That's because the ridiculous fees that credit cards have in the US which funds that for you. In EU the max cap for merchant fees using credit cards are 0.3% and 0.2% for debit cards. Just a quick search here in Sweden the "best o

The grouping is arbitrary made by some human or algorithm trying to make a pretty map. As said in the article, the locations on the graph are based on the answers to the world values survey [0]. I have no idea about how exact they are or bi

Neither has the system in Stockholm, and in the rest of Sweden it barely ticks the mark. For example in Skåne, a region with a population of 1.3 million currently 16 people are in ICU care from 6 days ago. In Swedish: https://www

More complicated than that. Northrop Grumman and EADS/Airbus in a joint bid won with a more capable platform, it was then redone due to Boeing protesting. In the redo Boeing won. Comparatively the A330 MRRT, which the first round winni

Removing all the subsidies and pricing in the external factors shows why nuclear is not even a consideration today. Comparing LCOE (Levelized cost of energy), solar $32-42, wind $28-54, nuclear 118$-192.[0] New construction of renewables ar

Same in Sweden, UK, parts of central Europe and large parts of eastern Europe. This includes everything from wild mushroom and berries to wild game. In the years right after even milk had increased radiation levels sometimes going beyond ac

Of course, that's the point of the account to share logins, you still get your own user with your own lists, recommendations and all that. Though, Spotify handles it nicer where you can add your own account to the family group plan. No

It also gives you 4 simultaneous users with the premium plan, which I would guess most families use simply based on that.

I think the numbers are within margin if you measure what actually matters; urbanization. The huge swaths of empty forests up north in Sweden makes the 5 times number look ridiculous but doesn't carry any meaning. Looking at urbanizati

From march 13th they stopped testing everyone suspected of corona and instead only test people seeking care with serious symptoms. [0] The metric the government agencies publicly communicate now is the number of people admitted to ICU per d

by Gwypaas 7y ago
Wasn't the government generally simply approving of more tests as long as it doesn't implicate the care? The push was launched by the main opposition party to be able to open the economy earlier.

by Gwypaas 7y ago
Not really, the data they communicate that they are basing their decisions on are the number being admitted to ICU per day. Which actually has been decreasing in Sweden and is a hard fact you can't deny. Since everyone really sick will

Because the government figured that contact tracing wouldn't contain the spread, it was already too far gone. Based on that it was better to reserve the tests available to those who actually need them.
914.
by Gwypaas 7y ago
Yes, from what the government agencies communicate they most closely look at the number being admitted to ICUs per day, which has actually been declining.
915.
by Gwypaas 7y ago
Sweden has since March 13th stopped testing except those who requires hospital care, so the numbers are not comparable in any way.

Who are these nefarious leaders? Mastercard? Visa? I have one of either to safeguard when abroad. The bank I choose to mainly use for 1€/month? The party in a proportional system I choose to vote for because I felt they were right and

I feel this is a futile stone to die over. It will never happen. Swede here, turning 27 now. When I was 13 (yes 2007) I got my own debit card which my parents deposited my "monthly" money/stipend in to allow me to build a sen

My, also not epidemiologist estimate, would be that the only way to have any measure on the spread today when comparing countries is the number of deaths per capita compared to the strain of the healthcare system. Add some factor for the me

European cars are also required to be able to change the angle of the lights. Even my super basic 2007 Skoda has it.

Nuclear reactors have a heat efficiency of ~33% so you need to dump the remaining somewhere. That is 66% of the heat energy remain after the turbine has removed the possible mechanical energy. Just an annoying factor of Carnot's Law. I

Yep, same in Sweden. Super easy to setup and you get a complete POS system with built in cash register and emailing of receipts just having a tablet and the card reader. Costs per transaction are higher but for really small scale the ease o

On the other hand basically no one pays for a phone landline anymore so I guess the cost is about equal to what it used to be? Though in Sweden the 2FA we tend to use is called BankId which is a standalone app only requiring an internet con

No point comparing aircraft taxing to cars. The taxiway is a very well defined environment with the tower controlling all movements. The only reason it isn't automated is because there's no monetary gain in doing so, the people yo

I think this is mostly the difference between American and EU regulation and enforcement. It seems like US institutions like to take a big player, make a huge case and then hope everyone else is scared enough to follow. In EU on the other h

Just to take Sweden as an example. For public companies with more than 25 employees the workers have the right to two members and two substitutes on the companies board. Usually these come from the union working with the company. The goal o

Today it's mitigated by the pilot. Runaway Stabilizer is a memory-item. [1] This is the same memory item Boeing thought would mitigate MCAS, since that is essentially a runaway stabilizer trim, although in retrospect behaving in a very

And paid by the state, not the company in question. Some companies have agreements to cover the difference to your regular salary and similar but that's only goodwill.

False equivalency with Europe where a lot of people skip cars in the metro regions because public transport actually works. For example in Stockholm 37.5%[0] of the people own cars while being the by far richest region in Sweden. [0]: http

The 777 is Fly-By-Wire so it never felt like anything other than what it was programmed to feel like.

Not really. The 777 has Fly-By-Wire controls with all the envelope protection and redundancies that comes with that. I.e. failing safely but step by step offering less protections to the pilot the more it fails, until you are down to the fe
