THREAD: In context of the recent @TechCrunch article on "Married couples are a startup's secret weapon", sharing @AnuradhaParekh and my experience in building @thebetterindia together:

1/ Married co-founders' success happens if the two have extremely complementary skills
2/ One of us is good at ideation/executing early-stage experiments. The other is good at helping those ideas/experiments scale-up massively by putting in the right processes. And these roles reverse at times too.
3/ The idea of voice & exit. One of us likes to resolve most conflicts and the other prefers to choose only a few conflicts, and walk away (exit) from many. Based on the situation, one of us shows up. That helps in better overall conflict management.

THREAD: Here are the 11 FREE tools that helped us create & grow @thebetterindia. Useful if you want to start your own company but have *very* limited resources (like we did!).
1/ Content Management System: WordPress (self-hosted). Get a domain, get your own server, install WordPress and you are good to go!
2/ Email newsletters: Mailchimp and SendGrid. Both have a free slab that is good enough to get you started. Absolutely recommend using their "drip e-mail" feature.

1/ Thread on revenues:
A better way to increase the chances of success for your early-stage startup? Start making revenues.
The best way? Start making profits.
Achieving either will indicate that you are moving towards product-market fit and hence becoming viable.
2/ Very few startups need to be in a "market leader" mode right from the beginning. In fact, most early startups can exist side-by-side with competition and yet thrive. And hence, the need to focus on revenue in addition to market share.
3/ At @thebetterindia's early stage, we experimented with numerous revenue models from the beginning: paid newsletters, corporate retainers, consulting services, sponsorships and many more. Each one of them allowed us to reinvest the earnings for growth, right from day one.

#THREAD on MARTAND SUN TEMPLE

The Martand Sun Temple is one of several important Sun Temples in India, Situated 8 kms from Anantnag town in the southern part of Kashmir.

it is now called “Shaitan ki Gufa” (Devil’s cave) by Kashmiri peaceful people.

@LostTemple7
It is one of the historically significant yet neglected and forgotten temples lying in shambles.

According to Tareekh-e-Hassan (the oldest History of Kashmir) there was a city named Babul in the Karewas of south Kashmir built by Raja Ranadatiya, who was a Lord Shiva follower and
lots of temples and cities were founded by him. In front of his Royal palace he built Martandeshwari temple around 370 to 500 C.E. The same temple was later architectured by Lalitadatiya Muktapida, who was the 3rd ruler of the Karkota Dynasty,

#Thread sur les autorisations des #additifs alimentaires🧁
📌Faut-il avoir peur des additifs 🥶 ?
📌Faut-il tous les interdire ?
📌Clefs pour comprendre l'évaluation des risques ?

➡️quoidansmonassiette.fr/comment-additi…
PS: ne se veut pas exhaustif
#SantéPublique #Alimentation #FoodSafety
Les additifs alimentaires sont des substances ajoutées intentionnellement dans un but technologique spécifique à la différence des substances présentes dans l’alimentation de façon non voulue (contaminants, résidus de pesticides, mycotoxines…)
Encadrés par le R (CE) n°1333/2008
Ils répondent à 3 critères centraux :
✅ne doivent pas poser de problèmes pour la santé du consommateur aux doses PROPOSEES (important !)
✅répondre à un besoin technologique qui ne peut pas être satisfait par d’autres méthodes
✅ne trompent pas le consommateur

Le 27 février est la journée mondiale de l'ours blanc (#OursPolaire).
Classé "vulnérable" en liste rouge, il est devenu le symbole de la conscience écologique.
Découvre 11 faits surprenants sur l'un des plus grands carnivores terrestres :

À dérouler ⬇️
À la naissance, un ours blanc ne pèse que ~600 gr (autant qu'un cochon d'Inde) ! Pourtant, il deviendra un colosse de près d'une tonne, avec un record observé de 1102 kg !
La mère ours blanc peut contrôler sa gestation. Une fois fécondée, elle porte l'embryon durant 5 mois et ne déclenche la gestation (qui ne dure que 55 j) que lorsque sa propre condition physique et les facteurs environnementaux sont optimaux.
C'est "l'implantation différée".

#Thread de réponse au thread de Conall, sur la « réfutation systématique des trois racines bancales des théories économiques libérales ». De qualité et dont je salue l’effort argumentatif, même si je sais qu’il s’en fout royalement venant d’un libéral :)
Tout d’abord, ce thread part du principe que le libéralisme repose sur ces trois racines. C’est erroné, mais pas le sujet. J’en parlerai en fin de thread pour conclure.
Et j’affiche d’entrée de jeu que si je suis ouvert au débat tranquille et que je tâcherai de répondre à la critique, je ne répondrai à aucune insulte. Aux rigolos qui donnent dans l’insulte, faites-le, ça ne décrédibilise que vous.
