Unfortunately, taxis in İstanbul are run by literal mafias. Uber also failed here because of their authorities, so your experience won't be as good as in other cities.
Hackerspace Istanbul now has a physical space again after a long time and they are holding events more regularly. This was my first event and everyone was so nice and cool. I want to participate more, even with my zero technical knowledge.
The irony is that I can't stay for the Aaron Swartz documentary screening because I couldn't access the mandatory paper on Elsevier for tomorrow's class. A classmate finally sent it to me this morning, so I have to go read it now.
