Check if the requirement is "only in the uae" or has to have the primary copy in the UAE

Only recently in aus did an adult diagnosis get support from the government PBS scheme. And even then it's because they're letting retroactive childhood diagnoses be considered for the subsidised medication options.

The intraorg combat that seems to be the default at microsoft is really going to be one of their persistent problems.

Oh, you were talking about the product not the business unit.

> In Australia, this is mostly because

it's an attempt to starve funding from the public system. (Howard was responsible for destroying the first universal healthcare system in australia before the later second attempt)

The private hospitals specialise in elective uncomplicated day ops because the returns from the medicare payment are better than complicated cases that get the same fixed payment. It's also why they transfer anything slightly complicated into public hospitals.

Not even that in the end.

shame it took years to get bookmarks in.

Mercurials lack of not permanent branches early on with the bizarre "we have a plugin for that" way of doing it showing up too late to change the decision

not to mention the early "just clone it into a new dir" answer before lightweight branching ...

> Edit: also fuck things like Lambda. It's literally the most horrible experience that the universe can muster. Moved most of our lambdas to simple boring http services on top of Go and just leave 20 instances running. Just not having to deal with CloudWatch saved us more money than Lambda could have.

imagine if instead of being a tied in to aws special interfaces lambda had shown up as closer to cloud run!

Though hopefully not the knative style that azure first went with and the LOOOOONG start times.

Have you seen the demo of what you can get with some wires and low friction traction options :P

medical industry must be going for some long term achievement in how much they disbelieve, mistreat, and degrade women going to them.

I wonder how many units of their training courses are spent on this and how much is spent on the cultural reinforcement of it.

the cloud used because execs have already got a microsoft contract. (not to mention the fun licensing problem)

and many of those azure regions are a single DC or single cage in a single dc that you can walk past to find the bigger netflix pop.

> Azure support was completely worthless.

It's quite incredible that a support bill in the >10k per month range from azure makes the public google (not even GCP with a support contract) support look not crap

got to love how they're trying to hide the links.

get a travel agent?

Probably more reliable and corp ones exist.

nope.

It won't even help you understand that the 20 second task you've been putting off for 6 months causing anxiety will only take 20 seconds (nor will we learn from this)

> accessibility is like implementing braille and things for deaf and colourblind etc.

or

- larger fonts

- Better contrast controls,

- Non abstract art iconography,

- larger buttons and keyboard navigation,

- understanding that there are many types of colourblindness with different requriements,

- the ability to set lightmode on your app and website due to the issues reading text for anyone with astigmatisms,

- reducing the amount of animation or motion blur

The range of what accessibility is isn't small and some of it is going to be required for the vast majority of products. Also accessibility requirements change over time. eyes and hearing degrade. the desire to waste energy trying to find some stylish button that has no border and almost no contrast to indicate where it is goes away

Given the number of chrome-only sites that block firefox and not safari i think there are other issues in front end land

Are you describing the "just build nukes" party here?

Cause we've been waiting a while for this nuke solution to actually ship but every example is far more expensive all while the nuke lovers block solar and wind for the same reasons.

Those US companies that the US government bought part of and funded their expansions with no controls over the cartel...

given the max bandwidth of a starlink sat is in the 100Gb on a good day range why would you want to limit a DC to less bandwidth than a single cheap fibre?

Also in LEO you're going to have reentry become more of an issue (starlink burning up in the atmosphere isn't some free garbage removal it will have a measurable impact on the chemical make up (assuming it even burns up and doesn't just squash more farm buildings), Power supply more of an issue and still have huge problems with heat and radiation.

> SpaceX already has Starlink. They might need pretty high bandwidth

you mean the network that has less capacity than a fibre pair per coverage area?

5 to 7 months given they want 100kw Per ton and magical mystery sauce shielding is going to do shit all.

> They are also much better at hiding debt

Through bonds? or SVPs to fund the building of datacentres?

> You just need to trust that the people handling your ballot won't do that.

Given the number of people involved in watching ballots the entire time it is happening this would require a lot of compromised people and a lot of compromised scrutineers.

Unlike the US the elections aren't run by some local arsehat with local rules. they have consistent rules over the entire state or country (depending on election in question)

Scrutineers are also not members of the public. They are declared and appointed by candidates and parties for polling oversight and have complete access to the counting and polling area. They're not allowed to touch ballots but they can challenge and bring them up to all the scrutineers in the location (and EC staff) and finally they can take it to the court afterwards

Election officials are also not local council\elected people they're people working for the AEC\State Electoral commission. which is as mentioned above a non partisan organisation (which is highly different from bipartisan framing)

You also have a large number of counting staff. who do the sorting and then counting with machine assistance (how many sheets are here in this stack do they match the tally the 2 people already made on that pile)

Though the senate elections have a more complex voting software stack due to STV fun.
