Space nutter detected. Use of the terms "other rock" confirms it. You forgot to mention "gravity well" though. Here is something though: there is no way a human can live on Mars. Mars has no atmosphere, radiation, toxic dust and has a different gravity. One of those things would kill a human quickly. No one is going anywhere. It is time you guys focused on fixing the things you don't like about Earth, rather than dreaming of leaving it. It won't happen. There isn't a habitable planet that we can physically reach (ever).
"A smartphone app could detect the freefall as well as that it is still on the person. If connected to cameras around the area it might be able to spot the best surface to hit. Guiding the arms and legs of the person to positions that will fly them toward that while minimizing downward airspeed would be problematic. That would seem to require either an exoskeleton (maybe a soft motor one) built into clothing or some muscle control interface like those being experimented with on paralyzed people. So that's a stretch today. As for having to find a roof or car to hit, that might be made less necessary with something like a personal explosive airbag and some means of ground proximity detection."
Sounds like most of your "scientist" friends like living off of grants doing useless "research". The "researchers" here weren't making a joke, they were trying to prove a point. Unfortunately the point was already understood by anyone with half a brain. It sounds like you don't understand it yourself if you think it was hilarious.
This self-driving car only needs one driver. Uber self-driving cars require two drivers. I'm going to start a self driving car company, but it will need three drivers.
None of that matters because the endpoints are being monitored. What is strange to me is how people think just because something is encrypted, it is secure. It isn't. The endpoints are where the monitoring/data access is going on. There are no spies sitting on a room desperately trying to MITM/crack SSL connections. They simply call up the corporations and ask for access to their endpoints. The corporations gladly hand it over because they don't want the gravy train to stop. And the "dark web" isn't dark at all as a lot of people recently found out.
I'm not hopeful at all. The vast majority of end user internet access at this point is from closed devices running god-knows-what-code from closed app stores to centralized systems. It only takes the ISPs/networks to disallow all other uses via traffic blocking, in the name of copyright protection, or terrorism, or whatever. Ironically these systems were all built upon open source technologies, but everyone ignored GPLv3 and this is what we get.
Visionary, but like a lot of those types they don't understand inertia and how greed and control will eventually win out. We could have had decentralized services a long time ago, but they weren't profitable enough. In 2018 the Internet is more centralized than ever before. Eventually it will become just another system, like cable TV. You will have your issued "internet access device" and will only run approved services and software and be fully monitored. Most internet access is like that already (mobile devices).
Yeah, I don't get it either. Sounds like a complete waste of time. The computer solved the problem and was based on digital electronics not the amoeba. It controlled an amoeba. You could do the same experiment with mice, or ants, or people, or whatever.
You can launch wherever you want. Just don't have a ground station in the US without a license to communicate with the satellite. If this was an Indian company with their ground stations in India then they would just need to play by India's rules.
Right, the thief would just throw the package away, but the YT "star" would go and get the package. Because that is what people do. How naive are people?
Oh and then the YT guy went and retrieved the package, right? Even though the package was squirted with "fart gas", right. But the thief wouldn't do that. He would just leave it. But the YT guy would go and get it. I mean really, how dumb are you?
Who cares if they were GPS tracked? You wouldn't get them back. They would get destroyed by the thief or thrown out. Plus they would smell like "fart spray" (right)? Complete baloney.
If you get blacklisted by the owners you dont get mod points. You probably said something that one of the owners didn't agree with at some point and were put on the blacklist.

Spy satellite. Thanks SpaceX.
Thanks for the update.

Christ. Where is the "app" guy when you need him?

Are you one of those Electric Universe nutters? If so, please get a real education. Until then, please stop.

Makes sense!
And the Googles, and the Apples, and the ISPs and the wireless providers, and the VPNs, and the TOR gateways, and...
Cryptocurrency isn't even anonymous. I don't even understand cryptocurrency nuts.
We aren't building anything. Crypto isn't something recently invented. Internet 2.0 will be corporate controlled.
Netflix is fine for one-way services, but there is no reason two-way services like messaging shouldn't be decentralized. Netflix is cable tv.
Nope they aren't catching everything. I'm sure you are fine.
Yes I do think they are monitoring VPN endpoints. No, they are not breaking crypto (I just said that). They are monitoring the endpoints.
The Gettysburg address was 272 words.

Then the FCC would just amend their charter to cover what technology is used.
