It's not as unhygienic as you imagine. The machete touches the outside of the coconut only, and then they make a hole on the top in such a way that the machete doesnt enter the main chamber where the water lives. Then you put a single use plastic straw in to suck out the water. There is no material exchange between the inside and outside, so the outside can be dirty and you'll be fine. I usually watch the guy do a few to make sure he isn't doing something weird before getting one for myself.

You should just need to get a handle on the host and port to use Devtools protocol to talk to the launcher headless chrome instance. If you use node.js to start it, you can get the port like this: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/a...

Then you can use PyChromeDevtools to connect to that host/port:

One thing I feel is missing in the world is a standardized way to talk about chili levels, like a more accessible Scoville scale that includes things like black pepper.

The lack of standardization makes it hard to know what you'll get.

Even in India, from region to region what is considered mild or spicy varies, e.g. a spicy dish in Pune can be less hot than a "mild" dish in Hyderabad.

Not justifying what she did, but YouTube's rules are non-transparent.

The rules need to be published, and if there is room for doubt in them (which there always is), there needs to be a process to raise grievances.

From what I've read other places, there is no one to talk to if you disagree with what YouTube has done, and they don't even tell you why.

That's not really true. You can use proxies with Headless Chrome using the --proxy-server command line parameter. And the API is richer that PhantomJS. See the underlying API documentation here: https://chromedevtools.github.io/debugger-protocol-viewer/to....

Actually, we just figured out how to do this. Details here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=741872...

I feel this is similar to a game design issue.

You want a game in which early levels are easy enough that it won't take too much skill to get through. [Basics of society, access to housing, clean water, health care..]

As you get to higher levels, there will be challenges that some players can't get through [amassing enough money to buy a yacht], but that's OK.

Some players have cheat codes not available to other players [laws to help special interests] because they have an in with the game designers [government], and that's OK too as long as it doesn't go too far.

It's not a big deal if the most skilled players can get to really high levels - that's not the issue.

It's when the most skilled players make the game unplayable by the average player that you have a problem.

Anyone suffering from back pain who really wants to recover should read Dr. John Sarno's work. Here's a link to his book: https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Back-Pain-Mind-Body-Connectio...

I was skeptical at first, but just reading his book and thinking through what he presented healed my lower back pain.

Where are you getting that data from? From what I have seen, public schools rely a lot on parental donations to go beyond a low base level of education, and city schools on average don't have as much parental involvement compared to good suburban schools, and so have less to spend overall per student.

Nice read, thanks for posting. I grew up in Zambia in the 80s I and live in SF now, and I never heard of Zamrock before.

This comment about young Zambians - "They marvel when they listen to Zamrock. They think Zambians could not have done that." - saddened me. It seems to apply to a lot of areas of life there now. There used to be a time when Zambians were self reliant, growing their own food and making their own goods, but now everything comes from South Africa and most Zambians are just consumers.
