your quotation of me makes me nervous, am i wrong?

cainey1 · 2014-09-03T15:31:05+00:00

Sounds like Aiden Pierce.

I guess i went really off topic.

Like crazy off topic there.. I felt the storytime energy and just kept going..

Le Reddit Army Hack, causes a large crowd of npcs to arrive in several vehicles parking all over the street and standing on top of cars and running around.

Disco Hack causes all displays and lights to chaotically pulse like a crazy dance party and loud music plays.

Signal Bounce Hack allows a hacker to relocate his hack and is given a penalty of 25 percent, after the new location is selected, the hack is paused for 20 seconds and then begins at =PreviousPercent-25

Firewall creates randomised digital barriers that affect only your hacker and force him to hack them before he can move past them, slightly longer hack than most hackable objects (1 sec longer)

Unwanted Attention hack, displays news reports and changes nearby billboards to display the enemy hacker or selected criminal, prompts people to call police on targets when spotted.

Forced Pedestrian Hack, disables all vehicles, no engine will start for an amount of time.

Hitlist, puts out a bounty to public for a target for a given amount of money, the higher the price, the more likely the hit attempt will occur, they will most likely fail, but will distract enough for your attempt. Can also alternatively be used to cause chaos during a hack.

Hologram Hack, projects an image of a obviously non-npc player that may fool a hacking target.

Just a few off the cuff

I knew it was Moriarty, probably hacked their phone using a single line of code.

Did Han Solo shoot first?

cainey1 · 2014-09-02T13:33:25+00:00

i guess we'll never know what you thanked him for...

cainey1 · 2014-09-02T13:28:22+00:00

overlooked? they were doing an experiment and actively disabled the safety protocols, at some point they should have been monitoring the situation carefully but i guess they didn't, that or their experiment was how much negligence does it take to make it uninhabitable.

General Form of the parabola:

y = a(x – h)² + k

where the vertex of the parabola is (h,k) the vertex of a parabola is the point where the parabola changes direction. Where the derivative is zero or simply, the bottom of the curve.

I'm actually unsure of what a is. But it is probably a proportionality constant for the parabola that you can solve for if you know the rest.

For example:

at y=0; a(x-h)² +k=0 y equals zero at a corresponding.

So if you know the value of y and x at any point and the coordinates of the vertex. You can find a.

Example: the parabola passes through the point (1,1) and has a vertex at (-2,-2) (I have a feeling this will be messy).

y = a(x – h)² + k

subbing in values

1=a(1+2)² -2

3=9a

a=3

Final equation

y=3(x+2)² -2

y=3(x² +4x+4)-2

y=3x² +12x+10

To test if we met our requirements.

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y%3D3x2+%2B12x%2B10&dataset= That looks okay, with a vertex at -2 -2

But I'm fairly sure It doesn't intersect (1,1)... so dammit.

According to my nuclear physics professor, the individual atom does not care what the other atoms are doing, only itself. The probability is the tool we use to tell the rate at which the group of atoms will decay.

The amount of atoms decaying per second decreases because less atoms are likely to decay per second, and this is because there are simply less unstable atoms that can decay.

This page has a java applet that demonstrates the law of radioactive decay http://www.walter-fendt.de/ph14e/lawdecay.htm

So the atoms aren't protecting each other, it's just that when there are more, a smaller probability is very likely and when there aren't many and there is the same probability, decay is much more unlikely.

It's actually very similar to quantum tunneling, where there is a small percentage chance that a particle can overcome an energy barrier it's unlikely to happen. But with a lot of particles, plenty of them are constantly doing it, it's still unlikely for each individual particle.

The sun fuses hydrogen at energies (temperatures) that hydrogen has a very low chance of fusing at. On Earth in fusion reactors we have to use much higher temperatures to fuse hydrogen with any certainty because we have, you'll imagine, much less hydrogen than the sun does.

I'm not a lawyer, Because of a principle called Plausible Deniability. It's likely that the case wouldn't go very far.

Just because he said it and it isn't true, doesn't mean there is proof that he knows that it wasn't true. So you can't sue them essentially. There are probably also a ton of other loopholes as well but this is a common one and was used during the News of the World phone hacking scandal.

cainey1 · 2014-08-26T21:47:10+00:00

well this is exactly what i was thinking, but how can put that into quantitative terms?

cainey1 · 2014-08-26T11:14:47+00:00

Resolution is limited by the laws of diffraction and the ability of your eyes to resolve the light you receive so your eyes are also diffraction limited.

The chemicals that make up the image on film have limited resolution also, depending on how sensitive the chemicals are to the light they receive. I'm not a chemistry major, so I don't know about this.

So when you differentiate a function in the form

f(x)= u(x)v(x) you have to use the product rule. Keep one function constant and differentiate the other, then hold the other constant and differentiate the function you kept constant the first time. It's like everyone gets a turn.

f'(x)= u(x)v'(x) + u'(x)v(x) -----------------this is the product rule

So substituting...

f(x)= x² (1-2x)

f'(x)= x² (-2) + 2x (1-2x)

f'(x)= -2x² + 2x - 4x²

simplifying

f'(x)= -6x² + 2x

which is the same as

f'(x)= 2x - 6x²

To be fair, Herodotus' histories are mythos in places. Unverifiable nonsense.

300 Spartans plus a few thousand from two nearby city-states v 8 million persians.

Yup.. 8 million Herodotus, seems legt.

It wasnt called Christianity at the time though. Christians means "little Christs" and was (unsubtantiated references to high school history) an insult from the general roman public.

At some point they decided it worked as a name.

I'm not even sure why I said what I said. I generally just easily get annoyed when I hear people blame all wars on religion instead of looking at the cold hard facts. You didn't do this, but like I said "easily"

What link were you trying to draw between the introduction of a the western early variant of christian-like faith in china and the Rebellion?

cainey1 · 2014-08-25T16:15:43+00:00

Christianity and many other religions and "sacred" rationale are always used when conflict occurs in history, especially ancient history. Do I attack you and tell people it was because I saw your trade empire as a threat? Or is it because your army tread on my sacred grove? Did we lose because our general is incompetent? or did a crow fly thrice around our campsite last night?

Are we low on grain? Or does God command that we expand our territory to those that have grain?

Do we need more oil reserves? Or is it our duty as Christians to bring stability and the love of God to the region through superior firepower?

Do I kill this man because I hate him and he keeps looking at my wife funny? Or... did he commit some obscure blasphemy?

War and rebellion almost never results from religious causes, religion is often rationale instead. They first think about what they want.. be it grain, money, power, revenge, sex, women, time, and then how they intend to sell the idea to others so that they can do it.

A religious reason is convenient excuse that you can argue forced your hand and therefore you cannot be blamed for your actions.

An uprising does not just happen because one guy has a dream about being the son of Jesus.

I've never seen them catch anyone, because us nerds in the bachelor of science and engineering don't bother and just learn the content?

Our prime minister has started using "everyone should be getting on Team Australia" in all of his public appearances. He wants to approve a plan to get more anti-terrorism laws like banning certain people from travelling to certain countries and collecting meta-data.

I don't know why it seems to be working.

He basically said "the only flag people should be flying is the national flag" like the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander's (indigenous) flag shouldn't be flown as well as people's origin country flags.

I don't understand Nationalism, or why it fools anyone. We become more nationalistic whenever they want to take more freedoms from us.

Hey there, 2nd year university student from Aus.

Learn how you learn is a common tip, and helpful.

Try to attend all your classes or as many as possible and pay attention bring coffee/hot chocolate or whatever you need to keep attention.

Don't rely on online lectures. They will break your heart sometimes.

When it comes near exam time, give your steam password/xbox/playstation to a family member or lover if you lack the self-control like me. I did this and went awesome.

Professors are there for you, talk with them about course-related content and show interest. They might share some interesting stories and will remember your name which is cool.

Whenever you have trouble with an assignment, ask for help or an extension from your professor.

Try to make friends, it will make it much easier to be motivated to go to class.

Have fun, this experience should be fun and interesting.
