  1. The matrix is such a mathematical object. Listed in the Linear Algebra section here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_object
  2. Did you read it carefully? https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html (change 7.0 to the appropriate one in your case) Also worth checking out: https://www.google.com/search?q="this+certificate+is+invalid"+tomcat maybe someone has encountered a similar problem to yours and managed to solve it (or someone has hinted at how to do it)
  3. You like problems that cannot be definitively answered (i.e., verified by experiments)..
  4. The seasons are here only temporarily.. After billions of years, the Earth will face the same problem as the Moon, i.e., a tidal lock towards a heavier space object..
  5. Mortals and their sense of humor.. can't grasp it..
  6. LISP, what is it? OK, I found online compiler, which accepts this: (print (+ 2 3))
  7. Sensei replied to sanjibseo's topic in Religion
    Careful, my mortal friend, with words, what about "aliens" i.e. extraterrestrial life forms, living or not i.e. artificial.. BTW, aren't people flawed, weak and sinful? (including the "hierarchy that judges" especially, since they have access to $$$ to a much greater extent than the common human). In capitalist countries, since the beginning, children are taught about the "value of money" and that everything revolves around money all the time.. Child: "Why we can't do this or that?!" Parents: "We have no money".. (It's "funny" that if someone has "money", they rarely spend it wisely..) Their further sins are the result of teaching them that money rules the world (at least in capitalist countries)..
  8. The electron is not the only negative particle. There are others e.g. Pion- , Kaon- , antiproton and "hundreds" of others. The proton is not the only positive particle. There are others e.g. Pion+, Kaon+, positron and "hundreds" of others. If you accelerated different charged particles (using an external electric field), and the forces were asymmetrical, the differences in their velocities would be easily detectable. Higher velocity -> higher kinetic energy -> longer trace in the e.g. Cloud Chamber, Bubble Chamber etc. The same with the mass between the particle and its corresponding antiparticle. Significantly different rest-mass affects observations.
  9. It's not that simple. In order to stay in space, they must have enough velocity to avoid falling back to Earth, the Sun or another space object. To calculate position on Earth, a GPS satellite (in orbit > 20,000 km) must have both gravitational time dilation and velocity time dilation taken into account. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/Comparison_satellite_navigation_orbits.svg Escape velocity is not constant, but variable and depends on the distance. What can be found on the web as the escape velocity of a space object is the velocity from the surface of that object.
  10. Does dry ice (-78.5 C) count.. ? and/or Liquid Nitrogen and/or Liquid Helium?
  11. To paraphrase, if you turn on a light bulb in a room and go outside, meaning no one witnesses the light in your house, there is no light in your house?
  12. ..bad first impression..
  13. The quickest option is to put surgical gloves on them.. ..or reverse.. if you don't want your hands to be wet..
  14. Excise tax on cigarettes and alcohol is a significant portion of their price. In my country excise and VAT on cigarettes account for over 80% of their price (which is already ridiculous). i.e. "1" cigarettes without taxes, "5" taxes, "6" cigarettes with taxes. Ref: https://taxfoundation.org/cigarette-tax-europe-2021/ Now check how much $$$ your local government earned from excise taxes in a year, and how much they spend on salaries for doctors, nurses, hospitals. Wouldn't they "go bankrupt" if everyone said "I don't smoke" "The black hole" made by everyone saying "I quit smoking" would be bigger than the mortgage crisis of 2007-2008+..
  15. I heard that Walmart needs people who can give their customers the right amount of change from their purchases..
  16. I don't. People cut off the hands of thieves, kill murderers, etc. and what.. nothing.. It didn't work..
  17. I have seen ravens, magpies and jackdaws, going into regular park trashcans and throwing trash after trash (up to 20-30 cm lightweight stuff), outside.. looking for food.. One who did not witness this could imagine that this was done by some idiot people/kids, but it was done by birds.. The amount of garbage on the streets makes people lazy. If you see a lot of garbage flying or lying around you, you stop caring. If it's clean, you don't want to be the first to throw trash in the wrong place.
  18. Notice in what context I wrote this i.e. "Perhaps that famous phrase "I think therefore I am" is a good start." If A.I. "thinks" therefor A.I can say "I am"/"I exist".. ? What is a "thought"?
  19. What is the difference between "thinking" and "performing heavy calculations by an algorithm/A.I." ?
  20. Children everywhere throwing garbage in school.. ? If I were a teacher in such a school, I would say to them: "hey, we don't have a lesson today! (10s pause for a 'hooray!') But we are going to the city.. everyone has to fill 20-30kg bag with garbage found in parks, streets, etc.".. several hours spent on the streets.. If the kids don't catch the lesson and start cleaning up at their school, repeat it again.. 10-20 km of walking a day is not very pleasant..
  21. Too young children, before the age of 13, are generally not interested in sex to any great extent. Interest in the sexual act, and the opposite gender begins to appear at the age of about 13 years, depending on the development of a person. Different laws in different states, in different countries, cannot change human biology. ps. Children often do not consent i.e. try giving them food they don't like (e.g. tomatoes, broccoli, Brussels sprout, spinach)..
  22. This is an example of a bad, ineffective and unenforceable laws.. created by bored politicians to pretend work.. What really matters is whether or not there is consent to have sex with someone. If there is no consent, and there was forced sex, then it is rape and someone (or not) informs the police. No one will inform the authorities about consensual sex, no matter what age they were. This is how to create a populist politician - it will win votes from smokers, for the cancellation of this law in the future.
  23. He was not joking. You don't know how other people, animals or plants feel and interpret what they see, hear and receive stimuli through their organs. You just think that others see the same thing as you, which may be true, or may be just an illusion.
  24. Thanks for an idea. A month ago I bought a great whiteboard for.. 5 dollars.. Which cost. 295 dollars when it was brand new.. The employer at the scrap yard wanted to destroy it and extract the metal from it (it is magnetic).
  25. Politicians often create silly laws to pretend that they (politicians) are needed for anything other than screwing you over by collecting salaries.. How is this even supposed to work? In 2030..2040...2050, an adult goes to a store and the clerk asks for an ID card to see if the year of birth is < 2008 or >= 2008.. ? https://www.google.com/search?q=new+zealand+smoking+population "The drop of New Zealand's overall smoking rate to 8% would place it among some of the world's lowest prevalences." "New Zealand/Population 5.123 million (2021)" * 8% = 410k
