If screening and selecting survivors is the solution, why bother with Mars? Set up a colony in Antarctica. Its easier to deliver initial supplies and the atmosphere is at least breathable.
How did things turn out for Howard Hughes? Hughes was in his late-40s to early-50s when his crazy side overtook his genius side. Musk is 46 years old now. Clock is ticking.
Smart people have dumb ideas all the time. Just look at all the great scientists who have been geniuses in one field, but complete kooks in other fields.
Richard Branson, in particular, seems to be more of a professional gambler. His successes make enough to compensate for his failures, but betting on any particular venture's success is a bad strategy.
More people living in virtual reality means fewer crowding up the real world. If you can get them hooked young, then they'll be taken out of the gene pool before reproducing. These both seem like improvement to me.
This hack took place just before the US election in November 2016. Which puts a different context to all rocket test launches that have happened since then. It suggests North Korea isn't just rattling sabers at an untested administration. They might actually have a larger scale plan.
Thanks for the link. OP is also exaggerating on another account: the restaurant wasn't shut down. He rebranded and was back in business later that night.
there can be less or unskilled people dropped in with the recording and Tx gear then the final loadout could be adjusted based on what's seen to be needed.
Why would they do that when they already have trained and skilled professional to assess the damage and created detailed reports? Do you really think that multi-billion dollar relief operations are conducted based on some "general rule of thumb" without any onsite assessment? Just because you never leave your cubicle doesn't mean that other professions operate the same way.

what can tech do to compliment and assist?
Maybe tech can ask that question before trying to shoe horn in their latest fad.
He had piles of stones 20 feet high that looked just like those in that picture, that he had crushed from larger rocks
In other words, you didn't just find natural stone that you looked similar, your uncle used tools to create that pile of stones. There's your answer right there... a pile of stones with similar sharp edges implies human activities. Especially if the stones type different from indigenous stones in the immediate vicinity.
That is just doubling down on tech bubble naivete. Do you really think that disaster relief managers don't know how to assess damage? Do you think that goofing around on a VR headset is going to give better data than reports from professionals on site?
Why own a depreciating asset that requires constant fuel, maintenance and taxes? Especially when a round trip Uber ride costs less then parking downtown.
You are begging the question, in the original sense. Each of your three points boil down to: we need to improve our space capabilities, so that we can explore space. But you still have answered the question of why? Why do we need to send spam-in-a-can into space? There is certainly no economic justification; no resources on Mars or the Moon are cheaper to extract and transport than on Earth. There is no scientific justification; robots are more capable of collected scientific data.
The reason our current system works is because the individual drivers of vehicles hold individual liability.
That's not how it works in practice. Liability insurance is mandatory. It's the not the driver that is financially liable, it's the driver's insurance company. Driverless cars will not take over all at once, Google will only have to cover the liability insurance on the ride-share cars that they operate. If the driverless cars have a lower accident rate than other comparable commercial vehicles, then Google can negotiate for a proportionately lower insurance rate.
And according to the 4th Circuit court, he'll get his due process as soon as he makes an appearance before a US court. Until then, he considered a fugitive.
The Constitution is about restricting government, not explicitly about protecting anyone, thus this seizure is definitely illegal
The Supreme Court of the United States is the final arbiter of what is illegal or not under US law. And they seem to disagree with you. But that's not really my point. It doesn't matter if it is the US seizing his property or some other nation.
Citizenship is a contract between a member of the People and the government.
This is the more salient point. Because he sold out his national loyalties for low taxes and lax copyright laws, Kim Dotcom effectively has no social contract with a government that is willing to advocate for his rights.
Which Constitution? Kim Dotcom is a man without a country. He is a Finnish & German citizen, living in Hong Kong and New Zealand, being charged with crimes in the US.
He has no loyalty to any particular country, so now that he's in trouble, there's no country that's going to bother coming to his aid. Lesson here for libertarians who think they can game the system by flying a flag of convenience.

When you join the Elon Musk cult, do you get a secret decoder ring to find out what his tweets really mean?

A lot of authors only have one great work. Most don't even have that.
Have you ever stopped to think that the problem is you? If every book is overrated, then maybe you're the one who just doesn't understand.
These plans were stolen over a year ago. Considering events since then, does North Korea seem deterred?
How has that worked out? Does North Korea seem to be backing down since last September?
If the plans were a honeypot, then this announcement just spoiled the bait.
