I think the union rep from Handels is correct. They'll get Amazon to cave.

Amazon is the quintessential hill to die on for the unions and the labour laws are incredibly strong in Sweden. Here's how I think it might play out if Amazon refuses to sign:

- Handels requests collective bargaining

- Amazon declines but are sued in court and loses (you are required to bargain)

- Negotiations fail and Amazon refuses to sign

- The union realises that this is their David v Goliath and blockades the company

- Amazon refuses to cave

- The union declares widespread "sympathetic strikes".

- in the end garbage collectors will refuse to pick up garbage at their warehouse. Electricians will refuse to service their warehouse. Plumbers will not plumb. Workers, builders, postmen etc will all simply stop servicing Amazon. Companies that deal with Amazon can also be put in a blockade.

- Amazon will also receive zero support for from politicians for two reasons, first it's not a political matter. Second even the right wing opposition party will know better than to go against the electorate on this matter.

It's simply not possible to operate a large scale business in Sweden without support of the labour unions (or by having workers conditions that exceed the perceived minimum). If a large scale business wants to operate in the country they _must_ sign a collective bargaining agreement.

I don't know if you've quite understood how Swedish labor law differs from the French.

Sweden is a little unique in that we have fewer strikes than most European countries. The reason is the "fredsplikt": as long as there is a collective bargaining agreement in place, if a worker goes on strike they can be legally laid off for shirking work.

So, strikes will only happen at most every two-three years when the current agreement expires. And while then there may be a threat of strike, it seldom comes to that.

In contrast, in most contries (notably France), unions may do "political strikes" to express opinions.

Amazon won't be worried about their Swedish employees unpredictably going on strike for better terms. They will be worrying about having to agree to the same collective agreement as competing businesses. They will not get to push salaries lower than others, or squeeze slightly more hours or shorter breaks. So, they will have to look forward to their profits coming from economy of scale and not mistreatment of their warehouse workers. They will not be able to keep prices 10% lower than competitors while keeping the same profit margin, the way they do in the U.S.

Until they sign an agreement, workers at other companies will likely put them under blockade, which means truckers from suppliers will refuse to ship to Amazon's Swedish warehouse; Postal workers will not pick up shipments to consumers; Caterers and conference centres won't service management meetings; Electricians will not service their warehouse; Garbage will not get picked up, etc. They can do some of this themselves, instead, but that's a very high threshold to cross on day 1.

When I first tried to learn the Dvorak keyboard layout, I popped the key caps off an old keyboard, and rearranged them to match Dvorak, then wrote a kernel driver that allowed me to have one Dvorak and on QWERTY keyboard plugged in at the same time. It worked much better when I just switched keyboard mappings without rearranged key caps and IM'd friends for a few days. The pressure to keep up with conversations is good motivation.
If you don't have test coverage, you can't refactor (or at least it's a terrible idea).

The first step in refactoring is writing a test (probably component level at first) such that you can make sure you don't break anything.

Seriously, this is all covered in Fowler's book on refactoring (which is incredibly worth a read).
It wasn't the opinion, it was the actions that were taken. As CEO you're in the spotlight. A CEO also (together with the board) sets direction. That's quite different from any other position within the company. Meaning, for most positions I do not understand why people are getting fired. For a CEO to act in a way that is highly frowned upon, plus goes against what the company is trying to convey, that's just plain weird. IMO keeping such a person on would be strange.

My contacts aren't all my buddies and conversely many of my buddies in WhatsApp or Snapchat or whatever aren't in my contact list.

Trying to repurpose one data silo that contains contacts such as my dentist and a taxi firm and reusing it as 'buddies' is clumsy and ill-considered.

Germany has interesting approach for this: if you can't be reached, the delivery will be left to whichever neighbour or coffee shop happens to accept it. You'll get notified where it was left, and then just go knocking.

It's quite weird at first but in my experience works surprisingly well. Very rarely one has to go queue in the post office to collect the parcel.

I think this is a valid point. Donors don't want to give money to further enrich Mozilla's overpaid leadership, and they don't want to give money to then be split between the cause they're really donating for (generally Firefox) and various tangentially related political causes.

There's no way to donate directly to Firefox development.

As a German, don't trust the reviews, they're heavily manipulated. I guess at some point (e.g. top seller with thousands of reviews) manipulation doesn't move the needle as much, but for plenty of products with < 100 reviews, there's often dozens that are likely fakes (even without counting the paid Vine reviews).
Imagine clustering 7 desktops from 2006, same performance.

It depends on how the code is structured. Our apps use a micro kernel / plugin architecture of loosely coupled modules so most of the time it is sufficient to know only a few modules to be able to refactor. Fundamental changes require a lot more knowledge - this is true - but they are not common.

In my experience so far it is the structuring for maintainability that really shows the skill of the programmer - writing the logic itself is the easy part.
> I feel I can trust the reviews [on Amazon Germany]

I... wouldn't do that.
When I lived in Sweden I was a religious user of prisjakt.nu and thought the reviews there were decent
I live in OB, and the idea of any type of enforcement is laughable. I can go down to the area in the article any time, day or night, and buy pot, meth, cocaine, LSD, DMT, mushrooms, heroin, ketamine, etc in less than 10 minutes. If they can't enforce the drug laws, how are they going to do with the mask laws?
True, though that blog post also says "We do not crawl or scrape websites to source these lyrics.", which was definitely not true (though may be now).
I’ve been using a 60% keyboard for a couple of years now, with a Magic Trackpad off to the right. The total size is about that of a full size keyboard (with numpad).

The thing about 60% and ten-keyless keyboards, is the smaller size means your hands travel less. Yeah, some common things are now chords as opposed to discrete keys.

But chords are easy to learn if you’re using them every day. They’re not for everyone, just like any accessibility feature.

Above all, the 60% keyboard is more comfortable.
On this quantity of data, you wouldn't be able to do this manually.

Really? That's what's got you bent out of shape?

One thing I've learned in my time as an engineer is that ultimately, the course and attitude of a company comes from the top. Thus, what upper management chooses to say is a great indicator of the health and direction of a company, especially to a non-employee or someone without other knowledge of the company. I can understand why people would react strongly to this latest missive from Mozilla - apparently, everything we like about Mozilla and Firefox is going to be dismantled to aid in the fight against systematic racism (and starting immediately with the mass layoff of the Servo team). Yes, this is enough to make me consider switching.
FWIW, Great Filter is a really simple idea, and it's very well known in certain circles (e.g. LessWrong community, to formation of which Robin Hanson contributed). I personally had no idea Robin coined it, or that Bostrom wrote about it, despite reading some text of both - and yet I could still give the same explanation way before Kurzgesagt's video aired.

Which is to say, I didn't find the lack of attribution worrisome in this video, because the idea is pretty much "public domain" in the circles interested about the future. It was (as you note) before the time when Kurzgesagt decided to get super-thorough about citing their sources, and I charitably assume that the authors of the video were just aware of the concept of the Great Filter, and not necessarily where they learned about it from. It's a simple idea, easy to explain, and easy to make inferences from - so it may not have occurred to them it's worth tracking down who originally coined the term.

>Everybody in Sweden right now has an uneasy feeling about Amazon

Everybody? I dont. Im in Sweden. So your statement is false.
I think you are mostly right. But I cannot recall when the last time was when the unions blockaded a company of Amazon's size. All my memories of this from the news involved smaller businesses, which of course crumble under the pressure. If plumbers and electricians will blockade, that is one thing, it might be possible to source these services from abroad. But if delivery drivers will not show up that is something entirely different, that is so central to their business that it is hard to circumvent.

This is maybe not a fight Amazon is eager to have in any case. So I think it will play out slightly different.
I stayed in a place that had cockroaches and no hot water in the shower. Airbnb eventually let us move to another unit, but we were unable to review the unit that we had originally booked, and which we stayed in for over a week.

Any guest whom Airbnb agrees to re-home based on the conditions of their original unit should be allowed to leave a review for that unit.

I was asked if there's consensus regarding the effectiveness of HCQ. Currently, there is not. Not long ago, medical professionals were recommending it and there was, at least publicly, a consensus of sorts based on the positive results of early studies.

I then pointed out how fast consensus shifted from 'this stuff is awesome' to 'this stuff is stupid' because I believe it's relevant for anyone trying to formulate their own opinion about how solid that consensus really is.

The twitter wars and the general terrible communication online is a totally separate topic, and the one I was originally commenting on because /u/gbrown seemed to have a more positive outlook than I do on the subject.

I had very similar experiences (unpleasant/unavailable host, squalid quarters and negative reviews being taken down) on Airbnb.

That is the unspoken rule in a two sided marketplace where one party is given preferential treatment (hosts in Airbnb, restaurants in delivery businesses and so on).

Like you, I too have lost faith in Airbnb reviews.

> I'm several months in and still need to "test" touch type when I need a ç or ñ

I found that using US-international mostly removes the need to look for the dedicated accented letter.

It works by making you compose accented character instead of typing them directly.

For instance, you have to press the grave accent key [`] then [a] to make "à". The apostrophe doubles as the acute accent and cedilla key, so ['] then [e] makes "é", [`] and [c] makes "ç".

It works for most diacritics in European languages (`, ~, ^, ', "). Also, to get the original character, press space (or double press them to double type them).

It's probably a tiny bit slower than having dedicated keys, but I find the consistency nice to have.
I actually use Amazon DE/UK/US for to look at reviews but I more often than not end up purchasing from a Swedish e-tailer. There are some exceptions though, like when the price is just much lower on Amazon DE. I had to buy a label maker last week and the price on Amazon DE for a specific model was almost 40% cheaper than buying it from a local store in Sweden.

No it wasn't.

Firefox has always been significantly better at memory usage than Chrome. Here is a benchmark from 2012 [0] and Firefox's memory usage only went down after that [1]. On the other hand Chrome is infamous for its extravagant RAM usage ([2] and million other web search results). Only in the last few years Google have started to pay attention to Chrome's memory use.

> so they were shutdown

They weren't shut down, that was Amazons decision. The court only told them to reduce operations to specific categories of its store site - the idea was to somehow reduce operations to a safe amount as Amazon had repeatedly failed to so by itself. Amazon then made up the nebulous "essential products" category and made sure to complain loudly about the supposed nonsense the court required while it shut down french warehouses completely.

As-if the business side of things has any idea of how long something will take. Refactoring or doing some infrastructure work can just be tagged together with some other bits.

For the business side of things it's more important to know when things will be ready and knowing that timeline.

Further, a manager can explain that e.g. "the car needs maintenance". Business isn't against such things, but if the manager cannot switch from IT-speak to business language then it might seems that the business side won't get it.. but maybe it was the explanation that was lacking.

Especially in sprints I noticed that it's understandable to everyone that not everything is finished in one sprint. Though if it happens to often, maybe just promise less.
