    Dubai has an entire active operation. It looks like it does work, but how well is debated. Seems to have enough of an impact (correlation or causation) that they haven't shut it do…

    Great set of suggestions. I experience a fair amount of over lighting on some calls due to my monitor (a 42" Dell thing, maybe sitting 50-60cm away). Most things I use have dark mo…

    That's not entirely correct. The main purpose is how US federal agencies handle stuff such as digital identities, this includes all digital identities - employees and citizens/othe…

    I'm surprised they're putting SMS 2fa in now. In 2016 the NIST released new guidelines that essentially "banned" SMS 2fa use. It's heavily suggested that US banks follow NIST guide…

    The UX confused me a little. I was first expecting the ability to see if I needed an umbrella _now_ compared to in the future. Then I got stuck for a little while trying to change …

    Being able to tell if it's a US or non-US cup for conversions is something that would be great too. I first look for grams/oz/other as units, then fall back to primary intended aud…

    I'm western, but almost all of my childhood and early/mid teens was spent in Asia. I think growing up seeing all the variety of odd and stinky things made me much more willing to t…

    You would provide this file for them to download alongside where you show the email address; the file would be equivalent to an API key - should be a symmetric key. It's sort of ju…

    Do you have all the mailboxes merge into 1, like a rewrite to email+alias? Or do you connect to a new mailbox per service?

    If we step into the haskell land of monads having explicit functionality kept in individual monads with their own instances would be one way to segment this type of stuff. Somethin…

    With your example lower down, what you're describing is entirely possible both with tailwind[1] (depending how you provide your config), and CSS-in-JS toolkits like emotion. These …
