   I went to school in the US from 95-97 and while I was there I volunteered at an “AIDS hospice”. And the premise seemed to be that it was a place where folks went to die.

   Now remember I was a kid and Norwegian and clueless.

   Years later someone said that I was lying when I told them this. Because why would someone be dying of AIDS in 96? There had been drugs for years by then.

   So as an adult I realized that the people I had been caring for when I was a teenager were probably people who were dying of a treatable disease because they didn’t have healthcare.

   One thing that's wild to me is that we've gotten fairly solid at building distributed systems that are resilient, workable, and fairly decently designed... As soon as they hit a certain amount of scale, and only then.

   So much shit out there just gets slapped together with every single cloud scale mega-cluster service and tool like its a limited edition box of candies that's going out of stock

   Hearing of the deaths in hospital corridors due to ramping, Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff responded that there were "pressures right across health systems, in every state and territory" which were "not unique to Tasmania".

   Seems everyone's underfunding hospitals. It must be OK then.

   So, full steam ahead for a one trillion dollar footie stadium.
