That's hardly unique to JavaScript. iOS apps are generally Objective-C or Swift. Android apps are Java or C/C++. Ads and stalking, including your GPS coordinates are the norm these days.
Because of all the evil examples out there, my advice that you should never run something written by a programmer on your own hardware.
Perhaps. But there are multiple well known issues when dealing with the estates of authors when it comes to writing books based on their worlds and characters. The estates of Edgar Rice Burroughs and of J. R. R. Tolkien come out as examples where complete books were written and then ordered destroyed because of copyright issues.
No, I'm thinking of Copyright. You will find it troublesome if you draw your own version of Steamboat Willy and try to publish it. Even though it's not an exact copy.
Copyright law is also why you can't publish fan-fict of your favorite series. Even though you think it's a brand new story, but using the characters and setting of the original story.
... are not digital copies but instead new artwork.
Copyright law is based on protecting Mickey Mouse. Drawing any likeness of Mickey and trying to display it publicly can get the attention of Disney's lawyers and in most cases they'd have a very real stance with copyright laws to defend their case.
Maybe not the wheel, but certainly the atlatl and bow would have been disruptive to the capabilities of nomadic hunter-gathers. If your village had access to technology advantages you probably were more able to survive than villages that lacked those advantages. Villages perished through competition or through conflict.
If you want to fast forward a few hundred centuries, the introduction of industrialization and urbanization coincides with the death of many languages and dialects. Societies figuratively (not literally) died as members dwindled and languages were lost. That's an example of human beings adapting, but not without consequences. (I'm for technological progress, so I believe it was a well made trade, but let's be honest about the costs as well)
Sure we'll adapt. Maybe nobody will die, maybe 100m will die. That's not really clear until we know the details of how we end up adapting. I suspect if we don't carefully plan how to adapt that it will be the later path.
You don't really need full AI to have machines that run amok. Third party take-over is always a possibility. But mostly the problem with AI isn't that we'll have a Terminator scenario, but that the human race will be unprepared to switch to a new socio-political-economic system. And while people bandy about the term AI for this scenario, really anything that results in unemployment of a billion people in a short amount of time would do the trick. So I'd argue that Elon is underestimating the impact and time scale rather than overestimating, even if he overestimates when complete AI is widely available.
Equity has to be roughly equal or the company has to have an amazingly bad reputation for culture before I start to consider those kinds of perks.
Being able to work from home is a bit of a double edged sword, as some places use it as an excuse to keep me on call during vacations and weekends. I say if we can't cover a customer's needs (I'm mostly B2B) while I'm away then we didn't hire enough or the right kind of staff, or I sorely mis-scheduled my vacation. I'm pretty flexible and can take on temporaries duties of my peers even if those duties are a bit outside of my usual job description.
Being maximally inconvenient to either coast doesn't mean it is convenient. Seriously have you ever tried to get fresh seafood in Kansas? It's no where near the coast. (freshwater trout is plentiful though, but that's not going to make good sushi)
Erlang is a little obscure. It's a great system and I think we'd be better off if it more developed on it, but it's not on the top 20 of GitHut or TIOBE lists. Popularity isn't an indicator of superiority of course, else I'd have to argue how Delphi/Object Pascal beats Erlang. I think popularity does indicate the availability of salary data. And there should be more samples of people working as Delphi programmers than of Erlang programmers. (Gut feeling is I suspect the Erlang programmers get paid way more)
The calculator seems very web-dev centric so there isn't an option for System Software Engineer. Other options like Game/Graphics Developer and Mobile Developer don't really do the trick either.
I wouldn't normally complain except the "75th percentile" option is less than half what I currently make. If someone tries to write me a job offer based on this calculator they are going to be sorely disappointed with my response. I've run into this before, with hiring managers coming to me to argue how "generous" their offer is, as if I don't have a right to refuse it. I usually have 2-3 jobs lined up when I'm interviewing and tend to go with the highest offer the suits my expertise. (company culture, on-site amenities, etc are not very important when you're able to behave professionally)
Playing fair and not ripping off employees and customers might be a violation of SEC rules that protect against shareholder disenfranchisement, at least for publicly traded companies. It's hard for a corporation these days to spend too much on donating time, resources and money to improving communities as that usually isn't a tax write off except when directed to registered charities. The charities themselves are usually scams and inefficient, so a smart CEO might want to cut out the middle man to make the most effective use of a donation only to be kicked out by the corporate board.
Profit is not a god to worship above all out. It's OK to make some profit if you can retain your humanity. But lawyers and greed have slowly outlawed any business operated by human beings.

By independent contractor I mean what Uber does to shift the businesses costs onto their "employees". Many of which are really bad at estimating the total costs for their car loans, maintenance, etc. (I'm not a socialist, I just don't think it's very honorable to base a business off people making poor choices)
Most self driving systems rely on visual observations to stay in the lane. Tesla's stated goal is to be able to do full autonomy with only normal camera's and not the whole ladar gizmos that Google uses. Unless we start building other kind of track and location information into the roads it would be hard to make sure that you stay on the road. Headlights should be sufficient for this, and streetlights not needed.
It's my job actually. So you don't need a full spectrum of light for it to work. And if you've seen what training is like for night driving you'd realize how wrong you are about current computer vision systems. The systems are definitely designed to not need street lights, so there is the bigger half of the two down for astronomy.
I assumed you packed up a telescope when you looked up, so put a filter on it. Orion sells a wide range of filters. And while they are not super cheap they are in the price range of a hobbyist, especially one that was willing to travel to Idaho.

My test track is entirely downhill.

Too late.
You're free to create your own network if you don't like it.
Safer than bicycling to work, perhaps 10x so.
A filter is only able to block light.
Yes, that's basically the definition of the word filter in every science.
That's right, expand the definition until words are meaningless and can no longer be discussed. You must be really fun at parties.
