Death by Average Talk Time

Biography Of An Artifact
http://www.artifactsteach.com/about/
Teaching with artifacts in elementary education can bring history alive for students. They can learn a lot just from the artifact’s biography. Start with simple questions like: What is this? Who made it? How? Then what happened? A single artifact can pass through many cultures through trade, and the biography of the artifact itself becomes one of the primary tools for teaching about other cultures. As students learn how to use artifacts in the classroom, they begin to differentiate between what they observe and what they infer about an object. Students build stories about the artifact through observations and speculations. The next layer of inquiry is proving the stories with other primary and secondary sources.

Hi,

I am working on a portfolio of projects for potential employment. Are there any designers or students who are working on a design portfolio that need programming assistance? I work with a Python/Django/MYSQL/nginx stack and can provide you with free domain hosting and tons of storage space. You provide the templates and tell me your vision and the functionality you want and I will develop it.

Show HN: Some Synth Music I made
https://soundcloud.com/n_o_w_h_e_r_e/sets/the-lights
Seems like there has been an increase interest in music creation and / or synth hardware / software. I was digging around my files and found a couple of 'unreleased' tracks from a few years back. I have historically used soft synths but for a stretch back in 2014-17 I switched to all 'real hardware'. There are tradeoffs to both approaches.
Is there a site where freelancers can post a bounty for new projects?
There are plenty of sites where freelancers can bid on existing projects. But does anyone know of a site where freelancers and small agencies can put a bounty on referrals to new gigs?
For example -- I run a small web shop and would pay generously for a referral that leads to a good project. Say, 10% ??

I've got an idea for a new website and I would like to validate it here on HN and in other places...

executed by a cron manager or scheduled task manager.

LulzSec vs The Sun: a Case Study?

If article is correct, Lulz exploited an XSS vulnerability they found on a server running an old version of the newspaper web site as the initial penetration point. They then attacked the content management platform from the compromised server. Nothing innovative, illuminating or new about the attack methods. Just another case of poor inventory/patch management, lax log/monitoring practices.

Show HN: Getstarted.social – Easy-to use follow suggestions for Mastodon
https://getstarted.social/
Mastodon is cool, but finding the first people to follow on other servers and figuring out how to follow them is a messy experience.

I quickly hacked together this prototype site to see if it was possible to have Twitter-style follow suggestions where you can click and follow someone without manually copy-and-pasting links from Google sheets into search bars.

It was also an excuse to see how Mastodon's remote-follow API works. The following is done client-side so no information is shared with this server.

Show HN: Roast Our Twitter CRM and DM Management App
https://www.firstx.ai/
Hi,

We're giving away free beta tester accounts for our Twitter CRM/DM management app.

We're building it to help fellow bootstrapped founders find their first customers on Twitter.

Would appreciate you test driving it and let us know if it's useful for you?

All we need are your feedback about the app to help us make it better...

Here's a link to sign up for the beta: https://www.firstx.ai/private-beta

A little more about why we built this:

We know if you're actively networking with a lot of people on Twitter to promote your business or project, your inbox can get confusing pretty quick.

So we built FirstX.

It's designed to help you segment who to follow up with, when to follow up, who said they were interested, or needed a link from you or whatever...

We built one dashboard, where you can find Twitter users to connect with using hashtags, keywords or URLs, and you can send, and group your Twitter DMs without losing track of your contacts...

And also, we've managed to build a small waitlist of 200+ people using just Twitter outreach.

But here's the thing... when we launched our ads on Twitter, we got only less than 10 conversions from over 80k visits!

We're still trying to figure out why it seemed nobody was interested. Let us know if you find anything?

Again, here's the link to our private beta - and please don't hold back!

So I am asking for HN-ers to join forces. I am looking for web designers and developers and programers and all kinds of hackers. Anyone who believes s/he has something to offer.

I am looking to build a dream team of 10-15 talented people who can come together, talk about a specific problem to tackle and build a solution together.

If you are interested, reply here or email me at kanewyler@gmail.com

How to organize personal/work knowledge without creating duplication
Hi!

I wanted to ask you all how you handle your notes and knowledge working at your company. Often information has some connection to what you work on, and what you learn is coupled to the work. You might not be allowed to transfer it to something outside the company.

When studying I had my knowledge organized in anki and long time storage in google drive (duplication to private nas), but now when working I use Onenote that is linked to my corporate email. If I quit, my notes are gone.

Basically to keep information for later personal use I would need to duplicate the information and also strip work related information to be allowed to store it.

How do you handle this conflict? Do you, for example, don't bother with keeping a private file, or do you try to migrate your knowledge base when you change jobs? Do you have any good way of working (WoW) for storing learning/references/notes for future use?

ShowHN: LoveThisSong, insta-share your songs from iPhone to Facebook
http://lab.welaika.com/post/36658905097/a-matter-of-love
When it comes to music, it’s always a matter of love. Some songs speak so perfectly about what we are and what we feel, that we are bound to them as if we were their authors.

The iPod changed the way we listen to music. Its shuffle mode surprises us with the right song at the right time, and it often seems like magic.

In those moments, you want to share your feelings with friends you care about the most, but sometimes it can be hard.

You are probably hung in a crowded train and you are using your iPhone with just one hand. You want your friends to listen to the whole song you’re listening to, and the best way to do this is by sharing the YouTube video on Facebook. This can be hard. You need to type, to scroll and a read a list on a small screen, to tap, and tap, and tap again.

Or you can use Love This Song!.

Screenshot of Love This Song!

Love This Song! is an iPhone app that makes this all simpler and more beautiful. As soon as you open it, you see the videos of the song you’re listening to. Each video is shown full screen, so you don’t have to squint to read the title or to see the thumbnail. You can play the videos, and when you decide to share one of them, you just have to double tap the Love This Song! huge magenta button (patent pending) and you’re done.

If you feel like doing it, you can write a message and publish it with the video, by just tapping once the button.

Try it now: it’s simple, it’s beautiful, it’s free.

Mathematical Curiosity
About a month ago I noticed that this year every one born from 1900 - 1999 in a year where the last 2 digits add up to ten turned the inverse of those two digits. e.g. 1973>37,1964>46 etc. Are there any recommended links for similar math curiosities?
