Germany survived WW2, and almost every city/town/village in the whole country was reduced to rubble. A country will only disappear if some other country takes the land/people, and most countries have little interest in taking over radioactive debris.
Your house power comes over underground wires from the neighborhood power generator, run from molten salt heated by underground DC trunk wires. If you lose the local genny you bring in a generator, lose the trunk lines the system will still run for a day while you fix it. The power can come from solar/wind/tidal/whatever as it doesn't need to be constant. Total system is also highly resistant to weather, including solar flares.
Organic matter deteriorates in cryostasis. There is a limit on keeping human eggs in a freezer and still be viable. One of the issues is radiation damage accumulates, with no system to purge it as a living creature does.
There are no technology barriers to a manned mission to Mars. All the barriers are political and financial. We can launch big stuff. We can make a life support system work for years. We can surround the crew compartment with enough water to keep radiation levels tolerable. We can make a lander, using big fuel tanks to land on rocket power instead of aerobraking. We can make a base on Mars to sustain humans for a couple of years. We can make radiation shielded EVA suits and exploration cars. We can land enough rocket parts and fuel to get back to orbit. We can return to Earth, and we can land from Earth orbit.
Everything China does is for their own benefit. They only allow foreign corporations to do business in China so they can steal their technology and trade secrets. As soon as they have done that they set up home grown competition and block the foreign sales. Doing business in China is corporate suicide.
You are suggesting this is a recent change. China has been imitating the USA for a long time. It's likely the US also demands encryption keys, but the law is probably secret.
The USA was designed to keep the rich in power, because they were (then) the only educated people (able to understand the issues). Fixed election dates(most money wins), the electoral collage(you didn't really want that idiot, i'll fix your vote), allowing the people to choose a head of government other than the ruling party(if we can't buy off congress we'll ensure nobody can do anything), an elected senate(cheaper to block the will of the people). Of note, the system worked fairly well until Globalization enslaved the USA to doing the bidding of foreign money.
1-you have to spend time keeping up to date on the issues. 2-either you go to the polling station (inconvenient) or electronic voting (endemic vote buying and intimidation issues). 3-the news media become the new politicians, swaying public support for their "clients".
The airline would create a front company to handle the security. Any problems and the company with no assets goes broke. Next problem, there is no way to prevent all attacks. Losing your life savings because they fired a modern anti-aircraft missile at your plane from 100 miles away is excessive.
Indications of large bodies of surface water should have resulted in plenty of rain. You would have had meteorite dust added later, but with the low air pressure that should not have traveled far.
Investing in food replicator tech will be needed for long range manned missions. You just don't have room or mass allowance for a full hydroponic system on a mission to Pluto.
Trying for a technology solution to a legal problem means that new technology can take away your solution, possibly without warning. You really want a legal solution to a legal problem.
The Whatsap crisis has nothing to do with "New" technology. A company ignores a judicial order, they get slapped down. We want to avoid making new tech a special situation, as that leads to situations like the police can tap your internet without a warrant, but tapping your phone needs a judge.
I suppose you could get clothes opaque to T-waves. Large, loose fitting clothes that could cover up a small arsenal. It would be interesting to see what happens if lots of people did that.

Only because he died young. If he'd lived into the sixties like Walt "Copyrights are forever" Disney, we'd still not have a legal copy of his book.

How do they weigh the drone? A dirigible the size of a car can easily have a weight less than 1/2 a pound.
We now have the technology to make a cheap cruise missile. A drone with a hand grenade isn't going to harm the white house.
Apparently you can take guns away from convicted criminals. So they just have to convict everyone of something, and the 2nd amendment is gone.
Congress is filled with people who want pork for their voters.

If the federal gov wants a national ID, then let them pay for it. None of this pigybacking on the state drivers license.
it's ok, tracking is just meta-data, and meta-data isn't bad.

I don't think the US government would allow Apple to sell a product that they couldn't spy on.

If you cancel the war on drugs, you'll find you have plenty of money for actual police work.

You might want to Google free speech zones.

Nasa currently doesn't have any goals. They keep suggesting stuff but the politicians are not listening.
