@SamsungCareUS @Samsung @SamsungUS I have been trying to get a service request handled by your team for the last 6 months. You guys are not even responding to my service requests. Is there anyone who can help me out

@Akshat_World Interesting point of view. But inefficiencies are everywhere. What do you think is a barometer for right use of tax money. It might be different for different people and govt has to do the job of doing it right for everyone. I not not criticizing your post, genuinely asking

Imagine going to a restaurant. And, paying 5000Rs/person for dinner. You get served undercooked dish. That too on dirty cutlery. You call the waiter. They show attitude too. Finally, you leave disappointed. You write a negative review. But, to your surprise: people start bashing you. They give you lectures like: - Why don't your cook your own food? - Other restaurants also serve sub-par food? Why can't you be more positive? - Who spends 5000Rs/person for dinner. What do you do? You simply move on to better restaurants. ***** This story is no different from paying taxes. Honest taxpayer's job is to pay taxes. Government's job is to generate decent ROIs on those taxes. That's where the relationship ends. There is no higher purpose here for the government or for you. If one person does their job honestly, but the other does not. It is a toxic relationship. People (who can afford to walk out) simply choose to walk out of toxic relationships.

@shivkumar85 @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice @JEET Sad that you had to go and talk. If the law says 10:00pm noise should stop right before 10:00pm, not even a single minute more.

Hi @MumbaiPolice This same set of ppl continued to blast high decibel music during visarjan. Over an hour right below our window. Our 4 month old has a hole in the heart, and was twitching all through this. Cc:@CPMumbaiPolice @jeet

@Akshat_World Interesting that you are placing confidence on Nike

My first portfolio in the US hits 1Mn$. And, it now beats 99% of the Mutual Funds. This entire fund has been built transparently in front of students. We pay 0% commissions. I will be building another AI, Robotics, Energy focused Portfolio (with another 1Mn$) now. We are still in the early stages of AI adoption. And, I strongly believe that this could be the theme of the decade. So my new fund would be a 100% vertical and foundational AI fund. This is high-risk, high-reward. The markets are heated (no doubt). And, I expect a corporate earnings slowdown, so I will keep 2 years as the deployment period for this fund. AI is an exciting space to study. And, I don't mind being an extremely concentrated investor in this space. Let's see how it goes :)

@go_uttarakhand @pushkardhami Remember, just because we created a diversion, water and nature will not follow that. We have to follow what nature tells us. There is still time, start respecting the ways of nature

BREAKING: Dehradun: A massive flood has struck the Khir Ganga river in Uttarkashi, with water surging into Tharali village. Many individuals are feared trapped, prompting immediate response from disaster teams. @pushkardhami

@viditchess Get the MacBook pro 14 inch laptop (at least M3 chip) It is an amazing machine, I use it for coding and can handle heavy tasks easily. Also, 14 inch, so much easier to carry in bag pack. But check the weight, laptop+ charger weight - not light.

MacBook Air vs Pro, Any recommendations? Need something portable but also able to handle more than lightweight tasks.

@willowtv app crash. Paid to watch India pak game and cannot see it.

@JellyIvy Seems to be miss in #2 as the overall income tax in never 40%, if you calculate tax rates as per slab, your tax will never be more than 30% overall. This 40% might be including VAT on petrol + GST. But then you should exclude #3 where GST is listed.

Had to make a list about "cons of living in India" as well. What am I missing?

What’s the most useful gadget you purchased in 2024 that has significantly improved your daily life?

@Memeghnad I am sure this is a question that every UPSC student prepared for and says during mocks. Just implement the answers given by those aspirants, I am sure they will have much better solutions than ministry

OK delhi people I have a question for you. Realistically speaking, how do you think the government can solve the pollution problem? (and I mean both state and centre when I say government)

@Memeghnad It all started with rain patterns shifting and farmers not being allowed to plant crops before monsoon.invest in ground water harvest and other water table improvement methods so that the crops can be planted in April again, as it used to happen earlier

@Memeghnad Like in US, use high quality machine and processes during construction. In US the local pollution due to construction is minimal

@Memeghnad Steps from govt side: Center govt should buy stubble removal machines and rent it out to farmers on time sharing basis. Be super strict with industries and construction owners. Have checks and ban industry that produces more pollution than a limit. Will is more important than law

@Memeghnad First of all, all NCR people should protest in front of Delhi and center govt office, and demand no tax on income, no GST, no VAT on fuel for all days that the AQI is in severe category.

@YourRealAsset Amazing that they are taking a self discount of 200 if you have to clean 3 toilets instead of 2

In a city of high rises, our humanity keeps sinking lower. A society collectively fixes house helps rates, a mere Rs 1,000 a month to clean utensils twice a day! Accept or be debarred! We preach fairness, but as soon as people get power, we use it to exploit anyone we can!

@TheDeshBhakt @financewsharan ... alongside proper health insurance and HR support for 3 months to find a new job. And at the least, do not flex profit numbers at this time, accept that there were some mistakes, show some empathy towards employees and display your numbers only in internal communication.

@TheDeshBhakt @financewsharan @TheDeshBhakt It is the norm. Every business would like to do optimizations to maximize the bottomline and/or top line numbers of the company. I am not sure how it was handled though, if it was the only option then a proper severance pack should be given alongside...

Why would a company earning 67 crores annualised revenue with with a healthy 35-40% EBITDA suddenly sack 15% of its workforce @financewsharan?? Your explanation seems bizarre to say the least - you have enough money to sustain your fancy 5000 sq ft office, enough reserves to put 10cr. investor money into FD - but just because some new 'AI tool' came - you decided to let go of around 40 people? Is that how you run companies now? Is that the financial advice you will give to thousands of your clients? Is this a new financial planning model? Sure the sackings could be performance linked - but then 15% at one go? Also what's this revolutionary AI tech you have implemented? Has @getonepercent made AI sentient or what?

@veritasium @stevenstrogatz Amazing video, I have a question, at some point, your guest said that the derivative being zero does not guarantee that it is a minimum. I did not get that point. Can you explain more? This point is made towards to end of the video
