As far as I can tell, the problem is mostly one of personality and ideology. Poettering is a rather unpleasant person who is purposefully choosing to do things in an unnecessarily hostile and control-destroying manner, and Red Hat, while obviously having done tremendous things to help Linux over the years
Yeah, it's like people don't realize things change. True on both sides. Easy to find people who don't realize all the sulfur reductions we've seen, and other pollution controls, and think that the world is just as polluted as it was in the 1970s.
Also easy to find people who somehow don't remember all the tax cuts we've had since the 1970s.
Why didn't that happen when the top Federal rate was 90%?
Because very, very few people paid the top federal rate, because of all the loopholes. When a high tax rate without all the loopholes was passed recently in France, people did leave the country. You can get details here.
At my last company, I worked with a mix of Java, C, and Javascript. I ended up fixing a few memory leaks in the Java code, but the Javascript guys were fixing memory leaks by the thousands (it starts to matter when you have web applications that stay on the same page for a long time). The C code had no memory leaks while I worked there: the C guys recognized that it was likely to be a problem, and developed a system to avoid it.

I've been so brainwashed I don't remember the time before September.
And each year that passes brings us deeper into September: advertising, SEO (which actually ruins search engines), buzzfeed, facebook......it only gets worse and worse.
The top registrars get together and decide to start their own name server. They give some payments to a few of the top ISPs, and it's basically a done deal.
Let's look at it with a concrete example, of a site that Russia actually tried to block: recently, Russia decided to block pornhub. If it got removed from the top registrar, then everyone who wants to visit pornhub will be upset, and look for alternatives.
The GAO is probably right, it doesn't require an act of congress, but the lawsuit only has to delay it long enough for Trump to become president. If Hillary becomes president, then it's pointless.
It could cause problems if domain names are influence-able by governments hostile to free speech, but If it gets too annoying, we'll all just switch to another name server. They can't keep the speech itself down, only certain domain names. My point is, that in the worst case, it's not the end of the world, and the Google index is much, much more important.
The 1541 floppies were definitely not as sensitive as later 3 1/2 floppies (which got corrupted if you looked at them funny), but they weren't invincible, dust and fingerprints could still cause problems.
Why do you think this will affect profitability? Did LinkedIn become less profitable when they leaked everyone's user accounts? Or did everyone just forget about that and move on?
Incidentally, this is a topic where both sides can argue with each other and both be right. If Trump says, "we don't know it was the Russian government, and Clinton says, "experts say it was the Russian government;" those aren't logically contradictory positions.
Here is the evidence that it is the Russian government:
The researchers at the aforementioned security firm are basing their conclusion on three signals: the hacker used Russian computers to edit PDF files, he also used Russian VPN -- and other internet infrastructure from the country, and that he was unable to speak Romanian.
That's really thin evidence to support the assertion that it's the Russian government. Once you start accusing governments, any government could leave those kinds of clues, including the US governemnt. Non-governmental actors can forge that kind of thing, too.

Here is my take on the good side of systemd.

I don't care about personality at all. If the code is good, I'll accept it.
Here is my view of some of the issues (and also benefits) of systemd.
PID1's process in Systemd is only a very small tiny part of systemd
It may be a small percentage of the total systemd code, but I wouldn't call it small.

"Nobody did. It's a, duh, network."
Looks like you've been reading the internets.
How many rock solid kernels, games or video editing suites are you aware of?
L4 micro-kernel. Proven correct. Written in C. DJB software tends to be fairly solid, too, although it's not a kernel.

tbh I wish everyone did science.

The back is up against the hard drive and the monitor. I neither see a cartridge, nor space for one (unless they ordered some kind of super-small one)
not to take the fun out of your jab.
It was a question as much as anything.....in the form of a jab.
Was that a common thing to do in the 80s? (or rather, cost effective?) I don't see a cartridge in the picture.
despite the endless praise he gets from Latina women working in many management roles throughout his company
Really? Hotel room cleaners?

There's a 1541-II right there on the desk with it. Newer model Commodore 64-C. I can still smell it.
I don't know how the disks are still readable with all that dust.
Good points.

I think it's just IRC for people who never figured out how to set up an IRC server.
