well, VW has cancelled the ID.7 for the US market, and by 2030 will have killing 50% of their models across all brands (according to topgear).

Looks very interesting! A video is also a must for me as well as an independent review. I would love to be updated though, and I think you could pick up a lot of potential leads by having a newsletter. But exciting stuff! Good luck :)

Interesting to see how they're marketing increasingly minor improvements as major breakthroughs. 16 Pro: Better camera, more zoom, dedicated camera button… isn’t that it? WiFi 7, faster ray tracing, USB-C/USB 3? Hard to imagine many people really need that.

Have we witnessed peak Apple?

Apple Watch: minimal updates. AirPods Max: new color. AirPods: some minor tweaks.

Rintzler89 is still right though. Hardly any asylum seekers in eastern european countries because “nordic welfare” > “eastern european welfare”

Not an easy thing to fix

Ah okay. Didn’t know that. I’ve only crossed the border by plain or car

As a Dane living in Denmark, I don’t think it’s a big problem. We don’t show passports when entering Germany, only when returning to Denmark. And several times, if I forgot my passport, a driver’s license has been sufficient. Passport control is not really, if I have to be direct, aimed at the locals.

Unfortunately, Schengen has made it easy for organized crime. On the simpler end, for example, bicycle theft, cargo bike theft, and electric bike battery theft have exploded, and the police do not have the resources to solve it. When they occasionally caught the perpetrators and deported them, a couple of months could pass before they encountered the same people again. There is a lot of that kind of thing in Denmark, and unfortunately, it is often people from Eastern European countries who are behind it. I am not far-right, but it is a fact. The ironic thing is that border control doesn’t really solve anything. There is no control when you drive out of the country (possibly with stolen goods), and there is no round-the-clock passport control at all border crossings.

After spending a very long time trying to find the perfect non-Tesla EV with both carplay, good range, cargo space etc… I gave up and “settled” for a Model Y LR. The software in a Tesla is just as good as Elon is bad. Not to turn this into an anti-Elon thing… But the software in the Tesla is really second-to-none, and more folks would find out if it weren’t for Elon.

If you can live with the high taxes, then scandinavia is nice. The social safety net makes money less important. Free health care is the big one. Not having to worry at all about hospital bills(ever) is a great relief.

I don't think we'll see a version 4 for the next decade or so (because of the python3 debacle) - so it'll probably just be various improvements to the standard library.

There's a lot of improvements being made to Python on these minor versions. So while the version bump looks minor, they can make quite a big impact.

3.11 improved performance by 25-60% (depending on use-case). 3.12 is set to improve performance yet again (Special thanks to Mark Shannon, GvR and Microsoft). On top of that there's a lot of quality-of-life improvements for the various parts of the std.lib.

I like this apporach very much, since upgrading to a new minor Python version is somewhat trivial

I agree.

Maybe "3.11.0 public" or "3.11.0 release" would be better suited to distinguish between the various dev-builds and the "final" release of the minor version

I agree. What we've been doing is - based on advice from somewhere I can't remember - is to always make things easy to remove. So whenever a new app/module/service is added - the "author" has to think about making said thing easy to remove. The result is that new apps/modules/services must have very few connections with the other parts of the code. It does result in a fair amount of "get_<app>_settings" on the base classes, but the result is a lot less spaghetti. The thing is, we rarely remove stuff later on - but when we do, it's often only a few methods that needs to be altered in order to disconnect a specific part of the system.

It’s a little more nuanced I’d say. For once; strikes are supposed to be related to labor-stuff.

There’s a court called the “workerscourt” (arbejdsretten) in Denmark. It deals with strikes etc. an unlawful can be called to an end by this court; and all participants in an illegal strike can be ordered to pay a rather significant amount for each hour not-working.

So it’s really rather regulated.

Some sectors aren’t allowed to strike at all - under no circumstances. Workers here get extra benefits and a great retirement plan, but no right to strike.

education is free(yep) in Denmark. You even get paid to study (about 1000$/month for living expenses).

The result is that a lot of people are well educated. If you haven’t completed an education in Denmark, you might not have a lot of options but to accept 22$ an hour

minor correction; It’s 10k DKK (about 1500$) in cash equivalents… So you have to “eat your bricks first” (as the saying goes for those who own property).

just to clarify;

Our product: A was a direct competitor to the other product: B. We tried to purchase domain: C - without any luck, we could not get in touch with the owner since he did not reply to the publicly listed email address.

B's owner(our competitor) purchased domain C from it's owner; B was better at location contact-information I guess.

So suddenly domain C contained logo, image, and redirect to product B; and that was when we complained. We had no intention(or right) to complain when domain C was still in use by its original owner.
