Show HN: Written Numbers – A website/library to convert massive numbers to words
https://numbers.kyza.net/
The naming system comes from Conway (yes, the Game of Life one) and Guy's The Book of Numbers, and it's infinitely extended past 999 using "illi".

ones tens hundreds
1 un (n)deci (nx)centi
2 duo (ms)viginti (n)ducenti
3 tre( s) (ns)trigint(ai) (ns)trecenti
4 quattuor (ns)quadragint(ai) (ns)quadringenti

7 septe( n) (n)septuagint(ai) (n)septingenti
8 octo (mx)octogint(ai) (mx)octingenti
9 nove( n) nonagint(ai) nongenti

The (letters) at the end of the parts in the ones column get added depending on the (letters) at the beginning of the column it combines with.

undecillion

tredecillion
treSvigintillion
treStrecentillion

septeNquingentillion
septenongentillion

novenonagintillion

The (letters) at the ends of the tens column parts are different.

If there is a hundreds part afterwards an "a" will be used, if there isn't then an "i" will be used. "deci" and "viginti" are the exceptions to this and always use "i".

Why "Helvetica Neue"?
http://imgur.com/0dh2g
I'm noticing increasing use of Helvetica Neue as the preferred choice of web font. I find it quite difficult to read and often have to read things twice to read it correctly. See attached image for how it displays in Chrome - i looks like l and c looks like o.

Why is it popular? I find lots of good blogs written in bad fonts and don't want to keep reading, because I don't have time to read things twice.

Who Are the Major New gTLD Applicants and…(Part Three: Minds + Machines)
http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140218_who_are_the_major_new_gtld_applicants_part_three_minds_machines/
Minds + Machines was the first "new gTLD portfolio applicant" I spotted early in 2008, when .PARIS started being mentioned. Then came a few other projects like .HORSE and later .VODKA. Being French, my vision of good new gTLD suffixes may be slightly different to those native English speakers.

Simple architecture for using jQuery

But everyone that had a project which needed to coding more than a slider in jQuery, have found out that how it could be complex without any structure, especially when client-side code had to merge with the server-side code.

Ronald Reagan - Appreciated the Power of Ideas
http://newbooksinhistory.com/?p=649
I found this 60 minute mp3 interview on the "New Books in History" website giving a very different view of Ronald Reagan than you usually hear. The author, James Mann, makes a good case that Reagan appreciated the power of ideas and so thought the Cold War could be won. He also argued that Reagan was motivated by his hate for nuclear weapons.
This site is a good arguement for the importance of history. - Greg
Ask HN: Would YouTube stop showing me the Cred app ad if I install the app?

Banned Books Week 9/27 - 10/4
http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/bannedbooksweek/bannedbooksweek.cfm
Though I've been signed up for Hacker News for a while, this is my first posting. Just thought this would be interesting to some of you who enjoy books like I do.

Banned Books is sort of misleading; it's not really about banned books but more about the celebration of expressing one's opinion, even if that opinion may be considered unorthodox or unpopular. Sounds just like the type of thing for entrepreneurs!

The New Rules Of Technology VC
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_new_rules_of_technology_vc.php
Just a few years ago, large venture firms were incubating companies for months. During the incubation period, the founders wrote 70+ page business plans, which described the market opportunity, the execution plan, along with the five year financial projections. The plan was a proof, a risk management tool, used to justify that the idea has legs and will work.

But this isn't true anymore.

and also the talk about how the medium (vinyl) has dynamics requirements that force the signal to be compressed before it's put on record and that emulating that might give the same effect to digital music http://music.columbia.edu/pipermail/music-dsp/2010-November/069388.html

HTML5, depending on who you listen to, may be either a disruptive new technology that has the potential to bring entire companies to their knees, or a smooth transition from current HTML 4.0 that promises to make life much easier for developers. Both are at least partially true, and in this continuing series, I hope to help you make sense out of HTML5: both business sense and nuts-and-bolts coding-level sense.

So you actually make another profit on every sale you make equivalent to an realized customer.

Here are a few strategies like increase sales up to the minute your business by moving your customers amounting to buy from you more often
