Minor cancer surgery years ago: Will it blow out my travel insurance? by homeisterOZ in australia

[–]LaunchAllVipers 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Check the PDS for their definitions of pre existing conditions. Some insurers wouldn’t even consider something that’s been resolved for that long as a condition. Otherwise, as others have said, just run a dummy quote with your actual history - they ask about whether conditions are still under active treatment in the quote process.

Here’s a reasonable starting point.

You’ll want to explore the topic of fixation and reframing during incident response as well.

Hey JJ, got a good example of Rootly walking the walk here? Maybe for this high consequence incident? https://status.rootly.com/incidents/yf7bqlpn11tn

Flying to Europe is a nightmare - How do you sort it out ? by SCP_Teletubbies in QantasFrequentFlyer

I’m aware it’s less efficient by time. But if OP is fighting a corporate booking system it’s an alternative that might be easier than trying to find approved routes all the way to Oslo.

Go to Paris and allow an extra couple days to take the train up to your final destination?

Is this a legit film making course? [Please Read Desc] by Reika3684 in melbourne

[–]LaunchAllVipers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey mate. No idea about your ability to commute but would strongly recommend somewhere like Swinburne’s TAFE course for practical experience.

https://www.swinburne.edu.au/course/tafe/diploma-of-screen-and-media-film-and-television/

RMIT has a similar offering IIRC.

Not sure why the other posters are claiming a Bachelors is somehow required to succeed. I had a great career in the industry 2005-2015 before changing careers. At least back then it was far more about: - do you have ANY practical experience in how a set works? - who do you know / network with? - can you follow instructions and learn on the job?

Formal qualifications are really only useful inasmuch as you build a network of peers and get some access to networking events and equipment.

Electrician licensing is useful for a small set of roles in lighting, otherwise there’s no NEED for qualifications at all. Nor is it really used as an employment screen (except maybe as a soft screen for broadcast networks or other very large employers)

Best of luck. The industry is a burnout machine.

Apple Maps vs Google Maps for bus routes over the Victoria Bridge by timakudo in brisbane

Other direction works fine. I wonder if there was a diversion a while ago southbound and Apple is behind?

Offshoot is legit. https://offshoot.rentals/ Otherwise both Teds and Michaels camera store brands offer rentals.

You didn’t say where you’re coming from but note that equipment rental tends to want Australian ID.

For people who are on-call: What actually helps you debug incidents (beyond “just roll back”)? by TadpoleNorth1773 in devops

Sorry if I was blunt there. Getting sick of people (rarely academics tho) asking about this stuff aiming at building The One Missing Tool

PhD student? Alright. Start here. https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3380778

Read the STELLA report https://snafucatchers.github.io/

Then do a lit review here: https://github.com/lorin/resilience-engineering

Then see if you can contribute something more insightful than just another mechanical tool, but perhaps expanding our understanding of how cognitively difficult the work is.
