Ah, the old 'Falcon Heavy hasn't flown so Musk sucks' argument.
The biggest reason Falcon Heavy hasn't flown is that there's no been no need for it. It was meant to launch the big payloads while Falcon 9 launched the smaller ones, but Falcon 9 has been upgraded so much that it can now launch all but the very largest payloads.
The second biggest reason is that starting 27 engines and separating two booster stages in mid-flight turned out to be harder than they expected. BFR, or whatever it ends up being called, will use a very different design.
'Spinoff' arguments are almost entirely bogus, because if you wanted those technologies, you could have just spent the money on developing them and forgotten the whole man-in-spam-can thing.
"Let him. He won't do it because he's all hot air. "
Yeah, I mean just look at his rocket company. Whatever happened to that?
I'm no Musk fanboy, and I think Tesla is a massively-overvalued dead end (except to the extent that self-driving electric vehicles will be very useful on Mars), but there's no denying that he's revolutionized the rocket business. His Mars plans are optimistic, but there's nothing impossible about them.
"America pissed away its future on wars and entitlements."
Bingo. When I was a kid, we were going to have people living on the Moon and Mars by the time I graduated from university. Instead, we got a bloated welfare state, and entire industries which do nothing but cater to insane SJWs who self-identify as unicorns.
Manned spaceflight produces very little science, and most of it is science about how humans live in space.
But it's not really true. Congress need to stop telling NASA to waste billions of dollars a year building rockets that will cost billions of dollars per launch and have no funded payloads. Then NASA could afford to do something useful.
Microsoft have grown fat and lazy thanks to the Windows and Office lock-in, where they could release any old crap and users had little choice but to buy it. They're simply unable to build new products that users would want to buy.
These things are gen 1.5 devices which will be antiquated in a couple of years and obsolete in a couple more. Most people will have replaced them well before then.
Usually, if you read the small print, it means something like 'someone who was seriously ill and would have died a few weeks later anyway.' In other words, pretty much totally irrelevant to anything but the Green agenda.
They don't need to create a negative view of Silicon Valley when the companies are doing that so eagerly themselves.
Now most of those companies are SJW-converged and politics is job #1, no sane person is going to look at them in a positive light again. It's probably no coincidence that the two least evil big tech companies are based in Seattle.
And, heck, what kind of world are we living in when Microsoft is the second LEAST evil big tech company?
"Both the extreme left AND extreme right hate the Jews."
That's because the supposed 'far right' are actually just a different faction of the far left. Everyone I know on the real extreme right is a supporter of Israel.
This'll be why the Israeli media in the run-up to the last election was telling US Jews to vote Republican because the Democrats are full of anti-semites.
"Blumenthal Sr. is a proud father. He regularly shared his son’s ravings with Clinton, and she shared his delight. In eight separate emails over the course of her tenure in office, Clinton enthusiastically praised his Jew-hating propaganda."
So you think it's bad to tell developers that they shouldn't ship malware to their customers?
As for making a decent living, our customers get the source code to all our software. Mostly because they need about $3,000,000 of our hardware to run it, so it's pretty much useless to anyone who doesn't buy that from us.
But we do real work, rather than pushing malware on our customers.
I know a lot of people who've switched from Goolag to Bing in the last few weeks. It's hard to say this, but Microsoft actually appears to be one of the least evil big tech companies right now.

"What are you defining as "science"? "
You know. Science.
'Spinoff' arguments are almost entirely bogus, because if you wanted those technologies, you could have just spent the money on developing them and forgotten the whole man-in-spam-can thing.

None. If it can't make things locally, it's not going to survive. You can't just ship a spare part to Mars overnight when it breaks.

The resolution of current headsets is too low for dealing with lots of text. I believe the Samsung's resolution is higher, but not by that much.
Give it a few more years, then try again.

What's the definition used in this study?
They don't need to create a negative view of Silicon Valley when the companies are doing that so eagerly themselves.

A lot of SJWs are going to be out of work, and unemployable in the real world?

But, hey, SJWs always lie.
Disney is going to rape over the coals until it stops making them money.
If you want to see an end to crappy Star Wars movies, stop watching them.
Dude, it's a Disney Princess movie. If you're taking it that seriously, you probably need some Testosterone injections.
No, it would be a good thing to NOT have unstable power generation.
Just because the left want us to live like third-world peasants who can't rely on having a stable electrical supply doesn't make it a good idea.
"Tell me a phone that doesn't have Facebook pre-installed, and you can't delete it."
iPhone.
This crap is pretty much exclusive to Android. It's another reason I dumped my Android phone last year.

"it's to everybody's benefit not to overload the grid"
No, it's to everybody's benefit for the power company to have enough power generation capability to meet demand.
"Even if you just wear it at home and lock the door behind you (highly recommended) still leaves "dork marks" on your face for hours after using it."
If it does, you're wearing it wrong.
"it works quite well."
For a few thousand aircraft. Vs a few billion drones.
If the movies weren't crap, I might actually care.

Yes. Let's give the cops completely insecure phones. What could possibly go wrong?
