Craftsmanship means we should refuse to work in dysfunctional environments
http://blog.jonasbandi.net/2010/06/craftsmanship-means-we-should-refuse-to.html
Accepting dysfunctional environments is a sign of resignation, it means that you accept that you will never deliver what you are capable of, in essence you are giving up on being a professional.

The team ran a collection of 82 new malware files through the VirusTotal system that checks files against around 40 different antivirus products, finding that the initial detection rate was a startling zero."

Show HN: MVP for my site SoSforguys. Nice things to say to your wife
http://sosforguys.com
Hi fellow HN members,<p>I'd like to get your feedback on my MVP for SoSforguys. Two days a month, we will email you nice things to say to your wife / girlfriend.<p>The idea came from my personal life. Several times, my wife asked me to say nice things about her. Being cornered, I found it difficult to come up with something nice to say without being too corny.<p>It is for this reason that I came up with the idea of SoSforguys. On any two random days of the month, you will get an email with nice things that you can say to your wife or girlfriend.<p>What do you think ?

Socialdecks: Enhancing education for the next generation.
http://www.socialdecks.com/
Users can sign up (for free!) and study/review topics of their choice in unique ways, such as regular flashcards, or by a number of browsing methods (cloud, tagbase system, matrix, list, hierarchical, etc). There are thousands of topics to choose from, and you can learn in the best method suited for you with ease and speed.

The "social" in Socialdecks comes from the power of connections made on Socialdecks. Users meet other respected members as societies based on their recognition on the leaderboard or respective profile badges, as well as even just by using useful/insightful decks built by masterminds. Users have made hundreds of connections on the site, and they have helped people learn and grow in an entirely new way.

Evey new feature released is taken under consideration for user response, user friendliness, and user usage. This is exemplified by the simplicity of such features as signing up, which requires only 3 quick and easy fields, card creation, which requires only 2 fields, or even deck compilation, which requires only 1 field to be filled out, then you click your way through the simple, interactive application to form your deck.

We don't force you to sign up for many of the features. In fact, in current setup, you can browse, search, view, analyze, and interact with the application, all without even signing up or logging in. But once you log in, a feature-rich application is at your fingertips, only 3 fields and a click away!

Some of our latest features include Socialdecks Groups, a portion of the site dedicated to classes and groups of people collaborating together on a single topic, such as a spanish class or physics class working together to study for an upcoming exam and the Socialdecks Online Store, a simple way to supplement your flashcard-based studying with textbooks.

As a startup, Socialdecks strives to enhance the education process by providing a feature-rich application free of charge to a responsive and interactive audience.

Coinbase party to fraud, allows $16,000 fraud.
From April 2014 through October, Coinbase permitted fraud transactions through "Bitcoin Trader" a now defunct fraudulent company. My requests to reverse the transactions were met with:
"The transactions on the blockchain are not reversable". However, on other occassions they were reversed. And, coinbase collects a fee each and every transaction and assumes a fiduciary responsibility for facilitating bitcoin transfters between buyer/seller. Thus, when you send bitcoins through coinbase, you can never know if the transactions are fraud or not. You could be getting ripped off, just like I was.
While coinbase made me verify my accounts, including a credit card and bank account to "prevent fraud" coinbase claims to "not know" who was on the other side of the transaction, that is, who is receiving the bitcoin. I I lost about 41 bitcoins or $16,000 in this transaction which Coinbase refuses to fix. Coinbase either knew who "Bitcoin Trader" was, or should have known. "Bitcoin Trader" claims to have been "hacked" and all bitcoins stolen. This should never happen through coinbase. Customers of coinbase beware!

Free Templates for Rapid Prototyping Apps
http://keynotopia.com/keynote-mockups-templates
Keynotopia released FREE templates for rapid prototyping apps a couple of weeks ago and I just noticed they've gotten 4000 tweets thus far! So I thought it might be a resource worth sharing :)

The templates have over 1000 vectors that you can drag and drop to create mockups/prototypes of mobile, web, and desktop apps. With just a few clicks, you can turn them interactive, can export them to phones/tablet (or keep on computer) to test them with users, clients, executives, and your team. With a few more clicks you can turn sketch-like prototypes (for user experience testing) to pixel-perfect final designs to get a real feel for how the final app will look/interact.

These mockups come in Apple Keynote format. Keynotopia also has templates in PowerPoint and Open Office.

Enjoy!
-Caroline

P.S. I'm a fan turned evangelist. My background is marketing, sales, recruiting (no design/coding experience). I've tried both their other PowerPoint and Keynote templates as well as their apps. These free mockups come in Keynote format.

Someone's heart flow moment as white noise
I found that limited conditions (time limit, no disruption) can push us into heart flow. for example, devaslife's newest youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GznmPACXBlY&t=436s) show that code without network was so impressed. and i love the keyboard voice combine natural white noise, so i cut it. make a site so i could listen frequently.

https://floice.vercel.app/ this is the white noise site, I had code with this white noise 2 days, and it give me super power.

so i want to know any other zen moment like this, a real world's heart flow work sound, so i could collect to make flow voices.
