If any NRI is thinking of taking a loan to buy a property in India - deal with any bank except @ICICIBank - The handle @ICICIBank_Care is a joke. For the past six months, they have been making a customer run to get a document for a loan closed back in December! #noicici

As capabilities expand, "productivity" can quickly become a trap of simply moving faster in the wrong direction.

Hey @BedBathBeyond : I cancelled an order placed yesterday within 90 minutes. The order hasn't shipped yet from the warehouse. There's no one to help live and is your IT system so old that you cannot cancel the order and avoid shipping costs from both your end and mine?

@SaroyaHem made an error in the Vantage program today accidentally referring to Iran downing three US planes in friendly fires. It was Kuwait that did that.

@Firstpost : Hem Kaur Saroya made an error in today's Vantage program. She erroneously referred to Iran downing three US planes in friendly fire. It was Kuwait that did that. Hope there'll be a retraction.

@firstpost: Your Vantage program’s new anchor made an incorrect statement on air, claiming Iran shot down three U.S. aircraft. In reality, the incident was a friendly-fire mistake—Kuwaiti air defenses accidentally shot them down.

With LLM competition heating up, companies now keep model details secret. OpenAI’s GPT-3 (2020) had 175 B parameters. Google DeepMind’s Gemini 3 is rumored to be at least 1 T, possibly ~7 T. Interesting read: https://t.co/oQBFi3fQfA

Thomas Edison must be rolling over in his grave. He famously quipped "We shall make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles". The newest PGE bill couldn’t be further from his vision.

The Audacity of Being Right: Ogilvy created this outrageous ad 30 years ago in 1996 for TIAA-CREF to highlight the effects of inflation on future costs for day to day things, reflecting reality today.

@naomi2009 US is not prepared for its diminishing importance in a multipolar world and it will only get worse when China overtakes US in terms of nominal GDP.

US Foreign Policy towards non-NATO has always been transactional than strategic.

[Gopan Madathil @gopanm]

@naomi2009 Three reasons

1) India going public that Trump wasn't involved in the cease fire in the recent skirmish

2) India saying they are NOT going to buy F-35 jets from US

3) India's emergence as a defense supplier to many countries including Phillipines and Vietnam

Suchir’s death investigation update.
Why there is bleeding and wound on knee? Why there is head injury? Why ripped tongue ? Why spitting blood outside the bathroom where crime occurred? Why Date Rape Drug found in the body ? Why Autopsy report does not account for the wounds? Why autopsy report doesn’t include metal object in the skull that was not removed ? How can some one sedated shoot themselves in a weird downward angle ? Why cheek bones are broken ?

All these questions are not answering the cause of death as made by authorities.

Hey @walgreens : ever thought of putting an unsubscribe link in your promotional emails? No one wants to receive your junk emails.

This is a very interesting take on the startups focusing on India B2C market. Blume Ventures is a definitive authority on this space after funding scores of companies focus on India market. https://t.co/tQvq2q4m2f

We are the parents of happy, smart and brave young man Suchir, found dead in his aparment on 11/26/2024. We are seeking to know complete truth, we need more answers. Suchir just went on vacation with his friends between 11/16/2024 and 11/22/2024. He was very happy when he spoke to family on 11/22/2024 at 7.15 pm and was excited about his trip. His time of death is few hours after his last call with family. We dont understand within few hours what happened does not align with his happy mood and return from vacation.@suchirbalaji @elonmusk @GavinNewsom @VivekGRamaswamy @DrSJaishankar @meaindia1
