Seems to me that he's trying to pull an Amazon on the electric vehicle world. Remember when Amazon was a startup and bleeding cash from every orifice. They only sold books, often at a loss, but there mantra was to satisfy the customer at any cost to gain marketshare. At this point, they are almost synonymous with online shopping.
Does it also call bullshit on truckers getting speeding ticket with the clutch pushed in?
I know someone (not me. Really. It wasn't me.), who was doing 90mph down a hill of Kentucky with the truck out of gear. The fastest the truck would do on a level plain was 80mph.
I bought a surround surroundbar from Vizio for my TV. It has an app to allow you to control it from your phone or tablet. It wanted permission to report it's location with the explanation that it would help it to find "wireless networks". Why a glorified remote control would need to find networks is a problem, but reporting home about where I'm at is out of the question. I just refused to install it and used the remote.
Look at what happened to CB radio (at least in the US), the original "open platform" for communication. It was eventually discovered that most people have absolutely nothing to say.
The inventors of the TV also thought it would be used for the average person to see plays and listen to symphonies.
That is interesting, but how would you resolve the following:
I grow up in an Appalachian shack, but I work all my life as a lumberjack and develop substantial wealth to establish social worth of $100,000. Trump gets a million dollar loan from his dad after a childhood of idleness. He immediately has $1,000,000 of worth. Why is Trumps social worth ten times mine?
I die in a car crash, leaving my meth-head son $100,000 of worth. He invests it in lottery tickets and lucks out with $1,000,000. Why is his social worth ten times mine, and the same as Trumps? He then turns his wealth into $10,000,000 using a barely legal pyramid scheme. Is he now ten times as valuable as Trump, and 100 as valuable as me before I died?
I see what you're trying to get at with trying to allocate decision making to those that have proven that they make good decisions. I just think your criteria could use some work.
I was an instructor for welding for a short time. This would be my analysis. Trying to be everything to everybody is just to big of a job. And at that point, where do you advertise? Who do you target?
Even visiting later, I found myself confused by all the options available.
Agreed. That is what was on the Republican ticket. On the other ticket we had a woman that claims to be a feminist that publicly attacked the women that reported on her husbands sexual harassment, even the ones he admitted to. She claimed to be for the "little people" while accepting literally MILLIONS for short speeches to Wall Street tycoons. She laughingly defended a child molester by claiming that the victim was "asking for it".
The list goes on for a long way, and gets longer with every tell-all book that gets released, but the point is that we have a sucky two-party system, and the Democrats put up a candidate that was every bit as flawed as Trump. She suffers from every malady you listed for Trump.
The insanity is not confined to the Republican party.
Not choosing to renew a program under legal challenge is not the same as choosing to "end" it. If it were, Obama chose to "end" it when he chose to give it a 5 yr life span.
My wife is from Poland, and has dual citizenship with the US and Russia. She is now trying to denounce her Russian citizenship, because Russia is no longer recognizing dual citizenship. We want to go to St. Petersburg to see her family, but if she does without renouncing, she will be jailed.
Turning the question around so that we can all see it in a different light:
If you're a software engineer, how do you determine that a change is needed? Once you've re-ordered a body of code, with its objects and methods, and so on, how do you measure its effectiveness at expressing the intent and objective of the project?
This is interesting, because every few months we get a raft of stories coming down about how a particular distribution is rearranging the furniture on a Linux distro's desktop, or rewritten a system settings program, or rewritten a component completely. How do we measure that the "new and improved" isn't just "new and now obscure".
After reading many, many accident investigation reports, I would say that the FAA strongly disagrees with you. Nearly every report includes the phrase "pilot error". As in, "after the left wing fell off, the pilot failed to maintain coordinated flight..."
But American voters were "influenced" when a nefarious actor exposed emails that demonstrated the corruption of Hillary and the DNC, confirming what people already thought they knew about her. And it is that unfair influence that the Democrats seek to set right.
Does it make a difference if the disgruntled employee is paid by Amazon vs being paid by you? Isn't your data just a gone? I mean, it's not like most CEOs personally maintain their own datacenters.
Why has my team been forced from using a productive Agile process into a waterfall method?
Because, a certain QA manager wants control. She wants to be the "gatekeeper" who gets to "sign off" on if the customer gets to see the product. In the same way, going to the office gives certain managers control.

Is Musk trying to "own" electric vehicles?

you have Trump calling facts 'fake' if he doesn't like the source
Those "facts" have most often been someones unsupported opinion, and over time we're finding that many of those "facts" continue to be debunked.
So....there's that.
Agreed. That is what was on the Republican ticket.

This sounds like you are arguing for a supply of slave labor.

True story.
My wife is from Poland, and has dual citizenship with the US and Russia. She is now trying to denounce her Russian citizenship, because Russia is no longer recognizing dual citizenship. We want to go to St. Petersburg to see her family, but if she does without renouncing, she will be jailed.
Are you saying you don't remember what happened to Tim Tebow when he kneeled? Hint: He wasn't declared ".[A-Za-z] of the Year".

And...
it is critics all the way down.

And of course a little simulator training for the crew wouldn't have hurt either, but this was also a serious BAD UX problem.
I'm wondering WHY the simulator training didn't expose and force a rewrite of the bad UX.
FTS: fourth US Navy collision this year
I would beg to differ.
No one was bringing Weinstein into this debate.
But American voters were "influenced" when a nefarious actor exposed emails that demonstrated the corruption of Hillary and the DNC, confirming what people already thought they knew about her. And it is that unfair influence that the Democrats seek to set right.
Trump's campaign manager is under indictment and confined to house arrest.
And what is Podesta up to these days?
Even after you agree to give it away?
And define "your data". If you buy a car from me, am I free to tell people that a Mr Coward bought my car? Or is that "your data", too?
Does it make a difference if the disgruntled employee is paid by Amazon vs being paid by you? Isn't your data just a gone? I mean, it's not like most CEOs personally maintain their own datacenters.

And yet, the average temperature is only scheduled to increase by 4C.
