Not really. Ships don't just go out to the middle of the ocean and drive around in circles. When deployed they spend most of their time in port. Even when out at sea it's rarely a problem getting small parts to a ship by helicopter; bigger parts usually require a visit to a shipyard anyway. Plus what usually breaks down is electronic.

You are almost correct. You cannot reach an orbital plane that is inclined less than your launch site's latitude. So you can reach any orbit from the Equator.

Once launched you cannot "change the orbital plane", that would take almost as much energy as the initial launch. In theory it's possible but the rockets we have are nowhere near light and powerful enough

Even Amnesty International stated that the surveillance doesn't appear to be illegal under current law.

You repeated what GP said.

He has no insight.

The premise is that only this year's bonus matters, and that a short and planned outage this year will cost him more than keeping the plant operating efficiently in the long term. That's absurd.

So what this really shows is how often the same two buzzwords appear together in a job description posted on Dice.

I found another comment in his report interesting:

I assume by "lower quality" he really means "people list every buzzword they can think of on the resumes posted on Dice".

Given the inputs I wouldn't expect any surprises in the results. But that said, it's an interesting project and they did a very nice job with the visualization.
