There is no point in trying to justify the cost in counting the BOM, taking your watch for example, it uses a generic ETA caliber 2892-A2 (the "engine" in the watch) which is used in watches that cost 10% up to x10 of yours while it cost only $300-500.

I look at watches as a piece of jewelry more than an engineering item, they might or might nor keep their value but I like how they look, make me look and make me feel especially if there is a nice story behind the watch.

I prefer to describe a bug in details, but it is hard to come up with the details on the fly without prior preparation

Even more than Ryanair, they are on the verge of cheating in the search and order process while Ryanair "merely" shows aggressive offers.

I am not sure what "dark patterns and brainwashing" are you referring to, I booked flights through Norwegian- a calm scandinavian low cost company, and had to say no many times to car and hotel offers. The same when renting cars from big companies.

I recently ordered ticket from Ryanair, if you simply look for the "next" button nothing is a mess. The only somewhat messy thing is the content of what you buy, for example a family package has only one large suitcase which is unusual, and that Ryanair are super strict at the airport- I saw someone taking out socks to remove extra 300 grams from their suitcase.

CrowdStrike Falcon is not an AV, Windows can be decently hardened and Microsoft did not "cut off most of its QA"

Scrum works rather well in small, young, customer-less projects if it is being properly implemented and followed. The problem is that it doesn't scale well, Scrum struggles with bigger teams and multi teams projects.

Not those Ultra Orthodoxes. They are mostly located in undisputed places like Bnei Brak, Jerusalem, Harish or Bet Shemesh. Religious settlers tend to serve in the army, although sometimes for a shorter period (in a Yeshivat Hesder). Having said that, the ruling is just and make sense.

THOSE Ultra Orthodox are not the ones you are thinking about, they are real ultra religious people that actually goes to Yeshiva's and study the bible or whatever they study there.

It's more complicated than that. While Israel is a tiny country the average Israeli doesn't have the daily "living in a war zone" feeling. Rockets were fired at cities but that's a rather rare occasion and there are shelters almost everywhere, so take cover for a few minutes and continue with your life.

There big exceptions to that- the few 100k's people that lived until Oct 7 near the south and north borders had to leave their houses and live in temporary places, mostly hotels, in quiet and safe places. The other are people on reserve duty, many of those had to go for a few months of active combat duty leaving their families behind.

In many places it is not even possible to register a car on two names, although legally this is more about having a point of contact and less about ownership

> For me personally, I view my wife and I as single team

We do the same, but I can see how late marriages might influence this decision

Can you explain how does "we don't need to fight over what specific spending is or isn't acceptable" works? do you simply cut the personal spending symmetrically?

Sweden does have Small claims courts, you can also contact Konsumentombudsmannen (The Consumer Ombudsman)

Are they low-tech? at least BYD presents all the known tech, bells and whistles for a lower price.

Can you share your profile? how good is the exported PDF?

The reason some companies insist on a document is that they feed it to their HR systems, which is not (always) possible with Linkedin

Put the notes in a cloud folder by a vendor that you trust, like Proton for example?

This is hilarious, interesting and important. An important read for uses of LLMs

> If you’re emigrating from the United States, you should probably find and use a bank that has a business model that caters to that scenario.

And generally try to be proactive- talk to them before you do anything, understand what is needed, provide supporting document and try to get things pre-approved as much as possible.

I considered it, and while not perfect decided to stay with Google. All the justification for having a custom domain has strong counter arguments, for example: Self hosting a server- I am too lazy for that and there are too many points of failure in the process and maintenance.

Vendor lock- yes, you can move your address but your emails are still being held by the previous provider. It is possible to backup and restore to a new vendor, but it is cumbersome and again a big point of failure

"it looks good"- yes it does, but I couldn't care less

Noise can travel far in apartment buildings and in non-straight lines...

If you are worried and trust that the neighbor comes in good faith, you can ask them to call you once they hear those banging, or even better knock on you door and come in to listen.

Recording might not actually help you, as you might record noises and not be able to prove where it comes from. The same applies for renting an acoustic sniper localization system- it might direct you somewhere but not really help find the source

Is it an inherently dangerous job or is it dangerous because of how it is managed?

> I prefer cold weather and want highest standard of living possible. I want to settle down and raise a family of two kids.

While the on-paper taxes in Sweden are high (and salaries are lower) you get back more than in the Netherlands, especially with kids. I can compare my quality of life with acquaintances in the Netherlands and ours is definitely higher, having a similar background.

And many others were intercepted by Israeli Arrow missiles.

Interesting, how do you define "work" in your thoughts?

How do you see strict Socialism where everybody contributes as much as the can and get whatever they need (my improvised interpretation).

You are not getting old, you simply met reality. What you are describing is a functioning, mature and high performing company vs the opposite. It has nothing directly related to Agile vs Waterfall.

That's my limited experience as well

Sports in general is a big thing here in Sweden and the same way it comes only partially from tax payers' money, a lot of those activities are supported by the community and participants

I live in a suburb of Stockholm and it is like that, every neighborhood having its own ice rink, some are inhouse and some are opened, mostly free for use and divided for hours with and without hockey clubs.
