Superapps: The App-etite for Weight Gain in Indonesia
The rise of food delivery superapps in Indonesia has people beefing up—and not just their meal orders. These apps have led to increased BMI scores, especially among the well-heeled city dwellers. But hey, at least fruit and meat consumption is up, too! Superapps: a double-edged fork for health policymakers.
Hot Take:
Who knew that ordering an extra side of fries could be a political statement? From Indonesia’s superapp-induced BMI boost to Vietnam’s tax tango with tech giants, it seems like the world is eating, coding, and sanctioning its way to a cyber future. Now, if only we could get our steps in while debating the ethics of HDMI cables and cloud services!
Key Points:
- Superapps like Grab and Gojek in Indonesia are linked to increased BMI scores, especially in the wealthy and educated demographic.
- Alibaba Cloud’s Kubernetes service expands globally, offering potential cost savings.
- The US sanctioned alleged cybercriminals from China and North Korea, including HDMI cable suppliers.
- India and the US signed a MoU for enhanced cybercrime investigation cooperation.
