Unfortunately either side can't blink. IF Metall can't back down because then other companies could get ideas to leave. And Elmu doesn't want to back down because then other countries could get ideas about unionising which would affect their bottom line.


tells you a lot about where we are, if one dude is trying (and reasonably expecting) to stare down entire countries...


More like, one company is trying (and reasonably expecting) to stare down a few unions across 3 countries, with each one of the countries individually having a smaller GDP than the market cap of that company.

Yeah, I am kinda seeing that expectation to be pretty realistic.


IF Metall hasn't played their best card yet. The finance industry union. If forced, they'll play that. That will freeze all transactions. Tesla won't be able to pay bills and won't be able to receive funds.


Toys r us got that treatment, folded pretty quickly. Will it be as impacting in the digital age?


There’s also the mechanics working at these garages. The timing and ferocity of this action is strange to me as an outsider considering Tesla’s been in Sweden for a decade.

If Tesla mechanics received stock in 2013, some of them probably got rich. It’s plausible Tesla mechanics actually think it’s awesome to receive tons of overtime, stock, and perf bonuses. I haven’t seen their perspective covered in the media, which I find suspicious.


Eh. Every other multinational that tried this bit of brinksmanship backed down, more or less, with minimal contagion. McDonalds remains un-unionised in America, say.


Linus Torvalds $50M net worth says otherwise. There are however very few "winners" and a lot of losers.


If he sold his OS like other US companies then his networth would be $50B not $50M.

You can argue that Linux can't reach that kind of successful if it is nonfree, but there were a lot of poorly written OS that sold millions.


Bad example. He also was part of a number of startups including Transmeta.


I believe that the current housing bubble began to really go off the rails during the 2008 financial crisis due to decisions made by the Conservative Party of Canada at that time. Instead of addressing the issue directly, the government chose to stimulate the housing market through incentives and policies, effectively artificially inflating it. Subsequent governments have followed a similar path.

As we've seen, the accumulated potential energy in the housing market has now grown to such an extent that we don't know what to do with it. Eventually, the "sandpile effect" is likely to come into play, since the laws of nature always wins.


It reads like paint two circles... then the rest of the owl.


Same. Wrote scripts to level up skills, set up runes to different stores to perform automated shopping rounds. Had one script for sparring that would recall to a bank or an Inn and log out if a staff appeared in the journal; since it was illegal to macro offline on some servers. It was all good fun and I always enjoyed having it running on my PC as some sort of Tamagotchi.

Me and my brother also ran our own servers for a while. Believe the last server I played on was one of the Zuluhotel ones.


I do the same, but right now I just keep tabmanager.io on my right screen to show a grid of all my windows. Some which I save for later, e.g. switching between projects.


Looks good. What would be the difference from e.g. Basecamp?


Basecamp is great for team collaboration, but not so great for task planning/management. It's mainly a team communication platform.


In terms of performance and size it's much better. Though it's more of a base component and you can virtualize any sort of scrollable element that you can render, vertical or horizontal.


DDD is about building maintainable software by trying to separate the business domain from the application technology. If there is no separation and/or the software is not easy to maintain(more than just being tired of looking at it year after year), then try something else.
