The analogies with the visa/passport are good, except the one about Meltdown:
Because she doesn't have a North Korean visa, she (somehow) checks the expiry date on someone else's North Korean visa, and then (if it is about to expire) runs out to renew it
Maybe try this version: she calls the embassy to ask if she needs to renew her visa (which she doesn't have). The clerk, who has access to all the visas ever issued, tells her that no one has a visa that expires in the next few months, so she is good. This way, you find out about other people's expiration dates.
- cperciva 9y agoI agree that analogy makes more sense, but I wanted an analogy which involved my girlfriend doing something impossible -- because a process accessing memory it doesn't have permission to access is supposed to be impossible.
