The Swedish Transport Agency is required by law to provide plates. If it cannot fulfil its duties because of a force majeur event then it would be expected to explore alternatives like allowing plates to be picked up at the factory, which is not forbidden by law. It might be forbidden by the contract with PostNord, but PostNord is undergoing a force majeure so it cannot object to it.

> If the Swedish government wanted to break the strike, it can--trivially. There is simply zero political will to do so.

That won't be breaking the strike if plates are allowed to be picked up. If the government does not want to follow Swedish law and their duties, then the courts should force it to do so.
> Of course you could just use good old C printf to get some work done. But if you did that the "real" C++ programmers would sneer at you.

As someone who has been programming in C++ since before there were C++ compilers (back in the day, you had to run it through a translator to make it into C code, then use a C compiler), I think I'm as real of a C++ programmer as anybody.

C++ programmers who sneer at you for this are fully worthy of being ignored.

Of course, printf() has its own set of issues as well.

I've heard a story of the opposite, mislabeled from the manufacturer themselves! They were pressing the buyer to upgrade to a newer, faster MOSFET, but the buyer wasn't interested in dealing with going through the EMC compliance process again, so wanted the older parts. Eventually the seller appeared to relent, and shipped a box of FETs with the older label, but lo and behold the assembled boards failed EMC testing, and it turned out the manufacturer had just labelled their newer parts with the old part number and hoped no-one would notice.

If microplastics are bad, nanoplastics can be reasonably assumed to be worse. The main thing I am thinking about is how a decaying plastic molecule might stay mostly unchanged as a microplastic, but once it becomes a nanoplastic the molecule itself could degrade into more toxic chemicals, perfectly sized to interact with our various receptors in our bodies.

AMD’s opencl runtime also historically has an incredible number of bugs and paper features that make any sort of portability between nvidia and AMD cards quite difficult - you are running a special build and a different codepath for AMD anyway, there was no gain from using the ostensibly portable approach.
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the definition of "sympathetic strike".
No, I’m not. I’m on mobile, and failed to convey my message.

What I tried to say is, postal workers are increasing pressure on a company which is treating their workers unfairly, and these workers are connected to the postal workers in a way.

So, what postal workers are doing is justified.
Yes, this is true for any js framework (and most libraries) to be honest.

If you want something “safe”, nowadays the only option is to use one of the big MVC frameworks (django, laravel, rails, etc...) with inertia.js, if you want to use React or Vue.
Completely independent of if you think it is good or bad, it is clear that that the postnord sympathy action is not a strike or walkout.
But everyone has a different "worthwhile channel", which makes the economics of the bundle make sense.
What I actually thought, they do get to buy some time though.
Unfortunately we've made the critical mistake of setting up our entire economic system to require constant growth or the house of cards it's built upon immediately starts falling apart. It sure doesn't help that when this all becomes an active problem, climate change will also be hitting us in full force.

Now maybe we can actually maintain growth with less people through automation, like we've done successfully for farming, mining, industrial production, and the like, but there was always something new for the bulk of the population to move and be productive in. Now there just won't be anything to move to aside from popularity based jobs of which there are only so many.

I'm not usually much of a cult movie person. But I've seen Rocky Horror as a midnight movie, just watched it at home, own a bunch of stage soundtracks, and saw it live on stage a few weeks ago for the first time. And really like it even if it drags a bit in the second act.

It's certainly not a great movie--and it's camp--but I enjoy it.
I have a friend whose observation about many FLOSS projects is "Drama == Fork." I'm trying not to be uncharitable about Libre vs Open here, but it seems to have the aroma of drama. I chartered an IETF WG in the 2000s and there was quite a bit of drama there, though it was sort of important to allow people to be dramatic to express what they wanted the WG to work on for a while. Eventually when they realized there was consensus for something other than what they wanted us to work on, the drama started to recede.

It might be useful to wait three months and revisit LibrePGP and the OpenPGP WG and see what progress has been made.
More often in my experience "x causes y" is how people misunderstand the world. "x causes y" is true in physics, but it is almost never true in metaphysics (anything involving humans).

Trying to explain deeper complexities of metaphysical causality in a logical or scientific way almost always is rejected with a story, and higher base intelligence or a science background tends to amplify the problem rather than reduce it. More cognitive power = better, more persuasive stories I guess?
I believe I should follow my word. Striking violates my principles.
You may well think that, and i agree with you, but that is how the regulation is, afaik. The plates have to be distributed by mail and Postnord has to be used for it.
I very much support workers collecting in solidarity to support each other.

I'm not sure that I like the idea of official agents of a state office, or de facto state office, being authorized to independently choose how to execute their duties.

Would it also be permitted for a group of socially conservative postal workers to refuse to deliver wedding licenses or legal documents to same sex partnerships? To determine which mail had documents for refugees and refuse to deliver those?

Dock workers not offloading boats is one thing, but disrupting the mail is a real challenge for me to get right in my head.

These are all overt techniques. Subliminal techniques are still used if you are paying attention. For those that still consume traditional TV media you can sometimes spot these things. In 2021 I noticed yet another new car commercial running. After about the 2nd or 3rd instance of it I noticed a VERY short 1/2 second clip of a hand scooping chocolate ice cream out of a container between two jump shots of the car driving. I had never noticed that the first few times the commercial ran. I started deliberately watching this commercial each time and I only saw the version with the ice cream scoop once more, after that they changed the commercial so it no longer included this. Marketing groups pay close attention and will continue to make adjustments to ads after the campaign has started. You can sometimes notice ads changing through the campaign. Typically they seem to start changing the ad to be less polarizing if it's pushing some side-ideology auxiliary to the main product. And this is just good business, if you are trying to sell widgets you will sell fewer of them if your marketing campaign includes content that goes against the grain of half of the population. Unless your product strategy includes the ability to market the same product to the other half of the population of course (like having his and her's versions of a widget), then you can afford the consumer attrition on an individual widget.

You can also see a lot of co-branding of ideologies with commercial marketing campaigns and that's not an accident. There are very powerful international NGO's that are paid to market ideas rather than products and they specifically seek out partnerships with commercial businesses and their own marketing campaigns to sell products. They also partner with the media industry of course.

Now there's a hot take in light of the largest worker gains in decades, entirely because of unions, just in the last couple years.
It is essentially impossible for the Democrats to pass serious drug patent reform. Even if the senate Republicans don't filibuster just to prevent Democrats from appearing effective, there's enough Democrats that don't support it that it would be dead.

> Or do you also belive that the nordics is full of socialists?

Well, yes. Although the world is a lot more complicated than left vs right, the socialist parties have generally been the largest parties in Nordic countries, and the "conservative" parties do not rock the boat too much when they're in power. Because the voters wouldn't accept that.

> compared to the USA

It's a matter of taste and of values, but directly comparing these very different societies doesn't work well.

The unions "own" the government in the extent that they where tightly connected to the Socialist Democratic party that ruled Sweden for decades and are responsible for much of today's legislation. If you were a member of a union, they would on your behalf sign you up as a member of the Socialist Democratic party, until 1991.

So the unions are intertwined with the government in Nordic countries to an extent that is very unfamiliar to peopler from some other countries.

Another example is the government church in all the nordic countries, which is not much talked about, but indeed strange to people from other backgrounds.

Depends on what you call RISC, I guess: many people would argue that a load-store architecture is a required part of it, and the zero-page is actually an anti-thesis to that. In fact, it hints at the possibility of a memory-memory architecture (no general-purpose registers, minimal amounts of indexing/address registers). Implementations of such architecture could, of course, use whatever amount of hardware registers (unexposed in the instruction set itself) as a memory cache. Throw in some relaxed memory model, e.g. other cores don't see the memory stores via [STACK_REGISTER+offset] unless an explicit flush command is issued, and I imagine the end result will be quite nice to both use from the programmer's point of view (no register allocation!) and from the implementers point of view as well (register allocation is back, but now it's register- and memory-renaming, the latter being simplified by the lax memory model). One of the downsides is that the instruction encoding definitely won't be compact, with all those memory offsets instead of register numbers.
Would it be ok if you were upfront about the possibility of striking? That seems like a very achievable adaptation.
> the monomers for every single polymer in wide spread use show estrogenic activity

This is at least a bit silly. Ethylene is a gas, and it’s also a widespread, naturally occurring plant hormone. Propylene is also a gas. Lactic acid is a food and a widespread chemical produced by your body.
Lots of guessing here.

There is an exclusive contract between the Swedish state and the postal company. There is also a contract that forbids the plate manufacturer from sending plates by any other means than post.

Transportstyrelsen does not agree that the current strike counts as a force majeure. This is (essentially) what the court case is about. Lower court agreed with you and allowed them to pick up plates themselves but the appeal court repelled that decision earlier today.
How do you make Google Photos act as a sort-of-blog post?
A couple of things that really help...

Matrices isn't editable (sort of by design) and works best for columns that are all of the same type. It then uses arrow for fast in-memory analytics.

Google sheets has to serve a much broader array of use cases, so I think they can only do so much to improve the performance. It can't always rely on having consistent rows and columns.

It seems like a silly overcorrection to me.

I regularly get fake NXP chips even from the big distributors. Not going to name them here, but it happened at least with the ones starting with A, D and M. Their excuse is always the same: Telling us they just sourced other distributors because of shortage at the manufacturer, but won't name these "distributors". Really annoying.

In many countries, treatments are less expensive than the US (by orders of magnitude). The US somehow has health care costs that seem to be divorced from the underlying costs for time and/or raw materials. I still don't understand how this came to be, but that's the situation.

Random youtube and web searches can quickly find situations of Americans buying medicines in eg. northernish Europe. "I'm terribly sorry sir, but you don't have health insurance here, so you'll have to pay that in cash, out of pocket" , and they end up paying next-to-nothing anyway.

If the costs are a few zeros lower, the decision becomes a lot easier a lot of the time.

Afaict "death panels" don't exist outside the US political discourse. Everything else is Overton window (If someone lies hard enough: "Surely there must be a grain of truth!" But no.)

Question: Is the issue worker wages and benefits or is the issue not engaging with the union?

From the article:

IF Metall workers in Sweden – where Tesla doesn't manufacture vehicles but has a number of repair and service shops – have been on strike since October after what they described as years of Tesla refusing to bargain with the union. IF Metall-represented employees claim Tesla hasn't guaranteed them good wages, a pension or insurance.

From a translation of the IF Metall website:

The employees at Tesla deserve nice and safe working conditions, just like everyone else in the Swedish labor market. IF Metall has therefore negotiated with Tesla for a long time. Unfortunately, they have declined to sign collective agreements and thus violate basic principles in the Swedish labor market. Therefore, IF Metall has been striking since October 27 at Tesla's Swedish service points and workshops.
