atomic time and atomic clocks in the satellites
Pseudo Random Code (PRC), each satellite has its own

Question 25

pseudo random code (PRC)

Answer 25

a very complicated digital code, or in other words, a complicated sequence of “on” and “off” pulses

Question 26

equation that allows GPS to work

rules and regulations of drones

Answer 28

have to have certification (COA), LINE OF SIGHT (when flown for hobby), don’t fly within 5 miles of airport, don’t fly for commercial purposes or payment, 16 years old to become remote pilot, max altitude 400 ft (planes min altitude is 500 ft), daylight flights only

Question 29

encryption

Answer 29

using a code, like an enigma

Question 30

password entropy

Answer 30

randomness or chaos of the password
length is most critical
protects against brute force attack on password

sometimes called marketing

using basic human nature against people

ransomware

Answer 33

encrypts your hard drive and holds it ransom until you pay for the decryption code

Answer 34

extension will run while browser is open and will use hardware to mine crypto currency

Question 35

steps used to protect identity, information, and privacy

Answer 35

keep software updated, don’t run as Admin on your PC, use multi factor passphrases, have a working backup, think and question everything

Question 36

Write down two medical or scientific advancements that took place because of Henrietta Lacks’ cells.

Answer 36

Two advancements that stem from Henrietta Lack’s cells are IVF and vaccines. IVF developed as we learned how to keep cells alive outside the body and the polio vaccines was also developed from studying her cells.

Question 37

Describe what benevolent deception is and how it was used as a common practice before ethical standards prevented it.

Answer 37

Benevolent deception is the idea that what someone doesn’t know won’t hurt them. Many doctors used these methods when they were developing the technologies of artificial insemination and IVF. Steptoe used it on the Browns when he performed the first case of IVF, he was very discrete and careful in his description of the process.

Question 38

Give me two reasons why an insect-based diet is sustainable; give me one reason why it may be an unsustainable solution.

Answer 38

Insect based diets are sustainable because they are easy to farm as well as very nutritious and full of vitamins. The problem that insect based diets face are societal, in most cultures it’s frowned upon to eat insects.

Question 40

List three types of bias and briefly describe how each of them influence personal action or perspective.

Answer 40

Three types of bias are in-group bias, negativity bias, and a gambler’s fallacy. In-group bias causes us to be over confident in those who are part of our group and we exaggerate their capabilities. Negativity bias, we tend to look at all of the negative aspects of a debate, it’s a very pessimistic view. Gambler’s Fallacy, we put a lot of weigh on what will happen in the future based on what has happened in the past.
