In Sweden, we have something called "Swish". All transactions are done on your smart phone using the sellers mobile phone number. Both buyer and seller has configured which bank account the money gets transferred to and from. Only thing that gets shared is your phone number. The service is 100% free for both buyer and seller. This has replaced paypal and cash in almost all transactions (Sweden is estimated to be 97% cash free).
But the neighbour countries Norway and Sweden haven't used coal in decades. For electricity generation, Norway is basically 100% hydro and Sweden is 45% hydro, 40% nuclear and 15% wind, solar, woodburning and minor natgas. Pressure from Denmark forced Sweden to shut down their most southern nuclear plant, so a small natgas plant had to be built(2 TWh of the total 160 TWh generated). The natgas is bought from... Denmark.
Swedish video surveillance laws are extremely strict. I am not allowed to on my own property place a camera that monitors my lawn, because said lawn can be visited by the public. I can only, without a permit, monitor locked areas never available for the public. A shop owner is not allowed to put a camera that is only on when the shop is closed. In my home town, an unmanned gym that is open 24/7 has repeatedly been denied a permit and have opted to keep paying the fine for their cameras. Fines are incredibly low, about 10k USD, so they don't care.
Visible light is divided into frequencies. Blue is a set of frequencies that our brains simplify by telling us it's "blue". Having sensitivity for telling frequencies apart helps us distuingish objects. Example: red apple on green treetop. There is no need to understand exactly what "blue" looks like, just what it is and why it helps us.
Not where I live (Sweden). Here, a meal at McDonald's is 70 SEK. A nutritious meal of chicken fillet, rice and broccoli cooked at home is 20-30 SEK. No dollar menu available anywhere.
Correct. I disabled the power down timeout. It stopped the on/off cycles, but didn't improve performance. I ended up buying regular 7200 rpm Seagate disks. Sold them after 4 years and replaced with my current Seagate NAS disks. They run 5 degrees cooler than my old disks with no noticable performance decrease. Highly worth the small price difference.
My 3x Seagate NAS 4TB drives sitting in my file server have power-on hours of about 19000 without any sign of problems. I will replace them at the 3 year running mark anyway, but mostly because I am running out of space. If you wanna talk about really horrible drives, look at first generation WD Green. I sold mine after 2 months because of extremely lacking performance and worrying mechanical noises. During the 20 years I have been using hard drives I have come to the conclusion that one should never buy the largest drives and not the first generation of new technology drives. Choose the safe middle-ground.
I, living in Sweden, pay VAT on all purchases. It doesn't matter if I buy locally, from a Swedish retailer online or from a German online retailer without any "presence" in Sweden. Consistency makes sense and I don't understand why it's even a topic for you in the US. Live in state X = pay sales tax demanded by X.
I weigh 350 pounds. I own a road racer and routinely bike 40-60 km for enjoyment. I do most of my grocery shopping on my regular bike. I bike almost every day. I also deadlift 400 pounds, bench 250 and squat 300 pounds. I completely reject your conclusion that being obese hinders people doing such a simple task as riding a bike.
I reboot whenever a security fix for the kernel is released, so every few weeks to a couple of months, typically. Maximizing uptime for e-peen shouldn't take priority over applying security fixes, imho.
Welcome to Sweden! We will probably even give you retirement money if you get here after the age of 65. And we all speak passable English, so no need to learn our language. Very convenient.:)
By calling them robots instead of machines, the article writers are playing on emotional strings of people, trying to provoke a larger response than otherwise.
Imagine being horrified because the robot "Spinning Jenny" will steal all our lucrative spinning yarn jobs! Imagine the panic! The horror!
We've been having this trend for a very long time in the west. Manufacturing moved to service industry and most people found new jobs. The reason not all people found jobs is because of wealth hoarding by the top 1%. This is a known economic fact. It has also worsened and happened to coencide with the changes in production(some out-sourcing, some automation with machines).
Once wealth is properly redistributed and old welfare models are changed to a guaranteed income model that's much more efficient, we won't be having any problems. People want to contribute and will continue to do so even if their livelihood is guaranteed. Everyone wants fulfillment and a better life and how would they get it? By working, of course!
"But, but... communism!". Get over yourself. This is the way it has to be done. We can't allow very few people to ridiculously wealthy at the expense of a very large number of people. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".
It has always baffled me that Americans use anti-bacterial soap. I have never even heard of it being used here in Sweden. At hospitals and other sensitive areas we use regular soap plus rubbing alcohol.
It's hard to detect a sub in an archipelago for obvious reasons. It also doesn't help that the military budget of Sweden is basically non-existant, we simply don't have enough hardware to defend our extremely long water border. The Swedish army and related politicians have been saying this for decades.
Detecting a sub in open waters using specialized equipment is a different beast all together.
Power output is usually stated in installed or peak power. In this case, my guess would be this is the power output from the PV panels when the sky is free of clouds, sun at zenith and panels pointed perfectly perpendicular to the incoming solar rays.
Current frm PV is DC (Direct Current) and needs to be converted to AC (Alternating Current) to be able to be fed to the grid, although DC can be fed to data centers if wanted. If DC->AC conversion is used, stated power output might be the power leaving the converter feeding the grid, but I doubt It.

Swedish company Ericsson has all the gear they could ever want to buy when it comes to 5G or any other mobile communication infrastructure.
The Swedish word for straw literally translates to "suction pipe". Straw, as in from a plant, is a different word.
Norway doesn't have any poor people. Not in any true sense of the word.

Yes. Mine uses about 1.6GB.
I would say at least FreeBSD is not a toy and is definitely in use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

Blowjobs are already free for most people.

My home FreeBSD server has /tmp mounted in RAM and /var/tmp linked to /tmp. Even if the malware got installed, it would get wiped at reboot.

Today is 2015-03-14. Using any other time format is stupid and confusing. I really hate having to decode weird American standards.
