They should have gotten a warning from the altimiter. Any IFR rated comercial pilot who flies out of clouds and gets surprised by the ground deserves to die.
They don't keep backups of their data?! Daily incremental and monthly full backup at the least, for a business enviornment. And practice a full restore onto new hardware to verify everything works. They didn't make an extra backup of the data before a new server migration?! Why didn't they install their stuff onto the new hardware and test it offline before the switchover?
Could be because the police want to set a legal precendent where they can scan any phone at the "scene of the crime", no warrant or justification required. Also what happens if they can't get into your phone? Are you required to assist them? Do you go to jail if you don't?
1-The main benefit of Bitcoin is the decentralized and not controlled by 1 company thing. This proposal just makes them a bank. 2-If your currency is issued by a corporation then they know everything you do so they can sell your privacy even better. 3-Switching Americans over to a private currency would make tax evasion so much harder for the IRS to track. I don't see why the American Government would allow this.
The EU is fully capable of building a military to take on America, they choose to spend their money on social programs (public healthcare, public education, etc) instead. If "Western" countries can reach an agreement with Russia and China to prevent conflict then America could do the same.
Fusion reactors should use hydrogen for fuel as it's cheap and plentiful. Why invest $ trillions on something that uses crazy expensive fuel that will quickly run out? Nuclear power costs more than renewable power so Fusion is already dead.
If the police think it's possible then let them spend their money building a prototype. Then offer prizes for hackers to find the holes in it. Once they have a working and proven secure system we'll talk.
Donald Trump is no Republican. He's against free trade (get governent out of the way of business), he's against illegal immigration (cheap labour that can't complain about working conditions), and endless war (arms sales). If you are a conservative OR Republican you should want him out of office (concervatives care about balanced budgets, Republicans don't).
America is awash in guns, I see no evidence the 2nd amendment is under attack. There is plenty of room for reasonable limitations on guns in America. Banning semi-automatic weapons would be a good start. You can have revolvers, bolt action rifles, and pump action shotguns only. That's plenty for hunting, farmer use, and self defense.
All police departments try to achieve zero crime. They constantly look for ways to detect criminals. This means they are constantly pushing the boundary of legal law enforcement methods, and sometimes they cross that line. The "Average" living room is beyond the reach of law enforcement. Only special living rooms justify surveilance (special = they have a reason for a warrant), meaning average living rooms are not bugged just like encrypted messages are not read. For most of human history what happened in private stayed private, so again this isn't a new situation for police and they know how to deal with it (lean on a person who has access to what you want).
If someone builds a competing service to Facebook, either they charge for the service (and nobody uses it because "Facebook is free") or they sell their users privacy (and get corupted just like what happened to Facebook and Google). Maybe we can convice the Government to run this as a public service? To stop the Russians from rigging elections, right?
You can teach parenting in school. Every single modern country except America has figured out how to control medical expenses. Universal health care is cheaper than the American system, so you already have the money to implement it.
The working poor today have more than kings did 200 years ago, but don't consider themselves rich. Having all that money/stuff won't make them happy unless they have the poor starving rabble to lord it over.
1-Russia, China, and North Korea spend a lot of time and money on "Hacking" western computer systems. Taking remote control of these jets seems like it would be a high priority target for them. 2-Replacing all our manned jets with robot fighters would allow America to destroy its enemies without any "Human" cost. Add robot ground soldiers and they can invade anyone, at any time, for as long as desired. How long would the Vietnam war have lasted without the draft and casualties? 3-No casualty wars means no inhibitions to war. Iran and Syria would be invaded, as would any country that doesn't obey America.
Speed and latency are not the same. Speed is volume of data over time while latency is how fast the network responds. A station waggon full of optical tapes has high speed of transfer but terrible latency. Given how slowly north american ISP's roll out network bandwidth we can assume 5G will have low latency combined with low speed.

An AI mind is a huge interconnected machine. You only need to change a few parameters to tilt the output in your favour.
An AI that makes all choices in a cold rational manner would be amoral. It would be a sociopath, with goals chosen by our current politicians.

If the rest of the world forbids that class of aircraft from flying in their airspace then it affects America.
Train the pilot to fly the aircraft instead of having the aircraft pretend to be something else. Also regulatory capture is a problem.
We're reaching the tipping point for self driving cars. Soon you'll be in the passenger seat with your laptop.

Doesn't political advertising need to be labeled as such? I realize Fox News doesn't do this.
Android needs 3 permission settings: 1-yes, 2-no, 3-no but lie and give the app fake data.

Host the data in America, host the encryption keys in the EU?
I think EU data protection laws forbid this. Meaning every single American cloud server company just got banned from the entire EU.

Arming drones instead of Kamakazi drones. The wing design for long loiter time means slow flight and that's bad for intercepting enemies.
