I love these kinds of tools and this looks very useful indeed, but something about your page triggers my spidey sense. A pricing page or at least a hint at a business model would make that go away. Right now it feels like you’re just trying

A common misconception is that insulation is about heating only. It’s not, it’s about keeping the indoor climate as steady as possible, which means cool in the summer. Even a moderate summer will be balming hot in a tent.

As far as i can see there’s zero insulation and basically no thermal mass to buffer the heat. They’re going to need to keep a fire going 24/7.

A language is pretty easy to pick up if you’re coming a similar class of languages. Ecosystems, tooling and patterns on the other hand...

Playing the devils advocate, it's not 20 years to get a flat. It's 20 years to get a large, cheap, centrally located flat. You can get a firsthand contract for spatious 2 room apartment in Märsta for 14k a month right now.

I feel like phones have more or less evolved to a point where there’s nothing more to add. Over the coming year in think the watch/phone/slate/laptop ecosystem will be replaced by one or perhaps two devices that will dock int

Spotify didn’t go public until a few years ago, but sure, I get your point. Here’s Delaval, privately owned maker of milking robots: https://www.allabolag.se/5560123928/delaval-international-ab

I don’t want to post my own company since it can be traced to me IRL, but yeah, all tax returns are public in Sweden, personal and companies alike. Here is Spotify’s financials from its inception to today: https://www.allabolag.s

I mentioned it in the We S-1 thread, but it really weirds me out that the S-1 is the first chance the public has a chance to see a company’s financial status.

That’s so counterintuitive once you get used to all company returns (both privately and publicly held) being public information in Sweden. Here’s Spotify’s complete financial history from its inception for example: https://www.al

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but is an S-1 the first chance for the general public to get any insight into a company’s financials?

At it's core, it's also what drives Carmack's Fast Inverse Square Root ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root ). Yes, yes, I know Carmack didn't invent it.

Your goal is admirable, but please, please, PLEASE consult with a lawyer before collecting any sort of health-related PII.

Fellow Swede, child-haver and boggled-mind-haver. The way I see it it's an extremely cheap investment from the state's point of view - 350 kSEK or so in exchange for two years lower stress levels for 3 citizens (child + parents).

You’re right, it wasn’t impressive so I double checked. It’s 6414 kWh (3596 kWh in southern Sweden) for heating and hot water production without geothermal, only by air heat reuse. It’s a two story house at 164m2 which is three times as l

Precisely this. In Sweden there is the notion of industrisemester which originated from when manufacturing dominated the economy. Basically, all of Sweden (minus social services) shuts down from midsummer to beginning of August. Any “real

Insulation and heat pumps. New houses built in Sweden _above the Arctic circle_ use less than 9000 kWh per year. 300mm of insulation and a geothermal heat pump that gives you at least 3 kW of heat for every 1 kW of electricity.

The solution to this problem is as simple as it is revolting to programmers - realize that programming is a low-value task. The high-value task is solving business problems, if it happens so that programming is the easiest path then go for

For the past two years I’ve been my own boss and one of my main terms I tell my clients is that I commit to 30 hours on-site per week. I’ve tried to splice this as 4x7,5 and 5x6 and I prefer the latter _by far_, even if this means one more
