Unreasonable may be in the eye of the beholder. It is however completely expected. If anything, they waited much longer than usual. This is pretty much a school book example how labor conflicts go. The next steps of the conflict are also ex

The French system is not at all like the Nordic system. It is much closer to the American system, only with stronger unions. The Swedish almost never go on strikes, with very few exceptions.

They are. Then again, so are the unions. Tesla just chose the most expensive way possible to solve the matter. That's well within their rights, of course.

If you don't want to strike, then don't strike. What is the issue here?

This is a massive simplification to the point of being misleading. Those laws are largely superseded by contract law, which is exactly why collective agreements are made, and the order in which layoffs are made are usually among the first t

I'm sure there are. To be frank, that matters little. All large employers are part of an employer's union. They don't see things differently. They all need this particular contract law intact. Vocal or not, no one will not be

Absolutely not. It will not embolden unions in Sweden at all. They fully expect to win. Contract law is the fundamental issue here. The only realistic alternative is Tesla leaving Sweden. Prospective owners would have to import their cars f

No one is outraged, just confused. It's simple. Above a certain size, you either get an agreement or no one will do business with you. Put this way, it should tickle every libertarian mind. Free actors operating in an open market.

Easy. Should Tesla continue to play hardball, the next step is likely the union of bank workers cutting off their financial services. There are few courier companies large enough to take their service, even in a scenario where the contract

A strike has a legal definition which is not open for debate. Perhaps you are thinking of a general strike? This is a solidarity strike.

Firemen and police are unlikely to strike, but expect to see them to start losing bank service, office services, and trash services next. Then, expect neighboring countries to start doing the same. Sweden has few strikes. In fact, hardly an

It is not a question of what is allowed. The company delivering parcels must fulfill their contracts, but the contracts clearly have stipulations for force majeure. Which a strike is, by the very definition. What is not clear here? Sweden h

Why would you say that? It's clearly not a government agency. It is a company. It's not something one can have an opinion on. It is a fact, and an important one for the people working there. Being a government worker comes with ce

Well, while it's completely legal, it's not entirely by the book. It starts to get a bit of a gray area when you reach a certain size. The unions, including the employer unions (NB!), have during the past century kept the country&

No, the employer here is not the government. Please stop repeating this.

There is something to be said for questions like "what is the best way to organize code, many small codebases or one big one?". Code can have many properties. It can be easy or hard to read, to extend, performance, scalable and a

The article offers no such comparison. It says that MacOS has sandboxing these days. That's good, but it's not a comparison. The MacOS sandbox is really complex. It's a rule based system specified in XML, and an unknown porti

That anything is not completely secure is a truism. In what way? Compared to what? Linux is not as secure as some research-level operating systems, but that comparison is not very useful for most people. Among mainstream operating systems,

> `git checkout branchname` does nothing except make HEAD point to the commit You probably know this, but since we are being pedantic we might as well get it right: That describes "git reset". "git checkout" does that

I'd be happy to argue why Linus is wrong here. Many things would be much easier if git recorded some more metadata in every commit: file moves, and branch moves, to start with. Having some sort of notion of "parent branch" wo

Unless you are superhuman and never make mistaeks, you should put "git rebase" (with and without -i) on top of your list of things to learn.

I remain unconvinced that the decision to ignore SIGPIPE is right. The description is very hard wavy about it, "Python knows what it's doing". Maybe, but I can think of half a dozen other situations where this may trip up som

The only reason this is a potential source of bugs is because of the poorly thought out changes in Python 3. It is not a problem with Python 2 code, and it wouldn't have been a problem should there have been backwards compatible types

IMAP supports a multitude of authentication standards, including hash and key-like, so the above is not necessarily true, however it is unlikely that Outlook supports them. Client certificates are supported by both Thunderbird and K9, would
