So it sounds like the action isn't about particulars, at least not at this point.

They are describing the dispute as being about general principles afaict. That Tesla should accept the "swedish labour model" in general. They emphasize that it's an non-disruptive model and good for business.

This stuff is all context(that I don't have. Otherwise it's just a generic "unions or not" debate unrelated to Tesla, Sweden or 2023.

That said... US companies seem at aeas with these sorts of issues in Europe. In china, companies either stay out or bite the bullet and play by Chinese rules.

In Europe, especially around labour issues... American companies seem to always "rebel." It's as if local labour laws just aren't taken into prior account... and companies are caught surprised by the inevitable.

This doesn't really happen outside of Europe, nor for non-labour issues like environmental regs.

What is this? How/why?
Sweden exports 3x more to the US than the other way around, and of those $15B in exports it's primarily critical infra like trucks, medicine, and refined petroleum. I don't believe the US would "retaliate" because Musk doesn't want to give his ~130 employees industry-standard packages in Sweden, but if they did A) it's not a huge amount and B) I doubt the US really wants to reduce critical infra to help a trillion dollar company strong-arm a union in another country lol
There are more people in Ohio right now than there are Swedes. The successful administration and/or failed-state-ness of Sweden simply isn’t a very big concern in terms of addressable market.

This is to say nothing about whether or not Tesla has to care about Sweden; just that Sweden is a tiny country with 10.5M people and it probably isn’t make/break for any global enterprise attempting to operate at planet scale (as it seems Tesla is trying to do).

He had a contained, super-slow growing pancreatic cancer with a high-90s survival rate if he got his pancreas removed.

Instead, he waited years until it had metastasized everywhere and it was too late simply because he couldn't bear the though of someone cutting on him. They then did a far more massive surgery on a fool's errand trying to cut it out of all the places it had gone.

Then he paid off a transplant foundation to get a liver that he definitely shouldn't have gotten meaning someone else died so he could get a transplant then die anyway.

Things can get really complicated with x11 when you have processes running on remote machines or using XEmbed.

With XEmbed, what may look like a single window is actually multiple windows all managed by different processes with their own render loops.

Speaking of XEmbed, many years ago, we had an application that ran complicated visualization pipelines. We wanted to add a modern GUI around it to configure it and provide interaction. We didn't have the ability to rewrite the original application, so we wrote a Gtk GUI and used XEmbed to embed the other process in it, then used a unix socket to send commands back and forth. To the user, it was seamless and worked really well!

It can be True and Trite at the same time. I've lived the startup CEO journey from 0 to successful exit, and "You have to care about everything more than anything" is almost poetic in terms of summarizing the constant chaos and battering you take mentally.

Now, would that have made sense or been useful to me during the early stages? Not at all. It has almost no educational value.

It reminds me of some famous quote that goes like "Life consists of learning profound lessons that appear trite from the outset... until you actually live and learn them."
To call the "new" Outlook a horrible piece of software, would be an insult to actually horrible pieces of software. They're one tier below that, wherever that is.

Well, the consent item is "sync" and that translates in your sample more to "you consent to let them take pictures of your house whenever they want". And for that, a key property is the username (or your house key). Otherwise, "sync"/"taking photos any time" would not work. You could argue that "sync" could be considered 1-time sync or permanent sync ... but honestly we talk about IMAP and a permanent connection to fetch Emails. Let us not assume we talk about a one time "sync".

I was a member of a huge union for a long time and they don't do anything if you're fired or laid off. Because you aren't in the union anymore. But they loved collecting dues. I wonder where all that money goes? There must be a way to find out.
The most I've ever done was nearly 500 lines of C++ in a single day, around the year 2005. The domain was capital markets. The code complied the first time and ran with only a few bugs. The code was spread across several functions, but no classes or other abstractions. Only business logic and I/O operations. Written on vi. Not even vim (no syntax highlighting). On a telnet session to a server about a 100 meters away. There were no meetings that day. Never been able to replicate this feat since.
Which begs the question why isn't it flagging a lack of comments on what the function/class does.
> Is Rust merely the It-Thing at the moment that people are mimetically/socially driven to latch onto?

I think so. Sociological phenomenon initially bootstrapped by a small number of "influencers". Same with golang 10 years back. Same with frameworks (angular, react). Do you remember the hype around "XML revolution" around 2000? It was arguably bigger than rust's.

It would be fairly stupid for a country to retaliate against another country because one of their companies failed to abide by local rules and regs. Not that it hasn't happened before but this isn't how you remain a dominant player in the market, such powder is best kept dry for when it is really needed.

What's NATO got to do with it? Really these are absurd statements. The US is tickled pink that Sweden finally joins NATO and three weeks later they go and drop out of NATO on account of a business dispute?
That's just a childish approach. Why would the US government retaliate? What is this? 19th century gunboat diplomacy?
Some companies absolutely try it for environmental regs, too. I think what you're possibly seeing here is that where a multinational tries labour abuses, the response is typically very messy and public, whereas only the very most extreme _regulatory_ offences will be particularly publicly visible (typically where the company tries to defy the regulator after being caught red-handed). More commonly they'll be told what they need to fix and possibly fined.
> If a government is small does it have enough power to impose the rule of law and be an economic and social moderator ?

That's a very binary take. Nobody argues for "smaller in all dimensions", just smaller in specific dimensions.
The problem with mining is generally the externalities are not fully priced into the costs associated with the mines. Coal is a very messy business, and its aging so we get to see the after effects on the environment from all of its by products. The companies go bankrupt leaving states with massive cleanup concerns. To properly factor these things in and make it safer to mine in the US would make it unprofitable compared to less regulated countries.

Saying it’s in the middle of no where doesn’t mean it has no impact on others. Coal slurry spills and similar have washed downstream in creeks and rivers causing drinking water issues in places like West Virginia in recent years.

Here’s a simple thing with chemicals for cleaning coal where basic eye sight inspections meant anyone could have seen and recognized the issues and done something, but instead were allowed to fail, causing mass poisoning concerns for 300,000 people, https://grist.org/politics/no-rules-governed-tank-that-leake...

> The main reason for IF Metall to take industrial action at Tesla is to ensure that our members have decent and safe working conditions.

I’m Swedish and have been following this closely. I’ve yet to see anything that indicates either a) that Tesla employees do not have decent and safe working conditions or b) that Tesla employees themselves want a collective agreement with IF Metall. In fact Tesla has stated that their agreement is better for employees than the one the union IF Metall is trying to impose. There are also statements from Tesla mechanics in the press to the same effect, e.g. because they currently get stock options.

To me it’s quite obvious that this is about defending “the Swedish model”, a semi-socialist labour market system where compensation is decided primarily in negotiations between cartels of unions and cartels of large employers. (Individuals can negotiate their own salaries, but in practice only within this reference frame of collective bargaining.)

That wasn't just corporate marketing; Java was the first memory safe language to be widely used in enterprise code, and it led to a lot of C/C++ code being rewritten to address the issue of memory safety bugs. The same may happen with Rust, or perhaps C++ will add facilities for a memory safe subset of the language.
Over Tesla? No way! The US didn't even go nearly as far over the Boeing-Airbus disputes.

Also, the EU countries field, between them and the UK, multiple aircraft carriers, nuclear subs (hunter-killer and ICBM ones), modern militaries (albeit smaller in size than during the cold war) and robust industrial base for basically everything. Surey the US quiting wouldn't be great, but it wpuld be an even worse self inflicted wound than Brexit.

Unless Elon ends up POTUS (after all, in Demolition Man they passed an ammendment to allow Schwarzeneger to be elected, so ehy not?), the US won't do nothing over Tesla whatsoever, now or in the future.

I dug into one such report that broke and apparently it was around 30 videos that they had found. When I checked Pornhub, I believe it currently had over 20,000 videos, and that was presumably after they'd been under quite a bit of scrutiny. IMO there is quite a mismatch in magnitude there.

Of course, there probably were other illicit videos, but there is no reason, in my opinion, to suggest that Pornhub had an unusually large problem. Unfortunately though, a lot of the videos like this that wind up undetected likely have been spreading through the Internet for several years going unnoticed simply because it doesn't look particularly different from any other pornography. As it turns out, at least certainly late teens look a lot like young adults.

This does create an unfortunate conundrum for anyone allowing user generated content that is pornographic. Even ignoring explicit abuse, teens are relentlessly horny and will upload inappropriate things to the Internet, or even try to sell it. Seriously short-sighted behavior, but you know... they're teenagers. We've all been there. It's not some alien condition.

I understand that people have extremely strong emotions about this and want a zero-tolerance stance, but it's not possible. If you allow adult content, you inevitably get some ideally-infinitesimal trickle of illicit content, probably often strictly by accident. Best you can do is try to find it and clean it up as effectively as possible.

I fully understand why it's treated like toxic waste, and I'm not trying to justify it, but no matter how despicable the crime is, you can't fully eliminate crime, it doesn't work that way. I think keeping "legitimate" pornography sites like Pornhub was actually likely slowing the amount of said toxic waste because Pornhub actually did moderate, clearly, whereas the back alleys that people are likely to fall back to are going to simply be less well-moderated by their nature. At the end of the day, most social media platforms proliferate a lot more CSAM than Pornhub has even if you estimate very generously.

In the Omegle shutdown letter, the founder notes that Omegle's content moderation resulted in some criminals going to prison. Pornhub's moderation has undoubtedly done the same.

I think you might have had temporary pain that created a bad position and a lack of flexibility (the words I want to use are typically the words I don't know in English, sorry if I'm not accurate, I try).

The same thing happened to my left ankle. A double sprain (both tear) made me walk with an angle and a locked feet for years, which didn't help with rehab at all and caused pain (because I was locking it in uncomfortable positions). Part of it was psychosomatic: like you said, expectation of pain, most of it was real pain caused by myself.

Also I stopped doing sport, kept eating the same, became fat and changed carrier towards CS, because clearly I couldn't keep working my jobs without the ability to run.

So definitely not as simple as you made it to be but true enough that this can be good advice to people with chronic pain.
You mis-spelled 'Geely'.
Kinda weird that a Chinese company can strike a deal with the unions but a US company can not.

Volvos are still being build in Sweden (among other locations).
The unions don’t make any money from forcing a collective bargaining agreement on Tesla. Unions make their money from membership dues, and all workers are free to join, or not to join, a union.
Happy to see my bank on that list.
Yeah I have the same opinion.
This is not workers rights at all, its union power.

There are plenty of Tesla workers in Sweden that do not support the strike.

In Swedish though https://sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/tesla-strejken-och-varfor-m...

I think its time the interwebs also see that Unions are not all good, many work for themselves more than the workers that pay them.

One of the worst , from personal experience, was a modest monthly salary increase but instead we did not get overtime payed.

We did have to pay a higher fee to that mafia after that also.

MS doesn't need to do anything. They don't need to pay anyone off. EU bureaucracy is extremely strongly wedded to MS products like Windows, Office, Teams, Outlook etc. As are all EU national bureaucracies and public institutions.

There are firm opinions by e.g. the BSI (German IT security office, comparable to something between NSA, mostly NIST, DHS and ANSI) and other equivalent European national offices that it is practically impossible to operate modern MS products securely. E.g. there are guidelines from BSI like "we know that in that exact version (which is years old, because the guideline took ages to write) you need to set the following registry keys to prevent data exfiltration. Btw. this won't help you, because you also HAVE to upgrade within a few weeks of each available update". There are firm opinions by multiple European data protection offices that basically say the same about GDPR compliance in MS products. Practically impossible to achieve, there might have been that one configuration, "Once upon a time of writing the report, with that specific version of Windows and Office, when firewalling off half of azure, setting those 300 registry keys, manually deleting the following files, illegal telemetry could no longer be observed. Also, you are obliged by GDPR to follow good practice and update regularly, so good luck with that...".

Basically it is illegal to process any personal data using MS products in the EU if the processing system has any kind of outgoing internet connection. All the bureaucracies ignore this systematically, citing the "impossibility" of working without said MS products. Migration plans away from those illegal processes are regularly cancelled, ignored or never completed. MS is free to do whatever it wants, they are never really investigated, fined or held to any laws.

Meanwhile, other big IT firms like Meta, Google, Twitter/X and lots of others are held to far higher standards. Where tons of your local government's data about you like tax report, criminal records, school records and similar things are subject to being exported to the US via Azure, MS telemetry and what not. With FAANG there is complaining about comparably laughable stuff like "well, that IP address that Google Fonts could observe...".

The problem, why this doesn't change, is that the local government institution is responsible for their data processing (according to GDPR and other laws), MS being only their contractor. And those government institutions are usually (in almost all EU states) free from GDPR and other penalties, and those penalties would be left-pocket-to-right-pocket anyways.

This is why MS gets a free pass on everything. Imho this must end.

The Nordic countries must adapt away from this pre-globalization mentality or have all of their assets slowly withered away by more flexible economies. The same exact problem applies to Finland where I'm from.

Euro-area economies are stagnant or shrinking whilst US economy is churning onwards like a madman. They will buy all of our assets away over time unless we start seriously competing.

Sad, but this is the only choice now that we've chosen to participate in the global economy.
This would be a _baffling_ move by the US, and hasn't happened in previous cases of American companies fucking around and finding out in Scandinavia, even when they were far more iconic American companies like McDonalds.

For practical purposes, the US also cannot just start a trade war with Sweden; they would have to start it with _the EU_. (You'd think people would've learned this from Trump's nonsensical attempts to make trade deals with individual EU countries.)
