Source?

I'm not sure for which aspect you are looking for a source. Erin Reed raised the alarm about the potential visa interruptions, as reported here: [1] https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/marco-rubi... If you're wondering why transgender travellers don't have documentation that matches their birth sex, it's because (gender identity aside) it's usually more important for documentation to match one's appeara…

There you have it. Just have the sex on your application match that at your birth. Also what jl6 said.

RISC-V moved to Switzerland as well a while ago. I think it's a shame to see stuff like this happening. Regardless, of where one stands currently in the current environment making standards bodies want to move or move events to other countries is not a good.

Regardless of the political situation, the EU is probably a more friendly environment for a standards body taking their stance in interoperability into account.

Switzerland is not in the EU.

It depends on your citizenship. Some European countries reject 50% Indian Schengen visa applicantions. https://www.cntraveller.in/story/these-3-countries-rejected-...

At least they don’t issue you a visa and then arbitrarily detain you at the border.

Obtaining a work visa in a particular country is not a human right, and their issuance are up to the hosting country’s policies.

Singapore and Australia might also be on the list.

95% of the world's countries inspect your phone at the border for messages critical of the government?

I've travelled several times to the US and never had that issue. Is really a thing?

However our company issues specific laptops and phones before travelling to China as they do get searched.

Is this a parody? > Beyond problems at the border, the current Secretary for Health and Human Services - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - has said that he will send those with ADHD to camps. Source: Futurism. What he actually said: > "I’m going to dedicate that revenue to creating wellness farms — drug rehabilitation farms, in rural areas all over this country," he said during the podcast. "I’m going to make it so people can…

The full quote, as per Futurism: (emphasis mine) > I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall , and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it — to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with c…

So he said nothing about ADHD.

That's a great idea. I can't speak about Mexican alternatives but there are many great locations in Canada for a conference. If the conference was originally going to be held on the west coast of the US then Vancouver would be an excellent alternative and if it was going to be held on the east coast then Montreal is another excellent alternative. Can anyone suggest some viable alternatives in Mexico?

I've been in conferences in Ciudad de México and it was a very pleasant experience. I honestly haven't been anywhere else in Mexico.
