Why not let the administrative interface generate the temporary password and show it?

Not necessarily. This is an observational study, so it might be the case that robotic surgery is employed in harder cases, which compensates for its advantages.

Thanks, I stand corrected. For some reason I was considering Uranium only (which also decays, but with such a long half-life).

The reason you need a gel between the USG head and the body is to bridge the gap with something of a similar speed of sound. Barriers between materials of significantly different speed of sound reflect large part of sound waves; having such

EDIT: I was wrong. See the child for correction. There are no radioactive materials in the warhead. In other words: there are no materials that undergo radioactive decay. What is in there are fissile materials: ie. materials that emit neutr

Any damage to the warhead would likely make it impossible to have a nuclear reaction. In order to do that, the warhead would have to explode multiple precisely shaped conventional explosives with precise timing. If any one of them was defor

If one counterfeits a chip using something that will not work at all, why put any chip inside at all? Why not just place a resistor between VCC and GND?

Why is moving the place one dumps heat from below ground to above ground not acceptable?
194.
by robryk 9y ago
Or you can just convert that energy into heat, but do that on the surface. Have large resistor banks on the surface that you connect to the DC grid when the voltage is too high.

This is likely part of how the speech-generating NNs are trained (ie. there's a generated-speech-detector and the network is trained to fool it, while it is also trained): https://arxiv.org/abs/1406.2661

So why does the following manual go to such lengths to prevent the winch line from ever being tied to the ground? http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafsearchandrescue/rafcms/mediafiles/7...

Such a mechanism might also endanger the helicopter: releasing a line under high tension will cause both ends of the release mechanism to rapidly accelerate away from the connection point.
199.
by robryk 10y ago
As far as I know, one of the reasons why dropping the load is considered dangerous is that the line that was holding the load will be suddenly released from high tension, so it will go flying at fast enough speed to injure someone.

Usually tying an in-flight helicopter to the ground is a huge no-no. E.g. there's a subtle sequence of steps for airlifting a casualty from a steep hillside that prevents the helicopter from ever being connected by a rope to the ground

So what happens if two people independently rent rooms in the same apartment and sell sex there? Neither the owner of the apartment nor any of those two people need to be aware of that being a brothel, and the sex workers themselves are arg

According to the article in UK it's legal to offer sex for money, as long as you're the only person doing it in a particular location (because otherwise the location is a brothel and operating a brothel is a criminal offense). In

Is this the correct link? I can find nothing about TCG nor about "tiny code generator" there. It would be nice to warn about lack of security properties of TCG in some of these places: http://git.qemu-project.org/?

It's about 1 MPixel / minute on a typical desktop. The other paper mentions that it's extremely slow, but truly we did forget to give actual numbers there.
