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 n…

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 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 ch…

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 r…

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 beca…

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 aver…

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 b…

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 sm…

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…

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. Directi…

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 provider…

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 persona…

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 ha…

> But I’ve never heard the word “depression” from her even once. Then you look at today’s younger generations, and you see it everywhere. Reminds me of Act 2 from this “This Americ…

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 …

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 whic…

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…

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…

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+ …

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 c…
