I have no idea but when reading the article my mind immediately went to businesses having dashers take photos of competing businesses as some type of weird crowdsourced corporate espionage.

I read it as "secret shopper/diner" kind of deal, so corporate can fail that local franchise for failing some rating for the burger...

And here I am thinking if I needed to do that myself I’d just run it on my local machine and upload the final video to wherever it needs to go.

I assume it uses an error tolerant parser, same as most language servers.

Ex: https://github.com/microsoft/tolerant-php-parser/blob/main/d...

Not when your actions don’t align with your professed virtues.

It is public information. The private company whose database is being deleted processed the public information into an easier to search and consume dataset

The data is publicly available. The data being deleted is the private company’s own copy of it.

Data being "available" and it being accessible/searchable are two completely different things.

Should we always send the source of truth to a private company to have it repackaged and presented in a more inoffensive manner?

Who knows? Maybe they are. I’m not from Chad myself (and sounds like you aren’t either), so we’re really not in a position to speculate on that. I do know that it’s quite common for one culture to have values or think in ways that are unintuitive to another culture.

Yeah, I grew up poor in the 3rd world (not quite Chad level though) and even the upper class culture of my own country was almost alien for us and vice versa... Imagine the 1st world.

I guess you could say the Kolakoski sequence is special in being the “simplest” version of such a sequence (ignoring the finite trivial case {1} xD)
