Markinhos··on Why Computer Programmers Should Stop Calling Themselves Engineers
very stupid article. An engineer is not what the author wants to be; an engineer is someone that applies maths and science into practical problems.

And the difference in process between a civil engineer and a software engineer is because the nature of them is quite different. A bridge is expensive to change, meanwhile software is designed to change.

Markinhos··on In Spain, Politics via Reddit
Basically they are cards delivered by Bankia (an important 'Caja', sort of a bank but politicians are in the board) without any limit and the expenses were charged to different expeses(e.g. a failure of a server)
Markinhos··on Switzerland's Answer to Silicon Valley
yeah, but the Spanish rulers cannot see further than 4 years, so they are taxing the entrepreneurs and introducing stupid regulations meanwhile they support the friendly big companies with tailored laws. All of that while the corruption is rampant.

From a spaniard.

Markinhos··on Richard Lynch, an awesome PHP community guy and former colleague needs our help
Still confused...this is a terrible reputation for the insurance of this fellow. Aren't any insurance provider covering these kind of things? If so, why anyone would take a insurance that doesn't?

Sorry, but I cannot understand how a high skilled worker in a high income country has to beg for money because medical problems.

I am really sad for this guy...

Can someone explain to me why is he asking for donations? Doesn't the insurances cover with these expenses in USA?

Markinhos··on Bitcoin banned in Russia?
that's funny, I've always thought Bitcoin would help to reduce the bubbles avoiding the goverments to create them.
Markinhos··on Poll: According to you how much the value of bitcoin will be after 6 months?
Not always the best technology is the one which success. If that better bitcoin is invented too late, bitcoin can have a large infrastructure and accepted by a large proportion of merchant to be switched. Just think about VHS and Beta or OS/2
Markinhos··on Best countries to work and live in as a developer
Altough strange, it might be because in Spain many of the developers work for consultancy firms with Up or Out policy, so once devs get experience jump to the management level.
Markinhos··on Ask HN: Considering relocation to Europe, options for recruiters/job hunting?
I'd say 700€-100€. Here you can find some examples http://www.wg-gesucht.de/en/wohnungen-in-Berlin.8.2.0.0.html...

maybe some years ago Berlin was much cheaper, but rents are getting more expensive everyday. Still cheaper than London though.
Markinhos··on How I Was Almost Adam Lanza
This article might be correct for the columbine massacre, but I don't think killing 20th kids has anything to do with a revenge for being bullied.
Markinhos··on Mac OS is better and Mac users are better people
what a nonsense article...What about comparing the percentage of donation of every dollar spent on the computer. That might change things.
Markinhos··on French affluent flee the tax on super-rich
Of course is not similar, but the point is only because it is legal and the goverment can do it, does not make it right.
Markinhos··on French affluent flee the tax on super-rich
It can, in the same way the South African goverment could discriminate by race during the Apartheid.

That something is constitutional doesn't mean it is morally acceptable

Markinhos··on French affluent flee the tax on super-rich
I don't think that gives the French goverment the right to tax the 75% of his income
Markinhos··on Spain Is Doomed
As a Spaniard who has worked worked in Germany I have to say it is possible but the main problem is that not many spaniards speak German. And this is something that you're likely to need. It can be easier if your job is IT, for instance. Nonetheless many young spaniards are leaving the country, specially the ones with a higher education.
