We put hiring ad in local Udupi newspaper today. Feeling joyful 😀

Wow. Delve just took down all of their customer logos as well as the entire testimonials tab and page. Never seen a company die in realtime before.

I paused the company credit card used for Anthropic. Every employee that didn’t complain that Claude was down I fired.

🚨 Japan to send help to open Strait of Hormuz

Spoke with President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian and conveyed Eid and Nowruz greetings. We expressed hope that this festive season brings peace, stability and prosperity to West Asia. Condemned attacks on critical infrastructure in the region, which threaten regional stability and disrupt global supply chains. Reiterated the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation and ensuring that shipping lanes remain open and secure. Appreciated Iran’s continued support for the safety and security of Indian nationals in Iran. @drpezeshkian

For context: Delve, a YC-backed GRC platform valued at $300M, apparently got caught generating 494 fake SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR reports. Same template. Same typos. Same pre-written auditor conclusions. Only the client name and logo changed.

@Thinkerks that's the falling INR :)

The USA has become so expensive that a one way taxi from the WTC to JFK costs about 14% of a Mumbai–JFK–Mumbai economy fare.

Went down the rabbit hole on this. A Nobel Prize-winning immunologist noticed in 1907 that Bulgarian peasants were living past 100 at unusually high rates. His explanation: they ate yogurt every day. His name was Élie Metchnikoff, and he ran the Pasteur Institute in Paris. His lecture made front-page news. Parisians lined up to buy Bulgarian curdled milk. Drugstores across Europe and the US started selling Lactobacilline tablets, basically the world’s first probiotics. But his original theory was partially wrong. The specific bacteria in yogurt (Lactobacillus bulgaricus) don’t actually survive in the human gut. A Yale researcher proved that in 1921. Should’ve been case closed. It wasn’t. In 2021, Stanford ran a clinical trial published in Cell with 36 healthy adults over 10 weeks. One group ate about 6 daily servings of fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi, kombucha). The other ate high-fiber foods. The fermented food group saw their gut bacterial diversity increase, which is one of the strongest predictors of overall health, and 19 inflammatory proteins in their blood dropped. Including interleukin-6, a protein tied to Type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic stress. The high-fiber group? Zero of those 19 proteins decreased. That same year, a Keio University and Broad Institute team studied 160 Japanese centenarians (average age: 107) and published in Nature. These centenarians had gut bacteria producing a bile acid called isoallolithocholic acid, basically a natural antibiotic so new to science it had never been described. It kills drug-resistant bacteria, including C. difficile, a gut infection that hits roughly 500,000 Americans a year. A 2023 Nature Aging study of 1,575 people in China, 297 of them centenarians, found the oldest participants had gut microbiomes that looked younger than people decades below them. More bacterial diversity, more beneficial species, fewer harmful ones. The yogurt meta-analysis data across 12 cohort studies: each additional daily serving is linked to 7% lower all-cause mortality and 14% lower risk of dying from heart disease. Metchnikoff called it 119 years ago. Fermented foods reshape your entire gut ecosystem, increasing the diversity of bacteria living in your intestines, lowering chronic inflammation, and building a biochemical environment where your body fights off disease on its own.

UK has joined US and Israel to fight Iran.

CoinDCX co-founders Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal questioned in connection with a crypto investment fraud case involving impersonation. CoinDCX denied the allegations in a statement to Entrackr.

My friend from Mumbai is heading to Bhubaneswar, Puri, Konark, Chilika Lake, Shimilpal...on a trip .... Can you recommend some of the best places and restaurants in Bhubaneswar for him? @BBSRBuzz @devasissarangi

@trengriffin yummmm

People are asking: can you cold smoke bluefin tuna that you caught in addition to salmon? Do you mean like right now? Yes. Will I be making cold smoked beef jerky next? Yes. Alder and apple wood.

Before modern multinational banks reached Southeast Asia, merchants from 75 villages in Tamil Nadu had already built a transnational financial system. They financed rice in Burma, rubber in Malaya, retail in Singapore, plantations in Ceylon — connected not by contracts but by kinship and reputation. This is the story of the Chettiars.🧵

🚨U.S. to allow Iran to get ~14 billion dollars (!!!) in oil revenue 🚨This is a huge financial concession to Iran by the U.S. 🚨It is the first time U.S. is buying Iranian oil since 1996 🚨It's all happening in the middle of a war against...Iran

If US attacks Pakistan, Pakistan will drop nukes on India. That's former Pakistani high commissioner in Delhi. Meanwhile, Indians are seriously debating whether #Dhurandhar is fair in its anti-Pak narrative
