Lots of confusion about what a "migrant" is in this context and who is eligible for the compensation.

Here's the English language page about the repatriation compensation (currently 10,000 SEK):

https://www.migrationsverket.se/English/Private-individuals/...

----

You can apply for the grant if you have a temporary or permanent residence permit in Sweden

* as a refugee
* as a quota refugee
* as a person eligible for subsidiary protection
* on the grounds of exceptionally distressing circumstances
* or because of your connection to a person who has one of the residence permits listed above.
Meanwhile, generating heat with resistive heating is literally just the cost of wires.

And the electric current you need to run through them. Resistive heating has a COP of 1.0 by definition. A modern, cold climate, air source heat pump can achieve a COP of 4.0 or higher at temperatures down to -15C (5F). This means 1/4 the winter heating bill for heat pumps over resistive electric.

Where I live (Canada) the winter heating bills are far higher than the summer cooling bills, despite our humid summers with heat waves reaching 30C+ (86F) for weeks at a time.
Relatively speaking, Instagram and Twitter are far more interesting than LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a special kind of horrible.
That’s… not completely unexpected, right?
You are right.

Please note that strawberry-mimi is the model I was referring to.
Funny enough the OP’s post was quickly flagged and is now “dead”, sort of proving their point here too.
And just reality TV in general. His "Girls vs Boys" stunt is just a budget version of Big Brother, Survivor, etc.
In recent years, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various industries, and content creation is no exception. AI-generated content, once met with skepticism, is now proving to be a valuable asset for businesses, marketers, and creators alike.
I travel quite a bit and in most countries I'm required to show my passport to get a sim card. However, in several countries I've bought at least 4 or 5 sim cards by now (non tourist sims I mean) so there doesn't seem to be a limit on how many numbers you can have, they just want each number to be linked to a real person.

Of course it may be different in some countries, but it's worth checking to be sure.
> worse fuel efficiency

no, it's the opposite. Emission controls result in worse fuel efficiency.
Ah.. this reminds me of the couple weeks when I just finished my university and was a little bit lost about what I wanted to do with my life. I'd lost my motivation for programming, as years of university forced me to suppress my motivation due to it being too distracting for my studying. So... I just played video games in whatever free time I had after job.

One weekend I decided to make a simple rhythm game, just like "osu!". To not care about performance, to not care about code cleanliness. I called it "recreational programming", just like recreational drugs. It's just me and the problem at hand. After making a simple "Hello, World" application in Odin and Raylib I got to working. Used a music from another video game, mapped it in osu and then transcribed the rhythm into my game's hardcoded beatmap format. Then added some hitsounds I found on some site with free drum samples.

I published what I've done over those two days on github and you can look at some of my ugly "I don't care" code.

https://github.com/flysand7/rhythm-game/blob/main/main.odin

I gotta say though, this project might have saved me from another depressive episode. I don't think I will continue working on my game until I decide what I want this game to be beyond a broken taiko simulator. But regardless, I moved on and picked up some of my old projects I didn't have time to work on during university.
I am with you. YouTube does not offer math lectures about volume calculation. It advertises some fast food alike junk about insane things. And the 8 years old boys watch cartoons about chopped heads and how the dog plays with these heads. Afterwards I was happy, that I am luddite and YouTube is blocked at home and kids don’t have smartphones.
Should’ve quit cold turkey with the rest of us when they took 3rd party clients away.
>This is only true if people repeat it and believe it to be true.

Which they do.

Particularly, employers.
I don’t get why you get downvoted on this comment. Anyone buying from Amazon should realize they are buying from Temu in a trenchcoat, filling the pockets of an immoral man who treats his warehouse workers like chattel.

I have bought from amazon exactly once in four years now, because a vendor (a chinese one!) has Amazon as the only outlet where they provide warranty because they are plagued with counterfeits and bootleggers.

I find that fact for a chinese reseller so incredibly ironic. These guys are good people tho, bunch of gamers making the pinnacle of controllers for pc gaming with mouse clicker buttons and whatnot.

Yes, potentially, but my understanding by following this case and others is that the EU has no legislation on taxes other than non-discrimination. So there is no EU law to supercede Irish law.
The company's website:

Usually browsers automatically configure themselves according to the operating system language (I guess).
Car modders toss catalytic converters all the time too in states without emissions enforcement. It's just not a problem that is handled.

At one point I was working on a startup idea that would produce a piece of electronics for helping with drive train swaps. However, I realized that it would make it very easy to ignore all emission and safety requirements despite my efforts to prevent that. So I dropped the entire idea and moved on with my life. I don't want to unintentionally help other people make the planet worse.(But I also wanted people to reuse/recycle car parts more effectively. Oh well.)
That is probably the default message for anything that was flagged.
Don't forget motorcycles!
Excellent. Get in to get welfare, get out to get even more welfare. And all this at taxpayer's expense.

Incredible how people are complacent with that.

Sometimes the mere act of support looking at your account triggers backend sanity checks and automated fixes which only exist in the support tool.

Low chance but with millions of users you might have been a lucky one.

Yeah your car might get 210 HP rather than 212. It's not the 70s anymore.
I know it's small, but want to point out another thing Amazon bait and switched (not exactly related to your comment, but I guess it needs to be shared). We ordered Amazon Kids tablets few years back (they're actually awesome and super well-priced for 3rd-world regions) and had them shipped overseas, linked to my Amazon account, etc, all working fine.

Then after some update to the "Amazon Family Parents Centre" App, they moved all parental access control off the device itself, and onto an "app" or "website". Not only that, but they blocked access to this website to anyone not in the USA region. So now, it's impossible to make any parental changes to these devices for the kids' accounts. They essentially bricked my two, and who knows how many hundreds of thousands of Amazon Kids tablets, for anyone not blessed to have any means of setting an American address into your Amazon account.

The support people knew about this problem, were very helpful and did their darnedest to help me bypass this restriction within the realm of what they're allowed to do and say. But the end-result was basically: You need a US-based address, or phone number and to change your billing address to this USA region. I kindly told them to give feedback on their ticket/system/team-lead/whatever, and then gave up. Devices are useless now, and next purchase will be for something way more open or, at the very least, not subject to stupid region-locking rules that I thought we moved away from 15 years ago.
idk $34 billion in annual global card fraud is also a little nuts.
What do these "emissions defeat" devices do? Are they to make the engine produce more power, or to be able to pass emissions testing (like how VW try to make their cars seem less poluting by detecting whether or not the engine was under test and altering engine behavior)?
Given that diesels emit particulates and nox as well as co2, I'll note it's theoretically possible to tune them in a way that increases efficiency at the cost of other pollutants. I've no idea what the actual devices sold do, though.
Note that Zwarte Piet ("Black Pete", literally Santa's little helper, a black character) is a children's Christmas tradition and Pim Fortuyn was assassinated 22 years ago.
Depends on what the owner wants. The ones that are rolling coal are removing all the filters then deliberately running their engine rich. The black smoke is literally unburnt diesel. Obviously when you're spraying huge clouds of diesel, your fuel efficiency is going to go down.
> not a company as reputable as Apple, yes?

Definitely not, in fact rather the opposite. I was just sharing the anecdote as a counter to the otherwise fairly blanket claims being made upstream.
My acquaintance managed to sneak in multiple times, “losing” their passport if caught, then pretending not to understand fingerprinting instructions and smudging them on purpose until the police gave up. With face biometrics probably won’t work today. Just saying that a stamp in a passport is necessary a full proof solution.
I am undeniably Transhuman, and in fact I've been Transhuman since early childhood, and any professional who deals with people like me needs to understand the unique aspects of a Transhuman experience before passing judgement or pathologizing it.

I relate extremely well to computers and machines. I am intimately connected to them with flawed interfacing. But machines and I understand one another much better than humans or animals or meat-based life forms.

I've endured quite ridiculous situations due to older folks, even young people, who can't discern or accept Transhumans (I should just start claiming ASD) and my life is that of Pinocchio.

But Transhumanism is here to stay. It's already pervasive. The rest of us need to adapt or lose.

How easy is this process? Are all banks required to provide such a service? How about countries outside the USA
I want to see MS getting themselves banned from their own platform, for discussing their own browser there.
> In the first available country of safe refuge because you're fleeing political persecution or war? Yeah, I'd say that's 100% legal and moral. That's how you get from Syria to Turkiye.

Is it moral to put the burden on a random country (Turkey in this case) just because it happens to border a country at war? Why shouldn't the huge economic costs be spread out more evenly?
You're definitely not in mortal danger as a SWE, but FWIW, I've witnessed (2nd hand) datacenter servers literally catch on fire and entire datacenters go out because a critter got crispified on some power lines. Sometimes "the server's on fire" is metaphorical and sometimes it's literal. In the latter case, at least you can get some interesting pictures of the aftermath.
Cancel culture taken to the dystopian limit. Can’t say anything - if you do, one of the million bots will ban you for it from somewhere.
The sheer number of compromised devices does. Sure you can trap users with malicious streams and malicious apps. But I find it surprising, that those actions alone can catch so many boxes.

What makes you think you will die alone? I know many that have said that and have had late life turn around, but a big part of it is just being ok with yourself. The good, the bad, everything in between. The marbled reality that is you. To be like the trees that curve and twist and bend, flourish in one spot but drop leaves and branches in another.

It is not easy but it can be done. While the wake of the past can be turbulent, it is just that in the past. You can be aware of it, moved by it but remember you are the boat now that makes the wake. Don't deny the past, merely accept it as something that has happened, it does not need to dominate the time that you have.

Also seeing a therapist/counseling can be very helpful in this. Don't try to do this alone even if it can be difficult to bring yourself to do it! The anxiety of what it is like is far stronger than the actual event.
This was sadly seen at the Paris Olympics. The village didn't have A/C for so-called environmental reasons, and teams from rich countries dragged portable units in because they (reasonably) did not accept the facilities provided.

It's one of those things that chips away at one's beliefs about the human spirit.
As someone who works in a hard-tech startup, where daily standups in production manufacturing teams are part of the daily culture.

1) Anything longer than 15 minutes is insane
2) What do you even talk about for an hour?
3) Why do you even do standups for design work? What "blockers" could you possibly have that require daily, 15 minute tagups with the entire crew?

> What if your domain registrar is the one to cut you off

Compared with your chances with getting back google account (unless you know someone inside and still not guarantee it will work) you have many actions that you can take. Talk to your registrar support and try to work things out and even ask for transfer. If they don't respond or don't help you then you can complain with ICAAN and even take them to court.
Those are some ICBM-level precisions bro. How many centimeters wide is your court?

It is the result of most of the content on the site being posted by people who’d use LinkedIn while they weren’t, like, actively looking for a job.
If it helps, Reddit outside of the niche or rare well-moderated subs is detestable; a wasteland of bots and ads and partisan nonsense.

Even on the science subs, no one cares about your older comments or the age of your account, except to pull things out of it to try and doxx you or invalidate your opinions.

You can make another account on a VPN and still get the same upvotes, still reach the same eyeballs, get the same feedback and motivation boost. 'Followers' don't matter, real relationships do.

It might even be good to have a fresh account in some unexpected ways. Or not - because fuck that place. Like you said, you'll always be at the mercy of admins who have made it very clear how they feel about users.

Best of luck with the book.
Were you expecting to monitor the cameras over the Internet without an Internet connection? This reads like you were expecting the cameras to have built in LTE without some kind of subscription.
But LinkedIn wasn't like that 10 years ago. It was what it was meant to be. To me it feels like TikTok culture infesting all types of social media.

At this point LI is beyond saving but a serious competitor would have to be heavily moderated to stay clean which we all know won't happen.

Lol. Hustle shops pay less and there are more hours. It is not exploitation, but usually there are better gigs. Finance is probably an exception where you know those long hours will be rewarded one day either in the current gig or another future one.
Again, you're failing to engage with the comments here in exactly the way that the comments were complaining about. Your insights are factually incorrect and your comments say more about you than they do about Enron.

The Enron scandal took place over nearly a 10 year period. The company was weird but likely not illegal for probably half that, most of even senior leadership appeared to be in the dark about the actual fraud (willingly or otherwise) until probably a few years left. They only started shredding evidence with weeks left. This is a 20k person company, no matter how you slice it that many people aren't committing a large conspiracy together and to suggest otherwise is ludicrous.
Can't wait to see what the almighty AI thinks about the Tits problem![1]

Or the Tits group[2] (I swear, I'm not a member!).

Very tempted to include Tits Alternative[3] as one of my interests on LinkedIn, but I'm afraid the result will be too predictable.

Side note: The two groups that don't satisfy the Tits Alternative are very dear to my heart. Writing software to do computation in Thompson's Group and its generalizations[4] was my introduction to geometric group theory. And I ended up with Grigorchuk as my graduate advisor after learning about the Grigorchuk group.

I think you’re misrepresenting my question.

Mr Beast’s “youtube success hacking”, or whatever you want to call it, excels in the most obvious of ways: use hyperbole all of the time and use extreme and borderline misanthropic interpersonal interaction to achieve goals.

I don’t think either of these activities would surprise anyone at achieving success in _some_ form, despite how manipulative and sociopathic they are. What exactly is to be learned here? Where is the deep understanding?

People click on things that are hyperbolic. When people are threatened with losing their jobs unless they perform at an extremely high level, they will work to the best of their ability to achieve that level, at the expense of practically everything else they value in their lives. None of this is new or novel.

Most people avoid employing these structures because they’re viciously misanthropic and cynical. Some, of course, do, but I don’t see us using that information to ignore them or prevent them from existing. I just see them lauded for “thinking outside the box” on Hacker News.
You don't understand. In this culture if you have enough money no does not mean no. You have less laws to care about. In some cases you ARE the law.
> from the party that "began as a neo-Nazi movement in the 1980s

Good find. By the same token though, the Democratic Party in US was the white supremacist party in the 19th century. There is probably ideological demagoguery involved with them as well.
Can't agree more. 10 years ago I looked up transformers uploaded to YouTube, and they couldn't stand the nostalgia test. Plots are primitive, characters are flat. It made me actually recall that by 13 years, I started feeling little embarrassment watching them because of thqe plot itself.

Apart from that, what surprised me was that it had vibes of 1950s: watercolor still images, and the music score not with analog synths (that we'd expect from the '80-s), but a (small) orchestra with TRUMPETS leading. (This was the biggest '50s factor for me.)
Actually I realized I totally forgot a crucial detail. I run my other profile using Firefox Beta, so they really are separate applications. I assume that would fully explain why they behave separately. Sorry about that.

Will have to test using multiple profiles using the same executable.

However, if the same "trick" works on Linux, perhaps it could be exploited by Firefox creating a separate executable that launches a specific profile.

We do that with our application, using the "self-extracting zip trick", ie appending data to the executable that is read during start-up.
I wonder if it's including indoor courts?
hn is not optimized (thank good) and didn’t change in forever. There is also no monetizing, it doesn’t have ads nor subscription, and if it were more popular it would be more expensive to host.

This is what we call a cult.
Absolutely, which is saying a lot given Twitter's current state.

But most employers won't be looking you up on Instagram or Twitter, unless you're in the type of work where they need to make sure your socials are sufficiently 'clean'.
Simple: tell them to follow the fire exit signs.
I agree with you but please don't throw the term fascism left and right to refer to things you disagree with. The word's meaning is already twisted and diluted to the point of uselessness.

Show HN: Generate YouTube Scripts (From Ramblings)
When covid hit, I was forced to close my recording studio. At that time my primary source of income and occupation.

So, I picked up coding and started a YouTube channel, to fill all the time I suddenly had.

But, whenever I wanted to record a video for my YouTube channel, I completely drew a blank. Turns out most YouTubers write scripts to structure their thoughts and ideas before hitting the record button. This is time consuming and creating well crafted scripts can take many hours and sometimes days. I thought: There must be a better way.

This is when, I came up with a process that I turned into ScriptFast: A web app that uses AI to structure ramblings about a topic into a well written and structured YouTube script.

You can try it out for free and kick off your YouTube career ;)

Let me know what you think about it.
All the more reason to make the jump out of a purely technical role, in my opinion
