🧵 China’s population collapse is now mathematically irreversible.

There simply aren’t enough women left of childbearing age.

Even if the fertility rate magically returned to replacement level (2.1 children per woman) tomorrow, the country would still lose more than 40% of its population by 2100.

It won't. The real number is 75%. There's nothing like it in history. 🧵

Billions of hours of human effort go into navigating checkout flows every year.

Allowance is changing this — just say what you want and AI agents handle checkout with spend-limited, one-time virtual cards.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Allowance (@useallowance) lets AI agents safely make purchases using one-time virtual cards with built-in guardrails for things like travel booking, price tracking, reservations, and e-commerce checkout.

Congrats on the launch, @dasmersingh!

Emojis >>> words

It’s odd that emojis (on iPhone/Slack) can’t be searched by special characters 🤯..you need to type out multiple words to get the right emoji 😒

Search with
- $ doesn’t show cash emoji(s)
- ? or / doesn’t show punctuations

@RobinhoodApp : FYI - stock split shouldn’t reduce the market cap.

@aditishekar Thanks! Features - 2,3,5 are there on Apple Card and I find them valuable.

IMO, over time such UX features will become like a commodity and the key differential factor for stickiness will be APR, Rewards, credit limit — which is unsurprisingly better with large banks. Wdyt?

@aditishekar Can you share more about the card UX that you are excited about?
