Open office schemes has been around awhile. The earliest research that, I know about, into them is by Allen & Gerstberger from 1973 [0] In essence they found that performance was roughly the same as before but the employees preferred t

The problem I see with Snapchat is that: a) currently no revenue, I imagine it is harder to monetize Snapchat than Facebook et al. But it is not my area of expertise so I can give them the benefit of the doubt that they can monetize it. b)

I can understand such frustrations (especially in light of the financial crisis) but they seem a bit naive. The system is more complex than just moving the money out of the country and funding Swedish social services with it. Sounds more li

I don't see the price mentioned anywhere in the documents published but I may have missed it. I expect that you will get a notice about the acquisition in the mail, with more details. Otherwise you can always call the CEO or CFO and as

Fair enough, but mtgox is the most famous one, so I naturally picked up news about it. That makes it somewhat better at least. 3 days is still a very long time compared to the 'real' currency exchanges.

Th problem with bitcoin, if nothing else, is that the exchange market, USD:BTC is rather illiquid. Doesn't MTGOX take forever to process the withdrawals in USD? This is a big problem that does make it a toy currency. The slow exchange

That sounds about average for Stockholm I believe. The salary will obviously be lower than freelancing rates since there are less taxes and costs to consider. You will have to make a spreadsheet or something to see what would end up being m

There might be benefits other than the wage that make up for it. I am not sure about Russian healthcare and so forth but free healthcare, education, childcare (cheap at least) and such might make up for it.

I tend to go to a forex company if I have to exchange before traveling, never do online banking for it. I am not sure how the kiosk fx companies does it but moving money around is always a risk. They can probably charge as much as they like
139.
by pathy 13y ago
The rates are always terrible, they have to make money. It probably equals out over time but having the freedom to withdraw smaller amounts without an extra charge is convenient. I am not a great fan of carrying around a lot of cash.

The answer does depend on where I am heading but in my experience I usually exchange a smaller amount at home (at a forex company) and later just withdraw from ATMs. This is especially convenient if you got a debit/credit card with no

From the article: "According to the latest data we have, 24.8% of American households had zero or negative net worth" So basically if you have a net worth of more than $1 you are wealthier than ~25% of America.

Let's be honest, I'd rather have NSA snoop on what on my texts than a criminal. Both are bad but NSA is at least slightly better.

Usually you can fix at anywhere form 3 months to ten years. Currently SBAB (one of banks) offers 3month list rate at 2.9% and 10 year at 4.47%. Though that 10 year fixed rate right now would be quite insane. Most likely not going to be a go

Eh? I just looked at the list rates of a few of the Swedish banks and all the short term interest (3 month fixed) were below 3% while the 2+ year fixed were 3.2% and up. Quite far from 4% and if you have decent finances you can get lower th
