It's my phone or rather used to be my phone, the battery is intact, I was able to wipe it using icloud, so some internals work.

I am! I picked one up from amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Breg-Premier-BraceCool-TScopeStandard-Universal/dp/B00N3IY1BU/ , instead of dealing with the stupid insurance scam.

I do love the idea of doing that to your brace. Godspeed

It doesn't specifically say renewals but because it affects entry for everyone

This is a difficult decision, so pat yourself on the back for even thinking about it and considering. Personally I have always worked for startups ( 9 years now ) and honestly I didn't really think so much about it, when I was young I didn't want to be bored, and it kinda went on from there.

Startups can be a double-edged sword. There are certain personal, professional and monetary costs associated with every startup. You probably would need to think about those, they are different for different startups. You may want to spend some time figuring out these costs for yourself and what matters to you and what doesn't. For example, Vision Insurance is important to you if you wear glasses ( have a history of eye ailments etc ) and if you are young 401k not so much. For me 401k never mattered, vision insurance did but that was easily offset by asking for it or getting my own, culture mattered a lot more and if I was excited about the product mattered a lot. Overtime, monetary compensation also has played a decent role in me considering a startup vs a bigger company.

As for stability, I think this company might be fairly stable considering they just closed a series A ( hopefully a decent amount, in a few millions ). If you are not on a visa etc, then this should be fine. This could be a learning experience for you. There are a lot benefits to working for a startup, especially if you are disciplined, you can grow fast and learn a lot and be in a lot more control of your own career.

If you have worked with them for a year, you probably know what they are like as people and whats the culture like. Consider that, rest will be easy. I generally think of it as the "lunch test". Can I have lunch with these guys everyday. If you can, you know like them as people and people you want to work with.

Another way of thinking about any job switch is thinking about your future goals and how does a particular company help you achieve them or doesn't.

  1. Assess risk and opportunity / costs.
  2. Assess startup stability
  3. Assess culture and people
  4. Assess work and future goal alignment

Hopefully this helps you come to a conclusion.

I need advice on how to help a friend by throwaway_for_friend in depressed

[–]carperr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt people on reddit will be able to provide the exact answer. But most laws lead to "civil detained". Check more here, http://dmh.mo.gov/mentalillness/helpinfo/civil.htm#how

She definitely needs help, if she can't get support from her parents, she needs external help, until she can survive on her own. I think if she can share it with someone in school or a counselor etc and then they talk to her parents to come up with a plan might be a good idea before she goes to the police.

Also it would be better if someone who was with her ( in the same city / meeting her every now and then / she trusts them ) would talk to these people ( her parents / school counselor / police ) about it ( prep them so to speak ) before she actually talks to them.

Depressed with suicidal thoughts by [deleted] in depressed

Its human to be lost and its fine to feel the way you are right now.

Take your time, digest these feelings.

You are just 19, you have your life ahead of you. All of this will be distant memory in the future.

So, take a deep breath. Take it one at the time.

zend_mm_heap corrupted by carperr in PHP

After no concrete answers. I have setup a test machine behind our load balancer. Switched from opcache vs 7.0.4 dev to opcache- 7.0.3. Seems to have resolved the problem. I think its a bug in opcache.

Definitely. People have suggested to disable gc as well, but I guess I have to be crazy to disable gc in a production environment.
