I am latino (Spanish), though white looking male. Been an immigrant everywhere I lived for 3 years and my accent though slight is noticeable. I never felt anything like what you said, but then again it might just be me. It doesn't harm me,

The fact that black people were treated bad in the past wouldn't justify if you were treated as an slave just to compensate for what your ancestors did. I don't see why this is unequal nowadays for women or other minorities but it IS unequa

Asus S56CA + 180GB SSD + extra 4GB RAM (it only has two slots and one of them comes with a 2GB memory). http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/S56CM/ Would be around $1000 and its a beast. It's powerful enough for everything you

I’m wondering what’s your opinion about how does it affect to have on your resume some great places to work at, but that might not be so well known in the US tech world as they’re not the usual Google, FB etc.. I’m talking about places like

You can still receive texts when you're abroad for free from your bank (I rely on this..) . As for not having a cellphone.. I'm kinda puzzled they didn't give you other option.

What is wrong with paying rent in Switzerland? I've lived in several countries and here (Geneva) they handle rent payments pretty well, it's just doing it online/taking one paper to the atm (with UBS), honestly I see no faults in that

Honestly I don't get the deal with Germany forbidding access to so many youtube videos. I've been there on vacation a few times and it was nearly impossible to find some (legitimate uploaded) songs in youtube, even from the VEVO channel. Bi

hackNYer here. 4 days after hackNY is over, and I went back home to hang out with old folks, you realize how important and why living with other fellows is definitely the key, always doing something cool, learning, or teaching other people.
