    The official Russian stats on the matter are quite misleading/are a lie. There are people who are factually not employed and who are de jure not counted as unemployed.

    Basis for the claim: I was among such people until recently. Registering as de jure unemployed would have both been much more hassle than it would be worth, and it would have forced me to prove that I was incapable of most of the offered work. No actual benefit of registering apart from a pittance.

    The Soviet Union and Russia use numbers as designation for many of its projects under development

    Which clandestine Soviet projects used the naming convention 'Project [n]', where n is some number?
    If you are trying to imply that other states do not use numbers in the naming conventions of their projects in general, then this is silly and you can look for all your M1s, Types, etc. all across the globe.

    Here’s an example of Soviet ship project numbers that follows this convention

    Notably, not a naming convention for clandestine projects, but for military engineering ones.

    This extends beyond military projects though. In the USSR/Russia, research institutes are designated by number

    None of those names follow the naming convention of 'Project [n]'.

    Also, those are not research institutes you are linking to - those are constructor bureaus.

    as well as hospitals and schools etc. You don’t go to Libertyville High School, instead in Russia you go to “School 57” (Школа № 57)

    As an aside, this naming happens locally, and it actually doesn't quite apply to all (primary and secondary level) schools.

    Also, I don't quite see what the relation is. I'm pretty sure that I can find similar naming conventions used for schools elsewhere.

    China also largely follows the same numbering conventions for military projects, institutions, hospitals and schools

    Which makes the soft-implication that it's just the USSR+Russia that use that naming convention more silly.

    To add to the other answers, the 'amplitude/power of a signal at a given frequency' has to do with frequency-amplitude decomposition of a signal.
    The frequencies correspond to the frequencies of some periodic functions which we choose for a given decomposition. The set of these functions is the basis of the decomposition.
    When the functions are multiplied by the relevant amplitudes, their superposition gives us the original signal.

    Apologies for the lateness.

    I was falling asleep at the time, so I might have interpreted what you said somewhat incorrectly - not all of the cartoons that I was/am about to recommend have communist messaging (and, unless memory betrays me, almost none have explicit communist messaging), but they were made under the USSR (and one in the 90s Russia, but I think that its messaging is good).

    The cartoons that I did intend to recommend off the top of my head:

    1. The Cheburashka and Gena series.
    2. The Prostokvashino series.
    3. 1980s Treasure Island adaptation (the one which birthed the Livesey phonk meme; although, this one is an adaptation, so might not count as 'communist')
    4. The 1990s Dunno on the Moon series (The character's name is transliterated into English as 'Neznayka'). This one, despite being made in the 90s offers some criticism of capitalism.

    Also, I intend on rewatching Mystery of the Third Planet and watching for the first time the Captain Vrungel series to check if I would recommend them.

    Admittedly, my initial enthusiasm was probably premature, as I might not be able to find the English-dubbed versions of these, only the subbed ones.

    Mothematician Post №2: non-correlation does not imply non-causation

    ...Or, more rigorously, non-correlation does not imply independence. As this little guy and everybody else knows, one of the most famous correlation coefficients out there is Pearson's correlation coefficient: cor(ξ, η) = (E[(ξ-E[ξ])(η-E[η])])/sqrt(D[ξ]D[η]), where E[x] is the mathematical expectation of random variable x, D[x] is the dispersion of random variable x, and sqrt(x) is the (prime) square root of x. As we all know, if cor(ξ, η) != 0, then ξ and η are not independent random variables. But recently, this little guy heard that it does not follow from cor(ξ, η) = 0 that ξ and η are independent. Obviously, he craves the light of knowledge and wants to hear some examples of non-independent random variables having a correlation coefficient of 0.

    Trying to set up PySpark on Windows. Need help.

    Have been trying to set it up for hours now. Nothing works. - Latest version does not seem to have winutils support, and using it causes errors when using some important methods. (EDIT: this is likely wrong, and the winutils stuff that I have should probably be fine.) - Older versions require to be built with Maven. However, that just gives me a `PluginExecutionException`. I need to do this ASAP, preferably within the next 3 hours. I have nowhere else to ask for help, it seems, especially considering that ![reddit-logo](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/4aac8007-876f-4c7f-936d-b7eabf506ef4.png "emoji reddit-logo") suspended an account I set up specifically for asking questions after I edited a relevant post.
