It's worth noting that Høyre is not just conservative but "value conservative", verdikonservativ in Norwegian. The basic is to not mess with things that works, but replace what doesn't. Being politicians they do not foll

In Norway it's even worse. We generally have very few special interests groups, however the narcotics police have formed their own political group that constantly writes for news papers, joins debates and speaks to the politicians, and

I find it very strange that one of the criteria is if you would want to watch it in public. There are many thing on regular TV I'd never watch in public. I'm also baffled by the levels of fear naked skin seems to solicit in the US

Not to get too far into meta discussions, but It sucks when only part of this forum is able to discuss an article because of access issues like this. I see that WSJ wants to make money, but at least not link those articles in a discussion f

In Norway it does unless you use the national BankID electronic signature. I'm pretty sure this is standard in most of Europe. To get my BankID I had to submit an authenticated copy of my passport done by the postal service as they did

I suspect this will go into the next generation of consoles too. Both xbox and ps4 (also pro and x version) contain the old jaguar core from amd. But what's up with the single channel ram in the ibm one? Both of the others have dual-ch

I have bought intel for the last 15-20 years, however my next workstation/gaming computer will have a threadripper of some sort. I have never been a fanboy of either but for my use case it's a nobrainer right now. Even if I was a

This is actually what I think will happen when I die, I will cease to exist. It is much better than being told that I will be tortured in hell forever :)

I raised it because it is very commonly used as an argument against this system because "$ETHNIC_GROUP of people is so bad they can never be recovered". And I don't think it matters, what matters is that all members of the so

I can't believe I am actually defending christianity here, but yes this is true. I am not religious and have just taken the humanistic parts of Jesus to heart not the religious parts. However even in christianity it is god who will exa

While seen as a whole this might be true, but if you look at the major cities the story is very different. The latest statistic from Oslo[1] shows that 32.8% are immigrants and 40% of these are from Europe. So between 15-20% of Oslo are &qu

You need the whole social structure that goes with it, not just the prison system. It includes the social security net, health care system, education, low corruption etc. The corruption part is actually quite important. Even if you do not c

> Ultimately those guidelines are so you can find peace for yourself, not so the offender has a better life. I agree with this, however he also say that you should do to others as you would them do to you. In other words, embrace empathy

I agree that they are vastly different and I don't think you can expect the prisoners that have been conditioned to be animals to change overnight. I'm not saying the way used here is the ultimate solution, however it seems to wor

Now, this is what has always baffled me about the US. I will try to condense this a bit. The US is primarily a christian country supposedly founded on christian values etc. I am an atheist, and a nihilist in that I do not think there is an

Obviously! :) My auto correct feature has been a bit overzealous here and English is not my 1st language. Updated the post you referenced.

Here is a presentation[1] of one of the maximum security prisons in Norway. If you treat people better you will have lower rates of reincarceration[2]. In essence, they are trying to create "good neighbors" out of the prisoners. A

I have OpenBSD on my firewall, a small old machine running irssi and an old laptop for fiddling. My experience is that it's simple to use and well documented.

I'm not sure if this constitutes politics or what on HN, but as an outside, not taking part in the election and living in another country, here is my observation on this point. Hillary f *ed up the Bernie Sanders campaign using pretty

And until this is rectified, no-one should take their words on face value. It has to be verifiable, otherwise it's just words.

I was referring to an actual quote by Ballmer. I'm sure many on the open source side have had less than flattering words for Microsoft too, however Steve Ballmer said, and I quote: "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an int

These are the ones I am talking about. Halo, GoW and Minecraft have been GAASified. We have to see about Forza 7. Meanwhile, 1st party games like Horizon Zero Dawn from Sony or Mario vs Rabbids from Nintendo are free of such. In 3rd party g

If they used the collected data only for compatibility improvements and discarded it when done. If they allowed me to opt-in and I could shut off _all_ other telemetry. If I trusted Microsoft. Then we could talk :)

Yes which is why I specifically wrote free software in two of my paragraphs, I should probably have clarified. I do not necessarily think supporting non-free open source software is good, and hope some of this goes to supporting actual free

This is all fine and good. I hope their efforts are sincere. All money and support to free software is most likely good. However, I've been part of the open source community for 25 years, and I remember the brutal marketing against the

They must be very short-sighted, even a dotard should be able to understand what happens if you remove large sections of a companies market overnight. I mean, we would have to pull out of azure completely. Today we spend millions of kroner

Today, the first thing we have to check when sourcing some saas solution is where the data is stored and weather the company has a US department (I work in a Norwegian bank). So far, if the data is stored physically in the EU and we get a l
