Does Mono have any purpose any longer? What is the point now that dotnet core is so well-established?

Holy shit, I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been going through a physical rehab of my own the past year and it is so awful. Recovering from such a major surgery as that must be horrible, I can't imagine.

It seems to be human nature to group together like that. It makes sense from a game theory perspective, too. Perhaps political parties are inevitable

Experiments in rats have found that once plastic is introduced to their environment, their ability to reproduce declines drdmstically. Genitalia are smaller, slerm rates lower. And the effect compounds and grows generation after generation, getting worse and worse so long as plastic is consumed.

Studies have also shown that human fertility (regarding actual physical ability to reproduce, not the choice of whether to do so) has dropped dramatically genetation on generation since the rise of plastics

improving and integrating the technology is raising harder and more complex questions than first envisioned

Many people not only envisioned but predicted these problems as soon as the hype cycle began.

Interesting article. I'd have loved to see some stats on how LLM investment and LLM startups are doing.

I miss Tarja, but that is an incredible performance. Most bands sound kinda bad live, it is much more difficult to sing live vs in a studio and far fewer elements are in your control. Yet, despite Nightwish's vocals being so challenging she hits every note while singing live and headbanging surrounded by constant pyro. So much hard work must have gone into preparing for this set, what a pro.

I think you're missing their point a bit

What about in London? The UK is very humid, yet London relies heavily on ~40% unsustainable groundwater

They don't even need that sort of power for the argument to hold weight but yes, they do hold exactly that sort of power and use it for things like ensuring that Buckingham Palace isn't affected by racial equality in employment laws https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/08/royals-vetted-more-than-1000-laws-via-queens-consent

Then they hide it from us, too
