Reminds me of Amartya Sen's quote "...whatever you can rightly say about India, the opposite is also true". A lot of systemic issues will only be resolved as the society progresses, and there is a long way ahead for India.

I'm a dumdum when it comes to understanding stuff about DNS. Why is this bad, and are there any good resources for understanding how these are used by companies to extract more information about our habits?

If these internal apps use a corporate certificate, I would imagine their Apple ID needs to be on a company domain email in order to download/use the app?

> Apple’s move to block Google’s developer certificate comes just a day after Google disabled its Screenwise Meter app following press coverage

So Apple got to know it's terms are being violated after the press attention? Did they already know/is there a way they can detect this is happening? If not, then there could certainly be smaller players who have been routinely abusing this contract? I am trying to understand if Apple knew of this beforehand and are trying to avoid a PR disaster, or were caught off guard(which is scarier imo).

Are there any desks that one has uses and really recommends? I'm not entirely sold on motorized desks, so suggestions for mechanical ones?

I'm surprised at the traffic levels in Dubai given the city's focus on building metro and a fairly decent public transportation system(road and water). What is missing out in this city? These guys have all the money and a free hand in implementing policy without any opposition.

I have wondered at what point will job cuts start affecting the overall supply demand equation as more and more people get out of work and will have less spending capacity. Who will buy more 'stuff' and how? We don't know at what rate the jobs will be replaced, if at all. What will be the equilibrium point then?

Haven't you been pushed about getting an REI membership? I think twice before asking any REI salesman for help, because I know they are going to push me to get a membership. They're doing their job since their incentives are tied to memberships to some degree, but it makes for a poor experience.

/edit:I'd rather be asked about a membership once at the cashier's than by every sales staff I talk to during my visit.

I have noticed that the cashier's have gotten pushy about asking about a Prime account, and very recently about a charity donation. It's a good way to 'make' people donate when asked upfront. I'm sure the probability of people donating increases. When I denied, I was asked if I'd like to round off my payment and have the balance donated. Honestly, it's very annoying. Whole foods is unfortunately becoming an REI store.

How does ConEmu compare to iTerm2? Why do you think its not up to the mark? I have recently moved to a company using windows computers and ConEmu with WSL has been my lifeboat.
