Ah yes, debug parsing. Didn't that attract Torvalds' ire some time ago when it was found that it made systemd flood the kernels log buffer with "junk" data?

Then again the other guy in the systemd team, Sievers, have a long history of pissing the kernel people off with out of the blue unilateral decisions.

I just worry when their buddy GKH is given the reins of the kernel when Torvalds steps down...
I don't think they are trying to perpetrate a scam. But I do know local educators that spiked their pensions by working overtime right before they retired. The vast majority of the local school district budget goes to support pensions, not fix peeling paint or removing weeds which are visible on almost all local school grounds. This isn't an issue of underfunding. This is a problem that has resulted from mis-management.
> Why ... ?

Because I'm ok with it. I disagree with the narratives that are linking people to an assumed sexual intention (either as viewer or viewed, you don't get to speak about that for anyone else, unless you're protecting against badness), but I am okay with narratives like the one I advanced that are talking about political intentions / nation states. I just don't feel okay with the former, but feel okay with the latter. Former feels rude / inappropriate to me. Because it's too personal I think, not other people's business. It seems Wu feels the same way from what the whole issue of this topic is (VICE going off bounds into personal/ sexual) so please don't do it. But latter, commenting on her politically? I have zero issue with that. And I don't care if she's ok with political commentary or not because from my perspective, her actions make her fair political game. Some things are off limits. And I don't think people, through their language and behaviour, have a good enough understanding of that. Hope you got a better understanding now. Despite your attempt at a pithy equivalence, it's not the same. Hope you see that now. That's all.
I know, but BBC News is also one of my regular visits so it was a /useful/ captive redirect.

Some people have been able to successfully treat migraines, as well as cluster headaches, with hallucinogens such as psilocybin and LSD:

"These patients are in a desperate and vulnerable situation, and illicit psychoactive substances are often considered a last resort. There appeared to be little or no interest in psychoactive effects per se as these were rather tolerated or avoided by using sub-psychoactive doses. Primarily, psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide, and related psychedelic tryptamines were reportedly effective for both prophylactic and acute treatment of cluster headache and migraines. Treatment results with cannabis were more unpredictable. No severe adverse events were reported, but it was observed how desperation sometimes spurred risky behavior when obtaining and testing various treatment alternatives." [1]

"The authors interviewed 53 cluster headache patients who had used psilocybin or lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to treat their condition. Twenty-two of 26 psilocybin users reported that psilocybin aborted attacks; 25 of 48 psilocybin users and 7 of 8 LSD users reported cluster period termination; 18 of 19 psilocybin users and 4 of 5 LSD users reported remission period extension. Research on the effects of psilocybin and LSD on cluster headache may be warranted."[2]

There is growing evidence that hyperinsulemia is related to migraines. Insulin-resistant individuals and/or people with metabolic syndrome who suffer migraines could try lowering their insulin levels by removing fast-digesting carbohydrates (refined sugars, starches, junk food in general) and seeing if that helps.

>Karunarathne introduced retinal molecules to other cell types in the body, such as cancer cells, heart cells and neurons. When exposed to blue light, these cell types died as a result of the combination with retinal. Blue light alone or retinal without blue light had no effect on cells.

Users often flag stories like this because of high-inflammation, low-information threads will plenty of flameage and little thought. We've turned off the flags here so the discussion can continue, but commenters should please take extra care to post civilly and substantively. We're here to think, not fight.
Just keep a food log, mood log, sleep log, stress log, barometric pressure log, air quality log, oxygen level log, altitude log, brightness log, screen-time log, eye strain log, face-shoulder-neck tension log, spine pain log, head trauma log, and a blood pressure log.

Then you can hook up all the data into a recurrent neural network that finds the patterns in the data and lets you know what combination of conditions will give you migraines.

It's really easy to find all your migraine triggers if you follow these very basic steps.
are the unions really helping now? The unions are forcing the government to make unrealistic promises. The government is kicking the can down the road and the taxpayers aren’t willing to pay more in taxes now to either fully fund the pensions or pay the teachers more to make the profession more attractive without the promise of pensions later.

Everyone is complicit - the union, the politicians, and the taxpayers. If the unions were honest and told the teachers that the pensions they bargained for were illusory, the teachers would demand more pay now.

Show HN: Forms Done Right
I think these are the same thing though. You want to ensure that you have a hardware way of turning your camera off _because_ you know that ultimately you have no control of the software that runs on your laptop. If you had good software assurances you wouldn't need hardware switches. That's the same idea as 'being hacked' (malware, targeted or otherwise) or the threat thereof: that you wouldn't be in control.

To me, its just least-privilege applied. The camera needs to be used when _I_ want it. That's it. The OS doesn't get to decide, malware doesn't get to decide, they don't need access to activate it.
(Why) Is There a Public/Private Pay Gap?
Hello,
I'm a long time lurker at HN, and for obvious reasons cannot use my other handle. My partner and I built this in three weeks as a challenge to ourselves. It is is a form submission application with some cool capabilities like protected digital content downloads, custom webhooks, and a nice dashboard. One can point their contact/surveys/feedback forms to our endpoint and get nice visualizations, and integrations.
We are both backend developers and the most challenging part for us was to learn and use vue/vuex and build a modern SaaS application. We are proud of what we've achieved in three weeks! Hosted on AWS, uses Django + PostgreSQL

We would love to hear the community's critique.
Thanks!

google, facebook, whats app, microsoft. Basically the companies that pay for signal end to end encryption in their chat apps.

There are, I'm sure, apps that are better, and that's never been moxie's goal. He's said it over and over that he'd rather have encryption for the masses than the perfect messaging app. It seems disingenuous to assume that he's acting in bad faith when he's clearly doing exactly what he said he wanted to do.

If you want to make the prefect, self-hosted, chat eco system, fire up that matrix server and invite your non tech friends to join. I'm sure that will work out incredibly well.

In the mean time, Moxie seems to realize that to accomplish his goal and make communication incrementally more secure for average users, he needs to go where the users are.

It's crazy to me that people still think that secure communication is a technical problem. We've had GPG for the competent for a long time. The hard problems in secure communication are about using the eco systems that are available to large groups of average users and still being secure.
I'm also talking about the area around washington square park. The majority of the streets only allow one side of parking at any given time (with opposite side of the street parking for cleaning), where the streets are one way. Should a truck be doing any unloading on these streets, virtually no one can get through (where that is often true in midtown as well on regular streets..
Ah yeah, the Skype test call bot. I agree actually, this would be pretty handy to have.

That said, I really wouldn't be surprised if Discord gets to the point where they start supporting calling phone numbers directly. It's replaced a lot of voice communication channels with a segment of my friends since we all have it on our mobile phones.

> unlike firefighters or police officers, most retirees earn modest pensions of about $55,000 a year.

That’s a very misleading statistic - it represents an average service time of about 24 years, barely more than half of a career. Full-career retirees average 105% of their final year’s pay in pension benefits, or about double what’s quoted here.

You ISP most likely has really crappy transit/peering. It doesn't help much if the last mile is gigabit, if the mile before that is also gigabit and shared with thousand(s) other users.
Exactly, I don't see the problem? That's cheap. I'm sure when they switch off of lotus notes it'll cost several million.
> they would be funding a 401K alongside some sort of reasonable match from the state instead, much like the deal people in the private sector get.

While it may be a surprise for people who have worked in high demand fields, lots of workers in the private sector have no 401k offered, and of those that do, lots don't have any employer matching offered.
What the f*** is the edge?
Sorry I updated the post as I knew I would leave some things out as I am a mental wreck and this is long and complicated. I don't wear glasses. I have monovision from Lasik done 20 years ago and am starting to have presbyopia in the distance eye but it doesn't cause issues with CCFL displays or reading or anything else. I just have aapprox 3" window 10-12" from my face where neither eye is focusing well but displays are twice that far away and the doctor said it shouldn't matter or need correction. I have tried OTC readers with the close eye lens removed to try and close the gap and it doesn't seem to change this problem.

Refresh rates and software filters don't seem to matter so far. I have this strain by a well lit window with great natural light (sometimes oddly enough direct natural light can sort of "overpower" the sharpness of the display and make it look more like E-ink and it SEEMS less bad then but hard to tell once it begins. At night I have 4x 60w incandescents in my room with no real change overall. In stores with intense LED or tube lighting it happens just as fast.
Bargain? That's practically highway robbery (taking from the developer that is)! A developer making shitty modern react apps can make 180k a year with a bit of effort.

And I have no idea how many lotus maintainers there are left in the world. Definitely not that many.
It's actually not bad, given the way spending usually goes in government in the US. Roughly the cost of one decent engineer's salary in Baltimore (for that two years). I might have expected closer to $500,000 for two years instead.
I personally like the school voucher idea Trump was proposing during his campaign... Each student is given a voucher, as good as cash, and schools compete for students, leaving the decision to families on which school to go to. This also brings students that live in poor neighborhoods the opportunity to travel to a better school perhaps outside their district. Schools might even buy new buses and pick up students further away if it means getting their voucher money.
I was expecting way more. That's less than the salary I would expect them to pay a sysadmin over 2 years.
>Why invest in your company if you don't have the conviction that it will be worth more 3-6 months from now.

Because you think it will be worth more 3-6 years from now.

If your goal is to make secure communication possible for as many people as possible, you need to create an Android and iPhone app.
If the consequences of sending messages are torture and death, I wouldn't trust any form of electronic communication. That's what face to face meetings are for and have always been for. I did not think signal is insecure, but either party could be compromised in other ways like a key logger or other local software that intercepts messages on the device they are composed on. I certainly wouldn't trust any mobile os based app although desktop ones might not necessarily be better even if they both run on a Linux os that's fully open source. Most people are not up against such threats, so in most cases it doesn't matter. For the people that are, they are brave in using such software. I would never place my life in the hands of such software. I simply wouldn't trust any such software with my life. By comparison, the software in my car or on a plane is a different matter but it's also engineered to different standards and has proven itself in a verifiable manner--I haven't died after much driving and many flights.

That’s a completely different discussion - at what level should we as a society fund public schools to ensure equal access? At the state level? At the federal level?

It’s so bad in some places that the more affluent parts of a district are trying to break off and form thier own district so they won’t have to fund the poorer parts.

What’s really bad is that California in particular pays the federal government more in taxes than they receive. The new federal tax laws made it even worse.

It’s not fair and I live in a state that sees net inflows of federal tax money.

I listened to your Kara Swisher interview recently and one part stood out above everything else. You admitted that if you had not been accepted by YC, you would likely not have had the success you've had.

That kind of honest self-reflection is something sorely missing in Silicon Valley. Far too many people think their success was inevitable and completely self-made. Very few acknowledge the very rare kinds of help they received, and for a small turn in fortune, might not have received.

It's a great thing that you've not forgotten how different your life could have been without opportunity. And it's a beautiful thing that you're using your success to extend that opportunity to others.

I'm sure your resources are limited now but hopefully over time you will expand the grant (or investment) to help more people and with more money.

Congrats and good luck!
