Poettering is just another incompetent with a big ego. As such he is not special in any way. The problem is that some morons decided to pus the abominations he creates onto the world.
Basically everything in the standard C library works. You only run into problems when doing non-portable things. I guess Dropbox does not have the money to hire a real Unix developer...
There is a ton of applications on Linux that all do not have these problems. It just requires a bit of experience and not using every damned feature some specialized installation may have. Apparently, Dropbox is lacking the skills for that though.
No, throughput is a specific aspect of performance called throughput (actually network-throughput to be exact). That is why there is a separate word for it. But that is not the real problem. The real problem is that networking over USB is basically a hack that causes numerous problems. And it is an entirely unnecessary hack as SoCs with integrated networking exist that are comparable or better in all other aspects. They are just not made by Broadcom, and the RasPi people are in bed with Broadcom. Also explains why they selected an SoC for a learning machine (!) where a lot of the datasheet is not public.
But from your use of discussion-sabotage techniques I see you do not want to actually discuss facts. That is fine, just do not expect to be taken seriously.
It is probably more "HR" people that have so little skills to actually evaluate candidates that they look at email addresses. Stupid as it is, I see circumstances where this could actually matter, but more in the lower candidate qualification levels.
I only use 2 plus the one from my employer. It is simply a matter to keep track of them that keeps the number low. As I have my own DNS and mailserver and several domains, I could have as many as I want...
Actually not that simple, although a default postfix installation on Linux is already pretty secure. The thing that took me the longest to get to work well was spam-filtering though.
Stupid fact-devoid posturing is stupid. This is about the future. You know as in "has not happened yet"? You probably also think climate-change is a lie, because the climate is fine today.
And that would actually be more expensive than just paying them to not work. People that are not good at their jobs are expensive. And the more sophisticated the job, the worse it gets.
You are not seeing the bigger picture: This time, there will be almost no new jobs to replace the lost ones. That is already pretty much a certainty, even if many people are putting their heads in the sand and believe things will just continue as before, somehow.
That fails when there are no jobs for most people anymore. Then it _must_ be comfortable. We are not there yet by a long stretch, but it is a good idea to be prepared and actually understand the options when the time comes.
How can their investors possibly benefit from this?
By society not collapsing. It may well happen that the only other approach is a severe restriction on automation. An UBI could be an alternative to that that actually costs less. Bit this is _research_. As in "we do not know yet".
This is not about giving everybody an UBI now. An UBI is a permanent emergency measure, and it would be good to understand it better before it becomes necessary (and it will be). "Money" is pretty much an abstract idea that only continues to hold value if all people have access to it. If we lose enough jobs (and it looks pretty much like that) we need a replacement for assignment of money to people via the job. An UBI is a such a replacement. But, like everything, it can be done well or badly or it may not work at all. Hence this research is urgently needed to find out.
No, good engineering would, among other things, not have used an inferior Broadcom SoC in the first place. Seriously. Do you think they are the only ones that make SoCs of this class?
a) I know this is not APK, as I actually am able to communicate with people directly and openly, something you obviously have never mastered.
b) Is that all you have? A smart 12 year old can do better. I guess you based these "insults" on the defects and fears of your own person. Here is a hint: That does not work in me, I am way out of your league. Some sophistication is required (look it up).
c) You are pissed at me because I am not pathetic, unlike you? Nice! Makes my day. Thanks for that and keep the inept trolling coming.

Yes, quite possibly. Incompetent hacks.

Now I am curious. How exactly do you think it is?
It is probably more "HR" people that have so little skills to actually evaluate candidates that they look at email addresses. Stupid as it is, I see circumstances where this could actually matter, but more in the lower candidate qualification levels.
I only use 2 plus the one from my employer. It is simply a matter to keep track of them that keeps the number low. As I have my own DNS and mailserver and several domains, I could have as many as I want...
That is probably the right thing for most people: Your own domain with a hosted DNS and Email server for it.
Actually not that simple, although a default postfix installation on Linux is already pretty secure. The thing that took me the longest to get to work well was spam-filtering though.
Stupid fact-devoid posturing is stupid. This is about the future. You know as in "has not happened yet"? You probably also think climate-change is a lie, because the climate is fine today.
It does require a non-simple person to see and understand that though. That does not seem to be the case here.
What are you talking about? This is not about performance, this is about interfaces.
What are you complaining about? He gave the money back to the market and kept things going. You seem to really not understand how things work.
And that would actually be more expensive than just paying them to not work. People that are not good at their jobs are expensive. And the more sophisticated the job, the worse it gets.

There are different approaches to it. It definitely is not "senseless nonsense", no matter how much it scares you.
That will be one of the things to be determined.

That is the bad engineering found everywhere in the Raspberry Pi. The competition has native Ethernet or native GbE.
This is VHS against Betamax all over,
