[09:20:04] <anosh> o
[09:20:35] <anosh> yossarian: I had a metrocard when I went to NYC
[09:20:38] <anosh> Paid in $40
[09:20:42] <anosh> Never got that $40
[09:20:54] <anosh> Card ended up being "Never used before"
[09:21:04] <anosh> Despite being able to get the airtrain
[09:21:30] <anosh> The subway is one of the shittest public transport services I've witnessed
[09:21:33] <anosh> It's apalling
[09:21:34] <anosh> :(
[09:26:49] <vishwin> …
[09:30:07] <anosh> In the end if I wanted to use the subway, I had to always carry cash instead.
[09:31:58] <vishwin> I've never had any problems with metrocards
[09:32:17] <vishwin> also, lmk when you try to figure out the SEPTA system on your own.
[09:32:31] <anosh> vishwin: I'm British
[09:32:38] <anosh> The thing was asking for a zip
[09:32:49] <anosh> I was told to do either 000000 or 99999
[09:32:58] <anosh> I did both, $20 each
[09:33:07] <anosh> turns out it took the money from my acc each time
[09:33:16] <anosh> When I got back home, my bank gave me the money back
[09:33:21] <vishwin> you were paying with your credit card or something at the vending machine right?
[09:33:28] <anosh> Yeah
[09:33:44] <vishwin> yeah a lotta petrol pumps here are doing that too
[09:33:52] <anosh> That's pretty shitty
[09:34:11] <vishwin> you know what's also shitty that's kinda causing that?
[09:34:11] <anosh> It's very stressful too
[09:34:12] <vishwin> skimmers.
[09:34:37] <anosh> argh
[09:34:58] <anosh> we have cctv everywhere on ticket machines
[09:35:06] <anosh> Not that common here
[09:35:10] <vishwin> last week here in philly there's been a rash of skimmer fraud
[09:35:17] <anosh> And Transport Police patrol a lot
[09:35:32] <vishwin> well yeah we have both too
[09:35:44] <anosh> Issue is, none of my cards have their magnetic strip enabled too
[09:35:55] <anosh> So places that didn't do chip+pin or contactless
[09:36:00] <anosh> I couldn't eat at
[09:36:13] <anosh> Which is another thing that super sucked
[09:36:34] <vishwin> next time you come to philly for pennapps, hopefully SEPTA have fully implemented their new payment system
[09:36:41] <vishwin> you can use contactless directly with it.
[09:36:41] <anosh> Fingers crossed
[09:36:52] <anosh> If I ever get into Pennapps yeah
[09:36:59] <vishwin> the whole new payment system is an open system
[09:37:08] <anosh> It was my first time in the US too
[09:37:29] <anosh> Started the trip with a 3 hour detention
[09:37:33] <anosh> at border control
[09:37:35] <anosh> @.@
[09:37:55] <vishwin> le ouch.
[09:38:14] <anosh> yeah
[09:38:20] <anosh> MLH Prime was nice though
[09:38:25] <anosh> Went for that
[09:38:44] <vishwin> I'm pretty much retired from collegiate hackathons now
[09:39:07] <anosh> ah
[09:39:12] <vishwin> it's been a good 19-hackathon run for the most part
[09:39:20] <anosh> I'm going mostly to mentor/volunteer these days
[09:39:39] <vishwin> I'm only going to visit/work with friends I already made at previous hackathons
[09:39:40] <anosh> Also to network with sponsors
[09:39:43] <anosh> Ah
[09:39:50] <vishwin> and help people, kinda
[09:40:06] <anosh> I'm looking for a new job so it's useful
[09:40:23] <vishwin> I've never really been about the sponsors, esp when they want to move me out of philly
[09:40:33] <anosh> I love travelling
[09:40:36] <vishwin> or if they're just too gimmicky
[09:40:41] <anosh> So I'm down to go anywhere
[09:40:47] <anosh> As long as it has a vibrant tech scene
[09:40:56] <anosh> I'm looking at London a lot atm
[09:41:00] <anosh> Going to a job fair next month
[09:42:44] <vishwin> I'm apparently starting a 30-day trial at this startup today lol
[09:43:00] <anosh> lol
[09:43:43] <anosh> Work visas are tough
[09:43:49] <anosh> I have a friend who works for Tumble
[09:43:51] <anosh> Tumblr
[09:44:51] <anosh> Tried to get in
[09:44:55] <anosh> with a ref from him
[09:45:00] <anosh> Still didn't happen
[09:45:15] <anosh> Ebay at MLH Prime said I could get something with them with the thing we worked on
[09:45:21] <anosh> But they don't want to do my work visa
