a9entroy··on India (2002)
Sim cards charge heavily for "roaming" in other states. A sim card still truly belongs to only one state.

Despite the tax reform, doing any business in India is still a hassle nevertheless.

Indian aviation industry may be competitive, but can a middle-class family really afford an airplane ticket ? No. They are only afforded the option of a second class train ticket which have toilets worse than the one shown in Trainspotting. And I haven't even touched the topic of trains being overcrowded. Seriously, who thought letting any number of people with a ticket on the train was a good idea ?

a9entroy··on How Browsers Store Your Passwords (and Why You Shouldn't Let Them)
But passwords are already available in plaintext. This fact alone means that passwords are not exactly hidden from the logged in user.

As an analogy, say you have a house and you have a drawer where you keep all your secret information. If you really want to keep the information secret, then you shouldn't allow outside visitors inside your house. You could encrypt the secret information to make it difficult for the attacker to read the information. But he still has access to your drawer because you let him into your house. The attacker can install a remote camera near your drawer to see how you decrypt the information, or he can directly see the decrypted plaintext.

So, don't allow anyone into you house.

You forgot "microscopic font size".

Why is this even a thing? Who thought microscopic text was attractive? It's such a turn off. I instantly close a page if I have to strain my eyes to read the text.
