I agree, it's already popping. But the pop is still very, very slow with most investors still in denial and keeping their paragliders open.

I strongly disagree. Every response longer than one line of code or longer than 1-2 sentences on a non-trivial task, has at least inaccuracies or mistakes. When working with something AI has created, I had to go in and fix it manually in 100% of those cases. That's why I limit the use of AI to only type-ahead suggestions, as I can easily verify them and don't waste more time than creating the result manually.

This is a double edged sword. You risk hostile takeover if the Dev has bad intentions and you risk suddenly being off the store if the Dev account gets blocked for one of the other apps. For me it would not be worth the hassle.

It's really good but not the first choice for casual users.

Jira is extremely configuration dependent. It can be good and it can be awful. Companies with bad processes will configure it in the same way and I believe that's where most of the hate comes from. Bitbucket is pretty decent by now. It's just not very feature rich. But that's not really a problem for this type of software if you hand over to other tools with the extensive web hooks. But confluence... It feels like it has been stuck in time while Mediawiki is continually closing the gap. Especially automatically updating pages is a pain with the weird and fragile code that represents the pages internally.

As someone who is using the Atlassian stack daily, Bitbucket (self hosted) is by far the best product from the stack. Jira is okay if you actually plan on using its features extensively. Confluence is... Well, it tries. I'd even prefer plain Mediawiki over it.

They need plausible deniability that the little brown girls they abuse are at least white.

That's what some people claim. If I remember correctly, it was determined that these large scale prestigious events are a net negative.

Depending on the source DNA seems to have a half life of 500-1500 years. This source calculates with slightly over 500 years. Permafrost samples may be more on the upper end of the scale but the message would be similar:

A study of DNA extracted from the leg bones of extinct moa birds in New Zealand found that the half-life of DNA is 521 years. So every 1,000 years, 75 per cent of the genetic information is lost. After 6.8 million years, every single base pair is gone.

If you say it like that, I'll happily abandon science to go velocitaptor jousting with you!

Even under the best preservation conditions, there is an upper boundary of 0.4–1.5 million years for a sample to contain sufficient DNA for sequencing technologies.

With Wayland becoming more and more popular, it's interesting to look at the around 40 year history of X.
