It is unfortunately not that straightforward in the case of the US. For example, the ICCPR was ratified by the US, but declared “not self-executing.” The ICESCR was never ratified.

Access to clean water may not be enshrined in the US constitution, but it’s not accurate to say it’s not “any sort of basic right.” It’s enshrined explicitly as such in a variety of UN documents and EU laws and instruments. I wish more of m

Surprised not to really see any comments on the financial incentives of this move, especially in the context of the “supply chain risk” classification earlier this year. Is there no one in government who would stand to gain from a financial

I moved to Sweden a little over 5 years ago for work after literally making a spreadsheet comparing potential countries. Sweden wasn't at the top of the list (not even close), but I landed on it because the tech ecosystem seemed unusua

I left the US, not because I was worried about healthcare for myself or my family, but because of how I felt it reflected on me that I was fine choosing to stay and cash a large check every month while others around me had to worry about he

There were always issues with Nordstream, but the project rapidly imploded only after the war made it all untenable. Tariffs + coercion via-vis EU tech regulation + Greenland are rapidly making the transatlantic tech status quo untenable.

My father never dissuaded me from the computer science degree I went for (starting in 2007), but later on in life, he told me that, at the time, he was worried about my choice because outsourcing was all the rage and everyone was saying the

I had not heard of any real level of anger toward the USA from the average Canadian (the exception being as a response to the now-delayed 25% tariffs). Same applies here. Your average Swede is not angry at the USA for what it’s doing right

Never heard of any of that. In this context, “new Yalta” is more in reference to the carving up of “spheres of influence” by the big players, without the little players (the ones being carved up) having a seat at the table.

Here in Sweden, following news of “peace talks” where both Ukraine and Europe were sidelined, the prime minister referenced a “new Yalta” as a troubling scenario, especially for small nations like ours. Whether intentionally or not, the USA

Think a lot of people here are missing the forest for the trees. We are witnessing the collapse of the unipolar world order that has brought relative freedom and prosperity to most of the world for the last three and a half decades. I don’t

Unless you’re a member of congress or a civil servant in the executive branch, paying any attention to this is wasted energy. We already saw this play out in his last term. Directing how laws are enforced is a function of the executive bran

My (limited) understanding of this law is that it works by barring US companies from doing business with ByteDance, primarily hitting App Store providers and cloud service providers. There’s a world in which they could have migrated service

This is a great perspective. I believe that great leaders facilitate this, whether by setting a meaningful mission in the first place, or by aligning company needs with the personal beliefs and needs of individuals in a team. That being sai

My understanding is that many of the oldest companies have lasted so long because they were/are family operations. Countries where “son takes over the business” is the norm will have more older businesses. Japan is one such country and

I’m in the same situation. Calling and receiving calls worked for a year or so via the app, but at some point this year, it asked me to verify that my (former) US number was still valid (which I obviously couldn’t do). Probably what OP is r

I live in a village of about ~1300 in West Sweden (couple hours outside of Gothenburg), surrounded by lakes and forests. There are two art/craft/design schools in town, one of which has been here for nearly a century, resulting in

Most replies missing the forest for the trees in this anecdote by focusing on a lack of mutual trust. Management is fundamentally the art of aligning your team’s motivations toward the company’s benefit. Inevitably, those things will be irr

Would love to hear more from you on this. Why Klarna but not Spotify? If CBAs only put in place a salary floor, how are they keeping salaries low?

Strangest I've experienced of this is one level deeper: someone I was with had the context that I’d moved to Sweden. They asked me how my French was coming along. Took me awhile to make the connection. I wouldn’t have thought that some

I find basically all of their content unreadable end-to-end, though. The articles seem to lack structure and often it feels as though they were just spat out via LLM.

Love to see it. I wish it addressed reliability, though. In my neck of the woods in Sweden, coverage is pretty decent, but on more than one occasion, I've had to bounce between 7+ fast chargers before finding one that actually worked.

Moved to Sweden from the US ~3 years ago. The most stable path is with an employer-sponsored work visa. Best bet is to interview at a multinational with a presence in Sweden (big companies are more likely to operate in English). Next best o

When I was at University of Denver, this was exactly the kind of thing covered in a course called “Unix Tools” and it was hands-down the most valuable quarter I spent there. I had assumed it was a standard thing across CS programs.

Was hoping the actual linked interview would clarify this, but it too didn’t seem crisp: would it be the cost of buying the car new + $8.50 per hour? Or is the idea that I never have to buy the thing outright, but I could get access to a s
