Since RSUs vest over time, the penny-for-penny equivalent financial transaction for receiving $100K worth of RSUs over 4 years, would be for me to receive $100K of cash compensation over 4 years, and using it to buy stock (That I can't sell for X months).

There's no advantage to RSUs. Cash is better in every way, because, at worst, you can invest it in the exact same allocation that your RSUs are invested in. Any gain from them rising in price could have been realized by investing cash. Any loss from them falling in price is a real, not a paper loss. [1]

I'll take $100 of cash over $100 of RSUs any day. I probably wouldn't take $80 of cash over $100 of RSUs, though.

You are paying for fulfilling your childhood dreams (of not owning the worst home computer on the market). This alone is priceless. ZX Spectrum Next piles a ton of features from good computers back to the Spectrum. Storage, sound, sprites, no color clash, real keyboard, things owners used to vigorously argue were not important back in the day on the playground. Now is your chance to experience alternate universe where Spectrum actually was that good home computer, the best actually for ~1982-87.

Product itself is fantastic, you can clearly see a lot of love went into polishing the old .. erm computer.

Org-drill is technically good for this, but ask yourself - when do you actually sit down and revise something? At your desk? In public transport? In the toilet?

If like me the answer is the last two, then stick with Anki. Much more portable.
I don't disagree with your first paragraph - though I also remember, in London, giant billboards and cinema ads for chrome too as well as advertising for it on the google search page.

However, I switched from Firefox to Chrome when the former changed how DPI were calculated, told everyone that the new way is the right way and it's up to websites to deal with it, and everything looked wrong in the meantime. And then I noticed that on Chrome, not only did things look a bit nicer to me (quite apart from the DPI issue), but the same sites I often used rendered just a little bit faster - faster enough to be noticeable.

At the time, at least for me, Chrome was at least equal to Firefox in terms of product quality.

Well the lunch break is not work time in Sweden so if you have a 1 hour lunch you just work longer in the afternoon. 30 minutes lunch (scheduled to fit the shifts) has been the norm when I have done blue collar work. I don't know anyone who has fika every hour. 15 minutes breakfast break and 15 minutes in the afternoon (on the clock) is normal.

> The FAQ literally asks if he was fired and answers no.

The faq is lying. If a company is going to pressure someone out of a position in this kind of a situation, they are obviously going to lie about it.

In the same way that companies will lie and say things like "he quit to spend more time with his family", this FAQ is also a lie.

Obviously Eich was paid money to not try and take down the company with him.

That's how these situations work. Of course he isn't going to go scortched earth. He doesn't benefit from that.
Something I forgot to add: Sweden does have some great gig worker to-the-door delivery companies that have sprung up, particularly around small items like from online pharmacies. When you fulfill an order using those companies they typically have a great monitoring app to track where your delivery is, to input your building door code if necessary, inform you when it's been left outside your door, etc.

I always find it a great contrast to compare to premium shipping companies like DHL and FedEx, whenever I'm unlucky enough to get a delivery from them from overseas. They're still stuck in a world of "we'll deliver between 9am and 6pm, be ready" and they also make little attempt to ask for door codes if you live in the inner city, so most first attempts end up with "premises was not accessible" with no convenient way to give them the four digit code they need. I spent 1+ hour on hold last week with DHL and FedEx for this exact purpose. It will be interesting to see how "modern" of an approach Amazon takes.

It's foremost an issue between amazon and the unions. The labour market in the Nordic countries are organized through negotiations between employers and the workers. Usually the state tries to stay out of it, letting the labour marked self-regulate.

Potentially true, my reflection point is Finland instead of Sweden. Unions over here are however thinly masked extensions of political parties, yes they operate somewhat independently but each political party has a 'favourite' union who they influence through unofficial channels.

I always attempt to shop from Amazon Germany because (a) larger variety of items, and (b) I feel I can trust the reviews there.

LoRa cannot handle much data at all. At the lowest data rate you're talking 51 bytes taking 400ms to transmit. Its also far better at uplink traffic than downlink, meaning 2 way communication is very, very, very limited.

ReasonML (the syntax/language) will continue to work with both the ReScript compiler/framework and with the ocaml compiler.

This is how a lack of a vision manifests - if there was a vision, there would be meaningful work for everyone, instead of people inventing unwanted features to keep themselves busy.

And of course, vision needs user & customer research, it's not a thing a 'leader' could hallucinate with no external inputs.
And in other news, continuously extrapolating exponential or compound growth without regards to maturity scenarios will result in whatever you're extrapolating eventually occupying all atoms and energy in the universe.
Good thing collective bargaining doesn't involve politicians, then. Unless the elected politicians decide to uproot the entire Swedish system by changing the laws, there's little they can do to interfere with this process. About 70% of the Swedish workforce is in some kind of union.

Worst case-scenario for Amazon is that we'll see some kind of stand-off where multiple labor unions prevent their members from working for Amazon, or doing work for Amazon (usually things like truck drivers at other businesses going on strike instead of delivering good to/from Amazon).

I have to weigh in.

Spent on 8 Airbnb rental trips. All ok. Then one crazy host without feedback left a false review claiming property damage in a room I never used and that I “used escorts” when I stayed with my family. I had no time to reply and was unable on multiple appeals to get the false review removed from Airbnb.

To this day I’m not sure what was in her mind but I think she got into trouble with her neighbour for hosting on Airbnb and then lied on my feedback out of malice/being emotionally disturbed.

The problem wasn’t this odd event - the problem is a completely stopped using Airbnb because this one false reviewed ruined my reputation even though it had been perfect until then.

Airbnb being unable to handle lies / fabrications even from hosts with next to no feedback compared to a reputable guest - me - result in a broken system.

Really disappointed this was never resolved. It could happen to you when you least expect it - be warned.

> High fidelity operational metrics have a useful half life measured in days or weeks.

It depends on how high fidelity you're talking but in my experience retaining these metrics can be valuable, not only for viewing seasonal trends already mentioned in another reply but for debugging problems. It can be helpful to be able to view prior events and compare metrics at those times to a current scenario, for example as a part of a postmortem analysis. I do agree that the usefulness of old metrics falls off with time. Metrics issued from a system 3 years ago likely have little in common with the system running today.
I agree with the spirit of this article.

However, the problem is that most of the time when we think "I could build that in an afternoon!" we are underestimating the complexity involved.

Sometimes it takes an afternoon of coding and months of debugging.
Sweden and Finland are pretty alike, but Sweden's system has a bit less political interference compared to how it's here in Finland.

The ruling Social Democratic Party has strong ties with the unions though.

its the other way around.
Just scramble keycaps on keyboard. No need for blank keycaps.
I'm sorry for your experience. I don't think people really deserve a right to review a place if they cancel immediately so i do agree with airbnb on this. Reviews are always a sad affair. recently had the first guest for a particular room who left a bad review. He was an old squatter so used to much better value for money and it (coincidentically) just happened that he checked out late because of an airbnb mistake so i had to tell him to go. i think that reflected in the score. is there anything to be done about this? such things are unfortunately just part of life. And i suppose even a two star review is preferable over 'we-dont-know-whether-this-is-a-trap-or-not'.
A star IS a fusion reactor. Already built, already working, already fusing hydrogen. If you want to power an interplanetary civilization, there's zero point in building your own, when you already have a working one, and all you need is to keep adding energy collectors as the demand grows.
That's a pretty marginal change in the context of European labor practices. There is still an "obligation of peace" while a bargaining agreement is in place, for example. It will (initially at least) only affect sites where there is more than one union who are competing for the same category of members, which is not all that common.

This was less a strike than a forced government shutdown due to COVID-19. amazon couldn’t satisfy the French government that the French warehouses and fulfillment centers were going to be safe for workers, so they were shutdown. I assume that the German ones satisfied the German government to German standards, and so were kept open.

Meshtastic (and the LoRa tech underneath it in general) has a lot lower bandwidth than some people expect.

> "I don't get it. We've managed for so long to do things quickly - why is it now that we can't go fast?"

"You can go fast when you're rapidly prototyping something that doesn't have to go to production, doesn't have to support thousands of users, is allowed to fall over at any time, and doesn't need to be maintained. You can also go fast when you're working on a well-designed system that is designed to support what you're trying to do. But the moment you start making it do something it wasn't originally designed to do, you slow down, and you risk turning the code into a mess that will slow you down even further in the future. If you want to go fast, let us refactor it now, so it will support the things we want to use it for."

And if they don't get that, maybe they shouldn't be in a position to make decisions about this sort of thing. Though I guess they won't respond well to you telling them that.
> however the wiki itself (moinmoin)

Right, so I think the key think spammers need to make spam "pay" is to make it scalable: only 0.1% of people will click on your link, but if you can generate a million new "views" per month, then that's 1000 clicks per month. So the key thing for a spammer is to be able to automate as much as possible. One key element in preventing spam, therefore, is to try to make it so that a human has to be in the loop somewhere.

In my case, I wrote the website; I suspect any login bot would have to be customized to my specific website to be effective. I'm sure it doesn't take much time, but you'd still have to start an automatic bot specifically for my site. Why would you do that if you saw that all of your attempts to get spam up had failed?

In your case, you're using a standard tool. Someone's already written a bot that can log into any moinmoin instance; and almost certainly someone's written tools to scan all websites for new moinmoin instances and try to create accounts. It's probably unlikely anyone has specifically thought about your site at all; they'd probably have to write special code to remove it from their automatic scans. Same thing as before -- even if their bot fails on 99% of moinmoin sites, that 1% makes it worth keeping it going.

> PS: SPAM wise the bots were just an annoyance. But every page hit runs moinmoin's Python code and it's not the fastest thing.

> It will (initially at least) only affect sites where there is more than one union who are competing for the same category of members, which is not all that common.

It is abstractly a huge deal and practically a huge deal for Hamnen, SAC, Brandmännens Riksförbund and other alternative unions because it excludes all competition among unions and channels all reform through the internal political workings of those unions like LO/Kommunal. As the a laywer in Arbetaren explained (and others have explained elsewhere) previously, it allows for company (i.e. "yellow") unions which is a realistic problem now considering Amazon is involved.
I inherently don't like these sorts whataboutism used in your comment, it's a poor approach to questioning the morality/strategy of any country and but-the-US-did-x-minor-thing has long been used by dictators and the like to justify horrible things. Especially when it's not even top-down but a single phone call of some mid-tier diplomat.

That said, after reading Nuland's Wikipedia her brazenness is something I'd expect more from the old CIA than the modern state dept. It's rich hearing her protest against Russian interference in the sovereignty of another country while trying to play the cocky puppet-master role in the background over the future leadership of Ukraine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland?oldformat=true...

But the main forgiving grace is that she was only assistant for Europe which isn't top tier and in other cases has demonstrated a maverick streak, not a person receptive to operating under authority or established norms. She’s also super pro-intervention in general which is less popular these days.

Most importantly this is not anywhere near the level of intervention shown by Russia. Really, it's extremely insignificant by comparison.

Russia has long been grasping at straws to build the western intervention is just as bad conspiracy. If all Russia has is some heavy-handed backroom phone call by a minor diplomat then the US doesn't have much to worry about.
