I'll post an example for the parent just in case they are honestly confused about use cases. Here is one that happened to me. I had an eSIM on my iPhone. My iPhone broke (screen be…

So for Visa Waiver countries one of the requirements is to keep that number under 1% or so to stay in the visa waiver program. For visa required countries, if the visa vetting proc…

It's well known that people often lie on visa applications and try to immigrate illegally. The US publishes a yearly review of overstayers broken down by country of origin. So you …

I have several examples and lots of personal experience. I’ve been asked to go back from Mexico, Brazil, and Chile while traveling there and applying for a visa to Peru. Finally th…

This was already the case for almost every other country. Most embassies required you to be resident or a national of the country you are applying in. So oddly, the US was far more…

Thanks for posting context. I was pretty annoyed at Revolut after reading the twitter thread but didn't know about this part of the situation. Of course, it's not obvious from the …

Thank you for having the time and patience to reply to everyone about psychotherapy and how it's not a one-stop-shop to fix all your issues. I feel the same but honestly do not hav…

I agree with you 100%. What I don't get is the tradeoff that happens in this case for sites that do not necessarily need to be secure by design (what about a news site that has no …

What I don't get is why the industry has decided to force encryption with HTTP/2? The spec does not require TLS however almost every single major browser only supports HTTP/2 with …

What about social circle? This is the biggest question I have when I think about moving to a small place. And when you say small, how small do you mean - and where? A village in, s…

Would you mind sharing your contact info with me? I'd love to pick your brain about some of this stuff, especially your perspective on Berlin, startups, tech cofounders, etc.. I ch…

I read your article and found it quite interesting. However, all the points you raised would have been more interesting if you'd have gone deeper into them. Like raising tech wages…
