Alice Newton-Rex, head of product at WhatsApp: “Alongside of private messaging, people were saying they wanted to hear more about topics, teams and organizations across WhatsApp.”

- I am pretty sure NO ONE asked to hear about more topics and organizations across whatsapp.

Agree. Not all systems require convo mode. I personally find Chat/Convo/IVR type interface slow/tedious. Keyboard/Mouse ftw.

However, A CEO using Power BI with Convo to can get more insights/graphs rather than slice/dicing his data. They do have fixed metrics but incase they want something not displayed.

There has to be a fine line between blatant misinformation and social content. Internet is now a matured technology and now (Social Media, esp.) is easily exploited by various entities. You should read up a bit more on this, rather than blaming META. Our way of life and trust in institutions is under threat due to blatant abuses by Russia. They were also paying $100,000 per video to influencers to create distrust in everything.

When is the last time you restarted your mac? I had this guy complain to me, everything is laggy and chrome is slow (memory leaks?). A simple restart fixed everything. Clear your chrome cache/etc. Disable all extensions you dont use and try again.

If it does not, try another browser.

Browsing for 15 mins on twitter and you can see .eth blue ticked usernames spewing Russian propaganda. Elon fired most of its vetting team and handicapped the reporting function. Adversaries are riding "free speech" on twitter without moderation and are running it. Elon seems to be doing it on purpose as he has an agenda with Peter Thiel/David Sacks.

Facebook/Instagram reporting system works better. Well, after 30 years of the internet, what started out as helpful online community/resource has now sadly been weaponized. I miss the early web 2.0 days (2003 - 2009)

What comes next?

Yes, your model makes sense if you dont require gaming. Asus really makes the best devices. I have been theirs's and HTC fan for years. Had Lamborghini laptop from Asus and HTC diamond phone circa 2008-9.

Hi Peter,

Do you think for Founders, the US EB-5 Green Card Visa can be a good option? (If cost is not a problem)

A recent update: The Visa availability figures for fiscal year 2024 have just been released, and the news couldn’t be better for EB-5 investors – particularly those hailing from China and India. Rather than the typical 10,000 annual EB-5 Visa quota, the allocation for 2024 has surged to 22,233 EB-5 Visas.

I still use adblocker on everything else and I know YT without adblock / premium is terrible.

However, YT premium is only 2-3 USD/mo in India. So, I use that to get ad-free experience on YT and also YT music is great.

Indian Govt. forced the companies to create an e-mandate. At start it was chaos, but I think overall there have been savings. From the article: https://support.google.com/pay/india/answer/11040246?hl=en

"Due to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations, automatic payments in India will be limited to ₹5,000 INR ($60) per transaction. The e-mandate notification also requires Google to set up an e-mandate for your card. This affects all users, but there are some differences depending on whether you're a new customer or an existing user."
