It used to be that you didn't get any sick income the first day to prevent frivolous usage, this was changed back in March. Now it is 80% for a year, you need a doctor's note after three weeks. This used to be one week but to limi

No real point in comparing case counts at such different times though. The previous peak was right when tests finally had opened up for essentially everyone in the Stockholm and some other regions starting from the first week of June. Previ

I really wonder what GDP really means in todays world when money is "free" and there are no limits on government spending. For example Denmark had less bankruptcies than previous years back in March and April. Looking at governmen

It shows that "okay" measures against COVID are strong enough to push the R_eff value for those viruses well below 1, unless something extraordinary happens. I.e. no extra strain for medical services. As said, this hinges on socia

This is simply basic differences between how different justice systems operate. He was as formally charged as you get in Sweden until the investigation was dropped, only using different words. Assange was arrested in his absence and wanted

Completely agree with you. Just pointing out that the idea that I guess many technically minded people come across actually exists, although in a completely different environment. In contrast to oceans there's 600 km by air from St. Pe

It has some merit. Sweden built an entire system based on road bases to deter any invasion attempts from the Soviets, including aircraft able to operate out of them. Still happen upon them to this day, just notice the road get straighter an

The difference would be that the same iPhone has access to Taylor Swift through Spotify, Apple Music, Play Music (does that even exist anymore?) and so on. Put the app store on the same level of competition and level the playing field of Sp

So reducing the commission from 30% to something more reasonable by having competing app stores would harm the consumer? If the underlying structures wouldn't change it would be a smaller pile of cash more parties share. On the other h

I would call those platforms much more symbiotic in their existance. Also considering if they win this much more clear cut case, then they or someone else would try to apply it to those markets.

Prefacing this with that I'm just a layman so this is just an interesting discussion for me. Looking at the Wikipedia page and the requirements for standing the way Epic is doing this looks at least for me much more in line with the gi

To sue they need to have standing, simply asking and getting a no and then carrying on accepting the old standard won't get you anywhere.

Europe is already essentially running on 3D Secure with 2FA. Becomes noticeable when buying from stores not having the EU as a significant market, usually American, which does not implement it. After the transaction is declined I'm for

That's only issues because you choose them to be issues since there's no central constitutionally guaranteed process. Most first-world countries simply require a polling location with certain number of booths per X people, require

Same in Sweden, essentially starting in second grade for me. Thinking back on it I now see how thought out it was. The clock facing the school yard which everything depended on. In second and third grade every time it was PE, shop class or

I feel this is the consequence of the American style no responsibilities system. Why on earth should an 18 year old high school senior need a hall-pass to go to the restroom? Signed a Swede who spent an exchange year in Texan upper middle c

This feels like such an American solution. If everyone just does this one magic thing then life will continue on as usual. First it was hydroxychloroquine, then a lock-down and now masks. Masks worn correctly limits spread, but it's ju

I would mainly say less standardized and less regulated. Big vessels already require pilots in and out of ports because the crew isn't trusted. Then essentially every single ship is a custom build with all the years of problems to iron

Rather little, and with district heating it's a non-issue. You can make it a "plus house", producing more energy than what it consumes using solar panels. My point rather was that living in a really old badly insulated house
