I usually let the team's work speak for itself, but I wanted to make sure a few larger points aren't lost in this work. Firstly, the takeaway here isn't "NSO exceptionalism". It's just that NSO was caught this time and we get a peek at how they are attacking iOS/iMessage.

I've watched JOHN McCAIN's concession speech many times, but it never ceases to amaze & move me how, in the span of a few short minutes, he manages to convert his supporters' jeers for BARACK OBAMA into applause for his historic election & calls for unity.

Lively panel on what insurtech solves and what it doesn't at the #icii2020 today. Thx for including me @IntMicroinsConf @NetworkFlash
Stonestep's CEO @BSMathews: best way to educate a customer is to solve a specific problem for them - for many it's their first #insurance experience, so it demonstrates tangibility & helps build #trust. #Insurtech #ICII2020 @IntMicroinsConf

Lack of insurance = diminished response to crisis 1.1B people lack insurance in India. Same people lack outpatient. It's causal. ~5B people want & will pay for insurance but supply-side is riddled with legacy issues medium.com/@covind_19 #insurance #COVID19 #Insurtech

Looking forward to participating in Arup's panel #AsiaFinanceForum
Today, we will hear from #microinsurance practitioners about the challenges on the ground, the lack of #trust and the #regulatory challenges, which still need to be overcome to make it an attractive business proposition. @ADB_HQ #AsiaFinanceForum
