Wow, that sounds like a carbon copy of the conversation we’ve been having my household.

Good luck to you guys

Education would be her preferred landing spot, it just doesn't seem viable for the work/life balance she's aiming for.

Customer success roles are definitely on the radar, just getting through the resume filter has been tough.

That's a good idea, thanks. We'll poke around and see what we can find.

Haha we've talked about this, but her interest couldn't be farther away from software. I have another family member doing something similar right now.

It's helpful to know that the stuff she's applying for has worked for others you knew! She's also looking for instructor-adjacet corporate stuff. Getting the interviews is definitely the hard part right now.

We're pretty evenly split on most housework, but I agree that picking up some extra to help out would be good.

It's pretty crazy. My wife went the grad school route on the way here, not sure there's any willpower left for more of it haha. Good luck to you guys

I've edited the end of the post, thanks for the feedback. You're right that I can kinda mushing things together.

She's been focusing on those types of roles, but I worry she's not getting through due to not having experience with specific tools they use (e.g. Adobe Captivate). It feels to me like if she can just get someone on the phone she'd be a very strong candidate, but that first step is hard without knowing people.

You should have a timer for how long the existing payment has been there.

This is definitely in the top 10 funniest things I've read on the internet. The fact that they reluctantly answered the question is incredible.

On mobile, but I was kinda shocked to see it when I lived in Pittsburgh. Google “Obama Academy Pittsburgh” for one example, but I was not at all alone in the area.

I think you're missing some significant details. The NYT did a really good episode on it last week: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/02/podcasts/the-daily/george...

TL;DR When a cop is fired there are several safety nets that can reinstate them. If I remember right, the union reinstates ~45% of fired officers. Neither the Chief nor the mayor have the LEGAL power to even fire bad actors in the police department. They literally cannot do anything about the problem within the law.

While you may not, Microsoft's hiring process (as well as others) clearly do.

Splitwise might work for you. I've used it for parties that multiple people contribute to. Everyone just adds what they've spent and at the end you click a button to "settle up".

It's not really a budgeting app, though.

This is probably an example of an "exception that proves the rule".

I've been doing the same for only 4 months and I can feel a lot of similar feelings beginning to set in. I have no idea how you managed it for so long!

As a solo founder, I doubt there are any other platforms that make economic sense to support, especially if it pulls effort away from the real money makers. Depending on the market, Linux wouldn't even make sense to support for most companies and it's only supported because Electron supports it out of the box.

Quotes like that can be interesting because there's a opposing one: "If everywhere you go smells like shit, you should check under your own shoe".

Edit: This isn't a commentary on Peloton specifically, but all of the S-1 posts we've been seeing on HN recently.

I wouldn't interpret this behavior as success per se. I think a significant motivating factor for going public now would be to provide liquidity for your existing investors (and yourself as the founder) before a recession hits.

If you've had significant capital tied up in a company and you're worried a recession is on the horizon, then this is a great time to push your company to go public. If you wait much longer then you risk either:

1. Going public in a recession and losing some of your potential gains.

2. Waiting an unknown amount of time for the economy to rebound and to pull your cash out then. This assumes the company weathered the recession well AND given you the same or better gains than investing in something else during that time.

TL;DR: Going public now is a much safer time for investors to divest than closer to or after the coming recession.

At work we have Office and I decided to give One Note a try. The note taking itself is awesome, but I kept running into an issue where copying and pasting would copy images of what I had highlighted instead of just the text of the notes... After Googling for 3 days I gave up and I'm back to pen and paper.

I've found that more often, it should be reworded as "unsafe fast, painfully maintain without the resources to ever fix later".

And many stores' customer-facing inventory systems are not reliable, or only updated every 24 hours. If there is only 1-2 of an item in stock, there's a decent chance it's actually sold out.

That would have only carried weight for those who know who Dan Elwell is. He carries no weight with me other than apparently being "acting director of the FAA". The president, even if he's disliked by many, carries much more weight for the average person.

On top of the yearly exemption, you have a lifetime exemption in the US of $11.18M.

As someone who works in healthcare software, I wouldn't interpret "Baby Boy" that way. Different hospitals process information in different ways and it is very common for newborns to all be entered under the same, generic name. Sometimes different departments within the same hospital have different systems, especially as they get more specialized (see: NICU). Maybe the birth name you chose got entered in one place and not the other.

Just thought I'd shed some light on the issue.

I don't own a business or anything, but I've seen these thrown around a bit. Why do you recommend against them?

Things that are missing:

1. A group of pinned emails in one place. I can star things, and they end up in "Primary". But if I then go to the "Promotions" or "Updates" folder and select all -> archive the starred items get picked up too.

2. Same complaint as above, but for "Important" emails. Except "Important" emails aren't moved into "Primary", they are ALL left in their regular boxes.

3. Does not have an endless scroll of emails. I need to click back and forth between pages to see them all. Select all only selects my current page of emails.

4. If I choose priority inbox I lose the ability to select all documents in a given inbox. The above are fixed with priority inbox, but then I can't select all. I switch back and forth once a week because I'm honestly not sure which features are more painful to live without.

If I could have a separate box for important/ starred and display ALL of my unarchived emails on the screen I'd be happy. Inbox taught me to make heavy use of archive and keeping an empty inbox except for what's essential... And then they provided no tools for continuing to use it this way.

Don't forget the SSD.

While a different situation, I had a pretty rough childhood and felt very similarly (feeling of disaster always looming). It took a long, long time to reprogram myself from constantly thinking "yeah alright, I got a promotion... But I know my new manager is going to fire me any minute". Or while I was still in school "sure, THIS test went well but I know something stupid will ruin my big project". All of the anxiety would also cause disasters! e.g. Over-studying and staying up too late leading to being late for tests in the morning. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy!

It took a long time to just let myself be successful without worrying that it would all fall out from under me. Let yourself be happy: you're financially stable and in a good marriage which is better than A LOT of people can say. Bad shit will always happen, but at least you're in a position to deal with it! Be prepared (savings, insurance, keeping your marriage happy) and roll with it rather than being terrified of it.

> In the one year I've been to SF, I've ran into butt-naked people numerous times (in contexts ranging from them just walking down the street to them running the Bay-to-Breakers marathon).

During B2B a couple years ago I actually asked an officer about that. Apparently it's 100% legal to be naked in SF, as long as you're not being too sexual... I don't know what the actual line is legally, but that's what I was told.
