Ask HN: Voting System for Office Lunches?
3 by zizhouwang | 0 comments on Hacker News. Off the bat, I enjoy the free lunch at the my office, mostly because it is free. Somedays when it isn't very good, I skip it, and so do other people, there is sometimes a lot of food waste. I was wondering if people would like to have a service that gave you a few options for each day for the following week, and you can vote/rate your interest. The rationale is that people have an opinion on what they are going to eat. Would this be something you want to use?

Ask HN: How can I 3D print my skeleton for research?
36 by i_am_good | 49 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN, I would like to 3D print my skeleton to observe bone structure/features. 1. What kind of medical scanning would be appropriate for this case? Where can I get such a scan and pay (out of pocket) for it? Are there any dangers, and if serious, is it worth the fun of replicating your own skeleton? 2. What kind of medical scanning hardware would best suit my need? Does it support exporting imaging data for later 3D printing? 3. What's the best 3D printer (or printing service company) and material to print the imaging data from the scanning? Thanks for your assistance!
Ask HN: Is GDPR hurting European tech valuations and acquisitions?
9 by seibelj | 12 comments on Hacker News. I heard a concerning anecdote from a friend. He (American) was trying to make a relatively small acquisition of a European SaaS business. 6 figure deal for a company with ~100k MATU. They were running out of cash and needed to be acquired. Ultimately the deal did not go through because of GDPR. I am fuzzy on the exact details, but he claimed that per GDPR requirements, every single customer would have to sign back up for the service and they could not be shifted over to the new company without explicitly opting in. So the MATU would be zero until they re-acquired the users. So the deal did not go through and the company shut down. Has anyone else noticed issues with European valuations and M&A because of GDPR?
Ask HN: What's with the state of open-source dictionaries?
21 by Bodell | 11 comments on Hacker News. I've been writing recently, using libreOffice. Not very far in, but I've already have had to add a fairly long list of words to the dictionary. I also have noticed that the browser highlights a lot of these as well. So my question is whats going with the state of of these open source dictionaries, and how do we fix it? List words below: amongst another's cohabitate conception decontextualized depersonalization easeled else’s experientially gamified incompatibilist incongruencies oxymoronic pathologies replicable tangly telecom unimpassioned unmoving untransmittable
Ask HN: Was GitHub Hacked or Me?
165 by scottndecker | 42 comments on Hacker News. http://bit.ly/2HZ4VQ7 That's my page. My other github pages are working fine, but that one redirects to a crazy screen with a lighting strike gif, an email address, and something about "muslim cybersecurity". I changed the A records to put up a parking lot page and that worked, so I think it's something around github. As soon as I add the A records and CNAME records back to point to github, the hacked page goes back up. How do I fix this?
