This isn't banning ICE engines. Only new cars with them. Also, it won't happen this way. But it surely got people talking and the writing is on the wall anyway.
Because people like thin devices. Maybe you don't but thin devices just sell better. It's also one of the few obvious things to differentiate your premium models.
Boil-off of LOX and methane in space isn't an unsolvable problem and they have to solve it anyway, since they need fuel and LOX to land on Mars and if they can prevent boil-off for 6 months they also can prevent it for a few days or weeks more.
But I agree, this video just shows it the way people expect things to look. All the details will be very different.
This is not an engineering video. Because: The booster isn't shown to be tanked after landing and before launching the second time, the fuel freighter also isn't fueled up (and surely won't be sitting there and picked up and placed on the booster by a crane with fuel onboard, which would be much too heavy). This is basically a nice fluffy PR video for consumers, not for engineers. Obviously.
Lock him away and take all this data and hardware and when he submits the bugs to Apple, make Apple pay him the bounty and let him go with a nice clap on the back.
Well, or trust him not to sell the exploit to someone else or have it stolen. This must be worth a lot of money, much more when it is not submitted. People have been stolen from, killed or tortured for less.
Exploits are the new plutonium. You can prepare for war with stockpiling and weaponizing them.
OS X even looks for a configuration file where you can customize all that. It's easy to add shift+movement combos for selecting text. Like shift-control-b for moving the cursor backwards and selecting. I never use the cursor keys on my MacBook.
Recognition will be by pressure, the fingerprint reader will work everywhere on the screen. Where's the problem?
Note that Apple will NEVER use a virtual button on the screen like Android because all the accessibility features rely on the user being able to press the home button without seeing it. So in the next iPhone the full screen will be the home button.
While I agree that Apple (and others) should be made to pay its fucking taxes, everybody just pays the taxes he can't avoid to pay. Apple is in no way special here. It's not Apple that failed here. It's regulations and international loop holes that were not fixed and still aren't fixed.
The trouble is that the thrust is so low that measuring it reliably is so hard that nobody knows if there is thrust at all or just measurement problems. It's said to be about 1mN/kW, much lower than even an ion drive.
I think there is just noise and no signal and people are seeing a rabbit in the clouds because they're looking for it very hard.
"A passenger pod is not heavy because it does not contain fuel, engines, avionics, etc., so in case of an accident it can be ejected and land on parachutes."
It contains the passengers (the payload) and is one of the major structural components of the plane, so it is heavy anyway. And if it has to be structurally sound enough to be ejected and land it will be even heavier. Big parachutes for heavy loads are not easy or lightweight too.
Besides, air travel is very safe already and this wouldn't change anything about crashes during take-off and landings.
I mean, yes, do designs and try to sell them. I doubt someone will buy this though.
If this is about recognizing and deleting already banned video even if recoded and/or edited, it's basically de-duplicating. If this is about actually recognizing extremist speech it must be miracle code...
But I'm pretty sure that the copyright thing just works by recognizing music/video that already has been taken down in other clips.
Because people don't want to bother with all that. They want a one-stop solution with all contacts in one place. Like Facebook or WhatsApp, with no need to look for contacts. It's laziness, yes. But it's powerful.
Also with these new laws in Russia this isn't going to help you at all. They have also outlawed using non-certified apps (with no backdoor) now and can fine you for just using such an app. And believe me, paying a few hundred bucks for using jabber will teach people some laziness very quickly.
It's a minority, but not a small minority. Also you can use iMessage with SMS fallback on a Mac or an iPad with no cellular connection as long as you also have an iPhone around (iMessage then will use your iPhone to send a SMS from your Mac or iPad).
One major convenience of iMessage over WhatsApp is that you can use it freely with as many devices as you want as long as they all use the same account, cellular or not.
What different languages? It's "OK Google" or "Hey Siri" with no regard to language and that's it. The keywords are the same in all languages. There may be some adjusting (tables downloaded onto the chip), but not more.
And I'm not saying you can't abuse that, but I will never understand how people can demand to do nothing that can be abused. There's a risk and we have to minimize it.

Doesn't need to be the companies actually knowing anything. One guy would be enough.

I would score you up for being funny if I had any moderating points. (If the Earth wouldn't be curved there wouldn't be a horizon.)

Since the ships are meant to be reusable and fly more than once from Earth to Mars there must be return trips involved.

Which IDE can not embed a browser (to show docs or whatever)? Even Textmate on the Mac does that. Are you stuck in 1980?

Emacs comes with a vi emulator since ages.
Even iOS supports Emacs key combos on the iPhone or iPad for editing if you use a BlueTooth keyboard. This is some legacy...
If in doubt just install Google Maps...

You won't be around much longer anyway.

So the US also is in he EU? Never knew that! Looks even worse at least...
There's one information missing here: Using an uncertified app is illegal now and you can be fined just for using it.

iMessage doesnt require a cellular radio.
