I think the most important thing here was that Alan had a good heart and donated all his money to charity very willingly, he could have spent it all at the end of his days. I applaud his efforts.

Doctors can also recommend an even higher dosage of 600mg 4 times a day to about 2400mg a day if needed.

I know Chinese mainly code in English but can have Chinese comments or occasional Chinese characters in their code but very very rare cos it can mess up the code. Not sure about India but presume its the same cos a lot of Indian programmers are fluent in English.
Agile is used in China and India as well but thats more based on company preference like the US.
For an example of Chinese tech company code, here's Alibaba's github: https://github.com/alibaba
Major Indian tech companies are basically the same US companies like Microsoft. I added Flipkart just in case cos that's the biggest one I know that isn't a consultancy but I'm not sure if it's that representative of Indian coding styles cos they're still at "extremely well-funded unicorn" stage: https://github.com/Flipkart
Note: I used Alibaba cos people know them so I don't need to explain their business and they're roughly the peak of Chinese coding style
EDIT: Found some extra reports that sampled developers in China and India

US is still pretty buddy-buddy with Saudi Arabia despite the Saudis' Middle Eastern regional hegemony in the GCC Gulf Area and the fact that US calling for LGBTQ rights and women rights in Saudi Arabia is almost unheard of (https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/05/opinions/un-death-penalty-res...), so there is more than a moral "protect world human rights" stance here at play when observing US policy, its more realpolitik.
Also there is no like necessary-evil situation here, the other alternative is to enable the Middle Eastern states to embrace democracy and to get rid of hereditary dictatorships.
I feel grouping groups of 18 to 40 year olds (or any other arbitrary starting and ending age depending on the definition of millennial we're using) as one category called Millennial is one of the most confusing terms. You can't even use it as a scientific classification or categorization or even define a person properly using the word Millennial because definitions vary and the person could be 20, 30 or as in this article, 36.
Thus Johnson & Johnson breaking that delicate trust over the issue of vulnerable women and children shows them as profiting from the "weak" and "precious" using products they knew were wrong. Society does not look well upon harmful exploitation at the profit of a few but expense of many, especially when you buy talc powder to use for children trusting that it won't harm you.
I was visiting friends in Kathmandu (likely a decade ago) and had a great time exploring the mountains and the cultural areas. Also if you make lifelong friends, they might give you a khata scarf. You can also buy those gurkha knives if you can take it back home. There was also some bad people but that is common everywhere in the world exacerbated with elements of poverty so don't forget your common sense when dealing with sketchy situations. Theres also definitely pollution building up in the rivers.
Also note that the time I visited was some time after the Nepalese Civil War so soldiers still wandered the streets. However they honestly don't care about what you do, I don't know if they're still around now. As well, electricity and water would be out after 10pm so be prepared for that.

Essentially smartphones are entering the laptop stages of ubiquity and market saturation and making people wonder whats next. Smartphones are also losing their wow factor and just becoming another "commodity".
People are also finding less reason to replace their smartphones and replace cycles are getting longer.
The only double-digit growth is in the lower priced segments in developing nations and whats stopping Apple and other giants is their reluctance to dilute their premium branding.
In comparison, RT, etc. Is almost rubbing it in people's faces even now that it feels overdone.
and I quote: "It is unlawful for a company to monopolize or attempt to monopolize trade, meaning a firm with market power cannot act to maintain or acquire a dominant position by excluding competitors or preventing new entry. It is important to note that it is not illegal for a company to have a monopoly, to charge “high prices,” or to try to achieve a monopoly position by aggressive methods."
"It is illegal for businesses to act together in ways that can limit competition, lead to higher prices, or hinder other businesses from entering the market."

I've see US soldiers in the Middle East while I was there, generically they're just people but in a way theres something strange about a US military base in another country. I was born an expat during the Gulf War period and US is really seen as a big advanced petrodollar bully in the region and has really only brought even more death and chaos to Iraq than Saddam did ironically. Kofi Annan, past UN Secretary General, himself has said that the Iraq war was unjust but then again I'm just reminiscing about something the US and US citizens no longer cares about. Iraq is now just another failed state, and the deaths there don't matter.
Likely the cause celebre might not just be affecting court decisions but cause external effects like other clashes in society so best to keep it quiet to not risk random crises.
As stated on the wiki, likely because the publicity generated could affect the case. This case likely will get a lot of publicity.
"As revolutionaries dismantled ruling government and party organizations all over the country, it was no longer clear who truly believed in Mao's revolutionary vision and who was opportunistically riding the waves of chaos for their own gain"
It might have started as purging in the 1960s but fast descended into infighting at all levels that stopped the economy and industry. People started with revolutionary purposes but then ended up fighting each other for random reasons.
Barnouin and Yu summarized the Cultural Revolution as "a political movement that produced unprecedented social divisions, mass mobilization, hysteria, upheavals, arbitrary cruelty, torture, killings, and even civil war"

A better allegory as hinted would have been the Islamic revolution in Iran because it started off non-violent but called for thought to be focussed around one idea.
