Porting is to make something that runs in a platform/environment run in another one. Not necessarily having to do with coding in another language. Sometimes it's just a recompilation, or providing a new hardware abstraction layer (HAL). But

Well, in that case you'd need to include Belize and Guyana. My comment was just a reply to the mention of there being only two English speaking countries in America/Americas. Not about the page title.

Am I the only one who read that as "grew up in Hacker News"? :) On a slightly more serious note, I got 93% North Central. As a non-native speaker, I have no idea why or how.

Just look at Brazil's income distribution program: Bolsa Familia. It has been shown to improve local economies and people's lives. Even though it is not completely unconditional and doesn't quite get to provide enough for basic needs.

I'm not really interested in those two specific examples used by the OP. My question was more along the lines of the beginning of your reply. The association of the features you mention with 'our' view of democracy is part of why I personal

While this helps showcase the problem in nomenclatures and how people relate to them, I personally don't feel there was that much to this specific claim/complaint. The population at the 'British Mandate of Palestine' (which resulted in the

That would be nowhere easier. Many languages have different names across populations. And people strongly identify to a specific nomenclature. Also, many people speak multiple languages, languages that cross disputed borders, and languages

This is basically the same as expert systems back in the 70s, with a cooler UX. Unfortunately it will probably fail again due to mostly the same reasons, difficulty in knowledge collection and user rejection (by medics, for example) as they

I agree that it's not everywhere in China that's like that. At least in Beijing and Shanghai you can find malls full of electronic shops. But nowhere near that scale anyway. Also, there doesn't seem to be much of a maker scene here anyway f

I think you're missing the scale of this here. Being to both I can tell you that Akihabara might have specialized shops, but nothing to the level of Huaqiangbei. Neither in terms of component diversity nor in the number of shops around. And
