> Anti Elon, anti American sentiment?

I don't think so. It's a cultural thing: Sweden, and the Nordic countries more generally, have a strong cultural heritage of unions representing the interests of workers. There are elements of protection not included in law - for example minimum wage - that are instead covered by union protection.

Tesla has taken a position that it will not sign up to collective bargaining globally - and so won't engage with the unions on it. That creates a fissure: a difference in policy.

So it's not anti-American. It's a refusal to accept the terms on which a corporation wants to engage. A similar situation happened with Klarna and Spotify as others have pointed out.

It might verge on anti-Musk, but only because this kind of thing is in "red rag to a bull" territory for him. He is utterly recalcitrant generally: backing down isn't in his nature. It would seem that has only stiffened the resolve of the Nordic workers and unions.

But even then it's equally valid to see Musk as "Anti-Sweden": unwilling to respect cultural norms in a country he wants his company to operate in.
Double Standards
I'm definitely an Old (53) but I love a good game, and tend to enjoy RPG type games, so I have BG3 on my radar -- but the reviews make me think I might not enjoy it AT ALL.
It's written in jest, it's more of an observation of what seems to be taking place rather than how individuals feel.
What apparently a lot of commenters don’t know is that in Sweden a lot of things that in other countries are regulated by laws are regulate by agreements between the unions and corresponding organisations for the employers. This an order that both parties prefer, instead of legislations that none of them might be happy with.

It has been like this in Sweden since 1938 (if I remember correctly), and it is unlikely that any American company will be allowed to come in and change that order. I think the last one that tried and failed was Amazon, and before that Toys R Us.
Looks like x.co has a minimum asking price of 1 million USD. I wonder who this offer is directed towards ;)

That they're going to make a ton of stupid company names and it's their company-name umbrella dad-joke used for tax and legal purposes?

We didn't just all get the memo that that's the joke?
Your experience is your experience. You don't like the game, that's fine.

I will say two things - BG3 today is a substantially better game compared to release day in August. Better performance and fewer bugs. Not perfect, but excellent. I have no doubt they'll keep improving the game so it'll get even better in a couple months.

And second, it's ok not to succeed on dice rolls. It's just a different path you're taking. It may feel like you're losing out on completing the whole game, but you're not. In fact, you're missing out on a path whether you succeed the roll or not.

But if it really matters to you, do what I did. I picked a bard who's excellent at persuasion and lock picking. To top it off I got the amulet that allows the wearer to cast the Guidance cantrip (adds 1d4 to all rolls). I basically never lose a roll and if I do, I usually have Inspirations that allow me to re-roll. That might be closer to the experience you're looking for.
There costs are lower…for now. Do you think Microsoft is going to subsidize them forever?
In the US, wages, vacation, healthcare, pension plans and care for the elderly are private arrangements set up by everyone individually (technically). The Nordic model is a collective arrangement, where safety nets are provided by the government, benefits are governed by law and compensation is governed by collective agreements between unions and employers.

Most families would provide for their own if it was required, but it's not a scenario most people ever need to consider, even as a backup, as bad luck alone can't put you in that situation, you'd need to actively seek it out.
Its insane how brazen this is. Code that 'bricks' the train locomotive if its gps coordinates remain with bounds of a competing repair facility for more than ten days! This is way beyond putting information barriers to repair, like undocumented interfaces or even crypto-signed firmware. This is actively malicious destruction of property. I don't know anything about the legal system in Poland, but I can't imagine how this gets by.
I played it a second time after the patch and still found the characters too sexual. Sure, at the beginning everyone was awkwardly horny, but even afterward, I still I got quite some unwanted attention from most companions. It felt a bit like taking the worst parts of owlcat’s romances in WotR where you accidentally romance some of them, and apply it to everyone.
I, too, have been "patient" but for me it's more driven by not having time to get around to playing ____ for a while. I really DO enjoy paying $20 instead of $60, though!
> We say "voters" when we mean their representatives too

Not to say that this kind of decision tends to be non-biding and decided by vote. So all the influences the representatives have is deciding what vote to call; it's the workers casting the votes and deciding to follow them.

Saying the workers are doing it is more than fair.
The keyword to search is "HTOA" ("Hidden Track One Audio"):

https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=HTOA

I think you also need to find CD/DVD drive which can extract HTOA, not all drives can do it. There were lists (one of them is linked in Hydrogenaudio article), but I think those are severely outdated now.
Artificial Intelligence Imagines the Future Of
If an individual did this, they'd go to prison.
Yeah, I think I need to give it another chance at some point. There's just so many games and so little time. :) I'm having a blast with RoR Returns right now, and that requires 0 investment to get going.
I'm sure that's part of it. But a clear eyed reading of their own religious beliefs and proclamations shows that they are also quite intent on converting the entire world over to their religion or else slaughtering. I'm not sure your suggestion is enough. How would you encourage the hard line believers (also most likely to become terrorists) to abandon that belief system?

I'll note that part of their complaint is also that we export our culture via economic methods. Would you also withdraw from all interaction with areas they currently control including humanitarian and immmigration? This would prevent people of that cultural heritage who live here from sending aid to those societies legally. And this only barely touches on just how complicated this all is. The discourse around much of all of this is full of motivated thinking on both sides and a massive amount of oversimplification of the problem.
We could call it The Premature Abstraction Anti-pattern :)

Been a victim of this myself a few times myself so I normally do exactly what you've suggested and wait until a clear, and still performant abstraction has emerged from the code and slowly refactor-in the abstraction. But it's always better to do this on a nearly completed codebase, so at the end, where you should naturally be looking to remove lines, not add.
but ppl can install alternative stores, no? ther's the huawei one too and the open source store, I forgot the name
Happy to read how much better it is than the Fairphone 2. I had one when they first came out but I got rid of it after 1.5 years and bought a Pixel 2 (which I am still using currently and looking to replace with a new Fairphone ironically) because it was so slow, oversized and seemingly cheaply made.
Or just run an era-appropriate macos.
He got us super heavy lift orbital rockets, I'm not complaining.
Really good game, I would give it an 8/10. But the fact that it's considered a 'masterpiece' is more of an indictment to the industry at its current state rather than saying much about the quality of the game itself. I had a lot of gripes:

1. Last act was mostly a chore

2. The plot was a mess, you don't have to tie everything into a single path ending up having to come up with ridiculous shenanigans. Also they threw every part of Forgotten Realms lore into a melting pot.

3. The writing was quite disappointing most of the time as well. I can't stand characters in a medieval setting saying "Wow" multiple times in a row or "f*ck" and acting like emotionally stunted teenagers. Also the fact that every companion wanted to have sex with my avatar for no reason was very annoying.

4. Even though it's praised for its polish, it has a LOT of bugs. Some of them game breaking or locking you out of storylines/options.

Mind you, BG2 is my favorite game of all time.
I think Hetzner asks for a real ID and address proof when you create an account. So, may be if a user could provide a change of address proof, then they might be able to save their account..
I think there is promise with tons of optimization problems (machine learning, approximating differential equations). I hope these would be significantly faster in practice.

It would be cool if we had quantum accelerated game physics engines. Super realistic games that are fast.

Simulations could scale better, so we could make them a lot more useful.
Because this software is not made by software engineers, it's made by plc programmers, electric circuit designers and whoever did drift into the field.

Except for beckhoff to tc3 they haven't made it to object orientation yet, so the field is stuck as a whole in the blue screen mines of yore. Managing complexity with thin standard docs, no version control while the machines grow ever more complex sensor and actuator wise..

You can not treat modern machines like small embedded hobby devices - but the industry does.

Some outside-programmers make good money coming in and solving these yesterday's problems with proper software architecture and good c development practices. But the industries doesn't learn from this. Making software will forever not be a profession for them.
I'm all for free and open source software, but what would you suggest here? That train operators will download code from the internet and install it on their trains?
Some of the "conspiracy theories" not worth discussing here, will turn out to have real world consequences. The politics of "wishing will make it so" and "disagreement equals Evil" are burning the last of their capital.
Someone mentioned previously that guassian splats are ideal extension of Ai image generation into 3d and they might have turned out correct
Ouch, that sucks. But you may well have cause to go after whoever sold you that bill of goods. Props to you for how you handled it, I hope it wasn't too much money. Over the years I've become more and more conservative as an investor, in part on account of stories like yours. If it's a REIT I want to see an assets list. Note that the fact that it is 'all gone' may well be an indication that you are being defrauded, it's not 'gone' nor is the asset manager off the hook. So I'd definitely look into recovery options and if you are the only one or one of a few to do that there is some chance you'll see some of your money back. Best of luck!!
There seems to be no need for ZIP. There seems to be no need for PDFs in it. Everything that is in PDF most likely could be presented by webpage/HTML/etc. Therefore yes, I complain that the files are compressed.

The need of downloading anything might be the point of that game, but people spreading viruses also like playing that way.
They really should add anchors on that page, this is not the first time this problem has come up.
They're normal sized boards fwiw.
That's actually surprisingly cheap. I used to be at a 4 letter .com and we paid over $1mil for it in 2015 back when domains were still worth something.
>You don't achieve anything by asking "why should I trust them?"

They didn't ask that.

They said "Why should I use an email address to log into the system?" (rhetorical) and then gave an example of a service that also needs to verify the user has paid for the service (VPN), but does so without requiring accounts/in a more privacy-preserving way (Mullvad).
Google is selling ads - their search is designed to show you whatever will push more ads. They not only have no incentive to hide SEO nonsense if it has advertising, they are clearly breaking search to push more advertising in the results.

So I suppose the answer is that Kagi (and DDG, and Neeva-RIP) has (or have) no incentive to include spam, while Google is heavily incentivized to not only show it, but to make it appealing and promote it.
A lot of it comes down to the mental models of Unions - they're very different depending on the country you work in. A lot of people just can't believe a system with powerful Unions can be a good non-corrupt system for employees and employers.
Much like detecting if their cars was setup in an emissions testing scenario and changing the engine behaviour.

Anybody notice that all of the word choices in the headline make this sound particularly dark and ominous?

Wouldn't a more accurate headline be something like "Here is the math behind how France's fraud detection system works"?
It's all murky because the reporting is done in a biased manner. Tesla has service centers and point of sales in Sweden. Sweden has no minimum wage because everything is driven by CBAs (they even lobbied to CBA supported unions from minimum wage rule of EU). About 130 mechanics from Tesla went on strike because Musk refused to sign a CBA. Tesla says 90% are working, unions say 50% are on strike. The other worker unions went on a sympathy strike in support of the mechanics. That includes dock workers for loading and unloading, postal workers for plates, and metal bashers.

This headline is out of context. From what I read, postal workers striking said that Tesla should not be allowed to collect plates themselves because it's a job of union workers. Tesla went to court and got an early judgement (that they can collect) while the case goes on. Don't really understand if they really went to courts to force postal workers to deliver and I think it's unlikely as the law is pretty clear.

The larger context is Gigafactory in Berlin. The workers in nordic region are trying to encourage them to form a union. This strike does not really hurt Tesla that much, but if there is a strike in berlin, they would not be able to manufacture any car for the region. This also explains tesla's stance. They cave here, and will have to cave in Berlin too.

The key player in this regard is IG Metall, the one most aggressively pushing workers to unionize on the entire continent.

What I said and more can be found here: https://www.ft.com/content/d9317830-3b1d-4c03-9a8e-bb2073a84... Good context, but FT too reckons that tesla should accept the union and CBA, so take it as you will.
Where do your ideas that there are no consequences for what you say come from?
>The union doesn't force anyone, it's a collective action, the workers are the union, they've decided to not deliver to Tesla because Tesla is infringing on the most fundamental labour right in Sweden.

That's a strange way of putting it. Is the us federal government notification not "forcing" anyone to pay taxes, or not smoke weed, because the us is a democracy and therefore it's "collective action"?
1 month to migrate is pretty dire.

I would hope that they at least offer some kind of "pay for a year up front" kind of deal so that you can actually plan a migration.

Quiet reminder that the actions of politicians and the actions of businesses/people - while not mutually exclusive - are usually quite disparate.

I do feel for the citizens and business that do not endorse Russian aggression who: by accident of birth, find themselves on the wrong side of history.

I also feel for any ops who may have to do a painful migration over Christmas due to this.

That notion of course does not to take anything away from the victims of the Russian invasion; which is many orders of magnitude worse of course.

EDIT: Downvoted because why?
Ah, there is still a lot of room for improvement. People talk a lot about a definitive edition, which should fix the plot holes. They did this before with Divinity 2. And they are definitely already doing it for BG3 on the patches. Mol has more space on the latest patch, and the whole added Epilogue chapter signals that Larian is still up to adding more content to the game. Let's wait for the extra content. I expect some DLCs in the future as well.
You didn't try Armored Core?
Yes, the reason this escalated was they brought in strike breakers
Wired has a good review of the Fairphone 5 including camera performance here: https://www.wired.com/review/fairphone-5/
That's an excellent summary!
my asus zenfone 6 was a really great phone, but all updates stopped after just 2 years. It still has plenty of power, but due to not getting security updates since 2021 i feel i have to upgrade. getting the fairphone soon.

it's really crazy how wasteful we're being with electronics in general. my old work laptop became unusable with windows 10, just extremely sluggish for even simple tasks. putting linux on it, its working great again (in fact writing this comment on it right now.)
I wish we could put more focus on performance in the more mainstream products, but at least there's FOSS for people like me. can't wait until i can put an alpine linux on my phone someday.
I can't comment on the competence (or otherwise) of the Galaxy Store review process, but charging up-front for a mobile app is nearly always a mistake. You'll nearly always do better with a "free" app and one or more in-app purchases to unlock the full functionality, even if the "free" version is a very limited demo.

I know that some people are instinctively repulsed by such a model, but there are good reasons why users prefer it. There is real value in being able to install an app, see that it actually runs on your device, explore the interface and perhaps try some of the features before actually paying anything. Most app stores do have refund policies that amount to a free trial, but there's a big psychological difference between trying an app for free and paying for an app that you can get a full refund on (subject to terms and conditions).
An organisation that is prepared to write "sabotage" software would have no problem deploying software that is different to the software they submit.
Exactly what I immediately thought of as well.

Basically nobody cares. Vulnerability researchers don't use GPG either.
I personally like brand names that _look_ like they could be words, but aren't like Spotify, Twitter, Monzo, Reddit, Google etc.

Believe they need to be short and easy to Google even if you don't know how to spell them (not saying the above brand names are perfect). Find it annoying hearing Xero having to be spelt out on the radio to stop people going to zero.com.

Not particularly a fan of combining two English words together like Facebook, Freetrade, GitHub etc. but the worst is when companies try to own a common word like Apple.
It's insane to voluntarily colonize your body with a virtually untested genetically engineered bacteria. The article claims it occurs naturally but they have no good data on its natural prevalence and they added two additional mutations to the natural strain they found.

Even if it's safe, is it effective? The only way to tell is to enroll the people who are colonized in a long-running study. Are they doing that?
that would require a lot of extra work -

* tcpip stack in the OS

* nic and driver

* homebrew web server assuming the OS doesn't have the compatible APIs to support those open source ones
Sometimes low-tech is just better. Here in Finland we got Sr1 electric trains from the Soviet Union in the 70's, and after some renovations the model is likely to stay in use at least until 2030.
Probably because on December 7 a higher court "Hovratten" stayed earlier court's order and the transport agency is still not forced to deliver the plates. Final decision has not been taken.

I actually really liked Google podcasts. It had a rough start but after a few years of polish the only complaint I have is there's no episode search capability within a series.
That does sound like unreasonable extrapolation; I'd be very suspicious of _any_ prediction that _anyone_ makes about consumer behaviour in 2030, because the track record for attempting to make long-term predictions about consumer behaviour is... not great.

At least in this country (Ireland) restaurants seem to be, if anything, fuller than they were before covid; deliveries are definitely more of a thing than they used to be, but no apparent evidence that people are giving up on going out.
This is a significant omission from the article.

The other part is how do you really measure efficacy of these systems? Unless you did some secret shopping, which in this case would be paying people to defraud public services occasionally, how would you really know how effective these systems were at reducing fraud costs to public services?
expression eval for numeric fields is a good one.
Unions offer a lot of support to individuals that mean you don't need to save as much of a safety net for yourself. The most obvious one is unemployment insurance, I get 80% of my salary for 12 months if I lose my job until I find a new one which the Union will support. They also provide me with beneficial mortgage rates because I'm financially more secure with that insurance.
Especially for US investors I suspect. That this is legal and seems to be at least partially government led, is absolutely mind boggling to me.
It helps that Baldur’s Gate 3 is the safest way to get laid (or even married) in 2023. I found those romantic quest lines quite satisfying.

Even without the sex and romance, I would rank it as the best single player gaming experience for me, since Arkham Asylum.
The Pro plan is unlimited, though. It used to be capped until earlier this year.
I hope this is not going to be a massive hit for them financially -- I like Hetzner.
On the flip side they might have some cheap 'server auction' on the block soon, I've been pondering a cross/upgrade for a little while already :-)
While this is a valid preference, I think it may be a rather unusual one; people tend to like going out.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I trust my unzip utility and my pdf viewer just as much as I trust my browser.

I might have agreed with you 15 years ago, back in the age of antivirus and such.
To me, Divinity 2 felt like the "every fight devolves into a sea of necrofire" game. There are people online who make ridiculous builds and seemingly do 100x the damage I'm able to, but I found the combat to be inscrutable.
I don't know where "you hate PKI" comes from. Certainly I dislike X.509! It's a terrible protocol/format, and I doubt even its own designers would repeat the mistake. But I use the WebPKI, and have spent most of my time on HN talking about it defending it.

I'm pretty comfortable with who does and doesn't take me seriously, for what it's worth. You don't have to if you don't want to.
Why? They pay taxes. They pay shipping. Why do you also have to pay extortion fees?
