Feel-good Sunday: The fight for freedom in Iran and Ukraine – CNN‘s Christiane Amanpour interview sheds more light.
Question: How would you say reporting on conflict and crisis has changed the way you think about the world, your perspective on life?’
“I think it’s changed my perspective in that I’m very clear that I can’t be a both-siderism, or “on the one hand/on the otherism.” In other words, in certain instances, such as gross violations of international humanitarian law, which we’re witnessing, in other words, you know, human rights atrocities, crimes against humanity, genocide and the like, you absolutely have to know where the truth is and what you’re looking at so that you know that there are aggressors and there are victims.”

What is Embedded Finance?
“Embedded Finance experiences occur directly within the application or on-site where the end-user or customer is engaged. They are seamless, and they rely on technology that operates in the background, processing the communication and exchange of data invisibly to the end-user.” – FIS “Embedded vs. integrated experiences: Enabling super apps to create deeper customer connection.” https://www.fisglobal.com/en/insights/what-we-think/2022/december/embedded-vs-integrated-experiences-deliver-super-apps-that-create-deeper-customer-connections

“To date, Know Your Customer (KYC) software has been more developed than Know Your Business (KYB). Much of the subcomponents and data from the KYB process overlaps with KYC. This is particularly true for businesses attempting to serve SMBs:
- Since most components of sole proprietorship registration are entirely self-reported by an individual, they require more extensive KYC checks.
- We’ll see more proprietaryAnalytics and identifiers. Many leading KYC startups aggregate hundreds of disparate data sources to provide comprehensive coverage, but few have been able to convert this data into a proprietary identifier.
- The identity verification players can vertically integrate by expanding more broadly into areas like onboarding and credit-related workflows.” – Seema-Amble and Marc Andrusko, Partners, Big Ideas in Tech for 2023 | Andreessen Horowitz

Feel-Good Sunday: Dan Pallotta: The way we think about charity is dead wrong
In this TED talk, Dan calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are “rewarded for how little they spend – not for what they get done.”
Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: “Let’s change the way we think about changing the world.”

Is mainstream AI adoption more “fun” than you think?
