I seem to remember Tesla opening up a bunch of patents. As a guess, that should be near the top of the list

I've seen some pretty right-wing stuff on WSJ in the last few months.

Hey, don't knock him. I'd never thought about it before. Being taught or corrected is great as long as people aren't dicks about it. Even then it has some value :)

I shall use this knowledge and endeavour to share it where possible.

Damn, did we ever get that one wrong.

This is not power. This is aid, planning, money, and ideally to show some semblance of leadership.

Excitedly read title of article. Disappointed upon discovering it's not that type of club, nor that type of swinging.

I should also add that I remember seeing some poll of Americans and this sort of "political correctness" or whatever you wish to call it, was the primary reason people said they voted for Donald Trump. Nothing official, some news station or something, but still. It's not harmless.

Why? That seems like it would cause a lot of very oor people to suffer even more.

What's best for you and what will give more financial reward are not always the same thing.

Google does tend to be at the leading edge of stuff, both good and bad. This one, as a 'nobody user' sucks.

An awesome book that does still teach a lot of valuable lessons. Sadly, pretty much the same lessons it taught back when it was written. Maybe more people should actually read it.
