That depends on the reason you think they should go out of business. That they sued an honest person over a true statement seems to me a good reason that they should go out of business. (Not that I think they will.)

Getting it to land on the Moon is relatively trivial. Getting it to land safely is as hard as reusable space craft, but different in many ways.
OTOH, its been done several times, so the expertise exists. (OTTH, remember that some have landed and tipped over.)

I wouldn't count it a safe trip, Not the first few times he does it. And presumably it needs to be a round-trip to count as a success.

No. You could record the original "seed" and reuse it. Since that would produce the same results, the results aren't random, even if you never actually record the original parameters. Unpredictable and random aren't quite the same concept.

Actually that's sort of true. Algorithms can't generate actually random results...but the results can be so nearly random that there's no way to tell. But it's not really random because if you compute the exact same algorithm a second time with the exact same parameters you get the same result. AFAIK, meaning in this context isn't well defined.

More to the point, with regard to 4, if you only simulate a small portion of the (apparent) universe you don't need to simulate anything outside the lightcone. And most of what you simulate will be empty space.

Of course, the longer the period simulated, the larger a lightcone you'll need to simulate.

Open source does not imply free access to the application. The concepts are related, but far from identical. I once bought a commercial compiler where the source code was included with the purchase. That's open source, but not libre-free. (You can argue about whether the source was gratis-free, because the price was the same whether you got the source or not.)

I don't know about default, but I don't have GNOME desktop installed, though I have a few of their tools. I use Mate and a few KDE tools, though the integration between those two has gotten worse recently.

And it's a reasonable thing to worry about. And effective ways to address the worry have been mentioned in several prior posts. But the problem with corrupt government is that it's unreasonable to trust it, even when it's being honest.

It wouldn't shut the government up, but it would undercut them with anyone who wasn't a "true believer".

Nobody knows what Jesus taught. If anyone knew, it was the Nazarenes who were killed by a Roman army under the orders of a Christian general. What we've got are second or third hand documents and a lot of word of mouth. (Have you ever played "telephone"? That tells you how reliable you should consider it.)

Well, during the middle ages the "holy spirit" was the term frequently used to refer to sperm. So I believe in it. (Which is weird, because "spirit" originally meant "breath". Probably because both meant "life", but that's a guess.)

My examination lead me to a 50% chance that Jesus was an antique version of Adam Selene. A 30% chance that he was a political rebel against the Romans. And a 20% chance that he was an Essene myth. (Don't take those percentages very seriously, they're "order of magnitude" approximations.)

OTOH, my priors are such that it would take very strong evidence to convince me that someone went around performing miracles. In just the last century we had both Aleister Crowley and Gurdjief, both of which were quite willing to perform frauds in the promotion of their philosophy.

Bad example. You should have picked Pascal or someone like him. (OTOH, I've got an extremely intelligent friend who believes in Big Foot. Intelligent people believe what they believe, but aren't always reasonable in their selection of the evidence they consider sound.)

Nope. But people were generally unwilling to face them down. Christianity has been on a power trip for multiple centuries. Probably since the Roman Emperor Constantine, though there were probably some time and place in there when they were less abusive.

Until you can train mentats, that's not going to happen.
