    • Expresses concern over unjustified edible oil pricing despite global drop • Approves Rs72bn housing subsidy for 50,000 low-income families ISLAMABAD: The government raised serious concerns on Friday over 29 per cent illegitimate profiteering in the edible oil and ghee market and approved a subsidised housing scheme for 50,000 low-income families during the current fiscal year.

  • Ripple CTO regrets the time he censored Ozzy Osbourne
    Cointelegraph.com - 03:35 Jul 26, 2025
    The Ripple executive says he felt really bad about the situation and "it wasn’t the authentic interaction with celebrities" that he was aiming for. Ripple’s chief technology officer David Schwartz confessed that he once faked fan questions for Black Sabbath and filtered the responses of recently deceased rock legend Ozzy Osbourne during what was meant to be an authentic Q&A with fans — an experience he now regrets. “I cheated,” Swartz said in an X post on Thursday. “To me personally, it was a failure, but to everyone else it was a success,” recalling his time at WebMaster when, as an employee, he was assigned to deliver responses to fan questions for Osbourne — who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 76 — and the other members of Black Sabbath using the company’s ConferenceRoom software.  Read more
