It isn't just IF Metall vs Tesla in practice. The result of this whole thing will impact Swedish labor standards as a whole by setting a critical precedent for both companies and unions. I'm not part of IF Metall, but also not nai

I'm getting a similar thing while logged in, only it gives me context by telling me my watch history is off in place of showing any videos. I like it; I generally go to YouTube to search for or watch something very specific, but am eas

As an EU citizen, yes I feel well-served. Having been burned by companies refusing to delete my personal information before when trying to close accounts, I appreciate having some regulations and basic rights in this respect. I also feel sa

I'm not really interested in the meme part, more just looking for the specific instances of this happening. It doesn't seem like anything in your quote is an example of movie-goers being told they are obliged to like a movie becau

I've lived in four countries in all and am currently in Sweden. It's cold here too, but so many people exercise regularly in all seasons both inside and out. I believe this is also helped by the fact that it's very common for

I don't know much about cars, but I seem to see lots of non-Tesla electric vehicles around Stockholm and Gothenburg to the point where anecdotally Tesla seems just a drop in the bucket of extensive options. I see Polestar, Kia, Nio, an

Not EM but I was made a team lead of a small team. I still got to write code, but was also to delegate tasks to other team mates, hold 1-1s, sit in more "management-y" planning meetings, do a lot more JIRA wrangling for multiple c

Can confirm it's been very useful. And though we're all engineers, the goals don't necessarily need to be programming related. In the last cohort I finished my book draft, for example. For the next one I'm considering fo

"Burger" is not a meat-specific term. It's simply two usually round bread patties with some other savory ingredient placed between them. I wonder how long it will take Italy to make coconut milk producers/distributors to

I'm just a coder who lifts and _not_ a marketing or ideation genius, but at first read that sounds like a really good idea. Reasoning: It _seems_ like if you make the programs legitimately useful and look reputable, not only would you

I've been reading a book called 7 Figure Fiction by T. Taylor. It is about using "universal fantasy" to craft stories in a way that is appealing to readers of the target genre on a sort of primal/base instinct level.

I had a similar impression. It looks very polished and smooth, but also a little overwhelming and "too much". _But_ my first thought was that I just am not the target audience because after years of amateur lifting I've reali
