The worst part of all this, is as SSB reported that food prices increased by 6.6% year-over-year, the central bank then uses that as an excuse to to further increase the interest rate. That is adding insult to injury.

Moved to Norway and shocked at the food system.

Supermarkets are essentially big corner shops.

Processed slop, tinned/packaged stuff everywhere, while fish, chicken beef, fruit/veg are very expensive.

Around 50% of all food sold in Norway is now ultraprocessed

@Thomashornall @kleppe_kristian I agree. In my neighbourhood most shop at either Rema1000 or Kiwi. We do go to Coop and Meny occasionally but for the daily milk/egg/bread there is not much need to. Having lived in Norway long enough and other countries long enough, I do agree that the protectionism hurts here.

@akkavare @hagaetc How come only the Swedes and Norwegians drank themselves to death but the Danes didn't?

[Jiang Jiang @jjgod]

@MortenStostad While these numbers seem right, but the effect of the wealth tax discouraging people to launch startups and gain more wealth is harder to measure, isn’t it? I always think that plays a factor in the amount of startups in Sweden vs. Norway.

@unixzii Perhaps file a feedback with the sample app so that we can profile and tell what is taking the time? I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that SwiftUI is the cause so quickly.

@yllan 现在Tern新出的Quick Haul Long还挺好的，可以坐两个小孩，价格也比GSD便宜很多，我们用了GSD和Quick Haul很多年都觉得不错。

@BergeW @Tratnikstan I’m curious what do you mean by “Norway tries it now”? The wealth tax in Norway is not new and I’m not aware of any dramatic change in its policy. It might very well be true that there are some wealth exodus but how do you find the connection?

@Lena_G_C @Minamoto66 如果没卖过那有可能是基金的分红部分需要交税，这部分应该是按普通收入交税的。如果是交易过的话，瑞典的利得税率也比较低一点，比大部分周边国家都低。

[Jiang Jiang @jjgod]

@Minamoto66 挪威收了好多年了，我们早就习惯了…

[Jiang Jiang @jjgod]

@Lena_G_C @Minamoto66 你可以查一下，瑞典是不收unrealized capital gain的。挪威是收的，和财产税一起。瑞典也没有财产税。

@FredrikHjelm4 Reading the article, it seems like the proposed wealth tax for Denmark is still significantly lower than Norway has.

@lucasaganronald And Pogačar has been telling people that he is interested in cross-country skiing...

@Lena_G_C 我们一月份的帐单还没出来，不过电价是固定5毛一度的Norgespris，每月和你这个用量差不多的话算上电网费用总共大概是瑞典价格的1/2少一点。

https://t.co/kCrVNwRbZk I found videos like these almost too easy to bash on Google Maps when you don’t have to say what alternatives do you use instead. I do use Google Maps for cycling navigation in Oslo and it is generally reliable.

@Lena_G_C 好奇既然这么便宜是怎么出现这么多贷款的？

@levelsio I’m little curious: Europeans like to complain about the unfair advantages of government subsidies, but what is stopping their governments from sponsoring their EV industries?

[Jiang Jiang @jjgod]

@JackouilleJack @levelsio I think the important part is to reach that average speed, and the breath of connections across such a large area (say, going from Berlin to Paris, the max speed gets quite close but the average speed is way lower).

@jacobtechtavern I think it is more realizing that a lot of UIKIt APIs probably should not be released in the first place, and now that we have the chance we don’t want to repeat the same mistake.
