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

    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…

    The point of the article is to explain barriers and demonstrate them. The logic used for crediting amounts of money is not important.

    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…

    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 w…

    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…

    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 …

    But in base 12 the number 12 would be written as 10. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, 10, 11, etc.

    So, you'd delete your old comments because you would rather no one in the world get any kind of value from them since you are not getting any anymore?

    Yeah, I'm not convinced this is making a difference. No number or any kind of clue about the size of the movement was given.
