Why do SpaceX rockets keep exploding?
The Verge

SpaceX's frequent Starship test failures, while appearing chaotic, reflect its "move-fast-and-break-things" approach, differing sharply from traditional, cautious rocket development methods. This approach has led to rapid advancements like the reusable Falcon 9 but also results in public failures. SpaceX's urgency is driven by founder Elon Musk’s Mars aspirations, necessitating a larger rocket to transport substantial mass for Mars missions. Experts, however, remain skeptical about ambitious timelines for crewed Mars flights due to unresolved engineering challenges.

- Quick commerce (Q-comm) firms are using expensive gadgets as a marketing strategy to indirectly drive sales and increase profitability. - Expensive electronics allow quick commerce ventures to diversify into higher-value items, which is crucial for their future growth and sustainability. - Quick commerce is following the footsteps of e-commerce giants like Amazon and Flipkart, who already sell high-value items such as luxury cars and gold bars. - This tactic has the potential to challenge the dominance of Amazon and Flipkart in the e-commerce industry, as quick commerce can offer quicker deliveries through a widely distributed network of small warehouses. - However, quick commerce's success relies on selling fast-moving items, and they may continue to focus on gadgets that make headlines in the short term. - In the long run, the merging of conventional e-commerce and quick commerce may impact the viability of this business model.

P2P payments being evaluated for UPI One World: sources
Economic Times

7m ago
Medial
The UPI One World service in India, currently used by foreign travellers for merchant transactions, may soon be expanded to include interpersonal transactions. Once approved, users will be able to make payments to small merchants, public transporters, and tourist guides using this service. Currently, only five players are enabled on UPI One World, but the potential for growth is hindered by the requirement for physical KYC and the restriction to only merchant transactions. Suggestions have been made to allow P2P transactions with a limit of Rs 5,000 initially. The volume of UPI One World transactions remains relatively small compared to overall UPI payments. Efforts are being made to facilitate digital verification of visas and travel permits. Enabling international travellers to experience UPI during their stay in India is seen as a way to showcase the technology.
