In my team I have a policy to not depend on Google, apart from obviously, Android.

Their KTLO on every product is absolute poo — will take an MS equivalent any day of the week.

I mean Microsoft Access is still around

This is very common in India, especially in the Parsi community.

There's Screw-wala, Tyre-wala, Daaru-wala/vala (Daaru in some Indian languages is drinkable alcohol), Ganja-wala (Ganja is weed), so on and so forth.

The suffix "Wala" means a sort of ownership or such. So an Ice-cream vendor, in some Indian languages, would be "Ice cream wala". Same with a Tyre-store owner, Tyre-wala. And these surnames took after the trades their families were involved in. So the local pub owner's surname became Daaru-wala.

TSA looks like a govt. run molestation program in internet testimonials.

Based on the many stories published about TSA experiences, and based on my own personal experiences (nothing scary like this 2013 story), I conclude that TSA does not have particularly high standards for intelligence or empathy.

And to be fair to some of the TSA employees, their jobs look really sucky. Add to that a sense of power (because obviously they have the power to ruin your trip and perhaps your life if it causes you to end up on the no-fly list), and you've got a volatile situation.

I can’t imagine a worse job government job than being a TSA agent. Other federal agencies think you are a joke, the public mostly hates you and/or thinks you are a joke, and you make no money, and it’s a boring job were you have to stand up all day and talk to people at an airport. Oh and there are no real prospects of career advancement especially at the lower levels, and the job skills are not incredibly applicable in the outside world.

Now this, is GOLD

Ex-Infosys guy here. It's just the mid-level managers are clueless. So their best shot is appeasing clients. I was lucky to have a manager for a while who knew his stuff and he did push back on irrational demands pretty systematically.

Yes, but to point out the obvious: when people at the top don't care about culture, what you get is toxic culture.

It is toxic. Two kinds of people actually do survive there, those who can out-toxicate the environment and the ones blissfully ignorant.

Is this a chrome API or chromium API? For the later case we have Chromium Edge(https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com), which is just as good! If it's chromium API then Microsoft may actually end up taking a fork off chromium codebase right away and decide to keep that alive.
