Part of the difficulty SO faces is that there's sort of two similar but distinct problems that it's meant to solve, and as such there is no one "community". It's simultaneously a place to ask programming questions and get answers to them, and it's a repository of commonly asked programming questions with curated answers. The heavily engaged section of the community represented by your linked thread tends to focus on the latter goal, and the things they do to benefit the site for it (e.g., the aggressive closed-as-duplicate patrol) tend to be the things that makes it a hostile feeling place for the "long tail" community of new question askers and occasional answerers.
haha damn. I just became a US citizen few months ago after waiting a lifetime in the queue :/ .
Once it is an arguably better product, then yes, Google should definitely link to it first.

Google Search should list the websites that best match the user's search terms ordered by a fair Pagerank score that doesn't emphasise Google's own properties. That's it. Google shouldn't be making subjective decisions about "site quality" (objective factors like speed, mobile optimization, malware etc are OK..). If I search for "Sunderland"[1] I get 3 news stories about the local football team and the next 50% of the page is Google Maps...

> Most people I've seen being surveyed in Europe around tourists don't care where they come from, as long as they spend money and don't ruin stuff.

Right, but American tourists make up a significant portion of tourist spending. Ergo, if you want tourist money, you want American tourists. Not necessarily more or less than other types of tourists, but that's not important.

Each additional step requires solving a lot of new engineering problems and usually some new physics too, and it's not a linear process: many techniques are proposed that become cost effective only when previous techniques hit their size limits, and then a lot of research is done and most techniques are never gotten to work at scale and just a few pan out and become the next process.

I found this video to be fairly demeaning towards women. I got the sense of entitlement that he deserves to sleep with a certain number of women. He should be less set on the numbers and more focused on the women that do respond.

This should have happened already. Checks have already stopped. Even if they do this now, plenty of people will still get evicted without the extra income or eviction protection. The irresponsibility of waiting on a coronavirus relief bill two months in the middle of a pandemic is almost unbelievable. But then I remember the scum who insisted on waiting. Also, they won't pass another bill to provide people with what they need. That's almost certain. Or they would have done so these last two months.

The maximum monthly payment you can have for german public health insurance is 14.6% of 4.687,50 EUR per month in 2020 - that's about 800USD. Mind you, maximum, not average.

14.6% of your wage is the health insurance deductible, 4.687,50 EUR is the so-called "Beitragsbemessungsgrenze", that is the cap from which on your wage is free - it's regularly adjusted (upwards usually).

You can reach that maximum if you are self employed and voluntarily member of the public health insurance - meaning you have to pay both the employers and the employees share. If you're employed, your employer pays about half of it.

Your chosen health insurance can optionally add an extra fee, usually less than a percent or two, most are free.
I have. A couple guys came into the house late at night while I was in bed. I was upstairs and they were downstairs. I didn't have a means to escape. Cops can't help in that situation.

I confronted them at the stairs and the whole thing de-escalated very quickly. Nobody got hurt. As far as someone sneaking into your house while you sleep, it was pretty much a best case scenario.
I'm not American but you're off-base here. Sure, if you already have another western passport an American passport may not buy you much. But if you go to Asia or Africa, you'll find that an American passport is still the Holy Grail; certainly "one of the most prized" as the article says.

And, BTW, if you're poor (like most of the world!), the mobility offered by a passport matters little in the short term; it's the economic mobility a new nationality gives you.

Besides, those passport indexes are ridiculous -- they rank them by number of countries you can access. But let's be real -- would you prefer an Emerati passport to an American one because you get a visa-on-arrival in Liberia or similar places? Insane.

Agree. Those don't think so haven't travelled to luxury destinations overseas. It's majority Americans and Chinese. There are whole industries depending on those two cohorts.
Yet going on the FIRE or fatFIRE (financial independence, retire early) forums you encounter countless examples of people who achieve early retirement and lose their minds. They’re bored because they worked so hard and no longer know what to do with themselves. They didn’t spend any time developing other interests or hobbies because they were engrossed in chasing the paycheck. Some are so engrossed in chasing the money that they don’t even stop to consider what they MIGHT do if they retire early.
I wouldn't blame education costs or housing costs on neoliberalism, I'd blame them on availability of low interest, little down credit for housing and student loans. Which, while being a bit of a neo-liberal policy is not a cornerstone of neo-liberalism (nor is even controversial among the left, much to my chagrin).

Medical care is, of course, it's own awful mess.

Higher wages wouldn't fully solve either problem on a society-wide level. If you chang nothing else, I'd expect that costs of all three would rise until they soak up every spare penny of the middle class.

I know of some folks arrested in other countries ... the marines were not sent in to save them. There was no help from the US government.

I think you're overstating things way beyond reality.
To add to this, most of the additional countries aren't really umm... worth traveling to, at least for most people. I compared against germany, and the additional countries are:

Myanmar
Pakistan
Vietnam
Venezuela
Iran
Turkey

I'm sure those countries have interesting places to go to and the people there are nice, but they're not exactly on the top of most tourists' list when it comes to destinations.

edit: not sure what the downvotes are about. maybe hn thinks that all countries are equal, and thinking otherwise is racist?

Absolutely not - the group I hear the most complaints about are chinese tourists. Americans mostly have a reputation for being overly friendly to strangers here.

From reading a Canadian law firm's analysis of the changes (https://www.blakes.com/insights/bulletins/2020/ip-post-nafta...), Canada has 2.5 years (until the end of 2023) to enact this change. This can also be seen in the link you provided in Article 20.89.4.c. (The link I provided mislabels this as Article 20.90. or perhaps refers to an alternate draft of the document.)

It appears that Canada has not enacted this law just yet, although I may be mistaken about that. Depending on when they do, Courant's work may or may not enter the public domain in 2023, although it seems more likely than not that the copyright term will be extended by then.

Have you read what was said on the campaign site? If not - here is the important bit:

"In recent news there have been numerous shocking cases of sex trafficking and child rape films that were hosted on Pornhub. A 15-year-old girl who had been missing for a year was finally found after her mother was tipped off that her daughter was being featured in videos on the site — 58 such videos of her rape and sexual abuse were discovered on Pornhub.

Her trafficker, who was seen in the videos raping the child, was identified using surveillance footage of him at a 7-Eleven where he was spotted with his victim. He is now facing a felony charge.

In February 2020, the BBC reported the harrowing story of 14-year-old Rose Kalemba from Ohio who was taken at knifepoint, raped for 12 hours, and the crime scene videos of her abuse were uploaded to Pornhub. Rose said that she pleaded with Pornhub to remove the videos of her rape and torture for months, and it wasn't until she posed as a lawyer and threatened legal action that Pornhub finally took them down.

These are not isolated cases. In 2019 the Internet Watch Foundation stated that it alone had confirmed 118 cases of child rape and sexual abuse on Pornhub—half of the videos were Category A level abuse, which includes penetration and sadism.

Likewise, the Sunday Times investigation into Pornhub reported finding "dozens" of illegal abuse videos within "minutes", including abuse images of children as young as three years old. Some of the videos identified by the newspaper's investigation "had 350,000 views and had been on the platform for more than three years." It went on to say "three of the worst clips still remained on the site 24 hours later."

> Americans, along with the British and the French, seems to be the groups that most people complained about when it comes to groups vacationing in Europe.

Citizens might complain due to the personal habits and practices of individual tourists, but bureaucrats that oversee the tourism industry (in relation to border entry) will have views based on which tourist qualities most positively impact the industry's income.

Interesting take on equity crowdfunding! But I wonder if the heightened risk of equity crowdfunding compare to other asset classes, say stocks/real estate, would dissuade people from investing in these startups, especially during trouble times like this? Have you been seeing a lot of investment activity since the start of Demo Day?
It's not clear from the article but the Zapatistas is not a terrorist organisation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Lib...

The article describes them as "insurgents" initially, but in the immediately next sentence goes on about "the terrorists of the world". The photo of their leader follows immediately from photos of Osama Bin Laden and er, an unidentified ISIS militant, apparentlY? It's extremely dodgy to lump such clearly terrorist organisations with the Zapatistas. The latter are an indigenous liberation army who have fought in opern warfare with the national army of Mexico and are not known for attacking civilian targets, carrying out suicide bombings or anything like that. Not to condone armed struggle but one could call George Washington a terrorist, under such a loose apparent definition of terrorism.
I actually really like this idea. The model sort of reminds me of a cooperative. There is a cooperative for Outdoor Clothing in Canada and it had a reasonable amount of success.
>Now that facemasks are normalized in the American public, surely this tech is pretty inert now?

No, facial recognition is based on the distance of points on your face (nose, center of eyes, eyebrows, etc). A mask only covers the lower half of your face. It may make facial recognition slightly less accurate but it still works. Casinos have been using facial recognition for some time to detect individuals who have been banned. These banned individuals have gone as far as hiring professional make-up artists to change their appearances but facial recognition still works due to the fact that certain points on the face (e.g. distance between eyes) cannot be altered. The accuracy is reduced but there's still a large enough confidence interval to cause an intervention by casino security.
I think it depends on the investment vehicle the startup decides to receive funds through.
I wonder how much more accurate this solution is compared to a simple IR beam across the entry. Is the extra HW and SW complexity needed to implement a computer vision solution worth the increase accuracy? I suppose the answer would depend on the use case. Mom-and-pop shops might only need an IR beam, if that, while megacorps that optimize costs down to the penny might have use for exact customer trends so they can decide how much human workforce and/or automation they need.
That might be a Europe specific thing. A lot of the parts of the world I've seen like US tourists because they have a culture of tipping generously, which is not always the case for Europeans.
I'm not claiming anyone is wrong, I did not say that anywhere, and I'm not forcing anything. I'm simply suggesting there are alternatives. It's not an American thing, and it isn't overcompensating for anything. I don't even feel that strongly about this. Clearly a lot of people do. It tells me a lot more about this thread in the way it was downvoted where I was simply trying to explain the issue, it's history, and the options available and a lot of people apparently brought emotions to the discussion that I do not understand where they came from.

Do whatever you like. I'm not telling you what to do. I'm not telling anyone what to do. I was merely explaining the controversy. I give up. I do not understand what all this hate is about. I'm just the messenger, but I guess I can take all the shots.
Isn't the US the country that has the most immigrants per year?

https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/wmr_2020.pdf

"The most striking feature of the main migration corridors within and from the region (figure 22 is the dominance of the United States as the main country of destination. Most of the corridors in 2019 were to the United States,"

Most immigrants don't know or care about things like Henley Passport Index.

Access to all countries are weighted equally in these passport indexes. So I would say they are flawed.

I would prefer a passport that gives me access to say Switzerland rather than North Korea (but they will count same in all the passport indices).

These indices are vanity numbers (just like number of lines of code or number of papers published for an academic)
Does anyone know if there any reasonably effective medications, yet (with sources)? Plasma therapy is the only majorly effective therapy I am aware of, at present. Would be interesting to read more on any promising treatments (aside from the Oxford vaccine success story).
This has mostly been my experience (discounting the guns, as I don't have any interest in them). Amazon's actual brands like AmazonBasics seem to be relatively consistent in quality, but they have an awful lot of stuff sold by resellers whose names are clearly random capital letters strung together. During the pandemic, I've shifted more and more of my online shopping to Walmart.com, which -- while it has an increasing share of weird third-party sellers -- doesn't seem to have nearly the same level of out-and-out scams, and to ordering from manufacturers directly. Not only do I feel I'm more likely to get the real thing when I'm ordering that way, it's become surprisingly common for me to find cheaper prices than Amazon's.

StackExchange attempted to apologize, multiple times, escalating to its CTO. The moderator still feels hurt and has not been reinstated.

Depends if you care about doing anything natively on Windows or not. Say Windows has perfectly good native support for NodeJS. If you go with WSL you'll be running WSL's Node. Many may not want that.

Java/Clojure same deal. There's no problem with them on Windows. Running everything under WSL sounds like a big compromise to make to me. Though for Java/Clojure I could imagine you could still for most projects start your software from the normal java.exe as jars generally don't have platform specific code. But in my codebase I do actually use a few libraries that are system specific.
