Taxing it in the United States will just push these tourism operators outside of US jurisdiction. How many major Cruise Ships are flying a US flag (almost none).
Moreover,
  Mr. Musk has US, South African, and Canadian citizenship. He can pack up and move if any one country gets too greedy.
  Sir Branson is (obviously) a UK subject and not a US citizen. His US holdings can easily move to the BVI or any other British Overseas Territory.
  Mr. Bezos is the only of the space faring trio who is burdened with solely US citizenship.

Futhark looks cool: https://futhark-lang.org/ and promising in this realm.

"Futhark is a small programming language designed to be compiled to efficient parallel code. It is a statically typed, data-parallel, and purely functional array language in the ML family, and comes with a heavily optimising ahead-of-time compiler that presently generates GPU code via CUDA and OpenCL"

the ML family of languages being things like Standard-ML, Haskell, OcaML.

Indeed it is. My last trip there was so bad that I am reluctant to ever go back. It wasn't just seeing poop and piss on the streets- it was seeing people pooping and pissing on the streets in plain view. My wife and I had to step over a frothy stream of piss on the sidewalk from a woman squatting against a wall 5 feet from me near the trolly stop while staring at me with her pants around her ankles.

Google and Amazon both say its negligible.

Second try, I guess Admin/password didn't work.

My Dad's TRS-80 Model III was the first I can recall using. I was about 3, and I like to press the clicky red reset button on it. I think he didn't enjoy that, as he was probably working on something at the time. A kid can be worse than a cat when it comes to computer interference.
The first I owned, as a gift, was a Color Computer II, with the game cartridges like Doubleback, and Megamunchers. Didn't do much computing on it. Then we got a Commodore 64 and Vic 20 parts. Never got the Vic 20 going, but we had fun with the Commodore 64. The school, where my Dad was a teacher had his Model III, and a Model IV, and a bunch of Apple ][, and ][e computers. Soon there was an 8088 as well.

I have the same feeling. With some services where I don't care if I lose access if I stop using my Facebook account, I'll have it sign in for me. Otherwise I try to sign up directly on the site I'm registering for to use.

I wish the engineering world worked as you described. And yes, I am an engineer (Master's in geological engineering, and my PE/P.Eng thank you very much).

The sad truth is that there is a hell of lot of engineering time spent on mundane work that can and should be automated away --most of my life was spent pushing around columns in excel, hunting down typos, and debugging god awful analyses written in excel. I jokingly refer to heavy infrastructure engineering (I did landslides, soils, mines, tunnels, rail, etc.) as the place where technology goes to die.

Most of the clients demand cost-reimbursable billed hour contracts, so it's also where efficiency goes to die. Better to have a junior engineer spend 4 weeks pushing data around and billing it out than optimizing that task so the engineer can spend their 'guru time' thinking about concrete loadings, failure modes, gaps in the design. I picked up a lot of fortran, R, python, and even lisp on the job working on automating the garbage tasks that took up 75% of my time so I could spend more time/budget on actual important design implementation issues (so I could sleep easy at night when I stamped designs). Saving 5-10% budget was appreciated (we can win more contracts!) but figuring out how to do something 2x, 3x, 4x as fast was not ("We won't make any money because we aren't billing enough hours!").

This is why I'm back at school doing a Master's in statistics/machine learning --couldn't handle the amount of BS tasks that should have been automated away keeping me away from the interesting and challenging parts of my job, with no improvements in sight. I do not miss nightmares analyses (for an earthquake soils design of an LNG plant) spread across _3,000_ excel sheets and 60+ directories, combining the output of multiple different versions of garbage software run by different teams in different countries. Oh god. Doing the quality control on that? Nope. Nope. Nope. That was two months of my life I'm not getting back. And this was with a well known, highly reputable design firm!

But can we hack it?

50 years ago is 1965. When did global warming start? Not then, not even after WW II which caused a huge mount of CO2 from human carbon units.

Tax'em more types never did explain why Mars polar caps melted some. But this Asteroid could have slowed down earth's rotation around the sun and the orbit around the sun dropped ever so slightly as it was trapped into orbit. But hey, tax us more could not tax heads or food, so tax the CO2 to make food for the overpopulated planet. ANY added mass requires a math cleanup of assumptions of orbits.

Food for thought, but in the end, we are only here for the ride on planet earth. Be a good place for aliens to watch us barbarian backwards humans from. I figure aliens would not want us polluting their culture as the would certainly be more evolved and rational than us as a species.

Protectionism taxing American business just drives up costs and makes them less competitive.

Better find a better solution. As protectionism on a country level is like a snake eating its own tail. The more you protect, the more uncompetative the nation becomes. How many offices will buy furniture at say $20,000 for a basic metal desk and chair, then be able to compete?

Its why the existing protectionism taxes for rich and unions is not working. A Chinese or Indian can buy a nice car for only $10,000, pay less than half to maintain it, thus they can work for less. Cannot keep inflating the economics with debt, false hope, BS, higher costs of government.

But hey, some career government glass house mentality types have a lye for ya. False hope for a vote. And over $9 trillion of added debt to support with little benefiting the main stream middle class. Ya, government is working hard, but not business/job smart. Working hard doing the wrong things as the wrong things are not politically correct/corrupt enough.

Bingo. Its about over paid executives, employment costs, cost of living with $9 trillion more ObamaDebt, more ClintonDebt a coming. Obama care, local utility, steel, supply costs... combined with poor costly designs.

Clinton is clueless glass house career government does not have the solution, nether does Sanders. Trump is only half right, Chinese are more efficient, economical and include value as part of quality. They are lean, efficient and effective. Something America once had and lost. With debt inflating the economy, Americans can't compete. And its not the workers fault, its the corruption of government thinking debt is free. Its not, just how and who pays for it. $19 trillion of virtual worthless money drives up costs.

Trump is right in that Americans paying 70% for NATO, feeding a ever increasing government bloat, wasteful wars with a WW II mentality, sending money to nations like Pakistan, Ukraine to feed corruption and in Pakistan case, unlike Iran, they reall do have nkes. But few will ask corruption politicians about political posturing that makes no sense. Ruin countries like Syria, trying to overthrow ELECTED Assad, while funneling defense support to dictator Saudi. Wake up people, ISIS butchers are carrying Obama/Hillary purchased weapons!!!

And you pay in debt, taxes, dysfunctional government. And why I like Trump. Trump will shake it up. As Wall Street buys politicians and look the next step and see who the big depositors are...dare ya.

As a Canadian too, you do not tax much on Canadian beef heading to the USA. But up to 234% taxes and fees on American beef going north. What a crappy deal Clinton and lobby driven politics gave America. Pretty one sided right? Gets worse too, INS gives green cards to illegals easier than the lawyer legal method for Canadians, but that another story.

Political correctness is double talk for political corruption. This is a lot more complex than "blame the Chinese" mentality. Protectionism is really a tax on people trying to compete. If an office costs 5 times as much, makes your companies less competative. Someone let it happen. And to borrow from Einstein...

Insanity: Voting the same way for the same idiots a lying, expecting better results.
