If junk food giants see India as a lifeline, Indians must worry about our waistline. Since junk food is engineered specifically to be addictive, people need help to avoid over-indulgence. Indian food safety regulators must step in to regulate.

Re: news.ycombinator.com/item?id… Crazy to see how poor most of my VC funded friends are, literally scraping by Meanwhile my bootstrapped friends are entering HNWI and UHNWI category now buying luxury yachts and mansions (not my thing but good for them) 10 years ago all of them were broke! Founding a VC funded startup is usually 1-5% odds of success or less When u do get successful you only keep 5-10% of equity usually (esp w/ cofounders which is usually reqd to even get VC funding!) but then 1/3rd goes tax so 2.5-5% of $100M-$1B so $2.5M to $50M But u can get the low end of that $20M-$30M if you bootstrap solo properly for 10 years ($1-3M/y biz @ 5x and high margins and save money and invest in ETFs properly) I think impt thing to note is that VCs have a big interest in manipulating public opinion in startup world to make founders think they need VCs and they have the money to spend on it with PR Indie bootstrappers have no incentive to do that at all which is why you hear much less about indie founders in press and public opinion etc while it's a big part of the economy realistically as it's part of small and medium businesses (SMBs are 44% of US GDP!) I think

7.5 Lakh Indians went abroad to study in 2022. Let's keep that in mind while also congratulating @iitbombay on the QS World University Rankings. #HigherEducationExcellence #QSWorldRankingUniversities

If you don’t prioritize, everything seems urgent and important. If you define the single most important task for each day, almost nothing seems urgent or important. Oftentimes, it’s just a matter of letting little bad things happen (return a phone call late and apologize, pay a small late fee, lose an unreasonable customer, etc.) to get the big important things done. The answer to overwhelm is not spinning more plates—or doing more—it’s defining the few things that can really fundamentally change your business and life.

The days come and go like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant friendly party but they say nothing. And if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them silently away. - RALPH WALDO EMERSON #quoteoftheday

The first LMS was invented by psychology professor Sidney Pressey. The idea behind was to allow teachers to focus on more inspirational and thought-stimulating activities for their students. #Edwisely #LMS #facts

So it's pretty clear that lots of people are going to have AI friends and relationships. Which probably means there will also be people with AI spouses. And some of those couples will have kids (using a donor). So there will be future kids with one human parent and one AI parent.
