Nope, we have a much higher capital gains tax (and a progressive income tax) with a much smaller exemption, at least in Scandinavia.

I really doubt FIRE is popular enough for them to matter in practice. I suspect very few can stand pinching pennies for the 10-25 years it takes to save up the capital.

Most people nowadays carry very little (if any) cash. However, I really doubt it would be a problem to find someone to buy food for you if you give them cash.

You don't need to be a Swede to get bankid, but you do need a national registration number which you can apply for if you intend to live in Sweden for something like a year or more. In other words, if you live in Sweden you'll lik

Life years gained is the measure you're talking about, and that's definitely a good measure to take into consideration.

Seems unlikely, if that was the case then wouldn't you expect such things to be much more common in largely secular countries than the US?

No developer metrics are great, especially not if devs are incentivized to game them. However, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there's a correlation between good developers and those metrics.

I assume you've never conducted interviews, am I correct? There are so many "developers" out there that simply can't code, regardless of what their CV or education says. 15 years experience with Java development as a sen

The problem with talking about previous projects is that it can be hard to tell whether the candidate was an important contributor to the project or just a subpar developer making the changes (s)he's told to do by more knowledgeable te

Presumably the same thing that happens in most normal robberies; the robber gets the item but gets reported to the police. Presumably the delivery robots have cameras, making it easier to identify the criminal.

Is that supposed to be a joke? DotA doesn't rely on reflexes nearly enough for that to matter.

12% sugar isn't that bad given that you don't use much. Messmör, on the other hand, is something that should be avoided.

In many of those it's just used as an amplifier. If you can remove the "fuck" and the sentence still makes sense, then it's not really doing anything.

The award is only open for kids aged 13 to 18, so it's hardly surprising.

I suppose you just wanted to complain, but in case you're serious: interviews and code reviews fulfill entirely different purposes. Choosing the right data structure may or may not be over-engineering, it depends on the application. Go

Which other countries are you talking about? European countries are, afaik, required to show a comparison price. I'm more surprised there are developed countries that do not require it.

His point is that Google isn't a monopoly from the user side. What if Google started offering the ability for websites to pay to increase their pagerank?

As a Swede I have little issue understanding Norwegian, but I would absolutely not claim I speak it. Yes, the languages are similar enough that we can understand each other, but no Scandinavian will be able to speak another Scandinavian lan

I'm not sure if I'm misreading something, but are you claiming that higher IQ does not correlate with higher income? You'll have to source that claim, if that's what you're claiming.

Too much effort required to maintain, interview would takr too long and good candidates may turn it down because they don't want to work for free.
