Care takers have been forced to work with symptoms, and there's even one known case where a woman went to work at her care home after testing positive for covid-19 and staying quiet about it.

This would not have changed with a different strategy.

Doesn't change the fact that the high death toll have been among the part of the population that were in fact in quarantine and would most likely have been the same had Sweden chosen a more common tactic.

90% of all covid-19 deaths in Sweden have been people over the age of 70 [1] which is the only group of the population which have been quarantined. So it's arguable what difference a nation wide quarantine would have made.

Of those over 70, half of the deaths were in care homes and another 26% had home care [2].

Many of the workers in care homes have reported that their companies/bosses won't allow them to stay home when they're showing symptoms and some have been forced to work without protective equipment.

There have "only" been 42 deaths under the age of 50 [2].

Surprisingly many sites also change the content and layout of the site completely. Nvidia for instance turns from a site with company news and a clear path to download your drivers on the US site, to essentially an online store as it defaults to Swedish. The link to download drivers is then moved from the top of the site to the very bottom, where a link to the UK download site is discretely placed.

I particularly enjoy that they've kept the ability to mute single tabs by clicking on the speaker icon on the tab which google recently removed from Chrome and not having to go into the flags settings and switch the "mute site" right-click option to "mute tab".

Feels like a snappier Chrome with better video playback.

It was sort of hailed as a possible antibiotics of the mind before the war on drugs started and basically all research was halted.

I think it's likely that that's what caused the bad rep more so than how the dealers mixed it. All drugs that were used in a recreational way was deemed as bad.

I'm not entirely sure how this works but I would think the developers of BattlEye decides and develops what it reacts to and not the PUBG developers? Why else would you use a third party solution?

It absolutely does, although in my personal experience far, far more rarely. And even if that person was sitting remotely at their own hours you’ld then have to wait for them to get ”to work” and then do that higher-priority task and then get to your request so the overhead is still waaaaay bigger.

Doesn't really help to know peoples hours. If they're not overlapping with yours then you have a potentially crazy overhead on time it takes to get responses to issues that could hold up your work completely.

May I please take this opportunity to ask everyone to never ever consider forcing smooth scrolling upon the visitors of their websites.

Smooth scrolling is enabled by default in browsers and as a user I've therefor actively opted out of that behaviour because I genuinely dislike it and feel that it destroys my user experience. By forcing that experience on me I will have the same feelings towards your website.

If you're being asked to work outside of office hours alot, then no matter what your job or position is your company has an efficiency problem and that's something that should be addressed for the good of the company.

If you're changing jobs alot because you can't find one that suits your needs then you should be more aggressive and thorough in your search. Let those companies court you, not the other way around, and get everything you're hired to do written into your contract. If you're changing jobs that often just because you're supposed to in order to be considered successful then that's probably the biggest problem.

Freelancing is an option I guess, aswell as starting your own company without the intention to sell. That still makes for alot of work on the business side of things though.

Lastly, you seem like a guy who doesn't have too much trouble finding a job so risking your job by saying no seems like a small risk to take considering what you could gain. Also I'ld say that 9 out of 10 times you're just calling their bluff. You are an investment for any employer. If they lose you after 1-2 years they've basically thrown every penny they've ever given you out the window.

I think you mean to say that users of Tor are potentially vulnerable to NSA and GCHQ attacks. Specifically, they lack the capability to deanonymize individual targets upon request and according to the slides leaked by Snowden they are only able to deanonymize a very small fraction of the traffic and usually have to rely on attacking surrounding software, such as the Firefox browser bundled with Tor.
