Tell HN: Slack to offer disabling of WSIWYG editor “within a couple weeks”
Just got a reply from their customer support that they're planning to offer the option to go back to basic formatting "within a couple weeks" for the desktop app. I can only assume that Slack's developers use something other than Slack to share code snippets because this particular issue annoys me almost 20x a day right now.

Ask HN: labeling: positions and applicants, or jobs and candidates?
Not sure if this is appropriate for HN (it's more of an information architecture labeling user-research question), but here goes.

I'm doing an app that helps you to hire people. Should I call jobs "positions"? Or just jobs? Or something else. Should I call candidates "applicants"? Or candidates? Or something else?

ps: it helps if you mention whether you hire people or not.

http://diythemes.com/thesis/improve-website-pagespeed/

60mo joins FreeAgent
http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=737af80795c8036af8d34cf92&id=49f1e24104&e=a9a5203359
60mo has been acquired by FreeAgent, the UK's biggest and best accounting tool! Important information about your 60mo account. Here's the deets.
Bloody ‘ell, we've joined
the FreeAgent team!

We're extremely excited to announce that 60mo has been acquired by FreeAgent, the UK market-leader in online accounting software. 60mo was built to make the lives of small business owners easier and we’re happy to be joining a team that shares that passion. Also, they have a castle!

What does this mean for the 60mo team?
We’ve joined FreeAgent as the charter members of their US team and will be working to help bring the FreeAgent platform to the tens of millions of US small business owners losing sleep over their finances. There is a ton to be done, and we are chomping at the bit to get started.

What does this mean for the 60mo product?
As our focus will be on the FreeAgent platform, we’ll be sunsetting the 60mo product in the next few months. 60mo users will be able to get an export of their data until the product is shut down, but data integrations such as Yodlee and QuickBooks will no longer be supported.

How can I export my data?
Contact us at support[at]60mo.com with your account id from the admin area and we’ll provide a full csv file export including all of your major data items.

What happens if I don’t export my data?
No matter what, we care first and foremost about the privacy and security of your data. After the shutoff date, all customer details and data will be deleted from all instances of the 60mo databases and will be unrecoverable.

Who is FreeAgent?
We might be biased, but we think that FreeAgent is one of the best products serving freelancers and small businesses today (and they don’t even wear kilts to work). Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

--

A note from the founders:
As entrepreneurs building a product to help other entrepreneurs, we’d like to say “Thank you!” to our customers, supporters, friends, and families for their encouragement and patience. The last few years have been an incredible experience, and we feel privileged to have worked with you.

Volume discounts - These guys are doing it wrong
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/09_50/c4159btw636479.htm?chan=magazine+channel_the+business+week
It's just volume discounts wich all retails do in
one form or another.
These web sites are signing up members which limits what retails will do business with them. The better way is to make a market place where the retailer and it's item the main focus, Not much programming for feasibility, couple of screens, backend interface to hold addresses, basic item tracking logic, and a ASCII file dump to send to retailer. The catch would be a hook into the likes of Facebook in app mode to drum
up the volume (I would want 3 volume/price levels - not just one).

Entrepreneurs should stop being bullish

They don't really say it out loud, but the extracted idea from what they said was : being an entrepreneur is better than being an employee.

Ask HN: Software almost done... What next?
I came up with a pretty good idea for a "startup" -- really just a SaaS application to generate some supplementary income -- and started building non-stop. I'm a few weeks from being ready to launch -- planning to let my beta test businesses get going free while offering signup for a discounted rate -- but I don't know what steps I need to take to launch properly. What are some necessary things I need to do and what tips/precautions do you have for me?

Do I need a lawyer? Do I need to file for LLC status and open a new bank account? I am using recurly for payments, but I know I need a payment gateway -- any tips for the cheapest/easiest way to go about this? I was also planning on hosting on heroku for now.

These are just a few general questions I have for now, so feel free to offer any advice. Thanks!

Can online surfing be further simplified?
http://ketankhairnar.blogspot.com/2008/02/idea.html
I was discussing some idea with one of my friends. This is shootout from that one and complementary to his idea. Lets say you have 8-10 regular URLS to visit also you waste lot of time on them. RSS readers have solved this problem to some extent i.e. it at least saves your time where you have to manually go and check something interesting to read. Ans there are tools which now help you to safeguard your habits :) (8aWeek and Rescuetime; both are YC funded).

Now come back to main idea. RSS has solved problem partially where you just need to read news to which you are subscribed. Or RSS is completely successful in that thing because that was the aim. I wish (I wish I make one )there should be some application within the browser which will allow me to access all my favorite urls within one login. Again it allow me to force-login/auto-login whichever I want for particular website. It should have inbuilt RSS reader so that I need not open other Browser window to see goodies. Further add some notifications so that I can work on the things and wander there only when matters. It should keep working asynchronously(RSS)/sync(Other applications) whenever I want. Yes there is valid point that you can store all favorite urls in bookmark and open them in tabs in one go (Firefox) and let firefox remember your all passwords. I agree to that but there is something more can be done which will add value to online surfing experience from the proposed sandbox. I guess there are such tools/applications but may be I don't know so share your views.

Ask HN: Learning the math behind cryptography
I've taken an interest in cryptography and have been reading quite a lot on the subject lately. However, my understanding of the mathematics involved needs a little bit of work. I've always excelled in the required math for school up through advanced calculus, but a lot of this is completely foreign to me. Can anyone suggest a good source for teaching one's self the math behind cryptography theory? I've looked up unfamiliar terms and made sense of everything I've read, but I still don't feel comfortable with the field in general. Specifically, Galois fields, relative primality, discrete logarithms, quadratic residues, generators, etc...

If anyone knows of good places to learn about these kinds of topics, they'll be greatly appreciated. I generally find purely academic math theory hard to read as it is, even when I understand all the underlying principles.

Show HN: I built a music app for iOS to learn how to build iOS apps
http://ffwdapp.com/
Some history: I was hired to work as a probational employee for an upcoming iPad app that was starting out. Since I hadn't written a single line of native iOS production code at that time, I had to scramble. I read Big Nerd Ranch's iOS Programming book front to back over a two week period on the bus and realized I could probably learn a lot better by building an app that I wanted to use.

I started tinkering last October, on and off the bus, never expecting to get very far and ended up polishing it and getting it fully ready last month. The rest of the time was spent building the website and ironing out other visual bugs.

Take a look if you'd like. There's a video showing off how it works on the website so you don't need to buy it :)
