Draftable | Head of Sales | Melbourne, Australia (hybrid/remote okay within Australia) | Full-time

Draftable makes document comparison software, mainly for lawyers. We're looking for an experienced commercial leader to drive our global sales strategy and growth from Australia. It's a high-impact role, reporting directly to the CEO, with significant influence over business strategy.

Our dev and product teams are killing it, we've just brought on fantastic marketing and People leaders, and now we're looking to complete the exec team with a sales leader who can build on our strong momentum (700+ firms signed since launching our legal product in mid-2023).

More info and application details here: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4181270899/

The intensity of my sleep apnea varies from night to night, and you might be similar?

Based on oxygen levels, mine also varies from subclinial to "medium" apnea. I was deemed not to have sleep apnea based on the take-home test or the in-hospital test... but I wore my oxygen-logging ring during the in-hospital test to check it was calibrated to the hospital's equipment (it was), and the specialist then diagnosed me based on my measurements of oxygen levels on other nights.

Strong recommendation for both Obsidian and Dynalist, the other product of this crazy productive duo. I really appreciate their understanding that users want to be able customize their note-taking/life-organizing system.

Is there a plugin or something that enables list folding in a markdown file? I'm wondering whether it's time to migrate the Dynalist parts of my system to Obsidian and that's the big thing I'd miss.

You can't draw this conclusion from the linked study due to how the sample was constructed.

"In this retrospective, multicentre cohort study, we included all adult inpatients (≥18 years old) with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 from Jinyintan Hospital and Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital (Wuhan, China) who had been discharged or had died by Jan 31, 2020."

There might be a bunch of patients who needed ventilation and went on to survive, but had not been discharged before the cut-off date.
