I tried supplementing with magnesium, and the severity (but not the frequency) of migraine attacks definitely decreased. Ultimately I gave up on Mg because of the gastrointestinal side effects.

Butterburr extract has a couple of clinical trials as a preventative, but I didn't find that it did anything for me.

Chlorpheniramine maleate (the antihistamine) worked as a preventative, reducing both severity and frequency of attacks, but I didn't like the side effects (it's also an SNRI) and discontinuation was ugly.
I'm interesting in hearing about your education background, your current field and your general location, if you don't mind sharing.
These are dreadful reasons. The first is silly, for the second you shouldn't share that stuff with investors without having a conversation, and the third is a problem whatever the transmission system (unethical people aren't going to be stopped that easily).

Especially since Docsend supposedly let you download PDFs if you log in.

I rarely open docsend docs and never on cold pitches. Using other tracking links is an automatic fail. You already can imagine why.

I do like having the deck in my inbox so that when the pitch changes I can see what they once did. Lots of founders will do multiple companies and abandon failures early, and I want to be able to see what they pitched me on six months ago.

I don't think you necessarily need to put all of that stuff in the deck (and certainly not proprietary data) but you are effectively sending people a shortened URL for your stuff that will die in a few weeks.

> It is impossible to sell raw-milk cheese in the United States.

I've bought plenty of raw mil cheeses (domestic and imported) in the US.

http://www.realrawmilkfacts.com/raw-milk-regulations says:
"In 1987, the FDA mandated pasteurization of all milk and milk products for human consumption, effectively banning the shipment of raw milk in interstate commerce with the exception of cheese made from raw milk, provided the cheese has been aged a minimum of 60 days and is clearly labeled as unpasteurized."

As many cheeses are aged more than 60 days, the ban on "raw-milk cheeses" is basically an urban myth.
The opener now has to think about whether the sender is tracking them and what information is shared.
TIL about .oz.
There are states in the US where you can buy raw milk cheese legally. You just can't do it through interstate commerce, but for example it can be done in person at farmer's markets with cash. New York is one such state, I dunno about the other major tech hub states.
Here in China, where privacy is rampant, P2P dies because of lack of public IPs.
I gave up on Facebook about 10 months ago because of my friends there, most people who kept posting something were Commies/Putinists - which is a Russian equivalent of Trump supporters - those with liberal views just stopped posting. For me, it became a conservative outlet. I no longer saw anything of value for me there, and just deleted my account.
If Cooper is innocent then, in my view, those who obstructed his exoneration are as guilty as those who framed him - and if he is executed, then what they are all guilty of is the moral equivalent of murder.
You don’t need a lawyer to comply with the law is a weird statement to put out there. You should retract.

And they've since released the ESP32 which adds a second CPU core for dedicated application code, as well as Bluetooth support and many other hardware peripherals. All for a few dollars. It's quite an amazing controller.
i agree with your assessment that we are artificially constraining city populations. i feel it's more than just the engineering potential that limits a city's capacity. consider the political climate, the economic environment, the sunk cost by existing home owners, businesses, and city services, the accumulated technical debt of legacy construction practices, artificial boundaries developed by cities to bolster real estate values, and not to mention the accumulated debt of a city like san francisco which the last i read was at $10B. there are a lot of forces at play to gain consensus especially when you have significant momentum moving along a trajectory started easily 30 years ago that lead us to where we are today.

more importantly, it's far easier to create incentives to entice companies with high economic value and high paying jobs to an area with few competitive forces.
Oh it's real enough, since there are also plenty of cheeses which are aged under 60 days and not traditionally pasteurized. It's also relevant for making yogurt and butter in traditional ways, though one can start with pasteurized and get an okay enough result.

But as I said in another reply to the parent poster, there are states which allow raw milk products in intrastate (but not interstate) commerce.

[Edit: Wow my text got mangled by autocorrect. Fixed so that it makes sense now!]
This has nothing to do with the physical form of the media. Of course everything is digital and has been for decades.

The root of the problem is that to make an academic career you have to publish is one of those journals. When you apply for a new position, the first thing they look for is how many papers you have published in high profile journals.
You see the same thing in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, etc. In the US, on average if you want to see a better form of political discourse, you have to move toward more local politics (whether state, county, city, town).

Sweden = local politics. It's a small nation. 25% of their population lives in just four cities.

Directly comparing the whole of the US to Sweden is absurdity. One would expect a dramatic increase in messy national politics if you took 33 Swedens and put them under a Federal authority.

The Earth is, after all, an organic computer, and humans are ideas with bodies, thrown into a contest of the fittest. Maybe the planet is just a single cosmic neuron, whose output will be the surviving ideas, weighted by how many humans support them.
>With the cost of rolling out an MVP (minimum viable product) lowering every year, many startups think you need a prototype in order to raise a seed round.

I might argue that it’s the opposite. We hit peak MVP, there is too much competition, all the Low hanging fruit is gone, and we’re going to have to go back to the days where we raised seed capital off of a business plan because you can build much in today’s market as an MVP. The app days are gone.
You're comparing a survey (NHANES), which is a questionnaire completed by volunteers, to an active treatment medical study with a placebo control group. Comparing the N count between these two is essentially apples to oranges.

As to the results of the salt intake survey (Pogoda et al.), it is describing a correlation, not a causation. The actual relationship between salt intake and migraines could also be inverted, or completely independent.

This article gives very little evidence to support the claim that AI will never be capable of doing everything a human can do. On the other side Of the argument I’m still very convinced by the fact that our brains are physical things doing some sort of computation, so computers will one day be able to achieve anything that our brain computation can achieve.

List of GDPR policies and examples of emails sent
If you see nothing wrong with moving websites into the category of buildings, aircraft, medical devices, etc... what are you doing on HN? The entire ethos of this community is free and casual, sometimes entrepreneurial experimentation with networked software. It may be necessary to end that for the greater good, but that’s not something to take lightly.

US law has surprising respect for the hacker ethos, so that even in highly regulated activities, there is a much less rigorous licensing regime for small-scale practitioners. . Experimental aircraft certificates, private pilot licensing, amateur radio licensing, etc. You can build yourself a car, cook food for a party, etc. without being subject to the laws about those activities under corporate mass manufacture.
I have created this from email notifications received in the past 4 weeks.

It might be helpful to a company that is unsure about the types of polices to implement and how to communicate the changes to their customers.

Please feel free to contribute to the project if you see any really good examples of the GDPR being implemented.
The biggest difference is that most software is not trying to figure out the vagueness of human language. It's much easier to get a few apps working and fix a few bugs than getting natural language processing working with a level of accuracy.
On my list to fix. It's interesting, doesn't see like everyone is getting this issue.
Thank you! This post starts to show some of the huge complexities that GDPR has for business and their understanding of what the terms of the law mean.

A point is that often statements of a law are defined not by the language but by the ruling of lawsuits that occur around those statements and that is what most companies and lawyers are waiting for, what do courts rule when these lawsuits happen.

The biggest issue that I have heard of (Im no expert) is what does the right to be forgotten actually mean ? Does that mean all your backups are now illegal as you are retaining the customers information after they asked you to remove their records?

I think some of the fear that smaller business have is that this will encourage lawsuits until people understand how the courts will rule on each item.

In Which the CPU Changes My Data Under My Nose
This is just bad data journalism.
No, I'm talking about a lot more settings than that including things about terminal emulation and keyboards. Next time you use PuTTY, try opening up the settings window for an existing session and see how many can be changed without having to restart afresh.

Some of these could be changed in various more disjointed ways in Linux or Windows, but it's nicely unified and cross-platform in PuTTY.

I'll admit I rarely leverage this flexibility, but it's cool enough that it seemed worth noting in this sub-thread about singing PuTTY's well-deserved praises.
I feel like I'm alone on this so I'll speak up. I convincingly hear Larry. Are there any other claims or do people pretty much just claim to hear Yanny or Laurel?

If you have the motivation to learn, it can be done. "Higher mathematics" is a bit broad, but you can choose a more specific topic you're interested in, get a textbook and work through the exercises. When you get stuck, find someone you can discuss your solution attempts with, either in person or e.g. on MathOverflow. If you realize that you're missing some prerequisites, get a textbook on those and recurse. Don't expect this process to be faster or require less work than getting a degree.

For what it’s worth, I used the HN submit bookmarklet. I didn’t deliberately choose the title.
2 + 2 = 4 is a pretty low-information statement: "4" has very little meaning other than "the symbol we assign to the value 2 + 2". 2 + 2 = 1 + 3 is a bit more interesting. 9 < π² < 10 is more interesting still, even though it is just as true as 2 + 2 = 4.

"I heard 'Laurel'" is also a very different statement from "The recording says 'Laurel.'" If you heard "Laurel," you heard "Laurel," nobody can tell you otherwise. But you might not have heard what was actually on the recording. Someone might have overdubbed a distorted version of "Yanny."

I don't know about healthy, but if my goal is the shared pursuit of knowledge and truth, someone who's able to meaningfully distinguish the ways in which they're confident of these various statements will be much more helpful to me than someone who does not. (Unless that person is a superhuman oracle who simply knows the truth of all things and does not need to reason about them, in which case, Lord, I am not worthy...)

It’s easy enough to rule out. When I have a migraine and haven’t had Gatorade in a while, I’ll guzzle some down (preferably cold enough for a cold headache). It’s definitey not affecting the large majority of my migraines, but I at least know I tried that avenue too.
Wow, I found it depends on which way I'm moving the slider. If starting from the left, I continue to hear laurel until right around the very right side. If I start on the right, and move it left, I start to hear yanny more and more. Even on positions where I was certain I heard laurel when coming left-to-right.

A viral site, that has had multiple news writeups, meant to educate the general public about an increasingly common scam seems exactly like the thing I want my tax dollars used on.

Its such a good example, that it has now made the front page twice on a site with people that are generally much more educated about the matter than most people. The project is not only educating the public, but was likely a lot of fun for all involved, helping to retain people in public service when salaries are already low and has people quitting in protest in droves due to the current administration.
At least on iOS, apps cannot get the phone number of the device through any APIs in the iOS SDK (AFAIK). So no app on the platform can reliably confirm if the number you entered is the number of the device. They all assume that to be true when you confirm the code they send by SMS. As another reply here has put it, you just need a device to receive the code via SMS. You can then use that code on any other device to set it up.

Ask HN: How do I correctly build a global marketplace?
Hey everybody,

I am a junior dev building a marketplace

I would like to release it eventually so I have a few questions that I figure some of you might know a thing or two about:

1. What kind of payment gateways should I use?
I have already configured Stripe and Braintree (for PayPal support), however I want to tackle most international markets, specially Latin America where many do not have international credit cards, how can I ensure that most people can buy through my platform? What are the best tools?

2. How do I manage different currencies?
Imagine a brazilian buyer wants to buy a product that is in $, should I convert prices through established rates or should I allow the sellers to add their own prices for each currency they want? (what would happen if they dont specify a certain currency?). How do I take cuts from different currencies? Do I need bank accounts in each currency and establish businesses in each country?

3. Refunds
What happens if someone wants a refund or a partial refund? What if the customer pays in dollars but his card is european and the market rate changes, how should that refund be processed? does the gateway take care of that or must it be done manually?

4. Taxes and importing fees
How do I correctly charge and set taxes? If the seller is from one country and offers a certain product, the buyer can be from the same country and state, different state, different country or different continent, how do taxes vary in those cases and how are they set depending on the type of product?

5. Legal ramifications?
What happens if someone buys something and the seller does not deliver it? Or if he does deliver it but the seller says it never arrived? Or they deliver a different product? What should I do? Can I be made legally responsible for these situations?

I know this is a really big undertaking but it motivates me, so please dont shoot me down, just looking for friendly advice (mentorship would be great!)

Thanks!
Yes. You can sell alcohol to Saudi Arabians from Canada. You cannot ship to Saudi Arabia. The buyer may pick up in another location where alcohol is legal including in person in Canada. What they do with the alcohol once in their possession is their business.
> > information that you don't need to do the job

For example, my business model might be to ask you for your login and password information for your bank so that I can help myself to the contents of your bank account. In return I'll send you a newsletter on how to get rich quick :-)

I doubt you are asking seriously, but in case you are, the distinction is: if I need the information to complete the contract, then it is under contract basis and I'm allowed to use it for that purpose. If it's not needed for completing the contract, but I have a legitimate reason for using the data anyway (kind of vague, but includes marketing -- basically all the stuff that was legal before GDPR) I can do so, but I need to tell you I'm doing it. You can object and then I have to stop. If I have no legitimate reason for using the data, but I want to anyway, I can still do it. I need to ask for your consent (which has to be opt in). My service can't depend on you opting in (because I have no legitimate reason for needing the data). I can't deny service just because you opt out. You can also withdraw your consent at any time.

So in my silly example at the top, I could literally ask for consent to use your login details for you bank. If you agreed, I could use them. However, since I have no legitimate interest in your bank login details (other than I wanna look at your bank balance), I can't make my service depend on that.

If your business model is based on making money from data that you have no legitimate interest in and you have no consent for... well, I really, truly have no sympathy at all. I understand that some people may have a different opinion, but I don't think mine is really that unreasonable.
