What kind of problems were you getting addressed, though? It's mainly an issue when you're getting major surgery or treating something serious like cancer. Cuban doctors don't have access to the same suite of diagnostic tools US doctors have. They're probably fine if you need your blood pressure meds adjusted, but how likely is it you'll get an MRI if need one?

There's a hospital in Bangkok named Bumrungrad that is set up for medical tourism. From what I hear it provides world class care, including diagnostics. But it's almost as expensive as going to a hospital in the US once all your costs are accounted for.

How many times has this happened? Reading the article it seems like a handful of times over the last ten years in the entire European continent. No matter what you do you'll never get the accident rate to zero, and that seems pretty low.

I've never heard of a US employer that made someone clock out to don protective gear.

I disagree. As a manager you're better off accepting a little lower level of productivity from your best employees if it means you don't have embarrassing, to higher management but also to customers, lapses in productivity.

Is there? When someone gets hit by a bus you can't just move another team member into that job; you need to bring someone in from the outside. There has to be some level of fungibility for that to happen.

When the "economy" grows, that doesn't make my life better. My life gets better when I can command a higher salary for my labor, something I can't do when companies are allowed to flood the market with low cost foreign labor. This is so obvious I don't understand how supporters can be so smug and wrong at the same time.

You would never get the quality of care you expect if you went to a place like Cuba. That's a problem with medical tourism in general.

But that's just good management. You can't have your organization struggle because someone gets hit by a bus or quits suddenly.

"Share"? What does that mean? Is Fortune confused about the difference between employees and owners?

Even if phones are the root issue a ban during school hours can't be expected to do much if the kids spend all their hours outside of class on the phone.

That's what happened in Iridium's case. They created a new company, which bought all the assets for $25 million and the original entity defaulted on $1.5 billion in debt. The new company now does business with the original name.

It's the same thing that happened with the GM's 2009 bankruptcy. Technically the original company was liquidated, but you'd never know as a customer.

A family member made a big short bet on Iridium after he decided they couldn't survive and made a lot of money.

That's not dispositive, though, since it may be that people spend more on rent because they can, i.e. other things have become relatively less expensive.

I don't think it's much more complicated than that. If you own a "rent-stabilized" apartment there's going to be a very low limit to the amount of money you're willing to spend to keep it habitable. If it needs a lot of money to make it legal to rent out, you're just going to leave it vacant. You don't really have a choice.

"This game brought to you by the studio that fired all the developers that made the games you love."

One problem with live service games is management will be tempted to release it as a minimum viable product and add all the features that would make it competitive in later updates. That's all well and good if players are hooked enough to stay, but if they don't there will never be enough money to finish the game.

Bullets, rockets, and anti-tank rounds aren't that big of a threat to a vehicle going from the front lines to the rear area. The threats are mines, artillery, and drones.

But you're right. Airborne things behind opposing lines are harder to destroy. Still doable, though, with missiles and drones. I guess the hope here is it's fast enough to evade drones and also that the Russians aren't going to want to risk expensive aircraft and pilots to kill a guy that might die anyway or be too disabled to return to the fight.

The text I was responding to was "Helicopters are extremely vulnerable for drone interceptors."

Well, okay, but your point wasn't related to the discussion. What I was asked was for evidence helicopters were shot down by drones.

Not only is that not true, you might be surprised to discover another term for flying drone is "UAV".

But that's because of IAD, not drones.

The Russians target the ground vehicles with drones and artillery. From what I understand, in some areas they've been completely unable to evacuate casualties. Guys are dying from infections and wounds that could easily have been treated by people with the right expertise and equipment.

Yes, it's a UGV. It's also a drone.

Did you respond to the right comment?

Did the helicopter go down?

>Helicopters are extremely vulnerable for drone interceptors.

Do we have evidence even a single helicopter has been shot down by a drone?

They've been doing drone evacuations for years. What makes this different is the drone is flying.

I wonder if the trademark could actually be enforced.

I never get that behavior on Linux. Is there something odd about your setup?

>You open it once (some people, on boot) and then it's just sitting there.

That's what I do. I don't really care how long it takes to start (within reason), since when I boot my computer I rarely start playing a game right away. I check my mail, then look at the news, and after that decide what I want to play. As long as it doesn't take more than five minutes or so, I won't even notice.

How many of Steam's competitors offered third party games? I don't have any interest in using a launcher from a publisher that only sells/launches its own games. I'd have to remember who made what, and deal with different TOS.
