This isn't as bad as it sounds. Not sure what the rules in TX are, but in CA child care is a business, meaning you have to run it like one. Homeschooling one own's children isn't going to meet this definition, so only bonafid

If there are any laws we need to pass is that credit card fees should be disclosed on all receipts and optional. Cash buyers should not get penalized for not using a credit card.

For me it's definitely about the money. It's not that I can't afford children, it's that I can't afford them AND also do things like stop working while giving my family the lifestyle I want. Ultimately, it boils dow

Legit question, how many of you would take a 20% paycut for a 4 day work week?

Yep, adoption is another major issue. I'm shocked at the number of people who continue wasting hours because they don't don't want to learn the newer faster way.

To the IRSs credit, I once got a letter saying there was a mistake in my tax form and I overpaid. They sent me a check.

If the business is doing very well, why not just raise prices? Most restaurants simply don't scale or lose alot when they do. They are great because it's the team and leadership that work there that makes it awesome. Not every sin

No offense, but what do you do that is "distinguished"? I thought that title was only for like the top .01% of engineers who have done insane stuff no other mortal can pull off.

Wirecutter used to be good, but then it got bought by NYT. I'm surprised at how difficult it is to find legit reviewers in general. I don't trust these larger companies to give us non-biased reviews.

It would be interesting to see what happens when all the extroverts self select for in office work and introverts self select for wfh.

I sympathize. You're the person who does this because they love it and sees room for improvement everywhere. Unfortunately, most people are not like that. I know because I've been in a few teams and it's rare to find the pers

Or you know, just eat half and take the other half home and eat it later. Of course, re-heating doesn't work as well with some dishes. I've found there are some places that would be too expensive for me and the only reason I eat t

My perfect laptop is the M1. The thing I love the most is the screen. I've installed Lunar and can use XDR mode to take the screen to peak brightness. It really makes a big difference watching content or working in a brightly lit area.

Chatbots can be awful. I called one yesterday because I needed to set up a new account. Twice I tried different phrases for new accounts and each time it sent me down a path where it would invariably ask me for an existing account number.

I'd like to agree with you, but the issue then becomes this smaller company is competing with a much larger company, which then has a larger marketing budget. The smaller company's offering becomes just another set of features the

"Outdated material". This is main reason I go with Udemy courses on subjects I'm really serious about learning. Many, if not all, of the best teachers on there update their courses with new material as needed. I don't se

In the States that seems to be the case. I surmise that's due to our strong sense of individualism in our culture. Hard to see whether prosperity causes individualism or the other way around.

Lol, it's not deceptive at all. I routinely sign up for the free trials and then cancel a couple of days before the trial ends.

Exactly, working faster just gets you more work, and if you're lucky maybe the bosses will throw in an extra 2-3% on top of your 2% raise at the end of the year. If you're really lucky, you might promoted. Now you're working

"Also there's something really offputting about the 'get it done' phrase/mentality for public companies." This really resonates with me. I work at a larger company and sometimes get pressure to finish work fast

Based on your name, it seems those are great examples of selection bias. If you were a divorce lawyer that primarily worked with men, I'm sure you'd have more examples of the other side.

I'd argue domain knowledge becomes less and less important as the size of the organization grows. Eventually, it gets to the point where what you are working on is just a tiny piece of the overall work, it just doesn't matter. Als
