Wanna see real Berlin? Here is a party I threw in a subway station a few months ago. This happened about 2-3x per week. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/153216/90days/29%20-%20The%20Morning... I'm the sexy man doing the thrusting motion halfway th

Germany is one of the easiest places to get a resident visa in. Compare it to Italy or Spain or France, and you'll see the difference.

Funny story about döner kebabs---if you go to ANY kebab place, they will ask you if you want your kebab 'mit alles' (with everything). The funny thing is that (correct me if I'm wrong german speakers), the correct grammar for this question

I cofounded the 4 Hour Workweek meetup, which is still very active in Berlin. Check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/146524318752855/ We actually had Tim Ferriss come and speak to us, it was great. You can also check out meetup

Go do it then---I was accepted to intern by 2 or 3 companies in a matter of weeks. Just make sure you have something to show them. You might have to settle for an unpaid internship thought, but good luck on finding a job.

I'm using Dreamhost to host this site, and it started giving me 500 errors within 5 minutes on HN front page. Is that normal? Anyone know a better host (maybe 1&1) with better bandwith terms??

programmers need a job to get a visa, and it's not the easiest thing in the world...but it's easier than most places! Check out monster.com even, or try to find startups via HN.

Getting a visa isn't impossible, but you need a good reason. I got a working visa through my university, but many people can get 'artist's visas, which allow them to stay if they are practicing any sort of art (photography, djing, music, wh

Everyone speaks decent english. Some companies might prefer you to speak German in the office, but startup companies and tech companies mostly use English as well. Which college? I interned as a student from Stanford, and Stanford actually

BTW, Berlin's startup scene is amazing---if you can't stomach the costs of San Fran, Berlin is the place to be.

At least when I've done affiliate sales for information products, the cut is generally 51% or higher (since each sale costs you nothing, and the affiliate is driving you traffic you wouldn't have otherwise). For recurring income, it's usual

you should create an affiliate link (if you can) and let us try to sell it for you, get a cut.

At Stanford in CS107 we had to write an IMDB six degrees of separation, using this same database. Insert the names of 2 actors, and our app will calculate the degrees of separation between them. Kevin Bacon was highly connected :)
