Seems like archive.is is using DNS-based load-balancing/fail-over. My best guess is that the person/group that's running archive.is is having some operational issues right now and you caught that issue.
For the record: from GCP (using default resolvers, e.g. Google) region europe-north1-a... archive.is resolves to 46.45.185.30.
I enjoy googling a new phrase as much as the next person... but really?
From WP: Ceteris paribus or caeteris paribus is a Latin phrase meaning "other things equal". English translations of the phrase include "all other things being equal" or "other things held constant" or "all else unchanged".
In this particular case (I have personal experience and have done the research) I'd say the two countries are on par, if you are lucky enough to get the top level treatment in each country.
I guess she has a health insurance as part of her employment at Adam Savage's Tested.com.
Having a Swedish citizenship, she also has the option to travel back to Sweden, sign a form and within a day or so be eligle for free healthcare there.
Hesitated whether to share this or not, in case Simone would read it...
My (then 70yo) mom got diagnosed with something very similar three years ago (golfball-sized tumor just behind one of the eyeballs). It was super scary for everyone involved.
The surgeon (in Linköping, Sweden) was one of the top specialists globally on this type of procedure - I did a ton of research before the surgery.
Recovery took a few days. They were wonderful at the hospital.
She's fine now, but her eye-sight on the affected eye is like 30%. I think the reason for this is that it was diagnosed quite late.
I'm quite surprised that such a young person like Simone (she's 27 according to wikipedia) has a golf-ball sized tumor.
I'm a little bit past 40 now. I saw the writing on the wall about ten years ago (hey, why is there like 1 programmer older than 50 in my company's engineering team of 500?) and started thinking about optimizing my career for this. I was the lead engineer for a rising product. Based on this thinking I consistently made choices that led to more engineering management rather than individual contribution work.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still deeply technical, but I spend at least 40-50% of my time dealing with human problems, getting them to work together, resolve conflicts etc etc.
Ten years later, the results are:
- Financially: Check. I'm okay. I can kinda stop working now, if I want to. If I hadn't done that thinking a decade ago, I would not be in this financially secure position.
- Fun-wise: Meh. It was a lot more fun to build stuff than to get people to build stuff.
To be honest, I'm not sure what's the right path here.
I was approached by some Google recruiter for a very specific engineering management role based on my background. I also thought the same about that general pool thing before that.
The process seemed quite different from what I've read here about the Google software engineer recruitment process.
(After a few phone calls/interviews I realized this was not a position I would likely enjoy, all things considered, so I told them I thought I was bad fit because of A and B, but please keep me in mind if you have another opening that's more suitable.)
