Looking at how various places do 2FA, it's likely that at least some websites will not support multiple keys even if they ought to. Also, I imagine that many people do not have the luxury of multiple devices. So if you lose your phon

I'm assuming you're asking about ejecting the electrons and remaining positively-charge hydrogen ions separately, since keeping the hydrogen around would be a waste of mass. I'm no expert at space propulsion, but I think this

Space is pretty empty. From what I can find, the interplanetary medium is around 5 particles/cm^3 compared to the exhaust from the ion thruster which seems to be around 10^6 particles/cm^3 and disperses to 10^4 particles/cm^3

Walking is nice in that it's low-impact, although it's probably much more time-efficient to do a shorter, higher intensity exercise like running. (Saying this as someone who primarily walks and never runs)

My team has (not entirely consistently) tried to encourage people to use the "raise hand" button in the video call software if someone would like to speak. The currently person talking can either pause, or finish up what they&#x27

I think more precisely, the traditional definition of an orbit (stable or not) is that it's influenced by gravity. You could be in a situation where the influence of gravity was negligible (say, far beyond any galaxy) but it wouldn&#x2

I think many companies have a chicken-and-egg problem when it comes to cross-platform development. They already engineers for iOS/Android/Mac/Windows and there's established workflows for creating native apps for each pl

There's also some nodes that only work on the paid version (or add a watermark if you try to use them) and there might be restrictions on using OpenFX plugins. IMO, Resolve Studio is pretty reasonably priced considering that version up

I would actually pose this question another way. Absent the obvious political reasons (Cold War), did we go to the moon too early? The Apollo program was a combination of bleeding edge innovation (some of the first uses of transistors) and

Scammers have plenty of time to practice compared to the average person, and the face to face nature can make people more susceptible due to a false sense of trust / thinking that they can judge character over video. OTOH it'll pr

I assume it can already. The real test is whether it can write a story that people would enjoy reading (and not just as a novelty).

There's tons of basic research that could be done before we ever get to the regulatory question of human trials. If we could get pigs to live for 50 years (currently ~20) it would be a huge step forward in our understanding of aging. O

Apple doesn't sell apples or any other kind of fruit. That's my guess as to why Apple is an acceptable trademark for phones, computers, music (per arrangement with Apple Records), etc, but Snapchat's Spectacles trademark was

To nitpick a bit, my first thought was "how do HTML checkboxes detect light"? It'd be more accurate to call it a checkbox video renderer that uses a webcam as input.

From what I remember from Labmuffin's past articles, she doesn't give a specific nightcare routine because it varies based on the individual, so some trial and error is required. Maybe that's a bit of a cop out, but if there

Designing and testing it would have cost them more than $5, but substantially less than $100M. Nice solution.

There's a way to save memory by sacrificing .hashCode() runtime performance (on the assumption that most objects never get hashed) by keeping a separate lookup table for hashcodes, at the cost of having to do the indirect lookup. I don

I think part of the reason the JWST took so long to build was the complexity of the design. As in, it was difficult to manufacture and assemble and test due to the way it was designed. It might be cheaper to do it a second time based on the

I think their calculations are based on 24 hour days (1 hour roundtrip * 260 days). Vacations and work are based on 8 hour days, however, so in reality it's more like 30 days (6 weeks) of vacation time. And 30 minutes each way is much

It's portable though. A mobile phone has far less processing power than a workstation or laptop (and some are nearly as expensive) but it's also a fraction of the size / weight / power consumption / heat output.

Seconding the request for a source. The papers I've found say that SARS-1 survivors have antibodies that react to SARS-CoV-2 but don't neutralize the virus, and thus may not provide immunity. So far the mRNA vaccines have shown st

Could you be more specific or provide examples of a government census that asks about relationship status beyond legally recognized partnership situations? I'm only familiar with the US and that data seems to be hard to come by. In the

The problem with using government statistics (including the American Community Survey, as far as I can tell) is that "single" is roughly equivalent to "anyone who is not married", which is very different from "willi
