16GB was not much even 5 years ago. That "fantastic, accessible software" eats a lot of memory.
No, she was at home. I worked from home as well.
Yes. The problem is you go back to zero sleep and anxiety. If you can solve sleep some other way, there are no withdrawal symptoms.
Problem with this is that it 1) works, 2) resistance is developed fast 3) you are back to square zero very soon. So it has to be taken in small doses with long intervals, when anxiety is at its worse.
It is not addictive as other drugs, most countries even sell it without prescription.
I am giving advice against starting family with someone, who can barely take care of themselves.
I had to deal with something similar, and I think I would add a few practical advices (outside of my other advice):
- if psychotherapy does now work in first 3 months, than problem is somewhere else
- check sugar levels, diabetes.. it is often misdiagnosed with psychiatric problems
- if she has paralyzing fear, you should talk to good psychiatrist and get medication. Be careful what motivations he/she has, he might try to sell you expensive doses for long term.
- we had good experience with psychiatrist outside US. Most consulting was over skype
- MRI, blood test... usual general tests. Anxiety can be result of infection, head concussion...
- Phenibut is quick & cheap solution to anxiety and sleep problems. No side effects, but you develop resistance fast, so it can be used only once a week. It takes edge-off before proper solution is found.
I was married to such person for 8 years. I physically aged 40 years, and I got gray hair.
My best advice is to get out NOW if you can. Maybe things are working out now, but you are barely floating. Add normal family life into picture: children, job loss, some injury, any sort of accident... and you will sink to bottom faster than a stone.
Go and Chess AI are SERIOUS and REAL problem. It is something which goes back for thousands years and will be remembered for another thousands years.
AIDS and other contemporary diseases will be soon forgotten after their extinction.
But I can say that. I spend several hundred hours arguing already. If you want some discussion, there are dedicated subreddits for that.
defering upgrades is not really an solution, unless 'several months' is like 5 years. I need control over my system.
REI has good ultralight backpacks for like $50 on sale.
I checked linked study:
> A human welder today earns around $25 per hour (including benefits), while the equivalent operating cost per hour for a robot is around $8 when installation, maintenance, and the operating costs of all hardware, software, and peripherals are amortized over a five-year depreciation period.
So human cost does not include total cost, just labour. Comparable cost would be around $100

it costs barely $8 an hour to use a robot for spot welding in the auto industry, compared to $25 for a worker—and the gap is only going to widen.This is just wrong. Author does not know much about welding or car manufacturing.
- Car welding is a best case for robots. Single task repeated many times exactly the same way. Try different case and you get $1M/hour.
- $25/hour human cost is too low. With pauses, errors, delays... $100/hour would be more reasonable.
- Germany is exactly in this situation, but does not have problem with unemployment.
Downvotes are nice, but is there any other solution? I want just security updates without new extra functionality.
MS is unpredictable and I do not trust them. One day it might decide to put ads on wallpaper or something.
Yet another reasons to blocks automated updates on Windows. Lets see how Edge becomes 'safer' in that situation.
That is funny, Excession and Consider Phlebas are only two books I could finish.
You have 8 x Stackable Chairs at 4sqm?
Google has horrible customer support. That is well known fact for almost a decade.
I workaround most of those issues by using VPN. Google always thinks I am sitting in datacenter in Germany.

all have to be at work and ready to go at exactly 9.06am.> everyone has to leave the office at 6pm sharp because staff aren't
allowed to work into the evening.
I worked for similar company before. It was toxic environment.
"native apps are dead" is pretty loaded statement. Something "pretty good" in "early stages" does not cover that.
Do whatever you want, but that does not make you a "good guy", just a vindictive weasel.
"poor refugees" is left-wing propaganda. Right-wind is anti-islam, terrorists...
Is "lynch mob" and "getting fired" covered under "social consequences" or under "defend your right to speak"?
But I found workers, we employ mostly Albanians, some Greeks and one Pakistani who is here for 10 years. It is manual labor in warehouse. But I would expect more interest from "poor refugees who barely escaped the war".
Anyway this discussion is pointless.
Public vs private is irrelevant. There are just bigots who can not tolerate different opinions.
Most companies have no right to any sort of "core beliefs". We are doing business, not church or homeless shelter.
There is also another aspect. In theory your personal life and work are separated. Your religion or political opinions should not matter at work.
But many people (sadly even on HN) think it is ok to fire people, based on their opinions.
Retirement age in Japan and Germany is around 65 years. Not everyone qualifies for social benefits (owns house, work history...). And regions like Bavaria are bloody expensive. So yes, some pensioners have to work even in Germany (but it was about Japan in reference to old people).
I would be happy to discus my "questionable ideas". I live in Athens and I actually tried to hire some of them for manual labor. Most of them had better shoes than me, were lazy as fuck, and all want to go to Germany.
To start a discussion, please post employment rates among migrants ;-)
Reducing cost is always good. Is not that mantra of free market and capitalism?
Real problem in US with health (and education...) is that cost has skyrocketed out of control. How much is hearth bypass ? $30k? Other countries do that for $4k with similar quality and better post-op care.
Public health care will just transfer more money from poor to corporations (like with education). You need to fix the leaks first, for example sponsor medical tourism to other countries, etc...
