When government runs things, "free and open" are merely a fond wish by mere mortals, such as ourselves.

Irony being that the people/organizations/governments who wish you harm or at least to not do well by you, tend to be liars who happily sign such nonsense with one hand while violating what they sign with the other.
"And what happens if I violate this 'contract'?"
"Nothing"
"Okay, where do I sign?"

"a sense of optimism about the internet had been damaged by abuses of personal data, online hate speech, political manipulation and the centralization of power among a small group of major tech firms"
Actually, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript damaged my sense of optimism long before all those others did, and not just in the internet

Apparently the contract just says;

There has also been some speculation that based on its shape, 'Oumuamua might actually be an interstellar spacecraft It *could* also be a large block of marzipan
But it might be stale by now

I have serious problems with that theory. A light sail would undergo identical accelerations on the way in and out unless it reconfigured itself, which would show up as a change in rotation rates, etc.
OTOH if the crust of tarry gunk on the surface was thick enough it could be on its way out before the suns heat worked its way through the insulation to start sublimating anything.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It’s time to update the standard to include some of the new concepts as well as a number of small improvements that make your life easier across the various implementations of .NET. It's equivalent to 0.0685 standard Javas

the main take away from .NET Standard 2.1 is a lot of performance API are now part of it
they also post on .NET Core 3.0 and .NET Framework 4.8 which makes .NET Framework 4.8 very underwhelming and kind of pointless. Hence I am confused...
Why?
- .NET Framework 4.8 will NOT support .NET Standard 2.1, instead if it remains at .NET Standard 2.0
- whereas .NET Core 3.0 will support .NET Standard 2.1 as well as
- compiling to native
- xcopy deployment (not need to "install" .net core)
- work on Windows!
- support WPF and UWP in the same app / GUI
- better performance
So why even bother with .NET Framework 4.8?

Indeed... I believe I read somewheres that .Net Framework essentially will be deprecated in favor of .Net Core 3.x
