Trust what? Many scientists will quite justifiably have completely opposing views (do vaccines cause autism for example).

Not really no.

The process of "embrace, extend and extinguish" has been used multiple times to destroy FLOSS projects from the inside.

Of the top of my head:

  • Kerberos
  • Office formats
  • XMPP

I've just got back from a run so my brain is not fully connected, so others can give other examples.

Meta do not want to join the party for fun. They want to join because it is the only way they can smother it.

One thing the Sysadmin community no longer needs to know about:

My job is horrible, I commute 6 hours each way to my office in the cellar. My boss is useless a wet blanket who's only working muscle is his tongue which he uses to kiss the backside of the attention-seeking, sociopath CEO who won't spend any money because our Windows NT4 infra is "as good as it gets". Being a Sysadmin sucks! What should I do?

If the most common phrase here is "brush up your CV" we have a problem.

Or the Prodigy, who relied almost entirely on samples yet made some of the most exciting music we had ever heard.
