@tanayj @Freds_Mulligans Only a fraction of the 2B people in Android have or give credit cards to Google. Most users in India never buy a single paid app and hence no reason to give a credit card to Google

I think it's safe to say tonight's show will set some new records in viewership numbers for #Oscars #NaatuNaatu

Map showing year in which districts of Andhra Pradesh were formed, these are the main districts of AP before the reorganization in 2022. Thread on the history of formation of these districts.

224 pedestrians dead in 2022 in Bengaluru alone. Gone forever for crime of walking.

1,55,972 people dead in 2021 due to road accidents. 400 a day.

If this is not a national crisis, I don’t know what is.

A special session of Parliament and Assembly must be called to focus.

This is an interesting thread!

[Julian Gough @juliangough]

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

@garyblack00 @elonmusk What do you say now?

@wongmjane Sorry to hear you're going through some hard stuff. But please remember that you're appreciated and admired by many. Your life is valuable!

@Marketplace Tech workers are generally kept on the payroll for 2-3 months after layoffs. Is that factored into the unemployment numbers? Could that be why tech layoffs aren't yet reflected in the job losses?

[@[email protected] on Mast @lay_man]

@DivaJain2 There are some incentives that are perverse though. Like exempting Income Tax without a limit, or reporting off loans periodically.

[@[email protected] on Mast @lay_man]

@DivaJain2 And that's different from any other industry/business lobby how? Big retailers lobbies against allowing Walmart, PayTM lobbies against allowing WhatsApp payments. Who isn't lobbying or bribing to protect their own financial interests?

@sharanidli I don't doubt your candidate's genuineness or the main stream part MLA's corruption, but why would Rajya Sabha pay for an MLA's flights? Did you mean to say Vidhan Sabha?

Nostalgia thread! The first bike I learned to ride was my uncle's Luna!

Today, we take a w̶a̶l̶k̶ ride down memory lane.

In this thread (🧵) we will talk about Indian two wheelers that your mom and dad used. You probably learned to ride on one of these vehicles too, let us know!

A guest thread by @nandyellidli! (Three days in a row!)

@pmarca Such a set of passionate engineers with a visionary CEO is what success looks like. I'm sure Twitter will be a decacorn soon, or at least a unicorn! JK. Comedy is legal on Twitter still, isn't it?

Indian right wingers: We want freedom of speech on Twitter!! But ban Vir Das and Munawar Farooqui from exercising theirs!!

@afsal How is this not "what aboutery"?

[@[email protected] on Mast @lay_man]

From Blind. It's no less credible than anything on Twitter! When @elonmusk said he wants to bring non-ad revenue to be 50%, everyone thought that meant increasing non-ad revenues. But Not everyone gets the genius of Musk. It can be done by bringing ad revenues down too!

[@[email protected] on Mast @lay_man]

Internet is abuzz with @elonmusk's thin skin - firing employees for slack messages, and blocking or even disabling accounts for mocking him etc. But I disagree, his skin is unbreakable, just like Cybertruck's glass!!

Apple's Data & Privacy statement starts with the calming phrase "Apple believes privacy is a fundamental human right" then goes on to describe how the platform aggressively collects your data. You must accept the statement or stop using your iPhone.

I'm sure the God of Privacy only gets your stocks and the news articles you read only to protect you in a _privacy safe_ way, in real time!!
