Amex has two great perks that justifies the cost for me: - Excellent travel insurance - 15-20% discount on car rentals with Hertz and Avis, priority service including complimentary upgrades, and no extra fees for super cover Additionally th

It shouldn't, and in Sweden it obviously isn't – I think it's great! But the moment you start doing things slightly out of this norm, maybe you rent out your apartment for some time, maybe you have capital gains, maybe you we

In Sweden you used to earn interest on money in your tax account, but I think the current government removed that this year so now it's a free loan to the government. In some ways, the tax account was a better place to put money than a

They might tell, and if they do it's probably not something that's going to happen swiftly. I took a job with an employer in London who didn't get my taxes right, but I was none the wiser of course. A few months in, my tax

I'd love it if I didn't get dead tree invitations. I have nowhere to put them and I feel bad throwing them away. And also of course, dead trees.

I'm considering getting one of those LG 65" OLED TVs, after seeing one in-store and being completely blown away by the picture quality. Much like the GP I can't recall the last time I saw a display that actually wowed me, but

Also, the RFC is quite a nice read: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252 I particularly like the introduction, which succinctly explains the value in realizing a subset of REST common with HTTP, while not just blindly t

I moved to Apple Music about 6-8 months ago, but had essentially stopped using Spotify before then for many of the reasons listed above. The many changes to the iOS app, songs disappearing from playlists when moving between countries, and w

That was my immediate reaction as well. Also from the side the front half looks quite a bit like a Porsche I think.

I was thinking the same thing, and I don't know enough (or anything really) about this to comment to this, but my second thought was that this probably works like bittorrent, where you don't need all of a file to make sense of t

This article was a difficult read for me due to all the hand waving and "in the future so and so will happen." That said, I have a lot of respect for Mr. Coupland. Microserfs is still one of the best books I've ever read, and

It's too bad this targeted a language that's actually useful, as opposed to something like brainfuck. For me the joke fell flat because of it. I would've loved to see this kind of investment – alas, such are the follies of th

I don't think the video was shot with a mobile camera, but probably a DV camera typical of the day – Canon XL1 was pretty popular if I recall. These days you can record HD video on your cell phone, but a decade ago (and recall, the ori

Between Netflix, HBO, YouTube, and iTunes rentals I feel my Apple TV solves all my entertainment needs. Sports however, and in particular live sports, is a different matter altogether. I'd love to have easy pay-per-view access, as ea
