The word 'pussy' isn't the problem. The problem is the word 'grab'.

Note: I'm not defending the use of lethal force in this case, I'm really fucking uncomfortable with that as well. Whether they could keep him bottled up until he gave out is a good question and not one that I can answer.

However, if this is a bomb disposal robot, it is likely that the explosive that the police put onto the robot is one that it is designed to carry and initiate. One way bomb squads dispose of suspected bombs is to detonate them at a time of their choosing using a charge placed by the bomb squad robot. I don't know, but think it's pretty likely that the bomb squad robot doesn't have a general purpose 'pull pin on grenade' option to where it could be used with various grenade type objects, but instead that it only works with the specific charges it is designed for.

I'd maybe be even a bit more concerned if the bot could use 'any grenade type object', rather than something specifically made for EOD, because we'd probably see more of this kind of thing. But of course, now that someone has done it (1) more police departments are going to start thinking of this as a valid method and (2) we probably will see the rise of bots that have more general purpose munitions.

My guess is that this is the type of charge that is used to 'safely' detonate suspected explosive devices. One way to approach a suspected bomb is quite simply to trigger it at a known time, when the area is clear. The way to do this is generally to have a 'small' explosive charge on the bomb disposal robot, which can be attached to the suspected bomb, and blown up. This either detonates or rapidly disassembles the (suspected) bomb at a time when everyone is safely back and behind cover.

This is also why they probably couldn't use a flashbang or gas grenade on the bot, I have no idea how the bot initiates the charge it is designed to use, but I doubt that it has a servo to pull the pin on a grenade-type device. Most likely the charge is one that has an initiator specific to the robot.

That's my (uninformed) guess as to why (1) the police had a bomb and (2) the police didn't use a flashbang/gas/etc instead.

But it's a Tesla, so there won't be an engine growl, and there may not be any feeling of spooling up torque. Electric motors are quiet and go from zero to Holy Shit in no time. It's entirely possible the driver began depressing the 'brake' (actually accelerator), had time to notice not slowing down, and in a panic pressed harder and put it to the floor.

I can't assert that's what happened of course, but it happens /all the time/ in cars that make more noise when accelerating, don't accelerate as fast, and have less power. There was a hole in the front of my gym from someone doing it this last winter, and it was the second time that person had done it!

That would probably be about the time it ceased to be a plane.

I just turned off AdBlock for the first time in years.

I believe that Subgraph Isomorphism is NP-Complete, but Graph Isomorphism is not.

OTPs are great. On the other hand, you have to use each pad only once. Ever. So to encrypt 1GB of data, you need 1GB of cryptographically random pad. Which you can never use again. And must be a secret with regards to the rest of the world. And must be present on both the sending and receiving end of the communication.

If I knew how to get 1GB of unique data (be in OTP pad or the real data) from the sender to the receiver in secrecy I wouldn't need encryption in the first place.

As stated in the article (page 2, I know, I must be new here):

Here's the list of software that is FIPS certified. Be aware that most are libraries that are used in other products, which can sometimes make it hard to tell which particular certified bit is being used by end-user software.

Or someone like RedHat could decide that they need certification (required for some FedGov projects), and pay to get something like OpenSSH certified. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 OpenSSH Server Cryptographic Module, when run in FIPS mode is certificate number 1792.

This is probably what you are looking for:

Yes, in that the universe was a point at the beginning, therefore 'our position' was at the center of it, as was the position of everything else in the universe. It might be more accurate to say that instead of this galaxy moving away from us, the space between our galaxies is expanding. All of space is expanding, with gravity keeping structures at the galaxy/local group level close enough together that they do not expand themselves.

Nope, actually we won't see anything at all, as the light emitted by this galaxy will never be able to reach us. The light from this galaxy will redshift to a greater degree until no more information reaches us.

But an infinite number of zeros isn't followed by anything, as there is an infinite number of them.
