But the door debacle is only the latest in a never-ending list of construction faults: car parks that began to crumble weeks after they had been completed, missing check-in counters and luggage conveyor belts, faulty fire-safety walls between the airport and the railway station that serves it, pipes and cables so ill-fitted as to be useless.

Musk was excited by a particular notion: He had recently had a dream, people in the room recall him saying, in which he had seen the factory of the future, a fully automated manufacturing plant where robots built everything at high speed and parts moved along conveyor belts that delivered each piece, just in time, to exactly the right place.

Van de Walle sees real similarities between the neopatrimonial African regimes he studies — like Mobutu Sese Seko's 32-year reign in what's now the Democratic Republic of Congo, in which he spent about $400 million worth of state money building a personal palace that served champagne on conveyor belts — and Trump's lack of interest in keeping government affairs and personal interests separate.

The images Spielberg deploys to show journalism in action induce nostalgia for the pre-digital age: photocopies of 4,000 pages of the Pentagon Papers spread in dozens of piles on the floor of Bradlee's home library, being sorted seemingly at random by a few reporters; a gorgeous giant printing press with fresh editions criss-crossing on conveyor belts from floor to ceiling.

He specializes in eerie, glitchy, electronic instrumentals that confound ordinary electronica categories — "trance" doesn't really fit no matter how relaxing one might find the music; neither does "industrial" no matter how vividly the music evokes big metal objects and factory conveyor belts; "EDM" belongs to a different universe entirely — and, once you've bonded with said instrumentals (which can take a while), they confound ordinary habits of listening, too.

Leaked Audio: Wayfair's Co-founder on Migrant-Camp Beds Ellen Cushing obtains audio from a meeting in which the home-goods retailer's co-founder appears to be unaware that the line between business and politics is rapidly eroding: His argument is a cousin of the one many of his peers in the technology industry have long clung to: that they aren't really political entities, but simply value-neutral conveyor belts for whatever service it is that they offer—short-term rentals, rides, community, connection, information, entertainment.
