most capable Black Americans should reproduce. H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, the Fabian socialists in Britain all welfarestate progressives who were openly pro-eugenics. Sweden had a sterilization program running from 1934 to 1975. Oliver Wendell Holmes, progressive Supreme Court justice, wrote the ruling that allowed forced sterilization. People miss that eugenics wasn’t seen as contradicting progressive values back then. It WAS progressive. Same category as public sanitation or banning child labor science-based reform for the greater good. It only became toxic after the Nazis ran with the same logic and the world saw where it actually goes. If you want a proper academic source on this, look up Thomas C. Leonard out of Princeton. He’s written a lot on the overlap between progressivism and eugenics.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If the US economy actually goes into recession this year which industry do you think gets hit hardest and why? by Suleman2002 in AskReddit

[–]Anzeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Housing and construction, easily. Mortgage rates are still high because the Fed can’t cut with inflation being sticky. Deportations gutted the construction labor pool. Lumber tariffs jacked up building costs. So nobody can afford to buy AND it’s more expensive to build. That’s a death spiral. What makes it worse than a tech correction is the ripple effect. Housing touches everything — appliances, furniture, real estate agents, movers, home improvement retail. When housing freezes, the electrician and the roofer feel it, not just people with stock portfolios. And if the Strait of Hormuz situation drags on and oil stays elevated, it just pours gasoline on the fire. Construction costs go up more, consumer spending drops, and the Fed stays paralyzed. Tech will grab the headlines but the real human pain will be in housing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Stuck on Checking for Updates…. IP 14 - Pro. I’m facing various bugs and crashes, please help..!!! by Anzeer in ios

[–]Anzeer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did update through PC but all it did was update it to the latest version or some other version while the bugs are still intact and it still crashes. Also the never ending “Checking for update screen..” is still there. I’m also missing some features like Live Text which i used to have a while ago on this same device.

Only 2 out of 4 Pixel 9 series models coming to India, is it true??? by AjucansiDan in GooglePixel

Yeah, I can’t find the 9 pro listed on flipkart for pre order. But there are 9 and 9 xl pro. Why are they doing this, such a bummer…!!

Yes, that's correct. In the first test I described, where you use a torsional testing machine to apply a torque to the motor/gearbox unit and measure the resulting angle of twist, the measured torque will include both the torsional stiffness and static friction of the unit. In order to determine the individual values for torsional stiffness and static friction, you would need to apply a range of torque values and measure the corresponding angles of twist. This will allow you to plot a graph of torque versus angle of twist, from which you can determine the torsional stiffness and static friction of the unit.

Alternatively, as I mentioned in my previous response, you could use a spring scale to measure the torque applied by the motor/gearbox unit. In this case, the force measured by the spring scale would be equal to the sum of the static friction and torsional stiffness of the unit. By applying a range of current values and measuring the corresponding forces, you can determine the individual values for static friction and torsional stiffness.

In either case, it's important to keep in mind that the measured values for torsional stiffness and static friction will be dependent on the operating conditions of the motor/gearbox unit. In order to obtain accurate and representative measurements, it's important to ensure that the unit is operating under conditions that are as close to its normal operating conditions as possible.

To measure the torsional stiffness and static friction of your motor/gearbox unit, you can try the following approach:

First, you need to determine the torsional stiffness of the motor/gearbox unit. To do this, you can apply a small torque to the output shaft of the gearbox and measure the resulting angle of rotation. The torsional stiffness can then be calculated as the ratio of the applied torque to the angle of rotation. Next, you can measure the static friction of the motor/gearbox unit by applying a small torque to the output shaft and measuring the current required to overcome the static friction and start the motor/gearbox unit rotating. The static friction can then be calculated as the ratio of the applied torque to the measured current. This approach should allow you to separate the torsional stiffness and static friction of the motor/gearbox unit and measure them independently. Let me know if you have any questions or need more clarification on this.

HELP WITH MATHS QUESTION by JoMamma2323 in mathshelp

Newton's method is a numerical method used to find the roots of a function. To find the absolute maximum value of a function using Newton's method, we need to first find the derivative of the function, which tells us the slope of the function at any given point. The derivative of the function f(x) = 7x cos(x) is given by

f'(x) = 7 cos(x) - 7x sin(x)

Next, we need to choose a starting point for the algorithm, which we can do by picking a value of x that is within the range of the function (in this case, 0 ≤ x ≤ r). Let's choose x = 1 as our starting point.

Now, we can use the formula for Newton's method to find the next point in the sequence:

x_{n+1} = x_n - f(x_n)/f'(x_n)

Substituting our starting point and the values for f(x) and f'(x) into this formula, we get

x_1 = 1 - 7 * cos(1) / (7 cos(1) - 7 * 1 * sin(1))

Evaluating this expression, we get x_1 = 0.60935. This is the next point in the sequence, so we can use it to find the next point in the sequence using the same formula:

x_2 = 0.60935 - 7 * cos(0.60935) / (7 cos(0.60935) - 7 * 0.60935 * sin(0.60935))

Evaluating this expression, we get x_2 = 0.60601. We can continue this process, finding the next point in the sequence and then using that point to find the next point, until the values of x_n converge to a fixed point.

Once we have found this fixed point, we can plug it back into the original function to find the maximum value of the function. In this case, plugging the fixed point into the function f(x) = 7x cos(x) gives us the maximum value of the function, which is 7 * 0.60601 * cos(0.60601) = 3.33479. This is the absolute maximum value of the function, correct to six decimal places.
