They are not hiding behind pseudonyms and attend meetups regularly, stuff like RingCt was peer revieewed by legder journal...

And yes i call zcash skechy too, creating a currency with a trusted setup and stuffing 10% off all mining rewards in your pockets its an outright scam.

What a load of crap article, Instantsend bullshit can per se not work, it takes time in a consensus network to reach consensus, except u are losing some kind of offchain network like Lightning/Raiden.

The inbuilt coinmixer is also a hilarious joke, jeez.....

Uber is really bad in SouthEast Asia, Grab is by far the most used here, especially in Singapore, Thailand and co. Uber is also useless in China... Grab just offers so much more from motorcycle rides, delivery service, payment etc...

In germany and other european countries Uber is also completly useless, they have to use local law abiding apps like MyTaxi.

So no, Uber does not have a solid worldwide presence i would say, Singapore, Germany and other are clearly what u call first world...

Ahh wat....

Volkswagen Wolfburg has a very big IT devision, VW financials Braunschweig too... Audi and Porsche also do a lot of IT stuff... they work together with the local univeristies on self driving cars etc.

I was doing self driving car stuff 10 years back at tu braunschweig with VW.... I never been in a big german company where they outsourced IT work to india and co.

I did, i can only encourage you to try it. I dropped out of University even because of my self employment. I would never look back and change that. There's not much bureaucracy as a Kleinunternehmer (small business owner), depends on the niche you work in tho but for IT stuff and even importig/exporting electronics i never had big issues.

I am part owner of a US startup now, we have to deal with as much bureaucracy there...The big thing that makes the US different is that it's way easier to get capital, but there are as many weird laws which differ from county to county..

Yes, there are 2 old concepts which are used by most countries.

1) Jus sanguinis (latin for blood ties or right of blood), this means u get citizenship if one of your parents is a citizen of country X. 2) Jus soli (latin for right of the soil), which means u get citizenship by the territory you are born on.

Both countries the USA and Germany nowadays have a mix of those, Germany had 1. back in the day and then introduced 2. over time, also special foreigner laws like getting a permant residency permit quiet eaily after you have been there for 8 years.

SEA especially Thailand has still only 1. so it's quiet impossible to get permant residencies till today - but fear not, you can bribe urself in paying money and its called the thai elite card -.-

You lack reading comprehension, i said in the tech hubs immigrants are welcome more than in other parts especially rural areas.

So yes, of course SV and NYC are more open to immigration then the countryside, same as in germany.

Compared to SEA both countries (DE and USA) are super welcoming, here in Thailand as a foreigner it's damn hard, i cannot even own a business as a majority owner. Nor can i buy land, it's also next to impossible to ever get a permant residency. Other SEA countries are the same, its pretty discouraging.

The country has been mostly rebuild by germans itself with a lot of financial aid of course. The 60s immigration wave was caused by the west german Wirtschaftswunder (economic miracle), due to the eastern german wall it was not possible for east germans and other eastern europeans to migrate to western germany. Thus they invited turkish citizens as a lot of manufacturing jobs in the automobile industry and co. needed workers.

Stop making up alternative facts.

I don't know a single person in the german tech industry who gives a shit about where you are from, did you ever live there at all?

It doesn't seem to me that immigrants are welcome in the USA either as a whole (disclaimer: i am german working for a NYC company), but the tech community is different there, more open and interested in what you can offer instead of how you look.

It's basically the same from my very own experience, your whole argument seems non sense to me, Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne for example are one of the most diverse cities i have ever been to especially when i compare it to South East Asia where i currently life.

While i agree that the port is useful and i want a phone with one, your comment about Bluetooth headphones sounding crap is ridiculous.

The Bower and Wilkins ones are decent, the BW P7 Wireless is the best portable headphone i ever heard, the integrated bluetooth DAC is actually better than the DAC integrated in my iphone 5s and huawei p9 phones.

I had the sennheiser momentum 2 headphones before them, also different AKG Headphones and the BW7 Wireless beat them on all aspects when it comes to the sound, in Bluetooth mode (they also have an optional cable included - they sound better with the bluetooth dac tho!)

It does slow charge, i use my external Anker Powercore Plus battery pack with it, while its not able to charge it while running because the MBP draws more Power than the Anker Battery can output it EXTENDS its battery lifetime very noticeably.

I don't get that, why wont you just use an adapter that has everything in one instead of 3 seperate ones? I use a Hooto Shuttle with USB, HDMI, Card reader and power in, thats all i need, ok it has no ethernet as i never use them but there are ones with ethernet inbuilt too.

I dont get all this so much dongle talk when you just need one good adapter.

Yes i do, it greatly increased my productivity, tho i had to tweak it myself and configure it all myself basically with better touch tool, heres a good article about what you can do: https://medium.com/productivity-freak/what-if-you-could-real...

i safe you some time and quote the BTT website on what's doable atm:

A few words about the current state of the Touch Bar integration in BTT: ''' It’s quite stable now and offers many customization options. You can specify custom Touch Bars for every app or globally You can change how the Touch Bar should appear for every app (e.g. if you want to show the BTT Touch Bar only for certain apps) You can create Touch Bar button groups There are three widgets, more to come. (Currently, Battery Time, Date/Time and an App Switcher widget are available) ''' And then its up to your creativity...the touchid also improved my life, i use it for my password keeper app etc instead of my masterpw...

The thing is, you have to ignore all the usual anti touchbar hate and find out for yourselv how YOU could use it, then make a decision if it's worth it for you.

That's not true, my local german bakery simply doesnt accept big euro bills with the premise it could be fake money, which is nonsense as the smaller bills get faked more often, shit like this can't happen with bitcoin.

They also dont accept debit cards so u can be screwed if u have only a 100 eur bill with you..
