For anyone wondering, that is a USB Microscope camera which can be ordered via Amazon[1].

ziikutv··on Box: Python dictionaries with recursive dot notation access
I think if 'Box' was broken down into smaller 'ZipLockBags', it would be better; it is doing too much things.

The article title is almost identical too.

I think your points are definitely valid if I was being objective. But.. that was just a subjective statement :)

And pretty awesome. You will appreciate it 100% more if you visit our capitol.

Please don't say that... I am hoping to rake in the giant ROIs...

Checked out this area where I saw some condos driving on Kippling Street. Unfortunately, because they are sort of a "ravine lot", it shows that there are +200 houses in the park it is atop.

So that green area in the above image is a park. I think the map tiles are likely segmented incorrectly.

ziikutv··on Root – Programmable bank account for software developers
Its virtually untraceable. There are ways to find out if the note was new and released by the bank only to that person etc.

Which is why the tinfoil me gets change before doing tinfoil purchases xD

Private, old company. Its their nature unfortunately.
ziikutv··on Indian government says citizens don't have absolute right over their bodies
This is nothing new. I think digitizing records of citizen can get hairy but it also has some pros.

The title of this report taken at face value sounds shocking, but the arguments raised are perfect here. You do not have the right to suicide or commit infanticide after a certain stage, nor can you take drugs. The point raised was, if we had 100% right over our bodies, we would have been allowed those things. Since we aren't, it is used as a means to explain why Finger prints and eye scans are irrefutable when getting the Adhaar card.

ziikutv··on SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage has landed at LZ-1 [video]
In the beginning they said that the payload is confidential too, not just the destination. Rewatch it ;)
ziikutv··on SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage has landed at LZ-1 [video]
Didn't they say it was classified? I think just before the separation of the rocket and payload, they said something about what it was.

13:38 in the video "Falcon X is delivering the, National Reconnaissance office's satellite to orbit right now"

ziikutv··on How I got an FBI record at age 11 from dabbling in cryptography (2015)
I mean them asking the car company would have Eliminated that. It is the first rational choice anyone would make.

Why the hell didn't they contact street car company and ask if someone was looking for them?
ziikutv··on Ask HN: How do you keep improving?
Number two is very important. A good place to find some informal mentorship is in irc chats.

Shout out to Aria from #node.js. What an amazing developer. The best example of a self taught/homeschooled success story. Aria taught me a lot of stuff related to Node and is also active on the channel.

ziikutv··on Visualizing Concurrency in Go (2016)
This is really cool.

I wonder at what point WebGL craps out. How many concurrent processes can it handle?

ziikutv··on The Boring Company [video]
Even tesla a [will] havr different sized models.

Sedan, the new one that's in backlog, truck that is being unveiled in September, etc.

I also do not think he will convince any municipality to allow boring of a network just for tesla. I also do not think he is that close minded.

ziikutv··on The Boring Company [video]
Yes. This is also a concern. Also people are usually fucked up. How will I know that some idiot wont jump out of his damn car during this?

A restriction would be to simply have all windows and doors locked but this can be circumvented in older cars. Perhaps a restriction would be to cover the entire car in some sort of a housing. This will lead to the size constraints I described earlier.

So all in all, a lot of safety concerns with this but I am confident Musk has something up his sleeve. Something like this is a raging yes to one of his two questions; (Yes - "[Will this do good]" | Maybe - "[Is it tractable]" ). I think a solution like this is great if we have a blank slate, which will be the case on Mars.

Edit: Spelling and grammar.

ziikutv··on The Boring Company [video]
Here's a question for those way smarter than me. Why is there a need for a platform?

Some pros: - If its a shitty, poor regulated car.. this will lead to more safety - Avoid adding extra gear (software/hardware) to the car

Cons: - Size restriction - Clean up and Maintenance - How do you ensure the car is in the platform securely?

This was exactly my thought as I watched the video.

ziikutv··on Goodbye Amazon
> I'll repeat that: Amazon.com, a reseller, told us that we were not allowed to raise the price of our own product for any reason. It was not open for discussion. In fact, the one and only time that anyone at Princeton Audio ever spoke in person to anyone from Amazon.com was the day we ended our relationship with them over the phone. Prior to that, our Amazon buyer had refused to ever reply to any of our questions or requests for support. Like I said, nice folks, huh?

Sounds like Amazon needs to change their practices on dealing with manufacturer and let go of some people.

ziikutv··on Goodbye Amazon
I think what you said about keeping some popular, prebuilt configurations on Amazon makes perfect sense. I am not sure why they decided to entirely cut off Amazon.

I have ordered products from Amazon that haven taken over a month to arrive. I am not sure why Amazon rush these folks. I think Amazon is fucking up here by trying to appear as a faster delivery solution over a quality of product solution.

I think combining both, allowing for sale of pre-made, popular products, as well as allowing longer windows for custom built speakers is a solution that will work for both parties.

ziikutv··on Free prescriptions for all under the age of 25 in Ontario, Canada
I think there will be significant rise in prescriptions.
ziikutv··on India Is Winning Its War on Human Waste
Recall that a lot of Roman Engineering was based off of what they learned as they colonizes/conquered. Meaning these sort of civilized solutions likely existed in other parts of Europe.

I think they went back to using lower-level solutions because of the collapse as dimitar mentioned.

Edited paragraph. Those were two separate topics.
