It reminds me "investing gurus" selling books about how to hack the stock market to become billionaires. The only guys, however who become billionaires are those selling the books.
At least this story is for free...
Re:Has YC ever funded a company with a Black founder?

Well, I was born in Russia and moved to Germany 20 years ago with my family, I was 11 then. Today I consider myself as German, so far the background.
What is really true, even if you speak native German and identify yourself with the people and the country, for most Germans, you are not German. I do not mean it in the negative way, I think it is just the way it is, if you have not a German name or look "Russian". But I do not have/ had any problems with it. Moreover I realized, that although people know you are originally not from Germany, you are valued on your skills (at school, job, sport, etc) and not by you ethnical background. And those people from Russia/Turkey or whatever who claim they are discriminated e.g while looking for a job I just can repeat, no, you just did not tried hard enough.
In Russia there is a saying: You are greeted by your look, but bid goodbyed for your skills. I think in Germany this is a very reality.

LTE (4G) cellular networks are actually full-IP networks. However they support "voice"-devices due to transition issues.

Please explain: if it keeps you alert, you also have to concentrate your thoughts on this. Isn't this in contradiction to let all thoghts go?
Thanks for an answer...

While the site itself is nice designed and I enjoy playing with various countries, I see that the main purpose for designing this site are the amazon links below the comparison. Am I right?
