I'm not from the States. From Europe and watching in disbelief. My point was that supporting a sexist, xenophobic candidate is to condone his sexism and xenophobia. To tolerate this for some political or personal agenda is to be intolerant.

It seems to be a typical postmodern viewpoint that every idea is equally valid. But even if you're not "racist, sexist, xenophobic, or accepting sexual assault", if you, as a reasonably minded individual, back Trump, you're condoning all of these things, which is really just as bad ... Not everybody's idea is valid!

Not withstanding the upshot, I'm always wondering about the ill effect of technology on society. This is a painful example. Take it easy everyone!

I can personally vouch for Kevin and his team's work here in Berlin. It has already improved my quality of life!

OR, you could just get off your ass and build it yourself ... monetary cost: $0, time cost: 6 months, benefit: you now have an extra skillset and the ability to execute your ideas

Building a car by oneself is unrealistic, building an app is completely feasible.

utter rubbish. I know lots of black people who live happy lives in Berlin.

Dude, get a history book.

Berlin is a FANTASTIC city to bootstrap your project ...

reasons: 1. cheap cost of living, 2. availability of relatively well paid contract work, 3. A very supportive startup / creative community who are willing to share info and resources, 4. A very smart and creative demographic, 5. wonderful bars, clubs, and restaurants, 6. German people are actually a decent bunch :)

disadvantages: 1. over-strict regulations in dealing with Banking and Regulatory bodies (whatever you do, do NOT sign up for a postbank a/c), 2. Less than ideal weather.

Overall a win I think, which is why I continue to call Berlin my home.
