If you will be continuing to work remotely and your main concern are time zones, have you considered moving to Latin America? A few countries now have pretty good digital nomad visas; Mexico City is a good option for this.
If you’re set on the US, work for a company that has a subsidiary abroad (Ireland, Canada, India, etc) for a year and then they can get you a US L-1 transfer visa. That way you get past the H-1B lottery. But you will still need continued visa sponsorship until they process a Green Card for you, which can take a decade or more, if they sponsor it at all.
On a large complex single page webapp, it can be very non-trivial to have a popup/modal over everything else in the page. That’s why things like React Portals[0] exist, as well as many, many libraries that provide similar functionality. z-index is not an absolute number and depends on your stacking context.

How is what that's doing any different from figuring out element A's desired position in the coordinate space of the body, or in the local coordinate space of element B, and then appending it to one or the other in an absolute positioned wrapper? I've written very large single page webapps that have dropdown menus with sub-menus that are almost entirely CSS with just small amounts of vanilla JS to adjust their screen positions. Sometimes a really lightweight library is useful, but requiring the whole React framework seems like total overkill. On the other hand, adding a new HTML tag for the purpose of popup modals seems unnecessary.
That seems to me like their import tax is working.
I wish more countries had import taxes of this sort, they tend to push the nation to be a bit more diversified in their economy since they provide air cover for small local concerns.

Kind of. And you can see it worked for India; they started making iPhones there because of the import tax and over time are exporting iPhones from India.
But there's a lot of products that aren't big enough to justify production in multiple locations, and Brazil tends to get those very late, if at all, because the import tax makes the prices way too high. Maybe video games aren't important, but Brazil has a wildly different experience with them than the rest of the world, because of the import tax.
Also, I think only the really populous countries can manage this style of tax. With smaller countries it's easier to accept the loss of sales and avoid the expense of local production.
For things they don’t produce sure. But my hope is that they would wind up having better economies since their Local economy might be a bit shielded from international trade
I used to print web pages out and read them on the train, then there was a lovely web plugin to send a web page to kindle, that stopped and did leave lots of files on my kindle.
This looks like it could top that, I just don’t commute so much.
Heart rate levels during exercise also depend on age and sex (among other things). This is how you can get heart rate zones to know how intense your exercise is.
The interest rate doesn’t matter if you use the card as cash/debit by paying it off every month. And credit card rewards are not taxable because they are considered rebates by the IRS.
Reading and highlighting is definitely much better on an iPad than a laptop. Writing and web browsing can also be great. Since you already have a laptop, maybe take a look at the iPad Air instead of the Pro, it still supports the Pencil and external devices and USB-C, if you don’t need the power or the 13” display. As others have mentioned, coding on the iPad is really not feasible without some hacky setup (remote dev environments).
Even with PrEP available, HIV would likely still have become a big problem in places where healthcare is not as readily available, especially in Africa, where it is still a major concern today.
Not to mention how many guys in the 80s lived in denial. They were afraid to tell their wives, their friends and their family, much less get a prescription from the doctor.
Closeted men living straight lives, would go out for a night of indulgence and the next day were overwhelmed with great regret and fear. PrEP doesn’t fit anywhere in that equation.
How similar is this book to CODE by Charles Petzold? I loved that book because it progressively builds up an imaginary computer using very easy to understand concepts. Even non-technical people can read it to understand how computers work internally.
The Elements of Computing Systems is a project-based course, starting with transistors going through building a computer and then an OS and software on top of it. Code goes deeper into the history leading to modern computers, but doesn't offer this project-based experience from the transistor level up. IMO, the two books offer a nice complement to each other.
I read CODE before reading The Elements of Computing Systems. I felt like the former provides details that you actually implement in the latter. Highly recommend both and in that order.
"Elements of Computing Systems" is more detailed and involves you actually creating (virtually) a working computer starting from NAND gates. CODE is much more introductory.
Petzold's Code is a popularization aimed at non-technical readers, as you said. ECS is a textbook aimed at college-level CS and Comp. Eng. students and goes into sufficient technical depth for the reader to build their own digital computing systems.
