Sounds like a holiday would do you good. No use becoming burnt out from not taking holidays. Luckily IT companies can often manage a few days without you. Best of luck with the startup and do enjoy vacations, or at least long weekends, from

You have a right to take it during that summer period. You don't have to but your employer are not required to grant you four weeks of uninterrupted vacation during say November. Many Swedes have summer houses that they go to during th

A Swedish perspective: By law you are granted 25 days vacation per year, assuming you have worked enough to "earn them", generally you get 12.5-13.x% extra salary per day worked that goes towards your vacation. The law also says t

No, you are making your opinion seem far worse by not even bothering to explain your reasoning. You make it sound like you would be a victim. HN may be biased in it's views by and large but if you don't even try to explain yoursel

What is your core competency? A self-hosted wordpress does take time to maintain, security updates and what not. If I were to host a company blog (With no particular privacy concerns) I would probably use something like WPEngine.com. The co

Storing knowledge is a bit tricky. For a starter you have to consider the types of knowledge. Most commonly you talk about tacit[0] and explicit[1] knowledge. Tacit knowledge is hard to communicate by writing or even verbally. Rather it is

That is a fair point, and it will be interesting to see how Facebook will deal with "feed pollution".

There are privacy concerns but overall I think it is a splendid idea, both for Facebook and for the businesses that choose to join. Your run of the mill free wifi is neither secure nor private to begin with and I don't see Facebook Wif

Gold is also a lot more volatile than most currencies, which in turn makes it less suitable as a currency than dollars or euros. A trait gold shares with bitcoin. The volatility makes it terrible as a currency, not to mention the expected r

At least some of the emails weren't even private. I saw an example of one of the politicians who got their identity 'leaked'. The email she used for the Disqus comments was listed on her official municipality contact page.

It gets a bit awkward when you comment on racist/anti-immigration websites with your (at least semi public) email while you represent a far right party that officially has a zero tolerance on racism. The party has its roots in the skin
