The private keys in BankID are stored in users phones, not centrally.

Only for stationary cameras. Filming/photographing with a non-stationary camera is allowed as long as it is not in a sensitive situation (in their home, in the toilet/changing room/etc).

Similar, but at least headphones uses fewer of your senses

You didn't even mention the music!

Do you not believe that mental well being is affected by loneliness? And that mental well being could affect mortality?

You might be right but I also think writing down your goals can be useful if you want to achieve them.

It says in the wikipedia article that the quote comes from the show.

Ok, but all plants have leaves so you would only have to agree on what a plant is. You are trying to make a point but it makes no sense.

EDIT: you could also have totally separate definitions on what wood and leaves are without talking about trees or plants, don't you think?

When I do dig instagram.com I get an A response for this IP: 31.13.65.174 or similar addresses, which leads to an empty page.

The celebrity nudes (if you're referring to the fappening) were mainly phishing attacks from someone claiming to be icloud.

I believe this episode talks about it: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/34/

I bought a Kobo Aura in 2013 or 2014. It handles epubs/mobis perfectly while PDFs are a terrible experience, but what impresses me is that the device works just as well as it did 8 years ago. The battery life is weeks or a month, the (modest) performance feels as good as when I bought it and no updates has screwed it up. I guess it is because it specializes in one specific task and tries to be nothing else than just that.

I feel a bit confused about what you mean with that it is not about wealth. If two people wants to live in a place as much and they both are ready to give 30% of their net income, the richer one would get the apartment in a system with no rent control, right? Your point only makes sense if everyone had the same net income.

Secondly, why is the merit of high income more valuable than waiting in the line for longest time? None of them is a lottery in my opinion.

I think rent control and where poor people live has nothing in common.

So you really think there is no connection between housing politics and segregation?

All you're doing with rent control is to give incentiment for people to hold on to their contracts no matter what, cheat the system or buy/sell contracts illegally

Holding on to a contract is not necessarily a bad thing, if you enjoy living in your apartment and it is priced according to its size (giving incitament to switch to a smaller one if you don't need a big one anymore). Of course people try to cheat the system, but it is illegal ... and tenants paying illegally high rents can take the contract owner to court and get all excess rent back.

Even worse is the situation if you buy apartments, you cannot rent it out to whomever you want or for how long you want since you don't really own it.

This has nothing to do with rent control and depends on which BRF you live in. Considering the lack of interest for äganderätter I'm not sure if so many people are with you on this opinion.

I think there is an ideological difference. I saw in another of your comments that you only want to live in the city center of Stockholm, and that you could pay a high rent for that. This could lead to a city where all the rich live in the city center and all the poor live far out in the suburbs (probably past the subway line), and travel into the city center to work. This is in my opinion not a good society (even for the rich, considering that segregation is expensive for a welfare society). My ideological conviction is that a less segregated city is better, and that both rich and poor should live in the city center. Having both rentals (at different rent levels) and owned apartments mixed is a good way to make this happen. What is your idea of how housing should look like in Stockholm?

Number of apartments being built has increased by a multiple of five during the last 10 years (25 000 apartments per year now [1]). During this time, no rent control was removed. Newly built apartments already have (for most young swedes) a high rent (around 10k SEK / 1.15K USD for 50-60m2). If you can accept an apartment 45 min from Stockholms inner city it will be cheaper and easier to get, [2] is the housing queue filtered for newly built apartments.

I fail to see why removing rent control would lead to anything else than higher rents. If the housing companies can take a higher rent they will do it, and sure, perhaps build more apartments for a while. But from their perspective, wouldn't it be stupid to build cheap apartments for young swedes outside of the city center when that 1. would lead to less housing shortage (less demand in relation to supply) and 2. give less profit than fancy apartments closer the the city center.

In my opinion, the best way to solve the housing shortage is to build apartments, and if the apartments built by the private sector are too expensive for young people, the state has to either subsidize or build their own apartments.

It is possible to reach youtube in incognito mode, so it seems to be a google accounts issue.

"You deserve to be poor because you don’t work hard."

I wonder how they can allow themselves to be rich if they don't work?

No, the report says nothing like that. It says that immigrants have a 4.5 times higher possibility of being suspscted of rape. This does not mean that 85% of all rape cases are committed by non-western immigrants. This is of course troubling though.

Some families send the strongest/healthiest male in the family since the trip to Europe is so dangerous, but the families often come afterwards. It's easier for them to come legally if they already have a family member in the country.

During the first half of 2015, 2000 women and 4500 men came as refugees to Sweden from Syria, but 3100 women and 2000 men came afterwards as asylum searching family members. In total ~5300 women and ~6800 men (including working visas) came to Sweden from Syria.

I wonder, do you think people from non-western countries has a bigger potential of commiting rape? How different do you think the values of these people are compared to "us"?

Hi! Neat project, but hasn't iOS got a similar function built in already, where you can see all the pictures you took on a map?

But what if there is a natural disaster like a Tsunami (not in Norway of course..) or a storm, or what if Norway is attacked by Sweden. Would a mobile network work in those situations, or would radio be better?

Yeah, what are you supposed to do if you want to charge it at the same time as you are using a usb-device? I guess a USB hub, but that is not preferable. :/

However, fewer ports is the future and most devices are available wireless. Furthermore the MBA is not really supposed to be a stationary computer.

Well, since it's a crypto-currency, maybe something cryptographic? But I see the point, people associate currencies with coins.

I also had this effect, my macbook keyboard don't look like it used to..

Here is one example, journalists.

Yes, but if you pay a hitman to kill someone, you don't blame the phone company for which you used to contact the hitman.

No I wouldn't, but this is not a party so you're making a really weird comparison. This is about an organisation with great power in Sweden that tries to stop piracy, they should know what they are talking about. Let me make a comparison instead; saying that The pirate bay uploads illegal files to their site is like saying that google uploads thousands of porn sites and torrents to their site, when they are just uploading links. Should google stop displaying links to thepiratebay, streaming sites and Bittorrent and god knows what?

The organisation that reported Thepiratebay and therefore is the reason for this raid is called Rättighetsalliansen (The Alliance of Rights). The Alliance of Rights is the same organisation as The Anti Pirate Bureau but with a new name. This is what they say on their website (roughly translated):

"The police raided The Pirate Bay today inside an Internet company in the Stockholm region. Rättighetsalliansen is behind the report against The Pirate Bay.

- Pirate Bay is an illegal commercial service that makes great sums of money by putting up other peoples movies and music on their site. The producers wont get payed for their work and the legal services growth gets prevented, says Henrik Pontén, lawyer at Rättighetsalliansen."

In other words they don't now what they are talking about. Thepiratebay is not putting up any files on thepiratebay.org, the users are (of course nothing is even uploaded, only seeded from user to user). I can recommend the documentary about The piratebay, TPB AFK where you will meet Henrik Pontén from the Anti Piracy Bureau among others.

EDIT: I think their website crashed.

Yes it is, kopimism is a recognized religion. But it is a minority religion treated quite badly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary_Church_of_Kopimism

Could anyone care to explain how this works?
