NEW: America is a rich country. Britain is a poor country with one wealthy region. People love to compare the UK to Mississippi, but it’s far more informative to look at UK subnationally, too. London ranks fairly well, the rest of the country does not 👉 ft.com/content/e5c741…

@MathurNishant @Tesla @elonmusk What's your score now?

I always knew I’m an awesome driver, but this validation from @Tesla makes me blush :P Looking forward to the FSD beta, @elonmusk !

@ritwik_priya Think he was in a hedge fund and then started a biotech company of his own which made him his fortune.

Wait, Vivek Ramaswamy is worth north of $600million, all made post 2008 from biotech stocks??! US, what is even happening bruv. I can't comprehend you.

@TheRealDanSaedi @BobEUnlimited What's the source of this table? It's really cool. @piyushkb

@BobEUnlimited I agree with your overall sentiment as the former banks guy at the mothership, even with large HTM systemwide losses, many of the players managed their books this time a lot better than SIVB (No way BofA with a $100B HTM loss doesn't have offsetting IRS gains somewhere else).

Years ago I led research on the GFC and was way out front suggesting trillions in losses, so I know a little something about crummy banks. Getting panicked calls about the risk of SVB deposit losses, a bank with: 1) 15% tier 1 2) 40% LTV 3) 100% deposit liquidity coverage

A lack of restrictions is the greatest enemy of creativity. The architects, painters, and calligraphers who decorated these mosques were limited by religious doctrine - but that forced them to find a route to extraordinary beauty, one they might not otherwise have found.

Mosques are filled with complex geometry, kaleidoscopic colour, and intricate ornamentation. Why do they look like that?

@JPLuostarinen @spectatorindex Not true. It's year on year increase

@spectatorindex You realize that it is the rise percentage? E.g. from 6% to 8% is a 33% rise.

Finland's annual producer inflation rises by 31.2% in May, the highest on record.

@sajithpai @harshmadhusudan The no live classes model (50%) is also a terrible outcome for kids. 70% suffered massively.

How the schools reacted. To their credit, barring a fifth of schools, they managed.

Excited to release the 1st Indus Valley Annual Report to the world. Indus Valley = our moniker for India's startup ecosystem. The 1st issue gives us a chance to take stock of its rise and evolution, take a look back at 2021 & finally look ahead to what is coming. @amal_vats

@padikkal_vinod I think interesting to add that life expectancy of people who live over say 25 hasn't changed much. Children / babies are dying lesser mainly.

What a chart!

@MathurNishant @Tesla @elonmusk 1 day!

This is basically nationalization of VodaIdea I suppose. Like YesBank. Final buffer is always govt! (rightfully).

@ritwik_priya What's in Reading?

Perils of covid dashboard brain : heard a bunch of kids say " see you in Reading then" on the tube, so mind immediately went " 27 Aug + 4 days = 31 Aug specimen = 2nd Sep reported spike, then".
