Lisbon is an awesome place to live, the weather is awesome (today we have 27C and it's almost November), the food and nightlife is great and somewhat cheap compared with other european cities, but it's far away from becoming a tech capital.

It's really a nice place, especially for people who are working remotely and receiving a kind of salary that are paid in UK, US, Australia, etc

It depends of the company, in a lot of places is really 8 hours but there are also some companies that you work 10h/day or more. Especially in the consulting area. Sometimes is just to show off, and people spend the time at their office doing a lot of things that are not work related.

During the last couple of months I started to be obssessed with the chatbot scene, it’s exciting to see a lot of experimentation in this area, so I decided to get my hands dirty and mix it with one of my passions: sneakers. I created a “minimum viable (sneakerhead) bot” for Telegram that shares the day’s best news about sneakers. The bot's behaviour is super simple, I plan to improve it and test the bot in other platforms: Kik, Facebook Messenger, Slack.

I would love to have your feedback and suggestions.

Sporting Lisbon have a good school for young players, but it's also very competitive. Probably next season he will be playing in some small/medium portuguese club to gain more experience.

RIP David. An amazing creative mind

Malaga during the 3rd week of August is crazy, during the Feria de Malaga. I confirm that it's a good place to stay for short trips around. If someone likes nice beaches without a lot of people I recommend to go to some beaches in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar natural park.

That's totally true

But the prosecutors also manipulated the public opinion with that public conferences about that what Brendan and Steven supposedly made to the victim, only based in a doubtful and manipulated confession of Brendan.

Yes, and it is shocking that supposedly the Manitowoc County Police wasn't allowed to be part of the investigation and they were everywhere during the searches and so on...

Thanks for the clarification. So if it happens a "miracle" and they go to trial again probably it will be again in Wisconsin

I think that he was a teenager when he burned a cat alive. Usually teenagers make stupid things. I know people that make things like that and worse in their youth and they aren't murderers.

It's strange that they don't considered the possibility of Bobby Dassey and Scott Tadych being the murderers or the "German" man: http://www.convolutedbrian.com/an-alternative.html

Is there any legal possibility to Steven and Brendan have a new trial, specially outside of Wisconsin state?

I usually don't trust on online movie ratings. The only platform that have some ratings similar with my tastes is Letterboxd: http://letterboxd.com

During the last couple of months I've been working out a lot with kettlebells, so this weekend I've made a small compilation of the best kettlebell workout videos that I found on youtube.

Maybe this list can be useful to some fellow members of the HN Community.

Tips and more workout videos links are welcomed :)

I know that and that's true. In the middle of that pool of people there are some high quality people, but most of them doesn't stay longer in the app.

Probably most of the people aren't going to find a man/woman for the life on Tinder but if you put a little effort on your matches you will find interesting people. The problem is that after some time and some "tinder scars" people put less and less effort in meeting better their matches.

Nowadays, if a single guy doesn't use Tinder and other apps, it's missing a huge pool of single girls available to meet for a drink (or other things).

It's never been so easy to meet new people, so guys don't value so much the girls they met like before, but it's the same for girls. If the pool of single girls it's huge, imagine the pool of single guys on this apps.

I know a lot of girls who uses Tinder only to inflate their ego and play with guys. They have never met one guy through Tinder. Sometimes they even mark a date with a guy and "disappear" before that just for fun.

It's time to see a serious person leading FIFA. I hope that Blatter get's arrested or that looses the elections.

If this is true it's a little bit sad. If a person isn't present in the most important moments of a family is "changing the world" of the family for worse and not for better.

This is a really interesting integration.

I've started The Prince of Niccolo Machiavelli, but I wasn't in the best mood for that kind of book :) I have to try that one again

That is one of the best books I've read in 2014.

I have to read that one

Interesting blog, I loved the Thiel's book

I believe that everything that was written in this article is true and it's really depressing to see a work culture like this. How they can retain and attract talent with this kind of culture?!

That’s true. I think that one of the ways to invert the situation is to convince the top talent to stay and build their own companies. There are some good examples doing that, but the ecosystem isn’t strong enough yet and the legislation doesn’t help either.

That's perfectly understandable
