ziikutv··on Patent trolls are shaking us down for selling “rubies” in our game
Would be more useful if you can comment on how/when patent trolling would be ethical
ziikutv··on The Makefile I use with JavaScript projects
Wish this article was about just make rather than JavaScript and using it in tandem
ziikutv··on Chinese police don high-tech glasses to nab suspects
I personally do not believe the tech is as `high-tech` they say as it is. Its not easy to get someone's bio information just from a small camera. Edit: Think some of this might be BS fluff stuff.

More importantly, I do not think it would help to catch people that much other than further police's assumptions as to who is a criminal (if all they have is name, gender, address, ethnicity). Even putting that concern to the side, think about how many people a foot solder can "scan" on a crowded train station.

> But how many of those services charge 10% of revenue? Zero.

I am not discounting the points you've made. I understand that there are definitely cases where 10% might be too high. Hell, it might even be applicable here.

Respectively, I disagree with your quoted comment. Are you sure its zero? Uber Rush delivery drivers make 75-80%. Where do you think the rest of the delivery fee goes? This was just from my first Google. I am sure you can find more examples of this being not the case.

Going back to the topic at hand. For a dev like me, I think 10% is high but agree with the points made. There are 100s of posts online of people writing shit for free. I am sure you can even find a dozen of subreddits alone for writing. From their POV this can be seen as a secondary source of income.

Most people who are GOOD writers - at a point where anyone would buy their 'product - have been writing for many years. They could even be doing this as a profession (think book writers). For them, do also see 10% being a high fee?

including your edit are home run!

This... shout outs to darkf, nedbat and aria from Node JS

It amazes me how these people continue to help others and blessed to have them repeatedly help me on so many occasions

ziikutv··on CMU 15-721 Advanced Database Systems [video]
I am already a fan after watching the first 2 minute. He does an "OG" intro.
ziikutv··on Hacker News Transparency
Please pardon my ignorance. What is the point of this? How does it help?
ziikutv··on Red Lang goes blockchain
I am excited. Wish they wrote more details on how to participate in ICOs as some - like me - never have.
ziikutv··on F.C.C. Repeals Net Neutrality Rules
Heres a thing, I see a lot of comments about starting an indie-ISP of sorts.

Simple question: if the monopolies were finally able to break net neutrality laws, don't you think they can likely introduce some bullshit legislation to kill indie-ISPs?

ziikutv··on Former Facebook exec says social media is ripping apart society
Many of my friends have expressed that they don’t want to watch porn. They do it anyways and hate themselves for it after you know... they are done.

I personally think it’s completely natural to have such urges and to cave to them. In fact, for men specifically there are some benefits in keeping the system well lubricated (pun not intended). It’s just something one has to moderate.

Additionally, i have noted that people’s expectations of their desired partner is usually skewed from what they see in porn.

ziikutv··on Facebook wants your children's mind
Same but when I needed to work on an app for work, I had to create a profile and eventually got blocked until I uploaded my drivers license. Still, my account is blocked.

Mark is truly an asshole

ziikutv··on Coinbase Ordered to Turn Over Identities of 14,355 Crypto Traders to the IRS
A hero emerges. Thanks
ziikutv··on Why Education Startups Do Not Succeed (2011)
This really is a great read. Reading the first bullet alone is worth its weight in gold.
ziikutv··on Show HN: SpeechBoard – Edit Podcasts from the Transcript
Is encoding time the only thing from preventing this from extending to video?
ziikutv··on Ask HN: How do you manage multiple learning projects?
I do a combination of the two which so far has not let me down
ziikutv··on How to get an open source community to be interested in helping you
I’d advise removing the first paragraph. It’ll trigger some readers into rolling their eyes and leaving
ziikutv··on More on Dota 2
Could not have agreed more with my friend here.

The bot would be more impressive if it used vision or buffer to analyze everything. The bot has all of the information which a human does not have. If the human had the same information I think it would be a better competition.

To me it seems that this bot is good only by the fact that is has information and input advantage.

I also want to clarify that this is not an unflavourful feat and that I think it is cool. But I noticed that a lot of members in the Dota community did not know of the bot API which is likely the case here.

ziikutv··on Elixir in Depth – Reading and personal notes
Same same. I should send you a digital pinch.
ziikutv··on Elixir in Depth – Reading and personal notes
I disliked Rails and did not get into Ruby but I love Elixir. YMMV
ziikutv··on Ask HN: Self-taught developers, what repo helped land your first job?
Umbrella JS is a well deserving project. You won me over with the little animated illustrations. I feel like people have attached those to "quality" and "legitness"; at least I do.

I am going to play with that lib this weekend. Could be good for small Eletron/NW.JS apps.

ziikutv··on Ask a Female Engineer: Thoughts on the Google Memo
Could not have agreed more. I do not think they should have fired him because it further validates one of the points he made about "being on the right side" (I am talking about the statement at the beginning that all women seem to agree with, do not have the exact quote on me atm.)
ziikutv··on Ask HN: What are your thoughts on multiple jobs?
Thanks, really appreciate you signing up to give me a response.

I won't then. I will stick to contributing to open source and asking for more challenging tasks at work.

ziikutv··on First Human Embryos Edited in U.S
Wow it's a Brave new world.
ziikutv··on How do I know if I'm good at programming?
Even though by OP's criteria I am a good programmer, I still think I am terrible compares to my manager. I want to step up. Currently at a web based startup. What can I do to become better in terms of knowledge?
ziikutv··on Ask HN: What API do you wish you had while building your product?
A lot of retailers misuse these SKUs and UPCs. there are some that have a many to many relationships. Its horrendous.

You can checkout Open Food Facts though the amount of data is sparse.

ziikutv··on Google Will Stop Reading Your Emails for Gmail Ads
Some of my emails are "read" (as in shown as I have read them) when I have literally just received them. Is this referring to the same thing?
ziikutv··on Cooling the tube – Engineering heat out of the Underground
Silly question, is the heat so low that it cannot be used for something other than releasing above ground?
ziikutv··on BCHS stack – BSD, C, httpd, SQLite
Yeap. Additionally, having a name without vowels and pronouncing it as if it had vowels is also pretty hipster, mustachioed as they say :)
ziikutv··on Ableton Live Redesign
Yeah its up for me now. Looks great.
ziikutv··on Ableton Live Redesign
Sadly the website is down and Wayback Machine did not save the picture. I am really unhappy because I was really looking forward to be amazed.

Edit: Found a sneak peek on Nenad's Dribbble: https://dribbble.com/shots/3564223-Ableton-Live-Redesign
