FaceApp,  the  AI-powered selfie-editing app  that’s been having another viral moment of late, has now responded to a privacy controversy that we covered earlier  here . You can find the company’s full statement at the bottom of this post. The tl;dr here is that concerns had been raised that FaceApp, a Russian startup, uploads users’ photos to the cloud — without making it clear to them that processing is not going on locally on their device. Another issue raised by FaceApp users was that the iOS app appears to be overriding settings if a user had denied access to their camera roll, after people reported they could still select and upload a photo — i.e. despite the app not having permission to access their photos. As we reported earlier, the latter is actually allowed behavior in iOS — which gives users the power to choose to block an app from full camera roll access but select individual photos to upload if they so wish.

FaceApp is a free app that can be downloaded to your device from the AppStore or Google Play. Currently, there are 21 free filters in the basic version. Recently, the app has gone viral again with a lot of celebrities posting pictures of their older selves created using the app. In fact, this has started an entirely new challenge called the FaceApp challenge on various social media channels like Twitter and Instagram.

But, fret not. We did not stop just there. We have been talking to a lot of people, and following similar questions being asked on other  similar places . Below, we pr...

To invest in X fund, to buy Y stock, or to give the money to Z fund manager. But, hardly anyone tackles the most fundamental question - where do you get the money to start with? Tell me how to get money! The answer to this question is fairly simple. Note, I say simple and not easy.  In order to obtain money, and in turn change it into wealth, you need to create VALUE. It is in exchange of the value that you create that you will be rewarded by the universe.  So, what is value? And, how can I create value? Money works on the simple principle of supply and demand. If you possess something that is in high demand, your possession is valuable. If you possess a lot of this in-demand thing, you become a high value person. You have the supply, and in exchange for providing the...
