A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
Forgot to mention that The Donald's been nibbling around the edges of Presidential politics for the better part of 20 years. If you think he's an "outsider", then you're no doubt ready to hear about some nice ocean-front property in Arizona that I'd like to sell you at a fantastic price. It's the BEST of its kind anywhere in the state!
Yes, this, because research whose outcome generates increased corporate profits is exactly the same as research whose outcome generates benefits to consumers.
Maybe you like $media_corp tracking which songs you listen to, and how many times.
Or perhaps you'd like some government deciding that because you've streamed some song or other—hm, I dunno, how about this one?—one too many times that you should be on a watchlist.
Neither of those possibilities appeals to me very much.
Recognition of one's own exceptional abilities is not arrogance. Failure to recognise and to act ethically on the responsibility to others that goes along with them is.
How many times are you really going to listen to that same song?
Just as I've done all my life: as many times as I freaking want to, without worrying about whether I have a network connection and without getting billed for it each and every time, thanks very much.
Newer autos are better then last decade's autos, and being more fuel efficient is one driving force behind this.
Yes, and they've also become black boxes that owners can no longer maintain by themselves, and they transmit your data no matter where you go. It's a bit like riding around in a smartphone with wheels.
I would be very happy if Mr Musk devoted some of his wealth to building a nationwide passenger rail system based on technologies already in use, which would actually do the country a lot more good than either the Tesla or the Hyperloop. One thing I am not really looking forward to, should I ever move back to the US, is being obliged to have a car again—something I've got along quite well without here in Europe for the last 10+ years.

Wait a minute...

WTF is wrong with people?????
Nice try, but this is Facebook, creator of the famed "shadow account" for people who don't actually have Facebook accounts.

CA is just the latest iteration.
Haidt does little more than regurgitate Schopenhauer—badly.

I know it's not fashionable to RTFA, but to skip the very first word of the summary? That's going for a new low.
And the original 13 American colonies could have avoided war by simply obeying all of King Henry's edicts and taxes.
King Who?

So do I. But I enjoy being able to go anywhere in the metro for roughly $85/month even more.
Back in the day, we could say, ""Nixon's a crook, but at least we know he's our crook."
Trump is an even bigger crook, and completely fails the "our" part.

Obviously a ringer. Try harder next time, FakeAPK.
What are these "hopes", "dreams", and "aspirations" of which you speak?

He ran for an elected office. He got elected. He's been conducting his re-election campaign since before he actually took office. He's a politician.
My preferred method is the humble plunger-pot.

If you see sarcasm, condescension, or vitriol in that post, then perhaps you need to clean your glasses.
I was going to mod this "insightful" but it hardly qualifies.
It should be obvious to anybody with two braincells to rub together.
Agreed, on both counts.
But this is Slashdot, where I once got a +5, Informative for describing how I make coffee. Go figure.

Sloppy language is often an indicator of sloppy thinking as well.
You'll notice I'm not volunteering to edit your memoirs, since I don't work for free, but I'll be happy to discuss my rates with you.
