People need to be able to close an account as easily as they open one, if not easier. Making it easy to open an account but impossible to close one is the oldest dark pattern in the book. I think we are one of the few apps where the account closure option is clearly visible. We (@zerodha) close around 15,000 to 20,000 accounts every month for reasons ranging from company policies and trading losses to moving to another broker. It might sound counterintuitive, but allowing customers to close their accounts easily is the mark of a good business.

68 million laptops get "upgraded" every year for a problem that has nothing to do with the hardware inside them. Not the CPU. Not the RAM. Not the SSD. Not age. I spent an afternoon with an IT technician who has personally repaired over 400 laptops for friends, family, and small businesses over the last decade and what he told me completely changed how I think about "slow" computers. "Nobody's laptop actually dies at 2 years," he said. "What dies is patience. Windows Update alone can eat 40% of your CPU in the background, permanently, silently, unless you go in and touch one specific setting most people don't even know exists." He walked me through the exact 9 settings he checks, in order, every single time someone hands him a laptop and says "it just got slow for no reason." None of them cost money. None of them require new hardware. Most take under 60 seconds each. Here's the full breakdown 🧵

#Forward Mr. Parekh did not increase his personal stake in HDFC ltd thru esops ( Ref to link attached- Menaka's intv with Mr Parekh 2023.) But when it came to HDFC’s stake in HDFC Bank, he was very clear about maintaining it. He never allowed HDFC’s stake to fall below around 20%. That was a deliberate position maintained by HDFC right up to the merger. That is the difference in philosophy. There are people who, when they quit or exit, sell everything for their personal benefit. Mr. Parekh’s approach was very different, he always believed in creating and sharing wealth with the larger HDFC family benefitting staff at the lowest possible incl office boys. If he wanted he could have allowed himself to take larger share of ESOPs by limiting it only to middle and sr employees and not all staff as per the general practice across most corporates.
Deepak Parekh allowed his stake in @HDFC_Bank diluted gradually n the powerful MD-CEO Aditya Puri bought his “ change agent “ as his successor, without giving much weightage to Mr Parekh. The change agent “ changed “ his tracks n allowed the merger of HDFC Ltd much to the disappointment of his ex-mentor / shareholders. This is how power games r played.

SEBI caught "India's Jane Street" scam today. The entities - Prrsaar Sampada Private Limited and Chaubara Eats Private Limited. Prrsaar had a Broker, DP and Research Analyst license from SEBI. What they did was fancy for a scam. What SEBI did to catch them was fancier. Their modus operandi: 1. Pick a small-cap stock from the bottom 100 F&O names on NSE. Low market cap. Thin liquidity. Easy to move. 2. Plant huge options orders on all four sides: - sell calls above LTP, - buy calls below LTP, - sell puts above LTP, - buy puts below LTP. Options position 3-4x bigger than the futures position about to come. 3. Attack the futures. Aggressive sell orders BELOW LTP to crash the price. Aggressive buy orders ABOVE LTP to pump it back. Alternating patches - sell, buy, sell, buy, sell, buy. 4. Each futures move triggered the planted options orders at manipulated prices. Small deliberate loss in futures - the hammer. Big profit in options - the real trade. Net profit across just 23 top days: ₹28.12 crore. SEBI passed an ex-parte interim order today. Bank accounts impounded. Market ban on all six Noticees. Investigation ongoing - SEBI itself says the actual number will be much bigger. Order by WTM Kamlesh Varshney. 👏👏

From Bloomberg SEBI’S RETREAT FROM KEY MARKET REFORM DISAPPOINTING; REGULATOR MAY TAKE TIME BEFORE TRYING AGAIN SEBI’s decision to step back from a crucial market reform is a setback for India’s capital-market development. The regulator’s loss of confidence in the reform could mean it will be some time before a similar proposal is revisited.

This was expected when @BarackObama laid the foundation and @realDonaldTrump in his first term signed the executive order for #AI Race @PMOIndia @GoI_MeitY - Where are we & where are we heading 🤓
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

The creator of the C++ programming language, Bjarne Stroustrup, says AI-generated code is not successful and calls the idea of using natural language as a programming language idiotic. He says humans will still write code and use abstraction. According to him, AI generates bloated code with more bugs and security holes, making it hard to validate. He also says the senior developers needed to validate it are starting to retire because they don’t want to deal with validating something that changes every time you change your prompt. He goes on to say that AI is not good at writing safety-critical or performance-critical code: “Now, let’s say that 70 or 80% of the world’s code doesn’t fit that pattern, but it’s that 10, 20% of the code that I’m interested in.”

Civic activist Santosh Pandit has reportedly been detained by Pune Police after repeatedly highlighting dangerous potholes, open manholes and poor road conditions across the city. His demonstrations brought attention to the everyday risks faced by commuters. The incident has sparked questions online about civic accountability. When citizens raise concerns over public safety, the response should be to fix the problem, not silence the person pointing it out. 🙏

#Bengaluru: When contract pourakarmikas (civic workers) demanded their services be regularised (be made permanent), Bengaluru Development minister Krishna Byre Gowda retorted: “30% of you do not report for work on a daily basis and the city is unclean, people are blaming us. Should we still make you permanent when you don’t report for work?” What are your thoughts ? @timesofindia
