Honestly, that is not how employment works in most of the (civilized) world. In the US, sure, but elsewhere we do have labor laws that matter.

It won’t, of course. But Nintendo has chosen to defend their trademarks always - which is a simple solution, doesn’t require anyone to make a decision “should we allow this or not”. This case might’ve been an easy call to allow, but by alwa

Why doesn’t petty theft carry the death penalty? Penalties for any crime must be, in a democracy, be reasonable to the general population (which of course contains a lot of people who both are data subjects and data controllers via owning s

Risk management is part of every decision a business faces, legal or compliance risks aren't any different. Can we risk the CEO and chairman travelling on the same airplane? Can we risk having our disaster recovery site in the same cit

Problem is - a shutdown doesn't really make any difference. Dropping the data would make a difference, but just shutting down access could potentially (very unlikely though) mean additional infractions - the customers' requests fo

I like periscope.io myself, although I haven't done an in-depth comparison between the current options.

I wonder if it would be possible to build a USB-C charger where the tip is connected to the rest of the cord with magnets. I don't see why we would need to give up the disconnect-when-tripping-on-the-cord just because the final connect

If you buy this to play games (or rather - if game performance is where your computer needs max out), you're probably a person with enough money to not sweat a $10k computer purchase more than I mull over a fancy meal with the missus.

And yet, when you control for other biases (like income level, employment status, adult figures in household), this difference between immigrants and non-immigrants seem to disappear... almost like the defining factor is not where you (or y

Between 2003 and 2013, the Swedish population grew by 7.8%, which should be taken into account when looking at absolute numbers of reported crimes.

This is a typical talking-point of Sverigedemokraterna - the claiming that discussions around immigration are taboo in Swedish media. The major issue with this is that it's not actually the lack discussions about immigration (immigrati

You seem to have a very loose understanding of how the Swedish society works. The Police is not "run by the Government" - it's role in the Swedish society is directed by Polislagen (The Police Law). The Government directs (as

Well, the only crime that has a really uncontroversial definition would be criminal homicide (certainly a small number could be misattributed to suicide, but still - a dead person is a dead person, no "made up" charges, no non-fil

This is truly bullshit. Violent crimes in Sweden is at an all-time low. The primary reason for some statistics to indicate raising crime-rates is that the tendency to report a crime has risen a lot lately (a very good thing). The fact that

Actually, I believe is to be the case. As late as the early to mid-90s, I'd say there was no place like the US of A (even though the Nordic countries were very nice also then, they were behind on certain aspects). Today US has noticeably de

The recommendation to use snow tires on cars/trucks in these areas seems to me like a given. In Sweden it's mandatory to have "winter tires" (either studded or non-studded, but rated for snow - if you're not in the southern-most parts of Sw

London, July 7 2005. Now, I don't agree with any security checks on train stations (and think the security checks on airports are ridiculous) but I'm afraid that those who want to implement such things can at least dig up some argument (not

Chiming in from Sweden, I also loved flying as a young kid. These days I'm a parent myself and have sent my kids on flights (domestic only) using Unaccompanied Minor services several times, and it's always worked out well. BTW, in Sweden th
