You still get to see the world from above the clouds. Just instead of one little 8x10 oval viewport, you have your choice of camera views, some of which you can choose independent control over.
The plane is actually much safer without a bunch of holes in the fuselage, to provide points of failure. That and as long as you're building virtual reality holodecks for first class passengers (this is Emirates Airlines after all) why not go all the way and make it a very lightweight and strong titanium box with its own parachute in case of terrorist attack?
What I don't get is the reference to fiber optic technology. ALL of this could have been done with 1995 technology using merely CCTV and small CCD cameras. Well, maybe. I guess we did have to wait for flatscreens due to weight considerations. But there is no need to go fiber for streaming video to what, about 300 passengers maximum?
The force is utterly destroyed by the annoying SJW robot L3. She (YES, SHE, Lando is not "pansexual" but is clearly attracted to a very female and high strung feminist robot) behaves just as insanely as every other SJW I've ever met, and the entire movie is clearly more about her than about Han Solo.
Most all of us are on the Federal Do Not Call List. In the occasional case that makes it to court, it's a nice small bonus paycheck once in a while for your trouble.
Not so sure about the Fishing Fleet and its benefit to other nations, though I've heard about 90% of the crab and salmon catch ends up in Japan and South Korea.
Actually, we fund 4 separate Navies that protect and enable to world's trade routes. Three of which are civilian, but all of which get government subsidies in one form or another. All four are duplicated by rival nations, but it's pretty clear the US Military Navy and it's 13 carrier groups are the ones you call when you have trouble; and anything that enters US territorial waters is going to get the services of the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine.
And of course, the day your house burns down in a 15-alarm fire, the firetrucks are going to need those extra roads you paid for.
It is not that simple to judge. However, if we are truly generating 2000 million of economic activity on 80 million of cost, it occurs to me a 4% business use tax on this data would not be horribly unreasonable.
and Stalin was a communist. Come on, I'm a Marxist from long back, and even I recognize the issues as issues.
Fidel was at least as murderous as Stalin, he just had a better place to dump the bodies. Stalin only had Siberia, Fidel could dump into the ocean to feed the sharks.

When you are too biased, the center often looks to be the other side.
It's certainly preferable to the scratched up and fogged up viewports I've had on airplanes.
That's even stupider- when you can build a CCD device that sits on the skin of the aircraft so flush that it doesn't even create any wind resistance.
This is Emirates Airlines we're talking about. The people who charge $15,000 a ticket and give you a bed seat and an in-flight shower.

Charge $1 for each killowatt used over 40,000 in a month, and you'll see the whole problem change
And rice isn't good for you anyway. Increased warming and CO2 concentration WILL lead to increased Quinoa production, which is much better for you.
It's NEVER more inconvenient to the bad guys than the users.
Is nobody worried that the President is basically using the same security methodology as a bank robber?
Burner phones. Zero trust. What have we come to.

Military Navy, Merchant Marine, Coast Guard, and Fishing Fleet; are the four.
Not sure where you'd get the other two from?

If you haven't noticed, the United States has been a proud kleptocracy since 1941.

because of Seeber's Social Placebo Uncertainty Paradox: Letting the people know you are collecting data on them changes their response to the data.
In other words, autistics.
