I feel obliged to mention Fiddler. The tool I loved almost 20 years back and felt like it came from future. IIRC it was/is more powerful than Charles. Fiddler was Windows only but at one time they had builds for other platforms in works. Sadly they got acquired which changed their roadmap, and I had also moved on from Windows.
I still use Fiddler Classic, at least once a week when I need to dig-in on a problem. It occasionally gets an update though I can't remember the last time it did.
It's so powerful, especially with the JScript scripting language. Such a powerful tool.
I have the same router. It is great when it works, but goes out often. One trick that has helped a lot is to set it on auto reboot. I have set mine to 4 am every morning and it has been doing great for months now. It is a compromise, but I hardly notice the issue now.
There is another sort of worst case (company's perspective): An employee thinks they need to rebuild their house and needs to do it all by hand, hence will be on leave for the next six months. Or, say, wants to explore Europe backpacking and hence needs break for the next two months.
With unlimited PTO the biggest challenge is to define (both ways) what qualifies for a good reason to go on a leave.
I have enjoyed unlimited PTO wherever I had. But I tried to have my own benchmark of about four weeks in a year. Of course, there have been times when I needed more, and it was fine. There have been times when I didn't need four weeks either, and I was okay with that too!
Unfortunately, it is hard to get those numbers correctly. COVID patients die because of multiple organ failure and unless the deceased was already tested and verified for it, you can't attribute the death to COVID officially. A lot of people pass away without showing visible symptoms or without realizing they need immediate medical attention for COVID.
It would be good to have that attribution and that will require testing the deceased, but given the load on the system, everybody can extrapolate the scale and act accordingly.
Exactly the point I am making. You can do the analysis and determine the scale but you can't change the official COVID numbers.
In fact, that is even the link you shared shows. It compared the overall death rate with the official COVID numbers and proved the numbers are conservative, in US. Of course.

Great initiative! As someone who has worked on Auth systems multiple times, I can so much relate to it. In fact, at one of the jobs I created something quite generic (SSO by SSO, multiple token types, multiple interfaces (including OAuth), multiple password backends, email domain specific verification methods, etc. Wanted to open source it, but then given it was related to security and we were not really a security company, we let go of that plan.
Anger can be real, but don't know if it is informed and rational. All I hear is that it is bad, but not able to find information how. Most of the protestors don't even know the details of what is being changed.
And, frankly, at this stage if you think somebody like Modi or Rahul Gandhi or Kejriwal is about helping their friends make quick buck, the story doesn't add up. In their position they would think and act for legacy and it becomes much more a capability issue instead of intent.
But the proponents of the bill place too much faith in the market. India has never had truly free markets. There is a very legitimate concern that a few big corporations will monopolize the market and leave farmers with no real choice.
The concerns might have been muted if successive governments hadn't shown a willingness to bend and break (or heck, even set new rules) for a couple of major industrialists. As things stand, it is hard to trust the government.
Policy change will continue to happen. And they happen because someone is rooting for them. You can't penalize a Industrialist for being an Industrialist. They are wealth generators and are doing that for a large number of people and not themselves alone (you can argue by how much).
BTW, Farmers have enjoyed their share of handouts which are more or less treated as entitlement now a days:
1. Tax free income
2. Subsidies, lona waivers, electricity bill waivers
3. Minimum Support Price for the longest time
Red cloth is commonly used in Pooja, and you put Red tika (and rice grains) on forhead. Brides traditionally wear predominantly red clothes for certain ceremonies during wedding. Red, Yellow/Amber, and White are quite common during rituals in North. Are they not in South India?
> Brides traditionally wear predominantly red clothes for certain ceremonies during wedding.
This isn't common in south India (to my knowledge).
> Red, Yellow/Amber, and White are quite common during rituals in North.
Yellow is the one that stands out to me, and has religious connotations of purity and sacredness, but not red. (White too does, but for non-religious reasons, including associations with Khaddar and with Dhotis.)
(From another response:)
> All Goddesses wear red colored clothes
In my region, the colours change every day (or in some similar regular interval), and red isn't significantly more prominently used than others.
I can see a sort of link made via the Kumkum/Tika/Tilaka from red to purity, but honestly that would be a stretch and a pretty unlikely association for someone to make when encountering the colour.
