I completely forgot about the lawn equipment side of things. I purchased a $350 self-propelled non-riding Honda lawn mower as "My First Lawn Mower" on recommendation from CR[0].

I have owned this thing for over a decade. I hate cutting the lawn. I hate maintaining things like this. In the decade I've owned it I have changed the oil once (the spring of the second year I owned it). I have never replaced the spark plug. Most years I forget to empty the gas before winter and the first gallon is a mix of gas from the previous year and new gas I've added to top it off.

Every time I start it up for the first time, in the spring, with the half-bad-gas-mixture, I fully expect the thing is not going to start. It's never failed after the second or third pull, and after that it starts after the first every single time. I abuse the hell out of this thing and it keeps on working.

My neighbor is on mower #3 this year. I laugh because I hear him running his down every fall and think in the back of my head "I should really do that" only to forget until the first snow falls. He's also there changing the oil in his driveway every spring. I'm sure he's gone through more spark plugs than me, too (the manual says to replace it yearly).

> This is particularly clear for India, which is a natural US ally.

India has only become a natural US ally fairly recently... And largely due to the 'frenemy' status that the US has with China. (Which in itself is a consequence of the 'frenemy' status that the USSR had with China... It's turtles all the way down.)

Through much of the Cold War, US-India relationships were very, very cool. Instead, they had good relations with Russia, while the US had good relations with Pakistan.

There's nothing 'natural' about nation-state alignment. It's all political, and politics is capricious.
I doubt that US would help those countries in the war with Russia. US didn't help Georgia, US didn't help Ukraine. It's naïve to expect that US would protect someone on the other end of earth.
But it will have the cost of 2x API bandwidth (vs 0) and another point of failure that you are responsible for. A DNS CNAME probably wouldn't work if you had to go over SSL. Maybe a 30x redirector (still have the SPoF, but simpler and much less bandwidth)? Except in the past, I've found that most clients react poorly to redirects for anything other than GETs.

Is there any indirection that would avoid having to walk the traffic over my own network?

This used to happen around recordings of cops as well. I believe the solution was to require cops to wear body cams. Perhaps consider proposing legislation that school staff, admin and others must wear a body cam when interacting with children.
I use branches and PRs when developing solo, nevermind developing on a team.

It's incredibly freeing to be able to say "This branch is treated as a sandbox. The code is in flux, history is mutable." and "This (master) branch is stable. Every single commit in it is good, passes all known tests and linting, should be safe to rollback to, should be amenable to `git bisect`".

When developing on a team, even if I can push directly to master, I usually shouldn't and won't. I want a second pair of eyes on that code.

Does this "process-heavy" workflow mean I distrust myself? Sure. I expect that I am human, make mistakes and oversights. I also expect that my coworkers are human, and I'm not going to trust their solo efforts any more than my own.

If branches and PRs are institutionalized distrust, well, remember that a healthy amount of distrust is good for you.

A market based system and an authoritarian regime are not mutually exclusive. Singapore is very capitalistic but its political structure is basically a dictatorship. The same family has ruled it from the beginning. The Singapore model is very attractive to other countries who want to emulate the same. In fact, when Deng Xiaoping opened up China, Singapore was one of those places he visited and studied.

The ethical side of this discussion in Law Enforcement is a never-ending debate.
I've used slack. Worked at a small web shop of 10 people (one remote) which used slack. Wanna know what it was used for, and still to this day? Posting memes, cat and cute animal pictures, political news articles, funny articles, food related stuff, youtube, gifs, ad nauseum.

The project dev channels were all dead as the shop was small enough where people didn't need a bloated chat app for the few projects they managed. The one remote worker was paired with a local dev and they did all their communication via direct chat. Plus they still left access to the main random channel to ex employees so everyone could keep in touch. So there was an additional dozen people posting crap all day.

Slack was used for entertainment and distraction. I think the "modern" web chat idea is more of a distraction than help. IRC might be primitive but it does what it was made for without the distraction of gifs, memes, videos and other nonsense.
I'll be honest, if what happened in that meeting happened to me, I'd probably start crying. And I'd start looking for a new job that night. There are far better ways that manager could have made his point than "You're fired, get out. JK, go research instead."
> Someone in the US has to actively decide not to prosecute.

There’s no autonomous machinery that will prosecute someone unless it’s turned off. If nobody in the US did anything, then she would have jogged back into Canada and never have been aware that she stepped outside of its boundaries in the first place.

So, no. Action would have been required to prosecute. No action would have meant no prosecution.
That is the marginal cost, which generally tends to zero. It's not a very effective argument in this case.

He got a pretty good smearing done on his character by the media during his confirmation hearings. That, plus the fact that his name will always be associated with Trump, is probably enough for most people.

The irony there is that there's probably no person on the court more predisposed to ruling against Trump than Gorsuch is.

Of course, everyone will likely feel justified in hating him when the Trump v Hawaii decision is released, unless it's 8-1 or something in favor of Trump.

The author addresses how to reduce the amount of notification spam in slack, but doesn't really get to the root of why there are so many notifications in the first place.

At Rendevu (https://rendevu.co), we think that's because people are attempting to use slack for more than it is -- mainly, using it to broadcast team information (documents / decisions / faqs), that then get pushed above the fold in channels by memes / gifs / other chatter, and then have to be reposted again and again.

We're building an intelligent feed that aggregates information from the tools you already use (Gsuite / Trello / Slack), and gives your team one place to stay on top of things. It's in alpha right now, but feel free to sign in and try it at https://rendevu.co. Any feedback is much appreciated :)
My reading of SCOTUSBlog implies that they in fact were fairly careful to imply that today's ruling does not affect stingray use.

But even Dang is just a single person. We really need to design systems (social networks) that encourage this type of thoughtful debate. Right now, all the incentives in social media are around "engagement" (upvotes, likes, retweets, large amounts of comments)
Astounding achievements. You rock. I would love to hear more.
These two claims conflict in a very perverse manner:

Many deployments still allocate different IP addresses to
different services, so that different services can be
identified by their IP addresses. However, content
distribution networks (CDN) commonly serve a large number of
services through a small number of addresses.

...

The decoupling of IP addresses and server names, the
deployment of DNS privacy, and the protection of server
certificates transmissions all contribute to user privacy.

This logic says that we have more privacy when resources are centralized behind commercial CDNs.

WTF!?

The truth is that it's a complex trade-off. But IMO long-term in terms of privacy I think we're better off discouraging CDN and Cloud centralization. At least in the big developed countries it's easier to put legal limits in place to prohibit ISPs from snooping than it is to control upstream content providers and their agents.

The RFC conflates censorship in authoritarian regimes with privacy. I understand the very real and legitimate issues with censorship, but it's disingenuous to sell SNI encryption as a privacy-enhancing measure for everybody else. SNI encryption adds little marginal benefit in censored jurisdictions because authoritarian regimes can and will terminate HTTP connections (e.g. Great Firewall). But SNI encryption could do tremendous long-term harm because it creates a system where, perversely, privacy is "improved" by everybody moving their content distribution to CDNs and the Cloud.

Furthermore, even if you can trust the promises of someone like Cloudflare to not sell data, the more traffic they proxy the more enticing a target they become.

Centralization is risky. Centralization premised on dubious arguments is just plain bad policy and poor stewardship.

I don't know whether it's the truth, but in my country it's universally accepted opinion among many people that most middle-east terrorists are created and financed by the US. Given the fact that western forces utterly failed to fight ISIS until Russia was involved and then tried to oppose Russia as much as possible (yet Russia still crushed ISIS), it doesn't look very unlikely for me. So one possible way for the world is to have reduced terrorism which might help even the ordinary americans.
My apologies. What I'm trying to say with that overly-loaded statement is that IRC values people for who they are and doesn't judge a book by its cover.
If you read the history of Madagascar, you'll find a rolling disaster of civil war, extreme corruption, and barely functioning government systems with few consistently protected human rights. Some of that is finally, maybe, starting to turn in a positive direction with increased stability.

Transparency International ranks Madagascar at #155 on their corruption perception index. That's not a slightly bad ranking, that means they barely have a functioning system because it's so riddled with corruption. Their neighbors on the ranking are: Zimbabwe, Cambodia, Haiti, Myanmar, etc. Venezuela for reference is presently #169.

So that's one way they're (unfortunately) different.

Heritage ranks Madagascar #119 on their economic freedom index. They receive a 32/100 score on property rights, 19/100 on government integrity, 21/100 on judicial. Their summary on rule of law:

"Although the legal structure provides protections for private property rights and secured interests in property are recognized if not entirely enforced, the vast majority of farmers do not hold the official rights to their land. A lack of training, resources, and personnel hampers judicial effectiveness, and case backlogs are lengthy. Corruption is pervasive at all levels of government."

Ask HN: Is it GraphQL best practice to limit root query types?
I was looking at the GitHub GraphQL API (https://developer.github.com/v4/query) and noticed that they only expose a few root query types.

For example, to get a pull request you must use the `repository` Query type and access a pull request through the `Repository` object fields.

{
repository(name: 'test') {
pull_request(number: 2) {
title
}
}
}

You can't just access a pull request by ID via a root query type:

{
pull_request(id: 12345) {
title
}
}

Is this a recommended practice? Is there an argument for limiting root query types in favor of using nested object types to keep the schema cleaner?

>> laundry industry is outdated and commodified

This tends to be the opening salvo for many of this type of "target market X for segment Y" - why do you think this is true? What's outdated, the way we do laundry, or the elements we use? While you might argue doing laundry in your own home is outdated, I'm not sure you can say the same thing for the detergents and additives as a visit to your box store will readily show many new products tailored to increasingly niche segments and use-cases.

If you're selling "axe body spray for laundry" that's one thing, but don't tell me P&G is "outdated" when it comes to the science behind detergent vs. a couple of guys in a dorm room.

>> there’s a growing number of U.S. men doing laundry

For themselves where they want a "masculine fragrance" or for their families where mom doesn't want her delicates to smell like "New Jersey Turnpike"?

I get that you're trying to rebrand a commodity market via hip styles and personal delivery, but find it a little disingenuous that you position this as a better way to do laundry.

That said, although I'm part of the demographic change in who does laundry I'm most definitely not your target market.
As a man who is willing to pay a premium to try out stuff like this at least to see if I like it or if I believe there is any type of quality improvement, something that disappoints is that it seems to play to traditional male & female fragrance stereotypes.

For example, I really like lavender scented things, and don’t really care if it’s not traditionally masculine. But all these new “lootkit-like” popup brands, like Birchbox or this brand, seem to pigeonhole the intended customer base in a way that seems needlessly overly specific.

I guess I can’t argue if it turns out to be profitable for them. But I’d imagine the types of men who would consider this in the first place are less worried about whether this stuff looks Traditionally Masculine, like the obligatory section of dark-hued, woodsy and musky products you see tucked in some corner of a Sephora or the fragrance section of a department store.

Why not just focus on making nice, quality things of a wide variety, and let people choose? Why does the business have to be fundamentally _about_ one particular stylization of “masculine” home goods?

> if you do buy, there is hope that the money will eventually improve things

Not with the current model of economic exploitation pursued by western firms. They will never get the money because the companies operating the plantations simply don't have to give it to them and Madagascar's ability to govern itself is completely compromised by outside money.

"how it is sexist?"

Unwelcome sexual advances are covered under EEOC guidelines regarding hostile workplaces, under US civil rights laws. In this case, the pressure to go on a date would be described as an implicit term or condition of an individual's employment.

I enjoyed reading the EEOC guidelines on sexual harassment, some years back. It was a real eye-opener to have relatively objective descriptions of what sexual harassment in the workplace means, and to read case stories of what was judged to be sexual harassment.
I also prefer IRC but in this case it doesn't really improve anything. The opposite really, no build-in search, no easy onboarding, no central logs,...
