*all Mexicans.
That's increíble rude and egocentric, "we" are you talking in behalf of Mexicans? Your comment would be really appreciated... On Twitter. Racista.

Exactly. It's this.

What? Yeah, that's a say, but "Paisas" are all the people from Antioquia (Medellin is the capital), Quindio and Risaralda. All of us are Paisas. That say could be referenced to any person from there, because of the look or way to talk or just because we were born there.
I want to try it, looks interesting but... I can't complete the sign in with github. I don't know if the problem is my connection but the load of the site is very slow, specially the big image.
Gateway from Frederik Pohl. Also the others books that follows this series, I can't recommend this enough.

My favorite is this one about Drones and IA. One of the best:

Do you have a company that does this ? Can you advice me about this? I like the crawling thing, I would like to know how to monetize this.

Thanks!

The best option that I've found is this:

Is great because is The University of London, very prestigious and it's very low cost... But I must say, is not easy at all.

All the positions are onsite?
Re:Ask HN: Canadian visa woes. Should I try Australia? on Thursday April 28, 2016 @09:54AM (#11588838)
Hi, could you give me you email or some way to contact you? I am doing the same procedure and I would like to ask you a couple of things. I am deciding between Australia and Canada.

Thank you!

Great advice.
I am not expert... The site looks great, maybe you could put a little sample of your previous works in the first part of the website, not just the "Contact us" and something that I always look, the "About us", is good to know more about who is behind of the website... Is just an humble opinion.
Re:Ask HN: Do any VPS at sub $5/month exist? on Wednesday March 23, 2016 @11:39AM (#11345422)
I use OVH, it cost 3.49 with 2GB RAM and 10GB SSD. I readed good and bad comments about OVH but my experience has been good. Maybe is not so good for production environments but It works really good for me.

Where can I see the open positions???
Very interesting anecdote.
I fixed it!, i will improve the site soon... Sometimes i want to do so many things, that i don't know where to begin jeje.

Thank you for the help Man.

What a good advice man, I have to change the message I am trying to convey. I will put on practice all of this... I think that, like you said, I have the skills to do the work.

I changed the font and i am reading the article. Thanks a lot !

Well, I have learned about:

- Network configuration

- backups(rsync)

- Server monitoring, crontab for schedule tasks

- Troubleshooting (I used to hate so much trouble that I found, but I learn to love this and I like to solve problems)

- ssh

- Web (Apache, nginx),Dns,DHCP server's installation and configuration.

- Basic use of iptables

- Installation and configuration of software.

- User management.

- Containers like chroot or systemd-nspawn.

- Possibly other things, but I don't remember right now.

I was in a project at my previous work where I could put on practice all of this knowledge, we began installing Debian from zero (Without gui), partitioning the system with lvm, using chroot to build containers, installing other software inside that containers (Like RethinkDb, GlusterFs) and configuring Clusters. After that all the process was ready and tested, we automate it with bash scripts.

In my personal computer i use Debian and i do all the configurations and labs in the terminal, the true is that i like so much to work in this environment. I am improving my knowledge in Linux, so right now i am doing this http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/.

That is, i am not a senior Linux Administrator, but I've done well in my previous work. If you would like to know more or have another question, just tell me!

I have to improve this, learn languages is something that i like to do too and i have to do it well. I try to practice every day reading things like news.ycombinator, Quora, Reddit etc. I appreciate your comment, very helpful.
That is great, i will think more deeply about the things that can stand me out, and i will build more interesting things... I definitely have to improve my website.

I followed a couple of tutorials, you are right... It is a bit difficult for me to be "creative" and build something original and striking... I have to improve this.

Thank you very much for your advice!

That's a good point, i will work on this. Thanks a lot.
I should clarify... My principal goal is not the money, but right now i need it for help my family to solve some things. The only thing that give me peace in this moment is to help my mom to be quiet, without stress and enjoying the life that she deserves, and i think that i can meet that by searching a job outside.

Ask HN: Advice – WhoIsHiring – According to my profile, would you hire me?

I've been sending cv's for multiple job offers, mostly remote offers because in my country (Colombia) the payment is very low in general. Until now I've not been successful on it. I will put my simple website in here with some data about me, but first i will summarize some things.Actual Work : I work at a bank in an area of databases management with multiple tools. This is a recent - well payed...
