The app, dubbed Whee, pitches itself as a platform to "keep you connected with your close friends through life's spontaneous moments." Whee's arrival on the charts — it's 27th among social-networking apps in Apple's App Store, outranking Skype and Signal — comes as Instagram is also leaning into features for close friends. After spending years leaning into influencer content, to the chagrin of some users, the big social platforms are betting big on close friends. But as the platforms prioritized creator-made content, like on Instagram reels, everyday users' content seemed to take a back seat.

Then inflation hit, central bankers raised interest rates, and investors began selling holdings in fast-growing cloud stocks and rotating into safer investments that could more consistently offer returns. Executives at many cloud companies responded by reducing overhead, sometimes in the form of layoffs.

The company cut its revenue guidance to 1%-3.5% on a constant currency basis from the previous 4%-7%. Infosys Chief Executive Salil Parekh attributed the guidance cut to delays in decision-making by clients.

BENGALURU, July 20 (Reuters) - Infosys (INFY.NS), India's second-largest IT services firm by revenue, halved its full-year revenue forecast on Thursday and posted a first-quarter profit that missed estimates as clients cut back spending in a cloudy economic environment. Infosys' U.S.-listed shares fell nearly 7% in pre-market trading after the company cut its full-year revenue growth of 1%-3.5% on a constant currency basis from 4%-7% previously. There are some discretionary spending cuts from clients in the short-term and overall decision-making has slowed down, CEO Salil Parekh said in a media conference. Consolidated net profit rose 10.9% to 59.45 billion rupees ($725.5 million) in the three months to June 30, missing analysts' view of 61.41 billion rupees as per Refinitiv IBES. Businesses are cutting back spending on discretionary IT projects amid steep inflation that stoked interest rates.

Some of the tech and business industries' top CEOs attended a White House dinner Thursday. Take a look at the CEOs and industry giants who made the guest list and dressed up in their finest. The White House invited leaders from across the tech and business industries for a dinner held for Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi's visit to Washington. The visit has been a crucial one for Biden, as the White House looks to build closer ties with India. Here's a look at the CEOs and industry giants who made the guest list and dressed up in their finest.

But all the deals and pomp of the visit — including an address to Congress and a lavish state dinner — may not have accomplished what the White House had wanted. U.S. leaders gave Modi a hearty welcome, as Washington seeks to nudge India further into the American sphere of influence. “The partnership is among the most consequential in the world,” Biden said at a news conference on Thursday. Biden and Modi largely brushed off criticism of the Indian government’s crackdown on human rights and religious freedom. And Modi made no pledges to endorse U.S. efforts to restrain China, nor to cut ties to Russia.

Despite that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback led the league in regular season passing yards, completions and touchdown passes. And he was the starting quarterback in four of the past six Super Bowls, bagging three Lombardi Trophies in that span. At the game Brady attended, Ronaldo became the highest scorer in FIFA history after netting his 807th career goal. Not everyone is brimming with the baseline talents of James or Brady or has the discipline or resources to stick with such regimens. With time, this may radically alter how athletes at all levels are nurtured, and even how nonathletes fend off the crippling effects of age.
