"Natural satellite" is a subset of "satellite", thus what you'd call them is correct by definition. Let's let the astronomers with credibility play and name the objects.
Your turn. Please do try to disprove the law of conservation of energy.

The CPU's heatspreader is not connected to any leads on the CPU. The case should be grounded through the power supply, therefore, it should be like touching ground with static charge.
It's very impractical/expensive for mass products to make the surfaces in question so flat that no thermal paste would be needed. Many tests and reviews have been done. Even if top-of-the-line coolers came with perfectly flat surfaces, Intel's heatspreader is not -- otherwise it would cost so much more. Also, heatsinks can be applied with a lot of force, which usually pushes out the "unneeded" part of the thermal paste. In a bind, even lipstick, toothpaste, chocolate and other silly compounds work better than nothing, so I'm not surprised that you're getting ok results even with a touch of thermal paste.
A fun thing to try is using a modern low-end CPU (latest i3s, Pentiums, Celerons) without its cooler. Not advised by Intel, of course, but you might get into your OS of choice even before it starts throttling. I'm somewhat comforted by the fact that a CPU automatically powers of once it reaches something above 100 C (103 maybe?) and throttles a few degrees before that. Those temperatures shouldn't leave the silicon damaged.
In practice, thermal paste is a must. If you don't like those (I personally don't, they get everywhere by accident and can be tough to remove), try getting an IC Graphite Thermal Pad which is reusable and rivals really good, if not the best thermals pastes, according to the limited number of reviews I've seen. I think that its practicality beats better results in non-highest-end applications.
Blender might throttle. Does it come with benchmarks/tests that I could use to gauge thermal performance?
The CPU is delidded! I've got another i3 4300 delidded as well running under a NoFan CR-80EH. Delid + Conductonaut + Kryonaut made the difference between throttling vs hovering around 90 C in FurMark + Prime 95. When integrated graphics aren't used, the CPU runs cooler, of course, and didn't throttle with MX4 thermal paste and no delid.
I do fear that VRMs are running too hot. When selecting components, I picked those that come with some heatsinks on VRMs at least. The motherboard is an AsRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac (non ITX motherboard wouldn't fit in the case anyway with an ATX power supply). The graphics card is Gigabyte's cheapest offering and has a small sink across the VRMs. I'm hoping that undervolting will help keep the VRMs in check.
NSG S0, once out, will most likely be the go-to case for such setups. Until then, an HDPLEX H5 is cool.
My desk has a H5 on it, housing an i7 8700 (non-K) and a GTX 1060. The TIM under the heatspreader is replaced with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is used as every other TIM that the case setup needs. The CPU is on stock clocks with a voltage offset of -30 mV. The GPU has the power target reduced to 90% and clocks increased by 130 MHz, so that it is effectively undervolted as well. The PSU is a Seasonic Ultra Prime Titanium 650. Prime95 with AVX throttles really, really fast, under a minute, perhaps, but is a very unrealistic load. Non-AVX stress tests and FurMark take a while to start throttling (20 minutes?), as the thermal capacity of the aluminum case is quite big. After hours of gaming, the GPU and CPU float around 80 C while providing full stock performance. I don't do 3D rendering (other than in-game) or video en/decoding, so have not had long, real-world, full loads to see how temperatures behave with those.
From the discussion I've had and forums I've read, I think that people are afraid of putting more power in passive cases and having their components at "high" temperatures, despite those being rated for them.
Yes, an employer can mandate that employees use password managers for work-related accounts and are already doing it, from my experience. Also, for the precise reason you say, corp accounts exist. Employees in some companies already can't turn off 2FA for some accounts whether they want it or not.
Let's not reinvent solved problems. Questions are not endless.
The information does not start out in fewer bytes. It starts out in all the bytes that represent the 3D models of entities you're interacting with in your game and the textures to cover them, at least. That's usually more bytes than needed to show a 32 bit 4K picture. The rendering process reduces all the jungle you have in your VRAM to a few kB that are briefly shown on your screen.
It seems like you don't know the basics of 3D graphics nor the basics of video encoding. It is extra work and would save some bandwidth needed to pump the picture to the display, which is not an issue in 3D graphics (we have dedicated cables).
Easier to get out of the vehicle in case of emergencies, when the door is stuck, or easier to see which side of the vehicle is unsafe to exit, easier for humans to take over in emergencies when they have vision outside of the vehicle.
Similar reasons apply to any vehicle which is not driven by you. Bus, airplane, train...
With so many satellites in the sky, I think those effects will be exactly as you said, a few (<10 ms) milliseconds in the worst case, depending on how aggressive the hopping from sat to sat is.
Accelerate the most demanding tasks of your server's workload. Crypto, audio/video encoding, compression, database lookups, neural network training, computational fluid dynamics, numerical mathematics, high frequency trading etc.
