Where I live the company has to set aside 12.5% of the salary paid for next years "vacation money". You can chose yourself when to withdraw this money in the following year. For a full time job you are required to take 25 days (or

The unmanned truck would likely be _crammed_ with cameras and other surveillance tools like hidden gps senders in the containers. It might initially be easier but I'm not sure if you would get very far with the stolen goods.

We have what is called "ekstravakt" job positions in Norway which could be called "call in only" positions. You get sick leave based on when you would normally work and you get pension, vacation money etc based on how mu

What we do in Norway is open the polling stations almost a month in advance so people can plan when to vote depending on their schedule. You can also vote by mail before or go to the local "rådhus" or town hall and vote there in c

Thanks both of you, I've padded my own subscription list today :) The thing about YouTube vs regular TV is that _I_ chose what to watch not someone else. I also chose the time to watch it. Slightly OT, but the host of the original Scra

Not only that, they put events for our kids activities on facebook. I have to ask to be emailed about these events and often I get a screenshot of their facebook post! You should not have to be on a platform to participate and luckily every

I stopped watching regular TV around 2005 due to the influx of "reality-tv" and other crappy formats. What I used to watch before was real documentaries on discovery and it's family of channels. Now I just watch Festival of S

Well it's still comparatively low. I've yet to see a Tesla ad on TV, news papers or billboards and they still sell like hot cakes in my country. If we count the full 70 million for tesla spend in marketing against an annual averag

They had to stop putting the "price after savings" on their web pages in Norway long time ago, it just wasn't compatible with our laws. They also had to pay back money to buyers due to having the combined power of the motors

Sounds crazy.. and most people still believes what is said in advertisements or do they just accept that it's all fake?

Ok, not quite zero but close to it. I've never seen a banner ad or tv ad for tesla outside of their stores. I suspect most of this cost is banners and such in their stores and video production for their youtube channel. Maybe they also

To me this looks almost criminal but I don't know advertising laws in the US. In my country you can't claim you are best in something without substantial evidence to back it up. Most just write "one of the best" to avoid

You will need to stretch the definition of "can" here too, you need energy equivalent to an exploding star or two neutron stars colliding [1] to make it :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Gold_productio

We have excellent public transportation where I live (Norway), but after I got kids I needed a car. It's not just about public transportation being a success. We try to use public transportation as much as possible but sometimes it jus

I never claimed all masks don't work, I was talking about cheap paper masks. It might not have been clear enough in the original comment.

The article I refer to in the sibling comment claims 23 times an hour on average so it would mean about 550 times during a day/night if you don't sleep. It sounds a bit more plausible.

It is what I read by an associate in microbiology and infection control [1]. I tend to listen to experts but maybe he's wrong about the field he is studying, I'm not an expert :) Translated from Norwegian: - Does a facemask help a

You can actually increase your odds of infection by different deceases by having a paper mask since they are often uncomfortable or fit poorly and people put their hands to the face to adjust them.

SARS (the syndrome) is actually caused by the corona virus so it's not really new. But I see my karma won't be healthy in this discussion so I guess I'll shut up :p

I think after the success of the media in respect to this virus (massive amounts of clicks and TV view time), I firmly believe that every new flu will have it's own name and similar coverage from now on. They just made too much money o

They're still considering hydrogen too, however hydrogen production/distribution is really inefficient and as of today not very carbon neutral [1]. When you count the whole supply chain it has about the same efficiency as a diesel

I work in the financial industry and even if the CAC is really high (100s of dollars) it still pales in comparison to the income we get on average from the new customers. I don't work in marketing but even if I personally hate ads, the
