Unlikely to fix Apple. They have sold their souls and are beyond all hope. However it will further motivate efforts to get Linux running properly on Apple hardware. When this trojan inevitably arrives in macOS hopefully someone can figure out how to isolate and remove/disable that piece of malware.

No it was not a stupid assumption. You need to read more carefully as I exposed a flaw in his reasoning. The suggestion was that since CP possession does not prove physical molestation, therefore it is OK. Actually possession of CP is a crime in itself. This is an objective fact. I've known of otherwise intelligent people who do believe its actually OK to possess child porn if they're not physically molesting anyone.

He means developers should commit work in progress directly to the master branch. The work in progress would be disabled in production deployments by a "feature flag" boolean configuration setting. The exception to this rule would be very large changes which must be developed in a separate branch, and have been carefully planned with a corresponding RFC document.

In general I don't like this approach. Branches are troublesome when you hire mediocre developers who don't communicate and coordinate between each other. Merge conflicts are often a result of laziness, poor architecture and planning, and weak communication skills. In my experience, smart developers do not create problems with feature branches.

It's really silly for you to be offended by something as objective as the PageRank algorithm, which is essentially how search results are ranked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank

Correlation is not causation. Computing performance has also increased significantly since the mid 20th. Should we blame Intel for the drop in T levels? Where the hell do you get the idea that porn reduces testosterone? Research shows that watching porn increases testosterone levels in men https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2799222/

No. This is not a trivial matter. The decline starts around the mid 20th century, is occurring globally, and levels have reduced by standard deviations from the old norm. Read up on it. It's way more serious than you think.

There has been a severe population-level decline in testosterone levels since the environment was flooded with xenoestrogens. This is a major global problem.

Soy is optional and consumed voluntarily, but BPA and other such chemicals have a significantly more potent long term effect, and contaminates everything it touches.

Simplistic "No True Scotsman" bullshit. ORMs provide type safety, ease of refactoring, and reduce a lot of boilerplate. Of course, occasionally you need to bypass an ORM to write complex queries, which is fine. ORMs are not perfect, but are a very useful tool nonetheless.
