BREAKING: A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts, per NYT.

In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.

Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, and the Trump family’s deals are expanding.

Differentiated pricing of Uber based on mobile model/os is closest to legal scam you can get: 2x price on newest iPhone, 1.5x price on newest OnePlus and 1x on old android for same source, destination and time. Pretty shameless in repeating same behaviour cc: @UberIndia @Uber

Futuristic idea for food delivery : Provide journey of prepared food with food delivery, how it was made and packed. This can give confidence about hygiene of the delivered food. Users can also share these videos on social media, that would be another plus

I read the information Apple put out yesterday and I'm concerned. I think this is the wrong approach and a setback for people's privacy all over the world.

People have asked if we'll adopt this system for WhatsApp. The answer is no.

Ahmedabad BRTS and other such BRTS systems in different Indian cities can let private vehicles pass through priority lanes albeit with very high chraged to maintain exclusivity @TOIAhmedabad @AmdavadAMC @AhmedabadBRTS

[Samkit @samkit993]

With widespread availability of RFiD tags aka fastags in Indian vehicles, mainly four-wheels, govts can think of using it beyond highway tolls.(1/n)

[Samkit @samkit993]

One very common use case I can think of is chraged access to priority lane, parking lots and many more such places (2/n)

Shazam for screenshots to identify corresponding tv series or movies would be good handy thing for introverts to understand cryptic screenshots shared on insta storeis :-D

It is fairly easy to accomplish n force Chinese smartphn sellers to follow dis. While h/w manufacturing capacity can take its own time to build, dis wll make sure dat good quality, affordable and secure smartphone experience is available to all (n/n) @Wangchuk66 @amitabhk87

[Samkit @samkit993]

The reality is you can't get rid of Chinese smartphones. There might not be immediate alternative. How about having forcing them to use verified stock android as mandatory custom ROM, which makes sure that we don't have intrusive apps and OS inside everybody's pocket. (1/n)

[Samkit @samkit993]

This ROM for Android can be as close to stock android as possible. It gets rid of intrusive custom UIs and apps and also let these smartphone companies do business. This solves multiple problems where you get cheap/reasonable smartphone with solid and secure UI. (2/n)

[Samkit @samkit993]

So finally, this might happen soon. It would be welcome move to show country of origin and value of work done in India to be shown properly ecoms website. It should also be part of product packaging. So that, offline buys also get this info. @amitabhk87 @Wangchuk66

[Samkit @samkit993]

Amid all the talks about using local products, it would be great to have clear marks on all major products about % of their source. For eg, Xiaomi phone based on value of parts, 80% Chinese made and 20% India made, this can be diff on basis of no of parts

It has been a while since I am up for Mornings.. Birds chirping, people jogging and doing yoga. Soft sun rays. I love this setting. If I ever get to "Upload (2020)" like setup, I will forever keep my theme to blissful mornings.
