There are a couple of little bugs on the twitter mobile iOS app for me.

1. When I reply to my own tweet, often it says there are two replies instead of one
2. If I delete a tweet in an ongoing thread and then try to continue by replying to the last tweet, it often says “can’t reply to a deleted tweet” and I have to click around somewhere else before I get back to it
3. Not a bug but I’m bummed that I can’t crop videos natively in twitter web anymore. Used to have a nice little editor. Now I have to edit the video down to 2:20 separately outside the app first. (Also how do some people upload longer videos? I’ve seen them before)
4. if I @-mention someone in a thread, they get notifications for all the subsequent tweets? I can't un-tag them? wtf!!! this wasn't the case before

@TwitterSupport please fix this one, you'll get notifications for the subsequent tweets in this thread until you do

It’s so difficult to go from being an underdog to being successful (happens to 1% of people?), and it seems so unlikely when you’re slogging, that... when they get successful, it seems like only 1-5% of *those* are able to adapt and reorient

What got you here won’t get you there
The relentless make it from stage 1 to stage 2

It takes self-restraint to go from stage 2 to stage 3

but most of the people who possess the self-restraint to go from stage 2 to stage 3 never make it past stage 1 (too restrained)
By my own back-of-the-napkin calculation, only 0.01% of people make it to stage 3

Considering at base rates, that’s probably a very generous estimate

It’s probably closer to 0.001% or maybe 0.0001%

I think the challenge here is that there isn’t actually a direct way of finding this out. You have to find it indirectly. The Ground Zero approach is that you have to talk a lot about a lot of things with a lot of people, and be extra sensitive to what surprises or intrigues them
Once you find your first couple of surprises, it’s like striking oil, or a vein of gold - you can mine it for quite some time (and then subsequently the challenge is to avoid letting it become a schtick that overdefines you, turning you into a Flanderized caricature of yourself)
The other thing that helps a lot with this is to make friends with sensitive, curious people with good taste. You can talk to dozens of clueless people before one observant person notices something unusual about you. As you can see I perform this role for a lot of my friends

So the Jalan Committee recommendations are finally out.. phew... and the actual capital transfer of 50k crs is minuscule and very likely a one-time .. i had written about this last Dec ..#Thread @dugalira @ananthng @IndradeepKhan @CafeEconomics qasl.com/mailer/Q-India…
The 1.76 trillion number needs to seen as a sum of 3 numbers.. 28k of it is the interim dividend already paid in March 19; 96k as the further dividend for this year (taking the total dividend to 1.24 trillion) and the rest 52k cr of the jalan committee excess capital transfer ..
From a fiscal perspective, this capital transfer was not budgeted thus the fiscal pressure on the government will ease.. Bond markets should take this positively as its major worry reflecting in the steep term premiums was due the risk on fiscals

I wasn't inclined to tweet about #Kashmir, but after seeing the amount of disinformation, I am going to.

I'm back in the newsroom today after a week in Srinagar.

Things are NOT normal.

People are seething. Kashmir is likely a tinderbox waiting for a spark.
When I got there on Monday, just hours after Article 370 was abrogated, the city was locked down.

I walked a km to find the nicest auto-wallah in the land.

He didn't have a clue of what had happened, why his city had overnight turned into ghost town -- blanketed with security.
Later that evening, we spoke to @shahfaesal in his living room.

Since satellite TVs were still working, news had trickled in.

“We might see an eruption when the guard is down."

“People are taking it as an act of humiliation.”

Then, the pelting began.

Let's look back at a timeline of their 72-days marriage … and prolonged parting.

November 2010: 

After briefly dating male model Gabriel Aubry (Halle Berry's ex), Kardashian meets the NBA basketball player while she's filming "Kourtney & Kim Take New York"
and they start dating. Soon after, she is seen in the stands at one of his Nets games sending him "I love you" signals with her hands.

February 7, 2011: 

They go public with their romance by posing for photographers at a Prince concert in Manhattan.
May 18, 2011: 

Kardashian arrives at her Beverly Hills home to find Humphries in her bedroom, on bended knee, with "Will You Marry Me?" written out in rose petals. He gave her a custom-designed, 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring.

Twitter seems to be banning or suspending accounts belonging to critics of the Chinese government. It started yesterday May 31th. Here is one report - I noticed a sudden loss of followers yesterday, I checked, it was mainly China critics. Twitter❤️🇨🇳 Amazing! @mouse @1GigiSims
This is happening as an effort to silence #China critics ahead of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which is next Tuesday. Twitter is helping China do its dirty work to silence the legitimate opposition. Twitter has hit a new all time low! 👎👎👎
One other possibility that can't be discounted is that the #Chinese government is hacking into Twitter and is deleting the accounts of Chinese critics. I did hear reports in the past, that Chinese hackers were able to get into Twitter & do that.

GOD, His people & The World’s Kingdoms/Empires

Ever since God created the Earth in Genesis 1, He willed it to be ruled by Man whom He created; hence Adam was the first world governor & emperor and he was so, under God.
But by disobedience to God & obedience to Satan, Adam changed masters; and though the governing of the earth was still through human agency, Satan became the god of this world’s systems (2 Cor. 4:4).

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
