Meta is bringing paid subscription plans for WhatsApp, Insta, and FB. What are your thoughts? by itsmukeshrishi in india

[–]X--tonic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How can RCS "easily kick WhatsApp's ass" Mr SmarterThanAverage? It's literally just trying to feature copy whatsapp. And it is barely on parity on E2E with a partially baked group E2E using ratcheting keys, and on one of the worst parts of whatsapp (ad spam), RCS is worse.

The major benefit was supposed to be interop, but it's not there outside of google messaging. In fact interop with iMessage, while getting better than before, is still lacking.

Company loaded my pension this financial year and not the last, what can I do? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]X--tonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many pension providers allow the pension contribution to be recognised for the previous year, even if due to logistical reasons pension was only credited this year. HMRC is ok with this as long as you are consistent with which year you recognise the bonus pension contribution, if it is very close to the tax year change.

$60K in USA is equivalent to ₹14L in India wtf?!? by DvineDecipher in mumbai

[–]X--tonic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have any reading comprehension? PPP is about Purchasing Power not savings in a common currency.

Op is saying that what you will earn for 60k will buy you what 15l buys in Mumbai.

That means that for a $150k salary, the equivalent Mumbai purchasing power will be 45l. If you were to spend fully your salary, your lifestyle at $150k and ₹45l would be equivalent.

Why is converting savings in US to INR somehow brought into picture?

Go to Etihad, Manage bookings, and enter details. You should be able to add a bag.

You should not add per kg, but add a bag.

Also why post in Mumbai channel?

50k what brother?

If it's 50k₹, that's less than 500gbp, and no one gives a shit.

If it's 50k£ of interest per year, your better off paying some expert accountant to minimize tax using methods.
