- Chagossians, original inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago, are fighting to reclaim their home and the lucrative .io web-address extension. 
- The .io extension, popular among tech startups, is a $50 million digital property associated with the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), which includes the Chagos Islands. 
- The Chagossians were forcibly removed from the islands by the UK in the 1970s. 
- The UK still claims ownership of the islands and the .io domain, despite a UN demand to decolonize the territory. 
- The Chagossians argue that they are the rightful owners of .io and that the UK is exploiting the digital property.

- Former a16z investor Balaji Srinivasan has secured an island in Singapore to launch his 'Network School' focused on crypto, longevity, and technocapitalism.
- The initiative marks a significant step towards Srinivasan's vision of 'network states,' internet communities with physical locations and diplomatic recognition.
- Srinivasan's school will feature lectures on digital nomadism and meals by longevity expert Bryan Johnson, starting in late September.
- The concept has gained traction among Silicon Valley libertarians, with support from figures like Marc Andreessen and Vitalik Buterin.
- Srinivasan is currently accepting applications, emphasizing that those who respect legacy institutions are not suitable candidates.

Cred is truly a topic of surprise for me. Yes, I understand it has created a community of top spenders/credit worthy people in India. I also understand that they can use the information on such people for creating value for themselves.

Being a cred user, I only use it to pay the bills. I really wonder if they have built any b2b business or alternative source of income beyond what's seen to the end user. What's the game plan for the cred? 

I also applaud the fact that cred hasn't laid off people having paid them better than most companies. I really wonder if the business is really that strong or the conviction is. Would you join cred if given a chance to work there?
