Ask HN: What are some good examples/templates of business plans?
I'm specifically working on a SaaS company, and while I can draw from other business plans I've written, it's been many years since I've drafted one. Are there any examples or templates that provide a good outline for plans that are common to today's Web based or software based businesses? I'm not looking for silver bullets here, just a foundation to work from.

BBC show on the financial aspects of running your own business

Moneybox is always good, although pretty UK specific. Our American readers should grab a copy of the Friday Night Comedy podcast instead - go on, it's a gift from television owners in the UK :)

SQL Injection through HTTP Headers
http://packetstormsecurity.org/news/view/20824/SQL-Injection-Through-HTTP-Headers.html
During vulnerability assessment or penetration testing, identifying the input vectors of the target application is a primordial step. Sometimes, when dealing with Web application testing, verification routines related to SQL injection flaws discovery are restricted to the GET and POST variables as the unique inputs vectors ever. What about other HTTP header parameters? Aren’t they potential input vectors for SQL injection attacks? How can one test all these HTTP parameters and which vulnerability scanners to use in order to avoid leaving vulnerabilities undiscovered in parts of the application?

Got tired of all the spammy sudoku apps and built my own
I don't mind ads. I really don't. A banner ad here or there is totally fine by me.

But, most of the games on the app store are filled with ads to such an extent that it's ridiculous. These apps are literally unusable.

Back in February 2022, I wanted to make sudoku a daily habit and as most people would, I looked up "sudoku" on the App Store and downloaded the top result.

It was so terrible that it blew my mind. Every few moves I had to watch a video ad. Every few MOVES not every few games. This is on top of a banner ad that's constantly playing at the bottom. How are you supposed to play a game without chucking your phone out the window? Even if you sort the reviews of this app by most favorable the results are mostly negative, complaining about the ads, but it still has 4.5 stars .

So, as any self-respecting developer would, I built my own. It's clean, ad-free and minimalistic. You can find it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/not-evil-sudoku/id1614071642.
How to learn everything for Geeks: On Duality In Quantum Mechanics
http://howtolearneverything.com/blog/on-duality-in-quantum-mechanics/
E=MC^2 and about this Albert Einstein commented:

"It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind."

Duality is at the core of modern Physics. Back to the 1600s, Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton were debating about the Nature of Light: Huygens thought Light was consisting of Wave, Newton thought it was composed of Particles. Nobody at that time could ever think that both were right when Quantum Mechanics asserted the Wave-Particle Duality.

How Geeks can understand this ? Imagine a ...

Show HN: Ukrainian.fyi – Find the location of stress in ~2m Ukrainian words
https://www.ukrainian.fyi/
Tech stack:

List of word stresses via https://github.com/lang-uk/ukrainian-word-stress-dictionary.

I made a Python script to remove the special stress accent from each word. The script then produces a table of words with and without stresses. This script takes a second or so to run.

The database is hosted via Supabase. A Python script uploads the data to Supabase.

The website is hosted on Vercel. Search results are cached so become very quick for the next person.

A markup language that appoximates XML, but differs fundamentally in that strong data types are present. This was designed to be a quick way to serialise program data (types) into a string format. It is NOT designed as a replacement or superceder of XML. It is rather designed to be able to quickly, and expediently transform types into human-readable and program-readable form. Licensed under the MIT license.

Show HN: Snipthat.io – save interesting text snippets you find whilst browsing
https://snipthat.io/
I always wanted a place where I could save interesting snippets of text I find on the web, things like tweets, HN/reddit comments and little parts of blog posts and the like.

This tool is a browser extension, all you do is highlight text, right click and then you can send it to snipthat.

There are currently no logins, when you first get the browser extension you get a UUID which links to your snippets.

Site is very much in an alpha stage, I intend to add logins and you will be able to link your UUID to your login so you won't lose anything.

Any feedback / ideas appreciated!

The Avanti Law Group: Haste Clouds Long-Term Effort on Mortgage Fraud
http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/03/17/haste-clouds-long-term-effort-on-mortgage-fraud/
A report issued by the Justice Department’s inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, underscores the danger of extolling short-term results when it comes to prosecuting white-collar crimes. The report highlights how generating headlines seemed to take precedence over accurate figures in the government’s fight against mortgage fraud.

In October 2012, less than a month before the presidential election, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. called a news conference to trumpet the Justice Department’s success in combating foreclosure fraud through a program called the Distressed Homeowner Initiative. “The success of the Distressed Homeowner Initiative, and the developments we announce today, underscore our determination to pursue these and other financial fraud criminals around the country,” Mr. Holder said in a statement.
