I don't see any comments about the ISS orbit. It is between 403 and 408 miles. With 1,156 satellites in 391 mile orbit they are close enough to interfere. It's only a 3% difference.
The launch accuracy will have to be nearly perfect
So far, I don't see comments about using this as part of artificial intelligence system. The connection to muscles would be the output path. The researchers should work on connecting a "retina" so that we'd have (admittedly small) computer
This is the sort of thing that scares me about IoT. What happens when the processor in my desk lamp has an unpatchable hardware bug? I doubt that I'll be able to replace just the processor.
Of course, PATCHING an IoT object has it's own issues. How do I control who (and when) does the patching.
They need to make a distinction between the disease (malaria) and the carriers (mosquitoes). Killing the carrier is not the same as killing the parasite.
How long until the malaria parasite starts using a new carrier?
Are currently no other species that host (however poorly) the parasite?

That only works for half the population
Yes, Solyndra was created to "stop" client change but that's just the other side of the coin.
We can help this along by setting up an environment with plenty of sunlight and gentle agitation.
Oh, we already did.
Yes they could be shot down with rifles but the public wouldn't like the stray bullets
Releasing a lot on nitrogen ions probably isn't the best thing for the environment. Yes, most will combine to NO2 but not all
It contains the dreaded microplastics
Why alive? Wouldn't estates get the money?
I'm going to put in for Thomas Edison
Will Amazon have this in place for next year's Christmas season?
Will Walmart have this in place for Summer 2019?
Will there be any (starter) job that is safe ?
The "lure" pages set by police won't be reported because:
1 If they recognize it as fake, they won't want to raise their hand as someone who surfs that type of site
2 If they don't recognize it as fake, their in jail with no Facebook access
"Those studies, however, left some dangling questions ..."
"The new JAMA study, with its full, five-year follow-up, effectively cauterised ..."
There may be others but these jumped out for me.

Traditionally, it was used to predict when you'd die
Is it now being used to predict how you'll vote?
The students is mid-California need an app for this. Maybe USCBnB?
How is this different from thin clients?
Not necessarily the methods, but the overall goals (+ ads)
If all IoTs meet some baseline security on, say, Day 1, new attacks will be found on Day 2 if not before the item ships
How do you keep your things current with the latest challenges?
If the manufacturers have hidden paths that allows them to update remotely, that code will just be a new way to hack the device.
If the manufacturers send you a new plugin with the updated code for your light or refrigerator, you get to fix each each device.
How long until the other side builds a drone that homes in on the laser trail? (Good advise -- Don't take the tent next to the laser)
More generally, our soldiers in the field are radio wave hot spots. How long until the other side builds drones to target them?
A new meaning to the expression "That guy really punches my buttons"
1 How will I secure these devices. Will each require a dongle?
2 How long until these get hacked?
If footballs are outlawed only outlaws will have footballs
