http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article23165235.ab Due to shortages of police, Swedish police recruitment will now start to accept aspirants that are below normal talent in general problem solving. One would think that maybe, they could instead increase the amount of trained police officers on the street by not spending years upon years shuffling them into administrative duties formerly done by non police officers, but apparently that is out of the question and tasks like passport renewal can not be done by ordinary workers.

A Buttery Pastry posted:It's because the thread is dominated by citizens of Sweden, a country which has a fault line built into its very foundation. They might not be consciously aware of the fact, but the ancestral feud between Swedes and Geats simmers just beneath the surface. Gaetish blood is very much like herpes simplex, when under stress it can surface abruptly and somewhat predictably, but instead of cold sores popping up at nerve endings you end up with a thirst for regional separatism and unbridled Stockholm hate.

I'd be careful about conflating the two. Reallly? Because then the scale must have been way different. I literally nerver encountered beggars in the city center, except a few "regulars", until that EU expansion happened. We have had lots of homeless people, but they were not begging actively on the street for some reson.

MiddleOne posted:Just tells me that living in the urban part of Sweden and having a journalist degree skews towards certain conclusions about society. Just like I'd expect someone with an engineering degree to skew towards policies based on rationalism and cultural students to skew towards those based on structuralism. I'm more concerned about outcome in this regard and SR is way better than anyone else (including SVT) due to their decentralized structure and at sometimes absurdly high regard for the un-partisan work-ethic. DN, SVD and Dagens Samhäll do okay in this regard as well (disregarding opinion pieces of course) but not as well. You could use the same reasoning to explain high SD percentage in the police force, but it is still the same problematic as vital democratic functions are highly skewed in one policy direction and thus risk disenfranchising a significant part of the voter base that do not share those political leanings.

Especially if you come from a country where you have a different perspective on distance. 1h commute by car gives you lots of cheaper options yes, if you can suffer through 1h drive each way you are usually down to sub million prices again, and if you are OK with 1-1.5h commutes by public transport you can usually find the same price range. But it will still be +500k SEK or so and not the 100k SEK in Tidaholm. Zudgemud fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Dec 1, 2016 |

Most of Gothenburg is placed on rocks and hills, only parts around the very city center is placed on recent riverbed or river associated swamp land.

MiddleOne posted:You don't think the city centre constitutes the city? Area wise no, because it is just a tiny bit, like 95% is located on hills or on non river associated flatland that have no risk of going into the sea. Really, the terrain in Gothenburg is not a marshy delta consisting of sand banks and reed beds like Bangladesh, it is a lower fjord inlet with a rocky as hell archipelago. The marsh lands of the olden days were studded in between lots of rocks and hills and the modern city was founded upon one of these rocky outcropping and the canals of that city went between the rocky outcroppings.

Svartvit posted:The name Uppsala was moved from old Uppsala to a newer town called Eastern Aros. The old one is really old and apparently used to be a King's seat. There's a museum there now. No, Lödöse was a separate town to Gothenburg, it was the most western town of Sweden and was quite old. However, it was deemed too far upstream of the river to be safe from Danish control of the river inlet which was the only way to avoid Danish taxes, on top of this it was badly placed for defense and was burned down by the Danes a few times, so the king forcefully evacuated most people and moved them downstream to what is now known as "Gamlestan" which is significantly to the east and further upstream of the current city center. This was also deemed to be a lovely location, most likely because it was torched by the Danes several times. Thus it was yet again moved further downstream to some steep rocks in the swamp overlooking the river inlet, this is where the current city center is located. Finally they had found a more defensible position! That did little to discourage the Danes though, as they kept on burning all that poo poo down for centuries to come!

Well you could make the argument that S lost their voters to M/alliansen because of the rebranding of M and the general drift to the center of all sides. These voters could then have gone to SD. But there is no data that supports this at the moment, even though it is a perfectly valid theory. Edit: The self reported biases for those that does not want to find it themselves. quote:Vilka som väljer att vara med och svara på blanketten påverkas av sociala bakgrundsförhållanden. Det har visat sig att det finns en systematisk underrepresentation av äldre väljare och arbetare, och en systematisk överrepresentation av yngre väljare och tjänstemän.

Poil posted:Holy gently caress that's going to raise costs of upgrading computers with an extra few hundred sek on freaking everything. Not that many hardware components that weigh more than a kilo nowadays. And from personal experience the weighty parts such as chassis and power supply have quite some longevity. It surely will add up with time though, especially if you are one of those that upgrades constantly to sit at the bleeding edge of performance. I think would be an ok tax in theory for steering the market towards less bulky tech. But for that it will be utterly useless if it applies to Sweden only, and I bet it will make some specific items, barely containing electronics, stupidly expensive.

The general job opportunities are pretty bad in Umeå region compared to the Stockholm region though, especially if you are two adults with university degrees. And it is only logical that companies locate themselves close to sources of labor and logistics hubs unless they are directly involved in natural resource extraction. The fact that the bulk of the population will have no established social network in place and might have an issue with the whole "more cold and darkness" will also contribute in making it a harder sell in Umeå's case.

Well, or anything for that matter... Solar energy in Sweden IS a positive thing, at least for owners of free standing homes. It usually pays itself back in a decade in the southern part of Sweden where the vast majority of population reside. It also provide backup power in case of outages which combined with the current economics make it a decent investment considering the ownership times. For industry, apartments or general baseload yeah it will not do much of anything.

Some determined fucker can even drive-by-knife people from his bike if he wants to, if not simply jogging up to them by foot. It's just a waste of resources to try and prevent these things with anything else than preemptive actions such as surveillance and other general and targeted actions aimed to prevent radicalization.

Alhazred posted:And my beef isn't with spotify alone. but spotify still isn't paying that much to the rights holders (which means that the artists themselves gets even less). You have to be an artist like Drake or Rihanna to actually make money by being on spotify. No, you have to be Drake or Rhianna to make more than 70 million per year from Spotify as per that article. And it is pretty dumb to think that just because you are a random folk-pop artist you deserve to get paid in similar amounts by Spotify. Spotify is not supposed to generate the bulk of income for the vast majority of artists, it is supposed to be one revenue stream out of several and a way to spread your work so that you can get a positive multiplier on other revenue streams. Not every genre or artist is fit for the kind of economy of scale that Spotify embodies, just as IKEA is not the place to go if you want personal or custom furniture.
