Not quite sure where these numbers were pulled from but the median Swedish salary for men are at $40482.89/yr and women at $36687.6/yr, the median of that is 38585.24 in total. Not sure that I can trust anything from this article.
Re:The earth is flat! WTF? on Monday August 31, 2015 @09:51AM (#10146778)
I've seen religious freaks all over the net promoting this. But seriously? Once who have ever say in a plane have seen that the horizon isn't flat. It's curved. And if the earth were to be flat, how would the satellites stay up? Wouldn't possible to orbit something that's shaped in that way. But then I guess space travel is just bogus according to the religious freaks as well.

Re:Ask HN: Why are phones getting larger? on Tuesday May 19, 2015 @07:50PM (#9573873)
I agree, the phones should still be phones and not tablets. If a customer want a tablet - buy a tablet. If they want a phone - buy a phone.

On the other hand what Apple made with the 6/6+ is a decent solution even though personally I believe the iPhone 6 to be slightly too big as well. Had to purchase a silicon case just to get a firm grip when holding it.

Re:What it’s like living in the coldest town on Earth on Monday January 12, 2015 @11:45AM (#8874828)
Sounds just like the 10.000 other cities near/over the polar circle. And seriously, you don't keep your cars running 24/7 there are block heaters although this sounds like a very undeveloped place. Are you sure they're not Eskimos and ride around with their sleds? Eat what they hunt(there for frozen)? I've lived in areas where there was -30-45c for months straight and sure plumbing froze unless u let the water drip. Cars hard to start unless you use the block heater. But the rest just sounds like plain bullshit.

Re:What if there were a $1M bounty per new security bug? on Sunday April 13, 2014 @12:34PM (#7581809)
Where would these freeware/open source projects get several millions from to pay as bounties...
Know a few of these features already been mentioned, but after trying it out...

The upload proximitor gets stuck, so it's not possible to start another recording unless you restart recordit.

The player doesn't scale it to fit on screen, unless you use full screen.

The possibility to delete what you have uploaded would be great. And possibly password protect it.

looks a bit like the "Bouncer" game for Nokia.

Re:Ask HN: Has anyone used Flippa.com for domain sale on Thursday February 06, 2014 @06:46AM (#7189856)
I've used it a few times, but some of the buyers are less serious and look to rent the domain and so on, which ends up in the ending the contract basically when ur ad expire, ending in you without a sale.

Re:Show HN: Dead simple photo sharing on Saturday December 14, 2013 @02:26PM (#6906739)
The layout for "Allow others to add photos to this album?" option doesn't seem very natural. Personally, I first tried to click Yes to toggle it on/off took me about 10s or so to see that it actually was 1 yes and 1 no button, naturally I thought it was 2 different settings.

But yeah might just be because I'm so used to iOS but who knows.

When I try to get a full-size version of my picture after uploading it I get an error message:

"We're sorry, but something went wrong.

If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.

This is interesting, many of the people I talk with believes that the browser is "internet". Which makes me giggle a bit inside everytime.

Re:Ask HN: Jailbreak Apple TV 3 on Tuesday August 06, 2013 @05:40AM (#6165639)
It's a mixture of both I guess. While I want XMBC etc. I also would want the ability to do what I want with my own products.

Ask HN: Jailbreak Apple TV 3

Does anyone know if it's possible? I've looked around for a bit. The more famous sites like redmonpie says it's not out yet. A lot of smaller more shady sites says it's possible. So where do we stand? Possible or not?

Re:IRS Exposes SSNs in Database of Public Tax Filings on Thursday July 11, 2013 @03:13PM (#6028444)
Don't really see why this would be something to actually care about, many countries publish SSN's publicly.
Re:Hospital creates bidding war by posting pricing online on Wednesday July 10, 2013 @03:21AM (#6017957)
I can't really see how charging this much to ease people's suffering is humanly possible. Sure Surgery Center was a lot cheaper than the rest, but even that is still expensive. For example, if I want to gosurgery center and get an brain/heart surgery, I'd be looking at possibly $500 in overnight fees but not really anything else.

How is anyone inhumane enough to start a business like these hospitals? Any medical care should be available to everyone. Breaking a finger shouldn't cost $2805 either. Countries like USA think they're superiour but yet they do not help their fellow citizens. If they would drop the war on the rest of the world(incl their own) they would probably afford to provide free medical care as well.

ASK HN: Should TV stay as it is?

I wonder... And have wondered for quite a while, why does the tv-channels/companies work as they've done for almost 100 years?In Sweden we have an fee called Radiotjänst which everyone in Sweden has to pay monthly(they say it's optional but if you own a tv-receiver you have to pay. TV-receiver according to them = TV, smartphones, tablets, internet, computers yea everyone ha to pay it). Then...

Has this new petition system actually made a difference? Has the goverment actually listened to an petition and formed a law or proposition around it? This is what it's about isn't it? Not just make up some lame story about a fix that never going to solve the issue.

The imperial system is quite flawed. Measuring using yards, feet etc is childish and it's in my mind not logical anywhere.

10 mm = 1 cm, 100 cm = 1 meter. vs 12 inch = 1 fot, 3 fot = 1 yard? wut?

The metric system must be alot easier to learn as a child as well. Just my opinion.

Re:Eurovision Song Contest won by Denmark on Saturday May 18, 2013 @07:20PM (#5730857)
This contest has became a joke. Loreen who didn't just win last year. But got the highest amount of points possible and also the only one ever to get it. She had to cancel her conserts because nobody wanted to go to them. That about summarize the total of all crap in that contest.

The #1 ever, cant even host a consert.

Re:Prevent users from sharing their login information on Thursday May 16, 2013 @05:30PM (#5721284)
1 session per account is pretty useful, that way it's less likely users will borrow their account to other people. IP restrictions is another soloution.
