This case is particularly noteworthy because it involves a series of
requests across different jurisdictions and companies, highlighting the
complex interplay between technology firms, user privacy, and law
enforcement. The requests were made under the guise of anti-terrorism
laws, despite the primary activities of the Democratic Tsunami involving

The Indian government has, over the years, awarded contracts worth billions of dollars to Infosys for projects like the Goods and Service Tax portal, Income Tax portal. In all these cases, the implementations are slow and super buggy. Deadlines to deliver are routinely missed. In an ideal world, these companies should not be allowed to exist.
Now, the interesting this is the recent complete refactor of the country’s income tax portal. It was messy, but I feel it was heavenly compared to the clusterF that was healthcare.gov. So what are your thoughts on this being a WITCH specific problem?
It was fixed because a govt minister threatened them with jail time in the end. That set them straight and they fixed the monstrosity to save their ass. Can't reveal more details.

I did typeset in masters thesis in ConTeXt. It worked okay enough, but for me, it didn't provide any features that make up for the increased time spent searching for stuff because there's less documentation and a much smaller community.
I also used it to typeset a project report which had some msword specific formatting rules. I found it more customizable than LaTeX in that regard, but I did have to read the docs a lot more.
