common on! don't troll my comment, in Germany you have to be unlucky enough if you travel by train and it is delayed at all.

> Saying the public transport in Cuba is bad makes no sense. Basically nobody owns a car in Cuba and people still get around just fine

what does not make sense is saying that "the public transport in Cuba is bad makes no sense". Both public or private transport is bad in any angle. You can not say people still get around just fine when for instances sometimes you need 4 hours or more to reach a place 80 kilometers far from you. Sometimes you just have to give up and returns home after some hours exposed to the sun on the road. * As someone who is born in Cuba and lived and studied in Cuba, feel free to ask additional questions ;)

Here is my 5 stars review: Years ago I downloaded the Freya version after donating $20 , and it was a very pleasant experience. Later on I got a Tuxedo laptop that came with Elementary preinstalled based on Ubuntu 16.04 and I haven't ever reinstalled it again, it is very stable, the upgrade process work all the time without issues.

does the markdown also parse code blocks? I can't see it correctly, new lines are stripped.

I do not get the feeling it is an improvement over other Fonts. Just another Font face.

I am agree with that, I won't buy it just because it comes with Windows.

> and be able to borrow EUR 9,000 to apply for the student visa As far as I know there is not need of EUR 9,000 to apply for a student Visa, I studied in a german university as an international student, hence I know you do not need such amount of money to apply for Visa. In the other hand in many cases you can get scholarships which compensate for these expenses.

Because in general the principles are centered in make a more profitable enterprise while not taking care of many important human values. I don't think raising the bar is more important than having a team in harmony where everybody cares about everybody while at the same time is highly motivated for the project success.

I find a lot of arrogance in this Principles, at some point of view it is even evil. Have anybody knows of another company that throws their leadership principles to your face?

yoandy | 9 years ago | on: Google: My interview experience

At least they give you some feedback in the end. I had the experience to be rejected after an onsite interview at Amazon, and they did not take the time to give a word of feedback, after I even asked for it. I see the past interviews were of great help to you to finally get the position at Amazon. I am looking forward to read your third post. Complimenti collega!

Does it normally take too long indexing database? since I started the app have been a long while. I thought this could be a nice tool to use in places like Cuba, but I've realized now, that once connected to a Pub it download more than 1 GB, that would be a problem too in a place with lack of internet bandwidth.
