@IndianTechGuide In Australia it is common to get salary every forthnight (for Americans it is every 14 days), not fixed dates. Since there are 26 fortnights a year over 12 months, it means on two of the months you will actually get paid thrice !!
@ALeighMP Why not for everyone except designated C level. I would guess a lot of WiseTech folks will be over this limit. In tech $183k is not that high.
@haydenbeamish These are meaningless. What is the cost of knee replacement and cancer medicines in Florida. Why is the FTB and Childcare benefits no included as they can be considered as cash benefits. Why is there no property tax included for NY.
@GabbbarSingh@Asymtode712 Australia also opens plenty of early voting centres 10 days before election date, even at consulates overseas. You can also ask for postal ballots 1 month in advance if you know you would be away.
@GHchangelog I was already signed up for pro trial 32d back and received many emails that I will be billed automatically at the end of the trial. You didn't honor the commitment, disappointed with this rug-pull. π
Disappointed with @github. I signed up for CoPilot Pro 30d trial on March 19th. I got many emails that I will be automatically billed for subscription. But I was not billed and saw the blog post that GitHub is removing Pro subscription. Please honor people who has already signed.
A small example of living in Australia. I put new down lights 4 yrs back. One stopped working. Took it out to the store, gave my number, no receipt. They checked in system and gave me instant replacement under 5 yrs warranty. Warranty rights are so easy here.
I'm in Australia this week, and we're releasing a new country report from the Anthropic Economic Index. Here's what we found about how Australians use Claude. π§΅
Tried @SarvamAI , the default text-to-speech on the dashboard in Bengali. The voice is not 100% native natural Bengali (Bangla). There is a Hindi accent which is noticeable. Good step but not realistic yet.
Recently I was in India, looking after my dad's health issues. The MRP for the cancer drug he was prescribed is Rs 50,000 for only 4 days supply of tablets. In Australia the same drug will cost $7.7 ( Rs 462). #India may have decent pvt hospitals but not affordable healthcare.
I read a lot of posts on issues with health insurance in India. I live in Australia. The main issue is HI in India requires underwriting, wheareas in Australia it doesn't. Rules are not customer friendly in India with best interests for its citizens. Why I wonder?
@theliverdoc Reassuring. My parents get medicines from CGHS as my dad worked in Central government service. Most medicines are PM Jan Aushadhi generics.
This is not Samosa. This is Bengali Singara, with small cubed (not smashed) potatoes, groundnut and only in winter cauliflower. Flavour of ginger and spicy.
This is why I love India. Absolutely delicious onion masala dosa at a local joint for breakfast. Also hing kachori. Yes, I can get these in Australia but the taste is just not the same.
