I have two. I am sceptical you have used 200 in real life as your comments at FUD compared to my experience.

agree - couldn't watch the pitch part as it was just too much noise

stop motion part was impressive though

Gold isn't going to save you from a zombie apocalypse, nor can you eat it. It will however transport your wealth from one side of a currency crisis to the other while retaining value - as opposed to plastic notes with arbitrary numbers of zeros printed on them.

My 9yo son is willing to give you his life savings of $41.56 to have an at home kit of this machine :)

I've played with OpenCV and tried for fun to train a HAAR cascade classifier to recognise a minifigure. It didn't work which made me realise one has to really understand under the hood of machine learning like this in order to give it good training data.

Kudos. Very, very impressive.

I looked at chocolatey a few years back and decided I didn't like installing anonymously packaged software on my machine.

Recently my team started using it for cloud formation app deployment and I see it has reviewed and approved packages now.

I was also under the misaprehension that chocolatey packages contained binaries but they typically download from the software makers site at install time - so no binary interference to inject nasties by package authors.

Have to say I'm impressed with the updates to security and will look into using it privately as a result.

Thanks for your work!
