Comment Reddit has fundamentally changed (Score 1) 36

Reddit used to have principles that aligned with the open source model. Now they are removing mods that protested their API pricing. They have changed and that is how they are killing the goose that lays golden eggs. Everyone was cheering for them to succeed. Not anymore. The good will people had towards reddit is gone. They killed it.

Some countries already do this for other diseases. Off the top of my head: China, Brazil, Thailand... It also depends on where you're traveling from, so YMMV

As for requirements within one's country, some vaccination is thankfully mandatory for enrolling your kids in school in some countries. It is a given that an adult already has most vaccines, so it is not a specific requirement for employment or getting some services; maybe COVID19 vaccine will be, from now on.

Well, I don't do social media.....but I have been to Mexico more than a couple of times, and aside from the tourism sites, there ain't much else there that is worthwhile at all.

Dude, quit it with the Ignorant American stereotype. In XXI century America, and from an educated tech professional, it's getting old.

Oh. You're serious.

Mexico is a middle-class country, with its obvious slew of social/political/economical problems. It is the 15th largest in the world in nominal terms and the 11th largest by purchasing power parity, per the IMF. Surely you don't think your Chevys and Fords and Kias and Audis and now *gasp* BMWs, are built on donkey-powered production lines, by poncho-wearing peaseants, do you?

There's a nifty little tool called "Google". Or Duck Duck Go, even. Type "modern Mexico". Heck, you don't even have to read (again, the Ignorant Gringo stereotype), just go over the image search results.

There's more to Mexico than Tijuana, the crappy (face it) border cities and gringo-laden Cancún, you know.

And with some of the drug wars now spilling over into the tourist areas, I'm not anxious to ever go visit there again any time soon.

Good riddance, then.
