I don't care as much about applications that I use now, as about applications that will be written in the future but will be crippled by Wayland. Use one of them, and X11 remote access is broken forever, for everything.

Of course, they can!

They can mandate that any device that has any kind of computer control (what now means, anything more complex than all-mechanical kitchen faucet) will have to have "certified" hardware-software "solution", that the only providers of such solutions will be Sony and Microsoft, and every other company providing such "solutions" will have to be approved by incumbents (who would only approve their own resellers).

I suggest looking at the purpose of this thing -- then you will find out that whatever you are trying to build, is impossible (full emulation of a real-life network, secure sandbox environment, etc.), or does not require virtualization (everything else).

then:

and immediately then:

Huh?

One year old babies neither talk, nor have a concept of other people being their peers.

No, that's a much more fundamental concept of causing harm. Taking away something a person needs, harms him regardless of any "ownership" involved.

You don't understand. It takes a generation after the point when using the wrong system will get you fined, laughed at, or punched in the face. Otherwise the old system, no matter how idiotic, continues to perpetuate itself indefinitely.

For the purpose of "too cold" and "too hot", -15 and +40 (or -20 and +35 for me) numbers work just fine.

Slavery worked great, too, and then you had an attempt of secession and a huge war about it.

If it left you crippled instead of dead, yes. However sane governments just have enough taxes to deal with the consequences of natural diasters instead of having "asteroid insurance", "crazy guy with a gun insurance", "tiger insurance", etc.

Of course, they do! They just pay everything to their executives.

In general, the idea of "profit" as something objective and measureable is completely idiotic for most of the modern companies, because a sizeable chunk of what is expense for the company, is income for the people who are in control of it.

Anything attributed to unknown or un-verifiable sources is likely to be a lie.
Anything that is accompanied with ideological editorializing is likely to be a lie.
Anything said by "historian" about anything hapening across some major ideological conflict is likely to be a lie.
Anything said by "historian" about his own government is likely to be a lie.
Anything said by American "historian" is likely to be a lie.
Anything said by a pissed off writer is likely to be a lie.

Whatever left... Yeah, that's really not much, but you usually can trust your own memory and published documents when those documents were a part of some process where validity mattered.

So you will just accuse me of bias because you happen to believe the propaganda version?

Most of the driver is just a copy of Intel driver, with additional functionality bolted on top. Whatever the author's abilities are, the goal was not to produce a working protocol stack, and benchmarks of this hack can't be used to predict anything but the behavior of this hack.

And then they would inevitably slow down this hack, too, what makes me doubt the validity of the measurements.

Those companies merely announced that they intend to use this "technology" somewhere. They are not throwing out the routers they have. They likely replace some level 2 and level 3 switches ("almost routers") and treat the whole thing as a fancier management protocol for simple mostly flat or statically configured networks that they have in abundance. For all we know, Google may already have no routers at all except for links between their data centers, as they are famous for customizing their hardware/network infrastructure for their own unique software infrastructure, and would probably gain more from multi-port servers connected by very primitive switches into clusters with VLAN or even physical topology following the topology of their applications' interfaces.

Except traditional switches never have high-latency, unreliable links between their components, and the data formats follow the optimized design of ASICs and not someone's half-baked academic paper.

Then why don't people just place Ethernet between a CPU and RAM? It's "nano or possibly microseconds", right?

See above.

If it works, then the way you use it, did not require anything complex to begin with, and you use it as yet another management protocol. You could have bought cheap level 3 switches before, and configure them to do exactly the same thing with command line, except with less buzzwords.

At no point in history, starting before apes that humans eventually evolved from, this was the case -- they were all social animals and controlled territory, food, etc. only as a group with complex hierarchy within the group that had absolutely nothing to do with ownership. Those loners in caves never existed, and could not possibly exist because humans never had physical traits necessary for surviving and defending an individual without a group. A hunter living alone in the woods, as much "close to nature" it seems, is something much more recent, brought by the development of technology. Personal property is also a recent cultural development, and even now it usually acts as a proxy for social status and power.

If it's 19th to 21th century, it's someone regurgitating modern propaganda.

You can't "dig deeper" when all you have is a collection of propaganda workers and their parrots, all trying to out-shout each other while trying to keep the impression of legitimacy.
