Any recent updates on the progress of Content Market

Although I don't know which country Avi is from, I'll tell you about Portugal.

Overall, you can't be fired - you'll go on a medical leave of absence and you receive about half your paycheck (this can be more depending on circumstances). In certain cases you also get free medical treatment (although you pay for bought medication at a reduced price, you don't pay for anything else, medication or other service, provided by doctors in public hospitals). Your case needs to be regularly assessed to see if you are fit to return to work - then your company has to accept you back and, if needed, find ways to help you do your work in case of some remaining disabilities.

It's not perfect though, a few years back a primary school teacher undergoing chemo was deemed fit for work although she had throat cancer - there was a lot of backlash but it still took months before anything was done about it.

Thank you, Teresa. I always like to learn how things are done in other countries. A person can learn a lot by looking at other systems of anything and see what works and what doesn't. I just wish the US wasn't so full of itself and would look at and learn how other countries do things.

Btw, the US is my country and I do vote so I can complain about its many fails. :D LOL
 
I should point out that every company in the US isn't awful when it comes to handling extended illness in its employees. While I was on dialysis for almost 8 years I had to miss work a half day every Tuesday and Thursday plus I had a lot of doctor's appointments and my energy level and concentration level wasn't always great but my employer stuck by me.
 
Australia is pretty great in this regard. We get leave and sick leave entitlement and in my experience that generally goes unquestioned. Doctors can provide sick certificates.

I personally just got diagnosed with cancer on Saturday. By cob Thursday the cancer will be removed. My employer has been fantastic so far and not questioned my work commitment at all. They basically shooed me out of the building and told me to stop worrying about anything to do with them.

If you are in your 30s please get your nuts inspected... I'm really quite surprised at how not unhealthy I feel given what has been found. I wouldn't have noticed it or found it without the doctor.

Yay....

Josh, I'm so sorry. Has it been staged and all that stuff? Have they X-ray'd your lungs?
 
I've had ultra sounds and ct scans and its looking like we caught it early. Waiting for bloods to come back though and won't really find out the next steps until post op.

Getting old sucks.
 
I'm sorry to hear that - all the best of luck! Because luck is important to help doctors get you back in shape in these cases.

Very sorry to hear this but happy it was caught early!

My brother went through exactly this just last year and the new surgeries using robots make recovery time SUPER fast. The incision was super small and his latest blood work shows its 100% gone.

Hopefully you will have the same outcome! :)
 
Josh, so sorry to hear about your illness! I’m amazingly glad that it’s been found early, and I wish you all the best for your prognosis, treatment, and recovery. Look after yourself.
 
Daplunk, sorry to hear about the diagnoses but I'm glad it was caught early. That seems to be the best way to beat it.

I have a friend in Australia who is perplexed by all things medical and otherwise in the US. We are always discussing it and asking each other questions. She's always telling me I need to move there. The way things are going here I may take her up on that. ;)
 
Thanks guys, It's a shit of a thing but it will be killed very shortly.

For any Americans playing at home. 3x specialist appointments so far. That put me about $300 out of pocket ($180ish per appointment with $70ish paid back by the governments Medi-Care system). There's been some tests and stuff but that had no cost. So that started on Saturday and the surgery will happen the following Thursday (tomorrow). So it's all very quick and going through the public hospital system there was next to no wait (Wednesday would have been soonest and that almost happened) and no out of pocket cost.

From what I understand of America that is not how this would pan out for you guys.

We opted not to use Private Health cover since it's only day surgery so really no point doing all that paper work.

Good luck with that. I had an actual job in Sydney back just after the turn of the century and still couldn't get a work visa for Australia. They have very strict immigration rules.

Everything depends on your health insurance here. For instance when I went into kidney failure I was working for a company that had very good health insurance, Blue Cross/Blue Shield for anyone in the US, and it was amazing until I went on Medicare which is public insurance for the very sick and retired, turns out that Nixon of all people changed the law so that people in kidney failure who need dialysis are covered by Medicare which is pretty much a life saver since each treatment costs thousands of dollars and the copays on private insurance would have bankrupted me.
 
Holy crap, daplunk! Get better and all. Though, cancer is scary enough that I hardly feel like it's enough.

Buahaha! Cloning Rob is a great idea! Unfortunately, there's no room in my schedule for that kind of project. Any volunteers? haha

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this Josh. I very much hope all goes well!
 
So it's great to hear your making headway on 64-bit and fixing bugs but in the past few weekly updates within RW, but nothing has been mentioned about the Content Manager which I thought was the main intent of everything. We've been promised the Content Market multiple times and each time the promised day has come and gone.
This was from August 10th:

Hello everyone!
Paizo has been kind enough to address the remaining issues with their API and we have several weeks worth of extra work to do to make it viable on our end. Devs will be testing everything to ensure it all goes smoothly and providing nothing explodes, we are targeting September for the Content Market release and hopefully some bug updates.

We are now at end of Oct.
Yes, we asked for more updates on what's been going on and the progress of things.
We appreciate these updates.
But the main complaints from everyone is the broken promise of the Content Market.

What's the status of this?
Will we see it prior to 2019, or has this been put to the side while other bugs and migration to 64-bit have taken the main focus?
