The one that I frequently hear of as a layman (not a lawyer) is Toronto Pearson Airport's Preclearance, which has a very strict and narrow view of the TN Status eligible occupations.
Obviously anecdotal but I've had zero issues with preclearance at Pearson as a TN holder, both crossing and when applying for TN. They usually just ask me some combination of where I work for, what I do, and if I know when my TN expires, and that's it. My experience applying there has also been incredibly uneventful. I guess engineering is a bit easier to do though, especially if you have a strong application that's been done by lawyers.
I've been given hell by immigration about my TN when flying directly into US airports though.
Conversely, preclearance at Pearson royally screwed up my TN visa after claiming that the other ports of entries were doing it wrong. I have received multiple TN from HOU and, in general, I like the CBP at HOU. EWR was always friendly as well in my opinion. I personally prefer getting my TN at land border crossings because they tend to take the "gather all the facts" approach vs. airports have a procedural approach that feels highly dependent on the agent you get. My most recent TN was I-129 which I think is a waste of money but if someone else is paying for it and you have the luxury of waiting in the US, then it's a seamless experience.
Discovered this when :PluginUpdate failed in my vim. It's still in Google index so must have happened very recently. Can't find any post discussing/announcing what happened.

You're over generalizing. Not all enthusiasts value the same point. For some including myself, it's not about acceleration or speed. Automatic (DCT and the new ZF8) has long surpassed manual transmission in almost all aspects of performance. It's similar to how some people like manual espresso machines, film cameras, etc. It's a hobby and you enjoy the process. See how the newest Koenigsegg goes great length to make this weird automatic manual.
The linked Wikipedia article [1] states that there are three cultural groups and all of them have individuals who consider “Eskimo” somewhat to rather to very offensive.
As someone also living in Canada, we unfortunately have a vocal minority that wants to feign offence at anything it can find to criticize. Ignore them.
Thanks for raising this.
In our target markets (SG, HK, Asia) this has not been an issue as majority of people are not aware of this.
But we will take this into account as we expand down the road.
loll i was like "oh no what did Andrew Yang do"... as an asian and non american i was a casual fan of his but kinda knew he had no chance in the primaries. still.. maybe someday.. he's young
Isn't that worse, a big brother in the middle watching everything and even doing TLS termination? Unless it's running on a Tor-like distributed system?
