  • Actual health insurance is literally illegal in the USA. It’s all some sort of partially pre-paid health subscription crap that you get punished for not buying. Every time the government steps in the help they make it worse, even as far back as WW2 with “salary caps” leading to extra non-monetary incentives, like medical insurance, company car, etc. Then the government gives business tax breaks to provide insurance making it more expensive for an individual to buy so now your health is tied to your work. Then they help by… etc. etc. etc.






  • The first thing I do is try to stop and identify what I’m angry about or frustrated with.

    Then I check to see if it’s something I can control, and if it’s not then I just accept it. I might not like it, but I accept that it’s the way things are.

    For example I (used to) get angry driving. What I was angry with were bad drivers.

    Is it reasonable to expect to drive and not run into bad drivers? No, they’re out there and there’s nothing you can do a bout it.

    What I can do about it is change my reaction. Instead of raging at bad drivers I simply shake my head and continue about my day.

    Think of it like you’re holding a hulu-hoop. Inside that hulu-hoop are things you can change. Outside the hula-hoop are things you can’t change. Getting mad at things you can’t change isn’t helpful, so concentrate on the things you can control, including your reaction.


  • Yeah, for enterprise you aren’t going to roll it out yourself. They’d use a partner company to help you set it up and configure it for their needs to ensure that it can continue to scale and provide monitoring solutions. It’s too much for one person to do that.

    Where are you hosting it? Onsite? Megacorporation’s clod solution? Your cable line? What’s your data recovery plan? 200+ users can generate a lot of data. What’s the security plan? You do know how to harden every aspect of each subsystem, right? What’s the monitoring plan? Not just “is it down” but way more granular for each subsystem. How many tech and phone support people will be on call to help?

    You could probably roll it out in a way that would work, but at that scale you should really be using a pro. Especially for a “friend”. Don’t want a tech problem to kill that friendship.
