Nov 19, 2017 at 14:58 comment added Joel David Hamkins I would suggest instead that the commenters post their answer as an answer, rather than as a comment.
Nov 19, 2017 at 11:37 comment added YCor @GABB when a question is so easy that it's answered in comments then I think it's reasonable to modify the question to make it more interesting. So I'd rather suggest to do so (and add relevant tags). I don't mean ask a second question. Still, the question can include a discussion reflecting the input from previous comments.
Nov 19, 2017 at 11:33 comment added YCor @WilleLiou: standard word for "non-countable" is "uncountable" :)

Nov 19, 2017 at 6:43 comment added ABB Probably you are right. So I do now.
Nov 19, 2017 at 6:41 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @GABB Are you sure it makes sense to add these tags to the question the way it is now? I believe you should ask a separate question about topological vector spaces

Nov 19, 2017 at 6:33 comment added ABB This question seems to be much more challenging (and mysterious) when, $X$ is considered as a locally convex topological vector space i.e. $\tau$ induced by a family of seminorms on $X$. It would be great to have an answer in this particular case.
Nov 18, 2017 at 5:16 comment added ABB @WilleLiou It was really interesting. Thank you very much.

Nov 17, 2017 at 20:46 comment added Wille Liu An example: Let $X$ be a non-countable set. We equip $X$ with the topology whose open sets consist of $\emptyset$ and those subsets $U\subseteq X$ with $|X\setminus U| < \infty$. Then any basis generates the same Borel $\sigma$-algebra but $X$ is not second countable.
Nov 17, 2017 at 20:04 comment added Michael Greinecker @WilleLiou The Borel $\sigma$-algebra is the power-set, but the $\sigma$-algebra generated by the basis of singletons is the countable-co-countable $\sigma$-algebra.
Nov 17, 2017 at 19:51 comment added Wille Liu What about non-countable discrete sets?
