Some clarification on the comments on unemployment in the Nordics . The nordics arent really as inviting, socialist and helpful as many US interweebs might think. Sweden and Denmark will only pay unemployment if you have unemployment insura

I have 3 email in-boxes. One ancient rarely used since the early 2000, my personal daily email and my work email. Between then there are some 100k unread emails. I am not the target audience for this service.

The greyed out downvoted comments in this thread makes it look like that dreaded echo chamber that must not be named here. HN threads are usually much better quality than this ( anyone with opposed ideas are downvoted to oblivion ). Rubbish

Cannot in any way understand why this is an actual issue. Sheesh If more newspapers would stay out of endorsing political parties we would live in a better world. Frankly leftist newspaper propaganda has done little but make the rightist

I think this is a naive article trying to stop a huge wave that is already here. I know developers that fret over younger devs that have never even seen assemby and thus do not understand the code they write and so on…. Learn how to use AI

Disclaimer I have never been obese or suffered obesity. If it was easy no one would be fat. The whole body acceptance movement is a sham and always will be. We dont find obesity attractive and we do not want to be obese. However for som

A bit myopic to disqualify someone from the credibility pool because they had a headstart in life imho.

My take is a combination of factors - Decreased fertility ( Obesity maybe? ) - Cost of housing. - Children in the west are now overprotected little dictators and parents are no longer allowed to be humans with their own needs. Side rant: I

I feel the destructive behaviour of bored kids is forgotten a bit. Growing up in the late 70s early 80s we were kicked out of the house until dinner. We did a lot of really dangerous things exploring. Among these, -Playing in storm

I´d also wager that some of the competition has finally gotten they sh!t together. Tried the new WV ev Passad and the latest Skoda Enyaq. Both have great battery range and when it comes to comfort are much better than the stiff bumby Te

I remember 15 or so years ago a colleague of mine ( in the nordics outside of EU ) wanted to purchase a photoshop licence for personal use. It was a crazy expensive licence ( I do not remember how much but it was more than I made a month at

We still had country wide lockdown just a few months after a +90% population wide vaccine uptake in my home country. Omicron opened up society, not a single other pandemic measure and that includes masks. On another note. With EU cou

I feel the article makes ECMO sounds like a viable common treatment for lung ailments. I have personal experience with ECMO. Disclaimer: I have no medical training. But I have had two loved ones in ECMO in my life. An adult age 48 and a pre

Looks like Prabhakar Raghavan has become interwebs enemy nr1. Interesting.

Yeah I agree. The personal tone makes it clear that this is the authors’ opinion and not unbiased fact. I thoroughly enjoyed the article and the writing style. Excellent job.

Is there any other field that normalizes this type of insane interviews. They are even applauded by the vast majority in this thread. Do mathematiticans have to interiview like this? Medical doctors? Police officers? Rocket scientists?

I don't think it's PR. The transition to EV is comparably piss poor to anyone who is using their cars for more than short commutes. We go skiing every year and we drive approx 1200 km to the same spot. This year on the brand
