With stoves you can heat things up in a more controlled way. It's as hot as you want it when you want it. But besides that, way before the outside temperature ever gets as hot as stoves can get, nearly all life on Earth will be extinct, including humans...so yes, stoves will become irrelevant in that sense. =p
I'm not sure if you mean a round trip or one way, I guess a round trip would technically be time travelling twice, so you must mean one way. I've always thought of the past in a very romantic light, like 100-200 years ago, and would love to live there, except medical care was very crude and limited back then compared to nowadays, which makes it scary. I'd love to see what the future holds (like 50-5000 years from now) even more than I'd like to visit the past if it were a round trip, but not if it's only one way without knowing what the future will be like ahead of time, especially when in all likelihood it will be much worse, and that's if humanity and/or civilization will even exist at all. Though I could also go to the past to my early childhood and see if I can get myself taken away from my parents before they royally fuck me up for life.

Was this a genius move, considering it was quite hot that day? https://youtu.be/Q2HqBmtJ8KM
No, seeing water and wanting to swim in it isn't particularly genius. It's just a little nonstandard in his case, taking a dip in the middle of motorcycling without taking off his shoes or his helmet or anything. At least he can think outside the box. Though I'm not sure how he'll like his shoes being soaked for hours.
It's funny he didn't have a cell phone or anything he had to remove. Maybe he had it all in his bags.
It seems kind of strange for that pool to be there in the middle of nowhere for anybody to swim in. I wonder what kind of establishment it belonged to. A hotel? Or maybe things are different in whatever country that is.
I think it was more racist before the internet--probably much more--because the internet's facilitation of meme and viral idea exchange meant that a lot of smart and inspiring ideas about racism, homophobia, etc. spread like wildfire among the younger generations who lived for the internet, which I believe is what led to the widespread acceptance of homosexuals and other LGBTQ people. So it probably helped racism too.
Regarding the Instagram account, the internet is a big place, and there will be something for/by everybody, including the minority of people who are still racist. So, if anything, the internet just made it easier to see things like racism, at least/especially those things that pertain to a minority of people.
I don't know the answer to the first question, except maybe what Sean said and/or that the legacy systems are integrated with other systems, workflows, etc. they use and it would be very expensive and possibly error-prone to upgrade them.
Whether it's wrong to take advantage of a company is a matter of opinion, but IMO, companies are inherently evil and profiteering and exploit anyone and everything they can, including you, and as such, they have more than enough money, so it's not wrong to take advantage of/cheat them.
It's probably more or less true, but I wouldn't assume it's a total black-and-white situation. Commercial endeavors are run and controlled by fatcats who don't want to rock the economic boat/challenge the establishment because it's working out well for them. But there may be scenarios where they don't care, all they care about is getting a share of the artist's profits, or even scenarios where they're willing to entertain revolutionary ideas because people like them which means they're profitable. But the latter case could be tainted by some sort of filtering of exactly what ideas are acceptable. And also commercial sources may want to filter the art for things that could get them into legal trouble. Like the FBI once raided a Rage Against the Machine forum and shut it down.
anyway, these are my opinions on what's likely without really having any experience or reading about the subject.
