Here is one option: After the rocket is dropped you deploy parachutes attached to the top. Once the rocket points upward you jettison the chutes and fire the rocket. This has been demonstrated before. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?... .
If you know the location of a camera you can point an infrared lamp at it. This will saturate the sensor. The bonus is that you won't see it so it won't bother you.
There is a way. It's an old trick known as a canary trap. Note that manipulating non-meaningful elements like spacing, case and punctuation doesn't work because they are not guaranteed to be preserved. A simple normalization would destroy the watermark.
I have been reading/. for over 15 years, under different user names. I have seen this decline in quality in the last few years, as well as submitters complaining about distortions introduced by "editors". And you didn't pick up on the fact that starting a reply with "You must be new here" is an old/. meme.
Nothing. The idea is to use automation to sift through a large amount of data and flag activities of interest for examination by human analysts. This allows examination of more information, more timely detection and less risk of missing something. No decision is going to be made by software.
You must be new here. The last sentence of a summary is always an inflammatory/controversial question added by an "editor" to generate posts. Unfortunately that's often all people write about, instead of focusing on the actual story.
In the future, please just ignore that last sentence.
The orbit of spacecraft is determined by analysis of their radio transmissions. The trajectory of debris is determined by radar which is a much less accurate method.
What century are you living in ? Cruise missiles (which result in no casualties for their user) have been used without hesitation for decades in situations in which ground troops would not have been sent. Similarly bombing missions are carried out against ISIS precisely because they don't have the necessary anti-aircraft defenses. Same with the more modern UCAVs. Arms manufacturers invest heavily in the development of unmanned weapons because there are expensive and useful to politicians who want to be able to do something without having to deal with the families of dead soldiers. War has been easy for a long time. If troops are indispensable then it is a bit harder but not that much given the ridiculously disproportionate casualty numbers between sophisticated and unsophisticated armies.
How is a blockchain going to reduce inventory management costs ? The reason low-cost retailers have a small product line has nothing to do with transaction costs, which are negligible by comparison.
Alien was innovative. Aliens is a generic action movie with "marines" who act like wimps and a child, in a desperate attempt to move the viewers. Terminator 2 is essentially a remake of the previous movie with an annoying kid and cringe-worthy dialogues. The dark elements of the first one disappeared. It only succeeded because of the visual effects and some big action set pieces.
Since the FBI has a warrant, I think it is well within its right to contract any company to create this tool, but that they can't force Apple to accept this contract just because they originally built the phone. The question is whether Apple can be compelled to provide source code or other expertise to help whoever has agreed to do it.
I agree. What is funny is the convoluted terminology used for propaganda purposes by the US and NATO and repeated by everyone: When South Korea launches a satellite, they used a launch vehicle, when North Korea does it, they tested a ballistic missile that incidentally put an object in orbit.
Not exactly and no. When mass is redistributed (due to ice melting, plate tectonics, mantle convection, etc...) the shape of the geoid changes. However the total mass of the Earth is conserved. So if you are far enough away from the Earth to make it indistinguishable from a point mass, Earth's gravity remains constant.
The U.S. defines the edge of space as 50 miles (80 km), the rest of the world as 100 km. The discrepancy comes from the fact that it is a somewhat arbitrary boundary so both chose a round number in their respective measurement system. The two values are however reasonably close. For details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... .
It depends on how you measure success. If you look at things like prison population, life expectancy, homicide rate, treatment of minorities, poverty, access to higher education, access to healthcare, work conditions, protection of civil liberties, freedom of the press, etc..., the U.S. is a shithole I wouldn't want to live in.

Forget this comment. It is 100% incorrect.
This is an affine equation, not a linear equation.

The second stage (and payload) is in Earth orbit. Injection into a solar orbit will require a third burn, scheduled for some time before 03:00:00 UTC.

That's great but they are 60 years late. I'm not sure it is something to be proud of.

No, they are just holding them wrong.

There is no net change. Local gravity becomes weaker where the ice was and stronger where the melted ice now is.

You're full of shit. The ATV, Progress, and Soyuz all dock directly with the station.
Oh yes we do, it is called psychotherapy.

...but /. doesn't support math markup.
There are about 10^80 atoms in the observable universe, so we should be quite safe with 128 bits addresses.
