Perhaps we should also be looking at population density: Stockholm: 11,802/sqm Oslo: 4,268/sqm Helsinki: 3,670/sqm

If you compare it to its more sparsely populated immediate neighbors, sure, Sweden looks bad. If you compare it to UK, France, Spain, Italy, who all did a severe lockdown, Sweden does not look bad.

Of course "others" can too, if by that you mean other countries with a population that is affluent enough to demand green politics. The problem is that these countries only have a small share in global carbon emissions, so even se

Maintainers aren't going to keep outdated packages around forever, even if you "work with them". In effect, there is some ongoing maintenance there either way. If I just maintain my own dependencies, then I don't have

Why would anybody care what Denmark does with its own money in order to suppress its already minuscule impact on CO2 emissions? It would probably be more effective if affluent countries levied import taxes on countries that emit too much CO

That is my point, higher prevalence should lead to higher excess mortality, of course. Of all EU countries, only Spain comes close to the US in prevalence. Many countries have far lower prevalence but still comparable mortality. That tells

It doesn't matter, because the headline is the talking point, even if the article itself is so nuanced that it puts the headline into question. I wouldn't say the article itself is bad, it shows you that the difference between EU

This is how it is done on Windows, which is a far more successful game platform than Linux. Obviously you need to dynamically link to OS interfaces, but you either statically link or ship with your dependencies. On Linux, relying on system

There are still too many people out there who think (or even insist) that you should ship your game on Linux. This has never been the case and never will be the case.

Another total misrepresentation of the paper, worse even than the one in BI the other day. Literally fake news. Do yourself a favor and read the paper, but first read up on how GDP is calculated.

If somebody just almost died on my property and in the heat of the moment I had the nerve to ask them to pay for the damage, I would expect that kind of reaction. As a third party, I wouldn't disapprove either. Anyway, this seems to be

Having the floor collapse under you and then being expected to pay for it seems like a situation where angry shouting and waving would not be considered inappropriate in many cultures. On the other hand, some cultures may suppress even seve

None of this contradicts what I said. In your example, labor supply for the first country has effectively increased while demand has not. In effect, wages must fall in that country. However, there is now increased demand on that cheaper lab

Do not forget that batteries are expensive and that somebody has to actually pay the negative prices. If prices were to go negative too much, the production would become unprofitable, it would then be cheaper to just give it up.

I don't see anything wrong with the paper, just with the conclusion of the BI article. If you look at table C1b, to keep up with 118% GDP growth, you would have to be in the top 1%, in which case your income growth would've been 1

I'd rather ask you why and then clear out some misconceptions you may have.

Wages grow as demand for labor grows and increased economic activity should increase demand for labor. So far so good. However, that's about as far as the relation goes. Technological improvement can both reduce the demand for labor a

It's not the same concept at all, it's an undue conflation of GDP growth, income and income inequality. (See my other reply)

by gridlockd 6y ago
The headline is a non-sequitur of the finding, which says that if GDP growth was equal to salary growth, the median salary would be $102,000. That has nothing to do with income inequality. GDP itself is a problematic figure, but its relatio
