“Oratory doesn't need to have any knowledge of the state of their subject matters; it only needs to have discovered some device to produce persuasion in order to make itself appear to those who don't have knowledge that it knows more than those who actually have it.”

Documentation for most tech teams suck compared to their code: code keeps evolving, documentation rots. To solve this I quit @AckoInsurance to start @FifthTryHQ. Gearing towards beta: would love to chat with you about it. Like or retweet and I will reach out to you.

@alokebajpai @ixigo Alright! Thanks for the prompt response, have sent the booking details on DM to @ixigo Will follow up with them.

@sRathi8 @ixigo In the past, before the lockdown opened, our coverage used to be 3000 but if you booked under ixigo assured the coverage has always been 5000. Rest, the team will check.

@ixigo On your website (images.ixigo.com/image/upload/d…) it mentions the sum insured for trip cancellation as INR 5000. The policy I received says it is 3000. @alokebajpai

@kunalb11 Do you think something like Outsite would work in India? outsite.co

Historically real estate price grew for sea ports or a city’s connectivity to affluent cities. A cheap zip code became expensive when an airport showed up near it. With WFH + internet connectivity thermodynamics, new places with great weather or views may become prosperous.

The vicious cycle of poverty → lack of choice → poverty is ignored & the accident of birth mutates into a conscious choice of staying poor. The way out, like with most of the things, is awareness, compassion, & constant inquiry into systems that govern us. Hope we do it. /End

This complete apathy towards the horrible tragedies & ordeals of the migrant workers and poor people stems from a much rooted, even celebrated mindset of urban India. That the poor deserve it because they are lazy/non-meritorious by choice. [Thread]

We just launched the Covid Tracing Tracker project, a database of the government-backed contact tracing apps around the world, with civil-liberties assessments of each one based on @ACLU criteria. We'll be keeping it updated—help us do so! bit.ly/2xOCscs

Grateful to Hon'ble PM @NarendraModi ji for the clarification that e-commerce companies can only supply essential goods during the lockdown. This will create a level playing field for small retailers.

Building a remote business in a pandemic timeline: (thread)

What I wish it would be: Neo4j What it actually is: Flat files

All the money we spend on weapons & bombs... feels like a bad choice when you only have 5000 ventilators for a population of 66 million during a pandemic.

@Memeghnad Is there an online dashboard that tracks the number of Covid-19 tests done in India on a daily basis?

#coronavirusindia dashboard. This is really helpful to keep a track of the situation in India. covidout.in

I didn't cite the R0 (rate of spread), so here are two studies I read about it. R0 is currently being estimated at being 2.2 WHO says 1.4 Other Data says 3.5 I give the estimate 2-3 as that is the 'general conclusion.' Sources: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… who.int/news-room/deta…

I decided to read almost every paper that exists on #CoronaVirus today. My background is Biology and Neurology and I'm obsessed with catching parabolic trends early, data and medical research. Here is a thread with the latest research Feel free to retweet or cite with credits

@kunalkamra88 Bhai inka process galat hai, ye toh humko bhi pata hai. Not violating another human's private space is one of the basic tenets of liberalism, no? Hum mein aur unmein kya difference reh gaya fir?

Only the liberals who were taking the higher moral ground addressing you folks here - ndtv.com/india-news/why…

@kunalb11 Next time when you go to the loo, take your kindle instead of your phone.

I have struggled to read regularly since starting CRED. Any practical tips or hacks to make sure one doesn’t slip on reading time?

Effortless Stoicism, a thread.

Finally found the motivation to build something with the Raspberry Pi kit I bought more than three years ago! POC for our own personal jukebox :) facebook.com/804574315/post…

So this just happened: - a bot found a vulnerability in a dependency - a bot sent a PR to fix it - the CI verified the PR - a bot merged it - a bot celebrated the merge with a GIF github.com/buildo/react-c…

Hi Twitter, what book are you reading right now?
