Crap report. In UAE you get your wallet back.

L'étude citée exclut le Japon (système koban empêchant le suivi email des portefeuilles) ; les auteurs notent qu'il aurait probablement eu un score élevé. Elle mesure les contacts email, pas toujours les retours effectifs (plus élevés dans des réplications culturelles).

Does anyone know what approvals or permits are required to organise a competition and awards event in Dubai, and which authorities I should approach? Would really appreciate any guidance from someone who’s done this before! @KrysiaJ @Khalidalzarouni @FinancialUAE @saq3 @banafsaji
Excellent
We should call it Vapor money from now on.
Replying to @greg16676935420
Imagine you’re going to a sporting event and you know it’s going to rain. You buy 100 ponchos locally for a dollar each and bring them to the game. It starts raining and you sell them for $10 each. Your ponchos are worth $10, so you’re “holding $1000”. Now it stops raining and you’re only getting offers for $0.50 so now you’re holding $50.
Did $950 get wiped out? If so, where did it go?
How lucky am I to spend time with the lovely beautiful @KrysiaJ and also be treated to a scrumptious lunch 🥰
Govt services in UAE are EXCELLENT. I just had my WILL notarized in ADJD over Webex and it was super fast, easy and pleasant!
I love this. Truly.

I love this story. How do you like them democracy?
It doesn’t matter if a country is democratic or communist ; what matters is that its people care for each other and the rulers are kind and genuinely care of the welfare of its people.
القصة هذي تتصدر الترند حالياً بالصين، وهي عن شاب صيني يتيم خاف إن عرسه يكون فاضي، فعزم الإنترنت، وجاه آلاف الناس، والحكومة اضطرت تنقل العرس لساحة أكبر…
الشاب اسمه "Xu Chenghong" وعمره 24 سنة من قرية جبلية في يوننان جنوب الصين، كبر هو وأخوه عند جدتهم وترك الدراسة واشتغل وجمع 160 ألف يوان "حوالي 22 ألف دولار" عشان زواجه، بس المشكلة إن أهله وأقاربه ما يعبون إلا طاولتين أو ثلاث
فصور مقطع وقال "أنا يتيم، وعرسي يوم 31 أكتوبر، تعالو اشربو معي وكثرو الحضور" وكان متوقع يجيه 10 أو 20 شخص، لكن في أول يومين وصله قرابة 200 شخص وبعدها صارو بالآلاف من كل مناطق الصين، وفي ناس احضروا ثلاجات ودفايات، وناس احضروا طباخين على حسابهم، والحكومة المحلية نقلت الزواج من القرية لساحة أكبر، ونظمت المرور والأمن، واليوم كان هو يوم الزواج!!!

Congrats to @call_broccoli (W22) on raising $52M across their Series A and Series B!
Broccoli’s AI agents answer calls for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical companies around the clock, booking jobs directly into the scheduling software contractors already use and following up on open estimates.
After their EV startup stalled, @abhishekjain25 and @adityaketkar knocked on 140 contractor doors until a Sacramento plumbing owner gave them five minutes. They built the first product from her office in three weeks, and today she’s Broccoli’s COO.
More than 1,500 home service businesses now run on Broccoli, with over 10 million customer conversations handled and 2.5 million appointments booked.

Mind Blown 🤯
This is AMAZING
TRULY!
Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in @Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world.
Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place around you), and your assets respond to all of it.
The final is regenerated from your recording: a new performance of the scene, not a copy of the footage.
Available now on iPhone. Coming to Android soon.
