@IndiGo6E Are there no direct flights between MAA and CNN this summer? I was excited and relieved to try the A320 service instead of ATR72. But when I check now, I don't see any.

Had to wait ~15 minutes at my local CVS for an employee to unlock a secured item—locked to prevent shoplifting. This highlights the hidden costs we all bear due to such crimes. Prop 36 needs thorough and swift implementation to address this.

Criminals in California stole over 31 billion dollars in goods since 2014. In the last 5 years, the state spent 24 billion to solve homelessness & the crisis only worsened. The “cost” to implement Prop 36 is an absolute bargain by comparison. #Crime

I really enjoyed #BGT2024. Very close series. Don’t think the final score line justifies the close contest we witnessed. India has a lot of positives to take and if they plan right we could have a winning series in England this summer.

[Anirudh Jayakumar @ani_jayakumar]

BGT is still very much alive and every decision should be take with that in mind. KL, YJ, Gill, Pant, Khan/Jurel, NKR, RJ, Deep, Rana/Prasidh, JB, MS seems like the way to go.

GG/Rohit seems to be very risk averse with selections. And very short-format style decision making too. Test cricket is about taking 20 wickets. #BGT2024

[Anirudh Jayakumar @ani_jayakumar]

India doesn't seem to have bowling to take 20 wickets. Unless, Bumrah takes another 10-for this test. #BGT2024

[Anirudh Jayakumar @ani_jayakumar]

Looks like this has come true for Perth, 2024. Don't get fooled by 170/0. This is more like a 150/3 pitch.

There’s debate on why 15 wickets on Day 1 in India draws flak, unlike SA/Aus/Eng/NZ. The answer? In those countries, pitches tend to improve on Days 2-3, offering balance. In India, wickets often deteriorate further, skewing the contest heavily toward spinners. #Cricket #BGT2025

@CDCgov can you help?

[Anirudh Jayakumar @ani_jayakumar]

Is cdc tracking effectiveness of new versions of pfizer/moderna/novovax covid vaccines? If yes, where can I find this data.

@km WhatsApp was always big in India for more than 10 years now. It is only in US that the adoption was slow. But looks like it has picked up. Do you have any stats about the increase adoption ins US?

@GergelyOrosz Based on hiring at C3 ai in 2017-2018, I feel it is easier to hire early career engineers from big tech. Mid and late career engineer salaries are hard to match especially if the stock has appreciated since original award.

Ever wondered what everyday life was like for people living 50, 100, or more years ago..?

Hard to believe dropbox paper hasn't taken off the way it should have. The simplest and fastest document collaboration tool.

@rakyll I feel this all the time. Even after getting most of the stuff done by the end of the day I’m still thinking of the couple that I couldn’t get done.

Imagine being an independent swing voter in the US in 2012. You could watch the debate, go to sleep, and feel confident that either candidate would keep the country running smoothly. In 2024, this same voter is just terrified. #Election2024

@MattMahanSJ @SanJosePD Wow, didn't know @SanJosePD cracked 100% of homicides in 21-22. That I think is a staggering stat. Wondering how other cities in US compare.

@BillAckman Plagiarizing essential components of a dissertation raises doubts about the fundamental scholarship upon which an entire career is built.

[Anirudh Jayakumar @ani_jayakumar]

@BillAckman Identifying plagiarized sections is crucial. Plagiarism in intro, motivation, or background differs from core ideas plagiarism, a distinction often overlooked in current reporting.
