What are your thoughts on how technology advancement in the next 30 years would change the way of this kind of rescue mission? Say in 2040, can a group of robots finish the mission in one day with ease? That will be awesome, people can be rescued from bad situations much sooner.

Wikipedia is the best website for following: 1. Current events. 2. Sports tournaments. The information entropy level is quite high, with basically no ads, extremely good formatting (relevant tables, charts etc.), and relatively unbiased. This doesn't even mention the benefit of getting simple background information on the subjects with just a simple click (or even a hover these days) It's really a treasure.
I find it even good for medical conditions, condensed history of major events, understanding geography and biography of actors, sportspersons and politicians. Actually, isn't it the * best * first website to learn about anything?

And what did you do to help? He was asked if he could do anything and tried.
I didn't do anything to help- I don't think saving 12 people in a Thailand cave means a lot, globally speaking. Why do you say he was asked to do something? He offered to help. More realistically, however, he should have chosen to stay out of the way- he didn't get his device to the site until the rescue operation was already half completed. It wouldn't have worked anyway- it wasn't fit for the purpose. Getting a bun…
The question was put to him by random people on Twitter, not by the Thai government. His initial response that he thought the Thai government had it in hand.

Honest question: what are you talking about?
Trump. Immigrants' children. I'm not from US and never been to US either. But many of these stories are heart-breaking.
Here is Jeh Johnson talking about the separation of kids from their arrested parents: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/06/24/obama_dhs...
But several years ago nobody really cared, which tells me, nobody really cares that much now — it’s just yet another tool to generate the rabid hysteria necessary to bolster midterm elections prospects.
Every week it’s literally another outrage, while the previous week’s outrage is quickly forgotten. This shouldn’t be a political thread, but since someone seems to be following the “outrage playbook” by making a comment about the detention of those arrested for illegal immigration under Trump, but likely never said anything when it happened under prior administrations —- it is important that we call out political manipulation when we see it.
Perhaps if those opposing Trump had actually protested about kid-detention years ago when it started, maybe I might consider their outrage genuine. But now, people are using detained children for political gain, which is pretty disgusting in my opinion.
It’s fasionable to pretend to hate Trump, I get it. But it’s funny how people seem to fall all over themselves to express how “woke” they are. Implying that before Trump they were all sleeping? Because in the case of detained children, they sure as hell were sleeping — because their guy was in the White House.

The coach. He shared what little rations they had, and his condition was visibly worse than the children by the time they were found. He also helped them by teaching them meditation, so as not to focus on their hunger.
> He also helped them by teaching them meditation, so as not to focus on their hunger. Learning meditation is hard. Learning meditation when you are scared, hungry and in such a bad situation is extra hard. So if the guy pulled it off with 12 terrorized famished kids for 9 days, he deserves his own temple.
You really have to love Wikipedia. It's barely a week old and you already have a page with so many references and detailed information. Thank you, all the anonymous contributors.

I find learning mathematical concepts from Wikipedia very difficult
