@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
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.

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.
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.

@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?
@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?
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!

@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?

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!!
