And then there is the hard part of moving up the GDP per capita. What do you think it would take to go from India current level of $2,277 to China level of $12,556 to a Singapore level of $72,794 (US is $69,287)?

Re:Figma vs. Adobe XD on Saturday September 17, 2022 @06:24AM (#32876367)
Yes, but no-one does this without evidence. These terms apply even if you use any of their free stuff like acrobat reader. And even when you trial any of their apps.

Not to mention they stopped doing these kind of audits in US per my understanding. In other countries they still seem to be doing them. There is a whole set of firms to help you with these audits.

Re:Figma vs. Adobe XD on Saturday September 17, 2022 @06:02AM (#32876253)
Not many realize that when you use an adobe product you are giving them a right to conduct an audit of your organization. These are typically fishing expeditions by consulting companies like E&Y. The last time they sent one of these mails - I had bluntly told them their products are crap and we are heavy users of figma.

From https://www.adobe.com/in/legal/terms.html 15. Audit Rights. If you are a Business, then we may, no more than once every 12 months, upon seven 7 days’ prior notice to you, appoint our personnel or an independent third-party auditor who is obliged to maintain confidentiality to inspect (including manual inspection, electronic methods, or both) your records, systems, and facilities to verify that your installation and use of any and all Services or Software is in conformity with its valid licenses from us. Additionally, you will provide us with all records and information requested by us within 30 days of our request in order for us to verify that the installation and use of any and all Services and Software is in conformity with your valid licenses. If the verification discloses a shortfall in licenses for the Services or Software, you will immediately acquire any necessary licenses, subscriptions, and applicable back maintenance and support. If the underpaid fees exceed 5% of the value of the payable license fees, then you will also pay for our reasonable cost of conducting the verification.

Re:Reasons to ditch Chrome and use Firefox on Saturday May 28, 2022 @08:55AM (#31539959)
My reasons for switching to Firefox were IT related. IT security divisions in some orgs are so paranoid that they won’t allow saving form data or passwords. Or even let sessions persist and will make work hell. They do this for corp standard browser - Google Chrome it is. Firefox saves the day.
They should just shut their dev center in India and ask staff to relocate. The government can easily block them, but the optics of that would not look right. So this whole play around law and regulations.

Thank you for clearing that up. Even I made the mistake of thinking this was about CDNs.
