@TulliusCicero: the only true genderless language is Persian. There is no he, she, it even. There is no way to hear if someone is man or woman without a precise context or asking "Man or Women?", which I often hear Iranians ask in

Get some information on the internal democracy of the Bahai faith. They have candidateless elections - essentially you vote for any member of the faith you personally think is very capable and the ones who have the most votes is elected. An

Despite the situation being uncomfortable, we really wanted to... but US government just will not let us. I am already exempt of ESTA and need a regular visa because I travel to Iran now and then. For all my 35 years of life, I wanted to be

I say those words as probably the biggest USA-fanboy one could imagine, the guy who defended almost any obscure US policy. But right now, I can not do this any more. I can live with the liberals, I can live with the conservatives, but I can

As someone who just filled out their DS-160 visa application and paid money for the application and now being left alone due to the new "travel ban" (wife and mother in law Iranian) I just say: let this country be alone for a whil

After years of being successfully self employed in IT, I do my Fachinformatiker-Exam this year for the fun of doing it AND to have the right papers to be part of the gang. In the rare occadions I got asked what I had done before, people loo

The article is completely "fake news" as it is not about Universities in Germany. It is about apprenticeship. Apprenticeship is a widely accepted path to professional education here and works as described in the article. Your sala

I probably spent months in front of FS4.... would have loved to have dual screen back then! It ran almost perfectly on a 286 machine... did so many transcontinental flights from San Francisco to New York. The graphics were bad, yet imaginat

To all my still-EU-cocitizens: you still have the possibility to leave your neo-facist country for another part of Europe. It will not get better, as the anglo-saxon world is currently destructing itself.

And honestly, most now live in the cities. By the way on a good standard for many and with almost no homeless people to be seen (I call you, USA).

I disagree to call this a UBI. No one in Iran was ever able to live from this in any way. It is like the 193€ child support the German state pays to every parent: it is helping, but I could not pay even the lowest rent in the country with i

And don't get me started on US visa policies to start an office there. I for one am currently in the surprisingly easy straightforward process of hiring highly qualified Iranians - which surely hesitate to come to you currently.

Why is not every US startup in EU, the biggest western other market? a.) maybe it does not make sense due to the type of product b.) maybe it is not time yet c.) maybe they find their home market profitable enough.

Due to the high number of regional languages, most startups simply start with the English version of their product (if the product is not primarily aimed at their home country). So Google in France would have been in English first and Frenc

Maybe pay in startups is not good, but if you need a kick of money, go contracting in big business and get wealthy... there is more than startups to tech.

Only because they have not yet come to the US, it does not mean they aren't productive, international businesses.

Oh really? How many hundred years will it take until they find out that "regular" workers also have declined performance in large offices? I find them a disgrace. I don't need a single office for me - but 3-6 People is enough

Borland C++ came with 5 thick books as a reference. It was great. Powerbasic came with a big book, part tutorial, part reference. Schneider CPC had a big programming book with it. So it wasn't bad at all! When you extended your program

There are many democratic reforms needed in the EU, but on the bottom line, this institution has brought us peace for many, many years while it kept (european style) freedom for hundreds of million people. That Macron got the next french pr
