Foc.us, a GoFlow/tDCS alternative
http://www.foc.us/
From GoFlow's newsletter:

Some sad news.
And some good news too.
As most have you have probably noticed, we haven't made much progress on the GoFlow project in the last 6 months. We hit some obstacles, both in the business and in our personal lives, that kept us from making the progress we wanted.

We love tDCS and can't wait to see it become available to everyone. Unfortunately, it looks like we won't be the people making that happen. However, our friends at Foc.us have just launched and offer a great alternative.

Thank you all for your incredible support throughout the last year, we wish we could have successfully gotten GoFlow into your hands.

Some exciting news!
Our friends over at foc.us have just launched, and they have devices for sale!

We wanted to make sure to leave you with an alternative.

We've been in contact with the guys over a foc.us for quite awhile now. They're some pretty awesome folks who are incredibly smart.

They just started selling their tDCS device last week, and have a limited quantity available. They have achieved much of what we were attempting to, and we're really excited to see where they go.
Check out the Foc.us tDCS device!

Ask HN: job or no job?
I'm at possibly my last year in college. The last months I've been working on as a remote developer for a company in order to get enough runway for living this year without working for another company.

I'd like to finish college and start a business this year but the problem is the ideas I've doesn't motivate me enough to pursue them, so I don't have a specific idea in mind in order to start working on it right away.

1) Continue working for the company and try to come up with an interesting idea for a business. I won't have free time to experiment with new things but I'll have extra money to use, maybe, in an intelligent way.

2) Stop working and invest the time learning new things, talking with people, making small projects... Maybe this way I'll come up with an idea faster than (1). But I have to take into account the opportunity cost here.

3) Maybe I can get some freelance projects while doing (2) but taking care of not converting that to (1).

I'd like to know what you think about it, what option(surelly there are more) do you think is best, maybe you could help me realize something I'm not considering.

Securing your Password Database with bcrypt
http://blog.mgm-tp.com/2013/02/securing-your-password-database-using-bcrypt/
Do you also spend sleepless nights because you have saved the passwords of your users in clear text or near-clear text (MD5)? We will show you a simple method how you can smoothly migrate your password database to a much more secure format. The transition is transparent to the users and instant, i.e. as soon as you have implemented the process, your passwords are safe. If you still store your passwords in an insecure format, you should convert them to a secure format as soon as possible. Do it now!

How to teach entrepreneurial lessons to children
http://yfsmagazine.com/2013/07/26/how-to-teach-entrepreneurial-lessons-to-your-children/#axzz2uGxK5QGM
going through a bunch of articles hoping to glean some ideas as to how to pass on entrepreneurship to our youngest generation.

perhaps it's obvious, but i think teaching our children that failure is okay as long as a lesson is learned and applied next time is possibly the greatest lesson of them all.

would love to get additional thoughts on this.

Why is it that one of the most ubiquitous and essential devices can be so hard to manage? Surely if bills were presented in more meaningful ways, we might be better placed to control our phone usage?

Ask HN: Best over-ear headphones 2015
So this question has been discussed multiple times in many different forums. I've read tons of (often conflicting) advice and recommendations and I'm still none the wiser. I appreciate this is a subjective topic, and so no exhaustive ranking will ever exist. That said I know many of you will relate to my use case: I work as a software engineer in a shared office space, I want to listen to music whilst I work, I want some level of screening from background noise, be it a byproduct of good audio itself, or some form of passive/active noise canceling. Until recently I had a pair of Bose QC15s which were revolutionary to me when I first tried them (likely because I'd never spent more than $50 on headphones). I would be tempted to go ahead and get the updated QC25 and think nothing more of it. I have read however that whilst the noise canceling is by far the best, some amount of audio quality is compromised as a result. I'm now leaning toward something more refined, that isn't making such compromise. My problem is cutting down the myriad of options to a list I can actually attempt to compare myself. As such I'd love to try and get some consensus on the top five options (at least in terms of popularity) for the scenario I describe.

Thank you all in advance!

Show HN: Hyperlocal DNSSEC Validating Unbound Docker Image
https://github.com/madnuttah/unbound-docker
Hello there!

I've built a secure and trustworthy NLnetLabs Unbound Docker image as the most images didn't meet my standards on a zero trust policy. It supports DNSSEC, is sealed with chroot, runs with a non-root user and exposes only unprivileged ports. It is intended to provide a hyperlocal setup holding a local copy of the DNS root zone using zone transfers though but it will also run perfectly with your own unbound.conf if you'd rather like to use an upstream server which provides DoT or DoH features. So if your ISP's DNS servers having issues, you won't be affected at all. This setup will also add a plus on circumventing censorship using blocked DNS entries and adds a little more privacy but your ISP will still be able to see what you did there anyway.

The image is built entirely online using workflows with GitHub Action and not locally on my systems at home. All downloads, even the downloads of the root files, are verified with PGP keys and the respective PGP armored signature files where available to provide maximum trust.

It's a quite tiny Alpine Linux multiarch image and the architectures are on par with the architectures Pi-hole uses. In fact, it is a perfect complement for Pi-hole as an upstream server if you are already running Pi-hole for ad blocking and tracking prevention. As I wrote on my GitHub page, it was created with Pi-hole in mind. And with lots of love.

I hope you enjoy the image and forgive me my shameless promotion^^ of my open source project. :)

Just come and visit my GitHub repository https://github.com/madnuttah/unbound-docker if you'd like to learn more about this project. If you'd like to contribute, you're very welcome.

Cheers and wishing all the best,
madnuttah
Tell HN: Some more details on auction for lunch with PG today evening
The original post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1863923

I got following info from a person managing the auction about how the auction works and thought I would post it here in case someone is interested:

"When you purchase tickets for the auction (either at the auction, or in advance at the Bing Nursery School office), you will get a bidder package that contains stickers with your registration barcode on them. You will place a sticker on the bid sheet of each item you wish to bid on, at the dollar amount you wish to bid at. There will be a bid sheet for each item, and bidders are able to bid, outbid, and bid again until the bidding reaches a dollar amount that nobody wants to exceed, or until the bidding closes on that section. since you are interested in a particular item, it should be fairly easy for you to see whether or not you have won the bidding. If I didn't explain it well here, I think it will make sense to you when you see the set-up."
