“…First: the world is filled with both good and evil — it has always been and will always be so. Second: the boundaries between good and evil are permeable and blurred. And finally, third: angels can become demons, and demons, although sometimes hard to comprehend, can become angels.”
“The Lucifer Effect. Why Good People Turn Evil” by Philip Zimbardo

Good coffee is when they don’t ask you what size you want, medium or large. I always remember this when it’s mentioned that software quality requirements are formulated by a customer survey. And there’s no I’m feeling lucky! button there.
Today, while riding the metro, I was studying the map. Some station names really stand out in an odd way.
For instance, the station called max catches the eye. It’s spelled with a lowercase letter. In Arabic, there are no uppercase and lowercase letters, but in English there are, and for some reason, it is written exactly as max. And the translation into Arabic is also literally “max” (ماكس). It turns out it’s named that because it’s a sponsored station by the Max Fashion store chain. In Dubai, it seems you can buy a station for yourself. (In our parts in Virginia, you can sponsor a section of a bike trail, but not to “rob caravans” as you might think, rather to oversee its cleanliness and condition)
The same explanation applies to stations like ADCB, ONPREMISE, equiti, and others.
