As a francophone, Kuyon sounds funny to me.

I've traveled to places where I would not tip and I don't remember the experience being very different. I say what food I want and get a plate with such food.

Is part of the article missing? It ends abruptly.

From the article:

> The pre-sale estimate £800-1200 ($1073-1610). It sold for £7,000 ($9390).

No, it should be illegal, otherwise everything would get destroyed whenever someone is slightly destroyed. Illegality serves as a kind of filter so that when enough people risk jail or death for a cause, that's because they really had enough.

I haven't given that a lot of thought, and it feels weird to say, but maybe the opinion that an act should be done and should be illegal can be true at the same time.

When a citizen commits a crime, they messed up. When ten commit a crime, they messed up. When half the village destroys the chief's home, the chief messed up.

You're being downvoted but you're right. I won't defend Thiel in general but that particular point is a bit taken out of context.

There's a talk somewhere ont the internet where he explains that you don't want to build a do-it-all product, at least not right away. Don't compete with everyone for everything. Find a more niche market where you can have a monopoly, get comfortable, then you branch out, diversity, and tackle broader markets.

The point of the article is to explain barriers and demonstrate them.

The logic used for crediting amounts of money is not important.

It's plug and play.

They still run the whole orchestration.

If you don't want to pay, you'd have to not use GitHub Actions at all, maybe by using their API to test new commits and PRs and mark them as failed or passed.

There was controversy because of a Mcdonald's AI ad recently so I think they say that as a little wink.

Why the AI disclosure? Is it just for the author to make sure the readers know they are AI-skeptic and use the opportunity to link to another article, or would there be something wrong with the proof had AI been used to help write the code?

(By help I mean just help, not write an entire sloppy article.)

Strange, I am also on Firefox for Android and the game works fine.

It says near the db, not necessarily in it.

The way I understand it, the closer the better for the reasons stated, but that's just a factor and there are others that might make you not want to stay too close for certain logic.

Open source does not mean accepting everyone's work or even accepting contributions at all. From the article, it seemed like this was the major concern.

I found the part that said "yes open source provides transparency but we have a roadmap" a bit weird.

It's their product, so if they don't want to open source it then they shouldn't. No need to write a silly article with almost as many emojis as words.
