This is definitely not an AT-4, it’s an NLAW guided missile. AT-4s are much simpler & unguided — but still very effective weapons.

The NLAW was itself co-developed by Sweden and the UK, and is known in Sweden as the RB-57 [1]. They are manufactured by Thales Air Defence in Belfast, Northern Ireland, using parts supplied by a variety of sub-contractors which include Saab of Sweden.

Thanks. I'm glad someone knows these things better than I do. I'm also happy (and sad) that someone else will have to do the dirty job of firing these beasts.

Thanks!

...perhaps I should add that by "Swedish" I also meant SAAB weapons.

My biggest question is the combination of an extremely short wheelbase, small wheel diameter and, perhaps more importantly, the negative fork offset and the steep head tube angle. It seems it would be extremely easy to get thrown over the handlebars when hitting an obstacle... What's your reasoning behind this geo? Is it only space saving?

First of all: The fork offset is needed to obtain the same trail as with a normal bike. Large wheels need to bend the fork forward in order to reduce the natural trail for easier steering. Small wheels need to bend the fork backwards in order to get the same effect, because the natural trail of small wheels is to small. Just look on a shopping cart. The fork of the steering wheels is bent backwards too.

On Kwiggle you ride upright with a small wheelbase. So you have to adjust a little bit and you should pay a little bit more attention to the road. We have so many customers who have mastered that with bravour, so we stopped worrying about it.

Only with this small wheelbase it is possible to get a bicycle folded to handluggage size.

Thanks for taking the time!

Quite simple. You just facilitated Twitter's data collection. Without you it would not have happened.

Even worse, the user loading your page could probably not have known you embedded a Tweet (and sent their data to Twitter) before actually loading the page (if you didn't implement a consent dialog with a reject option).

How could that possibly be a nightmare? Download the fonts and host them yourself.

What if they could go for the companies building these standardized GDPR cookie consent dialogs instead...

Which, sometimes, also illegal. Trustarc for example.

Thank you, just what I was thinking!

> If anything, you should list that by inseam.

What you want to measure is the PBH (pubic bone height). It is very precise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yxZkHpAB4g

Yes, that's how any pro or aspiring bike store will size your bike.

Oh shit, that's a grim reality. :(

Weather in SF seems nice, but when it comes to bike commuting I'm happy to be in Scandinavia.

> The outcome of that is you'll chew through your front pads and rims much more quickly than your rear.

Most contemporary bikes have disc brakes (breaking won't chew on your rim) and wearing through the front pads faster than the rear pads can't really be considered to be a problem, can it?

I think 75-85% of the bikes I see around here (UK) still have rim brakes not discs. They're cheaper.

Oh my gosh. Buy a Eizo CG-line monitor if you're shopping at this price. Built in hardware calibration and very good gray uniformity. No, not 5k but quite frankly I don't have a preference between UHD and 2560x1440 for photography, video and general use. True colors reign.

If all you want is a low-resolution monitor with good color calibration you can pick up an old Cinema Display for a couple hundred bucks that will do the same thing.

Not really. Those things were TN and they had CCFL backlight which yellows over time.

You must be thinking of another brand. Apple has never sold a Cinema Display with a TN panel, and the later ones were LED backlit.

Really? I thought IPS didn't even exist in those days.

But I still doubt they manage the same quality and colour depth as a current midrange display. I have some old Eizos from that era and they're no match for my 200 euro 4K LG.

They weren't IPS though but PVA..

The original cinema ones were IPS with ccfl that get hot enough to cook with.

When we replaced all of our Cinema displays and 2010-2012 iMacs, the next big request that followed was for space heaters.

I believe that, I had two of the 30in variety (150w a pop) - in the summer I had to run a fan across them to not feel like a rotisserie chicken.

I'm not sure you know how built-in hardware calibration works. A built-in arm on the CG swings out at a set interval and automatically creates a LUT for the screen.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. I purchased a Eizo CS monitor and I couldn't be happier

For coding, I'd take high resolution than accurate color, without thinking. So it depends on use case.

So 5k2k or 8k?

It's difficult question. Assume 5k2k 40inch (U4021QW) vs 8K 32inch (almost same height); 5k2k is great aspect ratio for single monitor setup, but dpi is moderate. 8k 32inch is too much dpi for 200% HiDPI. 8k 40inch is sweet spot for 200% but it's too big for monitor. Maybe I'd take 8K 32inch and use with 250% HiDPI, if prices are same.

If your customer is in the public sector that is probably the case.

Mandatory reading is some info on Schrems II. Starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Schrems#Schrems_II

Also can be useful for keeping track of these rulings

Nyob is one of the roups raising these issues with the EU data protections groups

Great! Rulings are one thing. I can however add that despite rulings, there's extensive work being done at Sweden's governmental agencies and municipalities to replace USA hosted services. The city of Stockholm (40 000 workers and countless students) just recently said no to Office 365 partly because of Schrems II.

Similar things are happening in other countries:

If you want to stay ahead and will have customers in the public sector in the EU, you should probably consider hosting within the EU.
