Australia goes all the way to about 10 degrees south of the equator. Kourou is at about 5 degrees north. Why do you say that there is no advantage there? In terms of, say, moving a launch site from Canaveral to Kourou, you're basically 90% there in terms of getting Kourou's equatorial advantages.
Her chief competitor, International Business Machines, made devices that relied on electronic relays and tapes, not semiconductor chips.
This is absolute bullshit. IBM was one of the leaders in digital circuit packaging at that time. Fuck, they already had standardized semiconductor logical modules five years before this alleged invention. Electronic relays, my ass.
The problem is the ambiguous definition. Sure, it may have been the first turnkey word-processing hardware system (a *very* limited one), but word processing in general existed before (and was even more advanced that this system - quality type justification programs were available for the PDP-1, for example).
To escape the solar system, allowing for earth's orbital velocity, you need to be expelled from the surface at more than double that speed.
That's actually almost meaningless. You can no more achieve 17 km/s than you can achieve 11 km/s. Basically the problem is that the combination of high velocity and dense atmosphere at low altitude AND passive flight after ejection means you need to reach a HIGH initial velocity with a LARGE solid object (to survive the atmospheric exit), but that's only possible with a truly massive impact as you point out. In addition, besides hitting Earth in the first place, it would also probably have to hit a place where human artifacts are present in a protective sedimentary rock (to survive the ejection). Which means that the impactor would have to have hit very recently a place where there was human presence very early on - which is a small part of Africa, not the whole surface of Earth. We know of no such events, and in this case, it very likely means that no similar event happened.
Foreign Function Interface (FFI), allowing programmers to write inline C code inside PHP scripts.
It's not FFI that allows to write inline code. With an FFI, you can access foreign object code. So which one is it? Does it have an FFI, or inline foreign code?

1969, then?
"Also, we've removed all instances of 'java' as well."
Because they are NOT REQUIRED for solar and wind power. We have ways of making do without them.
that creates a No-Fly-Zone for drones by remotely hacking any drone that enters the area and forcing it to land
Woohoo, an artificially intelligent machine! Finally!
We've had emulators since forever after all.
Actually, the German estimate was a manufacturing cost of $28k total. That doesn't mean it can't go any lower in the future.
Also the money you shell out at the pump.
Both Virgin and BO are working on orbital launchers. That also needs to be mentioned in every news story about those companies, as per your reasoning.
Which is not the same as "altitude at which space is said to begin".

Turns out word processing as a concept already existed and she was just the first to digitize the process
How does it make sense to say that when this actually happened a decade earlier, around 1960 or so?

The whole article is garbage.
Myself, very. When it comes to technical history, I'm absolutely obnoxious.

Neural Networks have literally been around since the 1960s and have very limited uses.
Well, so do you, so where's the problem? ;)
I guess we found Neil deGrasse Tyson's alt account...

But given Earth's escape velocity and dense atmosphere, it's extremely unlikely.
We apply and get accepted based on college criteria, for free.
Yep, and those criteria commonly include tests.
Too late. ;)
More regulation is a freer market??
Yep, that's how it works for natural monopolies.
Yet we didn't see so much censorship on the internet til AFTER NN was pushed though by the left.
How do you call it when a facepalm punches right through your head?
Notice how sites like youtube started doing most their censoring of people's views while NN has been in place?
Youtube is not a censor, it's a private organization.
We already know it was the Red October.
Blockchain is fundamentally changing the way industries do business, from traditional banking to supply chain management
it IS?
Probably not.
