Calvin Tomkins will be 100 years old tomorrow. What a splendid long-lasting career 🙏

@marcrandolph So on point!

You can’t fall in love with a problem by staring at it on a whiteboard.

It’s got to be interesting enough at first sight that you are willing to start trying to solve it, but ultimately it will grow on you.

The more you try and the more you learn, the more nuanced the problem will become.

The more you’ll understand about what the problem really is, and what is the best approach to take.

It is rarely (if ever) linear.

@Star_Knight12 How does that matter? The question should be - is the content useful?

Reportedly, Delhi government has banned Tandoors to fight air-pollution. What else has been done?

GRAP-3 restrictions imposed. What this means? All non-essential construction work banned, stone crushers, brick kilns and mining operations banned, and BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers banned.

I am also reading the reports that hybrid or online classes for students up to Grade 5 has also been initiated. Complete WFH when??

Anyways - All good steps. ON PAPER. Hoping for the best 🙏

Australian media is shockingly lenient. Just calling terrorists “you bastards”? Shameful!

They should learn from Indian media. We go full harsh and abusive with labels like: “son of a headmaster,” “belonging to a poor family,” “PhD scholar,” “once a bright student,” “a cricket aspirant whose dream was crushed,” “loved poetry, fed stray dogs, neighbours still in shock,” etc.

How worse can it get? Om Shanti 🙏

@DentesLeo They say there is an audience for everything?!

[Navalism @NavalismHQ]

If you can't decide, the answer is No.

@prabhatpraneet @talk2anuradha Bigger gangster than Shahabuddin?? Really? Are we not reading any history?

[Durgesh Kumar @kumar_dd21]

@ayusshsanghi @zerodha should enter into this. Huge fan of the way they do business!

[Durgesh Kumar @kumar_dd21]

Typical case of "solution looking for a problem". Is this even required at this stage?

These companies are betting that computing will move from our pockets to our faces (AR glasses). If that happens, they want to be the ones who own the operating system and, critically, the payment rails on that new platform.

Been using @comet for 2 months... By far the most superior browser out there🤯

I don't understand why more people aren't talking about it... @AravSrinivas @perplexity_ai

🧵10x your productivity with these simple shortcuts:

[Durgesh Kumar @kumar_dd21]

I am currently exploring @perplexity_ai browser @comet and it has amazed me. Here is what stands out:

1) Clean interface with a beautiful split screen for the assistant.
2) Amazing feature that summarise the current webpage. Let's say you are researching on EVs in America. Search it-> multiple tabs will open - click on summarise and it will give you exceptional insights in seconds.
3) Scheduling - You can assign tasks to the assistant and forget. It will give you pinpointed high-quality output at a designated time daily.

The use-cases are endless. Let me know if anyone needs a complete guide. I can share it with you:)

India's e-commerce Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) during the first week of the 2025 festive season, showing a dramatic 29% year-on-year increase compared to 2024.

What's driving this? GST cuts? Something else?
