- bonzini 6y agoThere was another great talk by a (former?) ITAsoftware engineer, unfortunately I can't find it. Among various things he shares is that there's provision for the passenger being a child at arrival but not on departure. Which obviously can happen if you cross the date line backwards. It would be great if anyone can find it, I am certain I got it from HN.
