hjalle | 3 years ago | on: Swedish pension giant loses $1.1B from US banks’ collapse
Not that I know of. However they sold their shares in the somewhat stable swedish banks Handelsbanken and Swedbank in the hunt for the more exotic, nieche bank stocks.
The CEO of Alecta even said in an interview that the 50%+ drop of "First Republic bank" isn't a loss because it hasn't been realized yet. It wouldn't surprise me if he had to leave before the week is over.

4th largest shareholder in SVB

"We have got the bitcoins and are now transferring them to the bandits. We expect that the bandits soon will decrypt the files.", yet they are really struggling to decrypt the files.

Not if the research involves the reviewing aspects of open source projects.

Quite a shitty accusation, isn't it?
Without knowing anything regarding the specific details, I would be pretty surprised if investors wouldn't be ready for both ups and downs.

Young people? They only give to living people but my impression is not that most laureates are young
Edit: 72 years in average across all prizes, although first half of 20th century was lower.

Yes, no doubt.

Funny experiment and perhaps also useful, but there are crawlers with good intentions[1] that still may ignore the disallows. I don't know of anyone else than the internet archive though.

Couldn't you get at least a simpler drive train if you only used the engine as a generator?

Almost 3 years ago the CEO (Håkan Samuelsson) said that he did not believe in pure elecric cars but rather hybrids[1]. Will be interesting to see if that still holds or if he has changed his beliefs.

Yeah, LINQPad is great! I use it for so many weird cases, everything from rather complex scraping with phantomjs to trying out things like regexs. I've saved small scripts that make it easier to get into new projects, such as making lists of files that have been changed the most and people who have the most commits etc.. Really recommend it for .NET devs.

Just over $2? 95 octane costs around $1.5 (13.5 SEK) per liter. Still a lot more than US though.
