This is about light rail though, which is usually built in cities (or, at least between a city and its suburbs). So I wonder how much of the cost (for both rail and road) is for land rights.

No we’re not, you’re just in the blue zone. Us greens are quite happy.
“Team restructuring” is so much fun, you never know what you’re going to get.
Your boss’s boss now reports to a slightly different VP? Everyone is getting fired? No way to know which it’s going to be, until the end of the meeting.
Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.
Also what you’re used to.
Australia? Normal day. Norway? Catastrophic.
Where are the bridges? How do you walk from one side to the other?
Oh yeah, right, of course. But how do you even drive from one side to the other?
It is great because it allows you to eliminate bad candidates very quickly. It can’t be the only test, but it’s very useful as the first one.
A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.
Also state capitalism, the economic system of the USSR.
There’s a great test for programmers called FizzBuzz. It’s an extremely easy task - print some numbers (maybe 1 to 100), but replace them with Fizz if they’re divisible by 3, by Buzz if they’re divisible by 5, or by FizzBuzz if they’re both.
Many reasonable people consider it way too easy - if you can write this, it doesn’t mean that you can write complex programs, or that you know the applicable languages, or that you know anything about the business domain.
But interviewers know that it’s a great test because a lot of so-called programmers still fail it.
“free markets”, the fundamental ideology of capitalism
Wrong already. The fundamental ideology of capitalism is that people with capital reap the profits (through control of means of production, but also means of living). You can shorten that to “rich get richer”. But nothing related to markets.
In fact, there were several instances of capitalist economies without a free market. Nazi Germany comes to mind - the government bought weapons, supplies, and everything else, but they were contracted from private corporations controlled only by “desirable” individuals. Other wartime economies apply here too, to a lesser degree - with rationing but still private ownership.
And yes, capitalists are always afraid of a genuinely free market, because they don’t want competition.
The two cases were “do (meaning ‘emulate’) their economy and policies” and “do (meaning ‘have sex with’) their people”. No “have” anywhere.
Do you understand that a law banning slavery is a piece of regulation? Would you agree that society is more free with that regulation, or less free?
The same logic applies here. The market is free when everyone can freely participate in it. Which means that we have to stop (regulate) those who want to prevent people from participating (i.e. monopolists).
Read the comment that I replied to. It does not say “have”, but “do”.
They didn’t say “be” Scandinavia, but “do”.
I actually don’t know, neither happened so far. Let’s find out.
Do you mean their economy and policies, or their people? In either case, I agree.
Socialized anything is not socialism either. It’s just social policies.
Equal distribution is not socialism either.
More vulnerable, probably yes. Phones are very locked down and secured (unless you root or install custom firmware).
But, they are still worse for privacy due to how they’re used. The phone (and thus Google and Apple and Facebook and others) has access to your location all the time - your computer doesn’t. The computer is only vulnerable when on - the phone is always on.
The threats are different and from different sources. Random hackers mining shitcoins on your computer, big companies knowing what you’re doing when you carry your phone.
