None of them are owned by the creator of Codebuff. Why not create something to replace or be at the same level as those? Also, who is "we"? I don't use or like none of these.

"Latin America" is an US-American invention. It is all America. The US is just one of the American countries (and culture, which is very similar to the other American countries but rich).

Don't think "Latin America" is a US invention, the term "Latino" is, though. Latin America is just a term for the countries in America colonised by romance language countries. As the sibling comment says the exact definition varies, but wouldn't say it's a US invention.

What you say about the US just being one of the American countries is correct, and it's often a source of confusion (intended or not)


> Don't think "Latin America" is a US invention, the term "Latino" is, though

You are right. But also the term Latino "creates" Latin America, which are the countries Latinos come from. And then also a subculture of immigrants in the US, which funnily is a bit excluding of Brazilians as not real Latinos (as there is also a expectation that everybody below the US speaks Spanish).


No, Latino is a US person of latinoamerican origin, it's something they invented. For example, I am latin american, but don't consider myself Latino since I'm from South America, but not from the US.

It's a bit of a complex issue since it's the US taking over a term or culture and normalising it as the only valid one.


> You are right.

You should have stopped right there.

Latino is a US term to refer to people in the US by their origin.

Outside of the US people use Latinoamérica to refer to the central and South American former colonies of France, Portugal and Spain.

Iberoamérica is used too if you want to be more specific and exclude the French colonies


> Iberoamérica is used too if you want to be more specific and exclude the French colonies

Oh yeah it's very funny when you start the "actually Quebec is part of Latin America, but the Guyanas aren't, except for French Guiana, which isn't actually a country, and about Louisiana...."


That is why we get back to "Latin America" doesn't exist :) It is all America, for the grievance of US Americans.

> Venezuela was invading Guyana

Venezuela was threatening to invade Guyana*


All of them together are a fraction of YouTube audience. Big tech is the mainstream media

Big Tech is the mainstream media, the old media is being kicked like an old dog

That's great advice then! HN is mostly comprised of people looking for tips on how to go from 0 to 1, not to 0 to 100.


> they probably don't appreciate comments insinuating the result is a disappointment

There is a post about the acquisition by the founders. That is the post to comment positive things about them. Whatever things any other people wants to talk about Causal product and Lucanet acquisition of it is allowed here, following the guidelines. And not poking into difficult questions isn't in that list of rules.


> "new pizza place that makes dessert pizzas"

That would be Brazilian pizza!


Bots signing up is a solved issue and I didn't get the memo?

I make up random phrases as answers to the stock question, a bot could do the same so, I may be missing the point you're making, sorry.

What other countries pay for healthcare, the US taxpayer pays for their military (much more actually) so for the end user, free healthcare is much better.
