I remembered "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" as @PeterDiamandis explained the advance in biotech to @robert_glazer. In the future, we could order (3D print) organs 😳

India should colonise the UK. There is never before a better time 😜
@airvistara’s 24 hours somehow stretches to 3 days. Rescheduled a ticket on 24th. Ticket is still not released even though fully paid. Every call is either put on hold (have been on hold for 20 min once) or told it will be sent in 24 hours.

Reading the amazing “India’s vaccine growth story” by @Sajjan95 Dr. Sajjan makes a point that vaccines are not only about health. But they are about kids education, women in economy as well. Vaccines are bedrock of developing a economy - both of a family & country.
• Billions spent on customer experiences; relatively none on employee experience • A CEO takes effort to know everything abt a client (including birthday, dog’s name…); may not even know the top 10 best employees in a company Indie makers like @mijustin are changing that.

Never thought of this. Thanks Hari. Charity could be in the form of knowledge as charity is using what you have for the welfare of others.
This is an interesting project. Create rich Python apps for the browser using HTML & @pyscript_dev Python is the 2nd best language for every development. May be it will become for front end apps too.
This is a fun & insightful episode. Main points: • atelic & telic activities • life spent maximising a single metric is a path to slavery • Steve Jobs may not have been a great parent. But he made life better for many people
Documentary about journalist @ravishndtv wins an award at Toronto international film festival. You would assume NDTV will have this on its front page. But no. Looks like they haven’t even reported it.
