As a result of this observation, some employers have abandoned the salary negotiation process, and instead just calculate a take-it-or-leave-it offer based on experience and qualifications.
Ignoring for a moment the male/female discussion, that's a stupid way to do business.
Most cars electronics are shielded though, so much of this is kind of worthless, now.
They still need plenty of wires to penetrate the shielding. Of course, all the wires are EMI filtered, but only for normal levels of interference, not 300 kW aimed directly at the vehicle.
The (land) phone lines, electricity, water, sewer, natural gas, roads/sidewalks and cable TV connections to YOUR house (and everybody else's) are Natural Monopolies [wikipedia.org], where the capital costs are so high for last-mile coverage that "easily switching to a competitor" isn't possible because there aren't any and never will be.
I can choose between half dozen ADSL ISPs, and about the same number of electricity providers, despite only having a single fixed line for either.
Practicing anywhere on earth for mars isn't anywhere as realistic as practicing on the moon, as there is still gravity on earth that is higher than on mars
Gravity on the Moon isn't like Mars either. Plus, there's a lot of stuff that can be tested that isn't dependent on gravity. Big advantage of testing on Earth is that it's dirt cheap.
Probably the most relevant reason is the idea of people surviving off the 'grid', way off the grid for extended periods of time.
You don't need to practice on the Moon. Go build a self-sufficient habitat in the desert in Nevada. Only allow people outside in a space suit, slow down communication, and limit every transport to what could be done on a rocket.
Luckily the Earth's resources are infinite and it will always be habitable.
Mars and the Moon are not habitable either, and they aren't exactly good places to find resources. Our effort is better spent preserving what we have here.
You ignores the very basic idea of entanglement that is: "If I change a property of a entangled particle (spin, polarization, etc), that state automatically reflects on the other particle".
That's not how it works. You can read a property of a particle, and learn something about its entangled pair.
But if you change a property, you break the entanglement.
You cannot entangle two objects while they are at a distance. You entangle them first, then separate them, then you measure them. The measurements are random but correlated. You cannot, not even theoretically, transfer information over the channel at the time of measurement.

That said, I do salute them and the setup will almost certainly evolve
You don't "evolve" from non-orbital to orbital. It's a complete redesign.
Frankly, I'm surprised that they are still putting so much effort in non-orbital test flights.
Water absorption in the RF band is actually very wide. The reason that microwaves use 2.45 GHz is because that band is free for unlicensed use.

A car is not a Faraday cage. There are plenty of holes and gaps between panels.

According to the President, Russia is our ally, our great friend, who we should respect and celebrate.
So, why is he attacking them in Syria ?

It isn't, but you asked me what to do with NASA's budget.
Biosphere 2 didn't have a mass/size budget limited by realistic rockets. Also, it was a failure. Looks like there's still a bit of work to do.
Are you suggesting that people who pay taxes should be required to pay the full amount for everything before they get a say?
No.
Remote exploration. Basically the stuff they've doing already, except for the ISS, which should be deorbited.

He earned those contracts himself.
There's hardly a point in having knowledge for its own sake if we aren't going to act on that knowledge.
Sometimes we're just curious. We look at far away pulsars and black holes without any plans to colonize them.

We are not sure of anything, but that's the theory. And all the experiments we've done match the theory.
If you consider a wavefront to be "information,"
It isn't. Only the waves can be used to transmit information, and they are not going faster than light.
First, the tower is grounded and at the same potential as earth. The primary concern is not electric shock.

No. The channel is always instantaneous. There cannot be any communication.
You need to divide the number of people by the number of yearly launches to get a more useful metric.
