@ScreenName72 @ekonomigurun_ Dussintalls ej byggda laddstationer talar emot vad du säger, dessvärre.

@ekonomigurun_ Sanningen är att facket inte kan tvinga amerikanska bolag till att ha kollektivavtal. Det finns andra exempel än Tesla där bolag har skickat ett gäng advokater och bett facket dra åt helvete. Facket kan inte göra ett skit och "den svenska modellen" är lika tandlös som folkrätten.

Tesla vinner mot fackmaffian i Arbetsdomstolen 🥳 Tvisten i detta fall handlade om bolaget har brutit mot 19 a § i medbestämmandelagen genom att inte fortlöpande informera förbundet om verksamhetens utveckling och personalpolitik vid anläggningen i Malmö. Men en oenig domstol ger Tesla rätt.

@trq212 It would be very neat to have general access to this - what are the risks you see to that? I have my own wrapper built on top of my Claude Code setup that would benefit significantly from not having to OCR terminal screenshots anymore.. :)

This is a research preview that we'll be expanding more on. Read more in our docs on Channels here: code.claude.com/docs/en/channe…

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

Wait. They want Ukraines help shooting down Iranian drones? Ukraine should send: 5 interceptors (to be delivered in 3 months). No operators (would cross red lines). Best wishes. Condemnations of Irans actions.

@PeterMcCormack As some rocket man said: "Why not both?"

Two outcomes for AI: 1. Large-scale job displacement and economic hardship. 2. Massive productivity gains and widespread new opportunity. Right now, our government does not have a plan for either scenario.

So Netanyahu now decides when we go to war? So much for America First.

The administration admits 🇮🇱 dragged us into the 🇮🇷 war that’s already cost too many American lives and billions of dollars. Before it’s over, the price of gas, groceries, and virtually everything else is going to go up. The only winners in 🇺🇸 are defense company shareholders.

@McFaul x.com/carlbildt/stat… Because Israel decided to take out the Iranian leadership. That's it.

Why did we go to war with Iran again? I’ve lost the thread.

So after all the hooh-hah and economic coercion of the last decade, China may finally succeed in getting the THAADs out of South Korea ... just not quite in the way it expected! (Seriously, anyone who thinks Beijing is cowering. miserable, and back on its heels because of American strategic genius in the Middle East is delusional. If this kind of thing keeps up, Beijing should be quite pleased, actually.)

Senator Mark Warner is one of the ”gang of 8” in 🇺🇸 congress having access to all intelligence, and also a thoughtful man. He’s always worth listening to.

An alternative course of action would have been to persuade the Israelis not to strike.

Dilemma for Gulf policymakers right now: The war has already had serious costs (lives lost, economic/reputational damage). If it continues for 4-5 weeks costs could mount significantly: hits to critical infrastructure, energy-price shocks But if it ends now, this is the situation you're left with: - a wounded and angry Iranian regime will probably endure - forget about detente with that regime. You tried that for several years and pushed for diplomacy pre-war, only to be attacked. Relations will be hostile - the regime will learn that lashing out at Gulf states is an effective way to compel a change in American behavior. If and when another breaks out, Iran will hit you even harder Neither is a good choice: a lengthy and increasingly painful war, or a prolonged hostage situation with your neighbor across the Gulf

The White House appears to have gone in flat-footed. The surprise is gone, and what’s already been set in motion may be harder to contain. Sending more assets now only risks widening the escalation even further. Never seen anything like it.

Secretary Rubio 🇺🇸 in his description of what lead to the decision to go to war is clear that the trigger de facto was pulled by 🇮🇱. And then 🇺🇸 didn’t have much of a choice.

The U.S. is planning to move THAAD systems meant to protect against China to the Middle East, according to South Korean media. I am not getting the warm and fuzzy "everything is going according to plan" feeling. chosun.com/english/nation…

‼️MIDDLE EAST WAR EXPLAINED: A VERY INTERESTING EXPLANATION FROM ZELENSKYY OF WHAT THE WAR IN IRAN COULD LOOK LIKE IF IT DOESN’T STOP SOON "Right now we're seeing a massive attack. We talked about this. The world isn't ready. No Patriot air defense systems, even with as many batteries as the Middle East has, could withstand the number of Shaheds that Ukraine handles today. Why? Well, because 300, 500 is just impossible. There aren't that many missiles. Yes, Middle Eastern countries are wealthy, they have stockpiles, they have a lot, but eventually it all runs out. And how many PAC-3 anti-ballistic missiles are produced worldwide? 50-60 per month are produced in the United States. The largest primary manufacturer of these missiles. So this is a serious challenge. We need different weapons, we need to know how aviation fights drones, the experience that Ukrainians have. We need mobile fire groups, interceptor drones, the right systems and systems - what we have, - we change systems every six months, well, problems arise every year or two, and sometimes every three months at certain facilities - electronic systems, electronic warfare, radio-electronic warfare. Who in peacetime in the relevant countries we're talking about, who will be changing electronic warfare systems every six months? No one will. Of course, today they work, but in six months with new technologies, they no longer work. A very, very big challenge", - Zelenskyy on Mon, Mar 2nd

Is the US actually that business friendly? I set up a Delaware topco last year. Swedish OpCo underneath. The public sentiment then was "America is incredible for business, Europe is a nightmare." Here's the honest take: The start was great: Incorporation was fast and painless. We didn't even provide ID or passports, which felt almost too easy. No real background check? Mercury gave us a bank account almost instantly. Shoutout @immad. In Sweden that can take weeks for KYC reasons Then things got weird: To register shares for the founding team, we had to send physical UPS letters to a Texas IRS office and wait for them to come back stamped. In Sweden you do this online in two minutes We got our EIN number, but needed the original sent by mail or fax for banking purposes. Mail. Or fax As foreigners, we couldn't even use the IRS online application at all And when the online system IS available, it has restricted hours. A website. With opening hours Then the US government went into shutdown. Everything froze. 40 day wait. Banking put on hold Accounting is a similar story. The US feels 20 years behind Sweden, where everything is online and accessible via BankID All of this drives huge professional services spend Lawyers and accountants just to navigate bureaucracy that shouldn't exist The US wins 0 to 1. Fast, frictionless, incredible private infrastructure But Sweden wins on steady state. More digitized public services, lower compliance overhead, less nonsense. I love America, but "America is so business friendly" is half true. Depends which half of building a company you're talking about

Rumsfeld: "I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today would last five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't gonna last any longer than that." Hegseth: " It may or may not take four weeks, two weeks, six weeks. It could move up, it could move back."
