I'm moving and have a lot of stuff to donate, but no time to go and drop off. Anyone know of any charitable organizations that come to your residence and pick up donations?

I’ve had both Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity come before.

I've gotten a lot of flyers and mail from Lupus Foundation, United War Veterans Council and Vietnam Veterans of America who can do scheduled pickups. Check their websites. I did it once before with one of them.

AmVets maybe another one.

Dress for Success takes donations of office clothes for women who can’t afford the clothes they need to get a job.

Probably no charities are picking up right now. Maybe the free section of Craigslist is the best way to get someone to pick up.

Out of the Closet does large donation pickups in nyc not sure if they’re national

Just make sure they (whoever it is) can schedule time for you - I have tried to do this in the past and sometimes they get booked up well into the future (which could be the case particularly now).

Salvation Army!

Has anyone ever had to deal with a situation where the main product of the company has been built in a way that makes it very tough to scale, adapt to new use cases and add new features? A number of employees across different teams are looking to make the case that we should consider remaking a second, leaner version of it that can allow us to be more flexible and competitive with the growing number of cheaper alts. Also keen to hear about "known companies" that had to make this kind of move.

If you were still in undergrad would you prefer 1. Go back to campus and have an in person/hybrid learning experience with restrictions on social life
2. Have your school go fully remote for the entire fall semester
3. Defer for a year and resume your education fall 2021 when things will hopefully be “normal”
I think I’d choose 3 but idk. Tough call, and I feel bad for current college students
