Ask HN: Recommended books or resources for genuine small businesses
My wife is a bonafide small business owner. She runs an interior design business as sole proprietor with a handful 1099 contractors on staff to help with errands and junior design work.

She is at a point where her business is thriving, but she is struggling under the weight of her growing business. She is a creative. She's great at that part. My expertise is in growing startups quickly, which is frankly useless to her. At best my ideas are overkill, and it's hard for me to shift my mindset since I don't know small businesses.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some tried-and-true small business frameworks? A good book or two would go a long way.

There is a drug approved in other countries than the US called Sativex. This drug is essentially just a 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC, which is prescribed for MS to help with spasticity and pain. There are some clinical trials using CBD for MS, but it seems CBD will probably help more when combined with other cannabinoids.

I have to agree, I've been enjoying insomnia more, especially with the dark theme. I'm also glad the developer makes enough income on it.

This is true, but more important than how we pay for things is WHAT we pay for. The U.S. could save even more by implementing more proactive treatments to reverse chronic issues that put a heavy burden on the medical system. Curing T2D alone could alleviate dozens of chronic medical problems that are infinitely expensive to treat the symptoms of at the late pathological stages.

I think we're all under-informed, to be honest. Or more precisely, I think we voters are generally better informed than is rationally appropriate, based on the amount of a difference we can individually make. And I think we're under-informed based on the amount of knowledge and consideration the questions deserve if we're to have a good chance of picking the best answer. I think this magnifies the influence of advertising, dishonesty, and the superficial.

I have been aware of Sentry for years, but I've never used it and haven't followed the company closely. Reading Armin's post, and the official Sentry announcement [0], this strikes me as pretty reasonable.

Sentry is about 11 years old. The industry has changed a lot in 11 years. There are people and companies around now that can build direct competitors more quickly than they could 11 years ago. The question raised in the Sentry post is completely valid: Was the license chosen 11 years ago the best one to base a company off of? A company relicensing its software after 11 years is a lot different than a company waving the open source flag for a year and then closing off access.

I appreciate the work people are doing to find a middle ground in the open source world. Purist approaches are important in many areas, but can't work for everyone and for every project. People who are suggesting that Sentry is no longer open source have a point, but there is also a world of difference to me between a company using a BSL, and a company whose entire codebase is a black box to the outside world.

One of the key questions I ask about companies built around open source, is "Are you being honest about your business structure?" I'm fine with middle-ground open source licenses as long as the terms are clear and transparent. I have no respect for hidden small-text clauses that put legal limits in place which contradicts what a company's PR copy says.

I say all of this from the perspective of a programmer who wants to be able to sustain my own work, as a user of open source who wants to have some libraries that are fully open, and as a customer who wants to pay people for reliable software-related services.

At least the homeowner has a choice to upload their video to ring.

Street-facing doorbell cameras on public sidewalks are in my opinion the worse problem. Pedestrians didn't opt-in. Operators of these cameras (both the buyer and the vendor) should be subject to the same legal obligations as other data collectors.
But they also don’t participate in the local economy and can just blindly vote against anything that impacts their bottom line (e.g. tax increases) rather than having to interact with and see the impact on people who actually live and work there whose lives are impacted by local and regional politics.

All correct non-realtime uses uses of condition variables should work fine with notify called outside of the critical section.

The only case it matters is when using strict realtime scheduling (SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR) and it is important that higher priority threads are woken up before lower priority ones.
How do they tell if a home is vacant?

Mail and computer-assisted telephone and personal-visit interviews. All group quarters responses are obtained by personal visit interview.

Okay, so if you don't answer spam calls, or you aren't home when some random person knocks on your door, your house might be considered to be vacant. This data seems pretty worthless.
They often pay very little property tax, thanks to California prop 13. Long-time property owners are incentivized to just ride the real estate boom with a vacant building that costs them nothing. The city gets almost no tax revenue, and the neighborhood is crippled in its development.

As a bonus those property owners are politically active and fight zoning reform and development/transit projects to protect aforementioned real estate boom.
There are houses throughout the Bay Area sitting empty, just being used as a relatively safe store of value. That goal is already achieved without having to deal with the overhead of managing the property and tenants.

> The rise of foreign money parking money in real estate has screwed things up on a global level.

If the property tax is paid and the maintenance is kept up what is the problem created solely by the fact some homes are empty? The only reason these properties have such high values is because there is a demand that is not being supplied. Supplying more housing makes this a non-issue.

> San Francisco has felt the brunt of this due to their insanely restrictive development laws.

This is the real issue. Governments restrict housing supply for whatever misguided reasons and prices go up, those prices make it a good place to park cash. Government should stop picking winners and losers.

The surface of a cloth is still much less smooth than a polished car, cd, etc, so is it possible that the specular reflection happens, but at a contrast that is too low for our eyes to detect, or in enough disjoint sections that we can't perceive it as a single effect?

There are plenty of phenomena that fall out of the range of our unaided perception.

We would, however, probably observe the specular reflection of instead of water we used a thicker transparent liquid, like clear glue.

Completely normal unfortunately and I get the same issue with my extension that has lots of users and a good rating [1].

Check out the Chrome extensions newsgroup and you'll find that instead of technical issues being discuss it's message after message of "Why is it taking weeks for my extension to be approved?" even when all that changed was the description.

I'd be up for joining/starting a petition at this stage - it's making extension development really unpleasant. There's no good reason why changing the description or changing a single line of code should take weeks of review time.

If you have a critical bug in a paid Chrome extension, what are you supposed to do? Do the big Chrome extensions like Grammarly and LastPass get special treatment? If LastPass has a security vulnerability, will Google really make them wait weeks to update their extension?

It depends on if the predicate can (also) be changed without the lock being held, as otherwise the release/acquire ordering semantics are not guaranteed. So long as items are only every enqueued with the lock held, it should be ok.
A few starter ideas:

(1) Repealing prop-13 is probably a non-starter but we could probably get away with repealing it for non-owner-occupied homes. Prop-13 was meant to prevent people from being driven from their homes by property tax increases, not to protect speculators from being taxed.

(2) Levy a substantial additional property tax on residential properties that are not currently occupied by either the owner or a renter (for more than e.g. 6 months). These should at the very least be on the rental market.

(3) Subject all real estate purchases and investments to KYC/AML and other rules. AFAIK one of the things driving this loony real estate speculation is that RE has become a preferred vehicle for money laundering after KYC/AML made other financial investments less attractive for that.

(4) Tax foreign (non-US-citizen) purchases of residential real estate. Yes they'd set up shells and recruit locals to be proxy buyers, but at least this would give them more hoops to jump through and would probably reduce the extent of the problem.
The big rip would imply that eventually, all points in space are accelerating away from one another faster than the speed of light, which would tear apart atoms, subatomic particles, and everything down to the smallest divisible units of matter and energy. The accelerating expansion doesn't imply this at all, and would instead leave big dense things like galaxies intact to burn out and fade away.

Acceleration comes from the cosmological constant - more volume means more dark energy, which means more velocity (acceleration). Only if the cosmological constant isn't constant would we expect a big rip.

Now, we're questioning the acceleration part also apparently.
Also lots of deflection by blaming tech workers for cost increases.

That's a hell of an understatement right there. It still doesn't have any capability for accelerated video, does it?

> I'd call [slavery] a pretty important backbone, even if it was localized to mainly the south.

The localization of the issue to the South is incredibly important to consider, though. They actually seceded and became a different country for around four years because they felt slavery was that important to their economy. And, as another poster mentioned, the South (primarily agrarian) was much poorer than the North (manufacturing and agrarian) and had staggering levels of inequality compared to the North.

You say it's a "dark legacy," but what do you want to do about it? Crap all over the country for something which was last actively practiced 150 years ago? My ancestors were still poor farmers in Hungary at that point; they didn't have anything to do with slavery in the US. Slavery is awful and unjust, but don't expect me to hate others today for the injustices of the past.

> My point is that the last lynching was in 1981. That's utterly ridiculous. It only trailed off in the 1950's.

Racism is learned and taught. During the Reconstruction, the South reinvented their economy and culture, since slavery was dead and the white Southerners had to live near the newly-freed black Southerners. Unfortunately, that reinvention of culture included the significant perpetuation of racism.

It takes a long time to erase all that. Unless they're willing to sit and reason, there's nothing you can do. We can, however, raise our kids right so, with time, the racists will die off.

> Only on screen mind you, I don't expect many of them would want that imagery taught in churches!

Have you ever been to a majority-white Christian church in America? What about a majority-black Christian church in America? They all sing, pray, and listen. There's no discussion of Jesus' skin color, because that's not why they go to church. They go because they want salvation.

Ok, it's clear you're hateful toward Christians. But are you really hateful toward all of them?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelical_Lutheran_Church_in...

Yes, it's possible for a liberal Lutheran to exist. Do you still hate them? Would they hate you?

You lump white Christians together as some massive homogeneous blob, but you just can't do that because it's not fair. Also, do you think all sermons are just political rants? I can tell you they absolutely aren't. In fact, many people will go to church to get away from politics.

> The MTA is a government org

Surprised none of the other comments have pointed out that this is not true. The MTA is a public benefit corporation, which is a concept particular to New York State.

The simplest way to describe a NY public benefit corporation is that it's a private corporation, but the board of directors for the corporation is appointed by the governor.

Court rulings have confirmed that employees of PBCs in NY are not state employees; they are employees of the corporation.
