The Kavanaugh stops are heading in the expected direction. Nice job, Justice Kavanaugh. Your reasoning will go down is history as a tragic joke. This should not happen in America. “Show me your papers”.

Microsoft Research is live in Japan! I'm excited that our new MSR Asia Tokyo lab is official, under the strong leadership of @yasumat. Tokyo joins our recent new sites in Nairobi and Vancouver, with more to come as MSR expands around the globe. https://t.co/V8RxKbl2Oe

@jennwvaughan Good luck Jenn! I've run 5 marathons, and what i always tell people is that it's 26.2 miles, and the .2 matters! Cheering for you from Austin.

@megan_richards_ Congratulations, Dr. Richards!

As someone who has been a journalist for almost 40 year, working as a senior writer at the New York Times, Newsweek, etc, the decision by @WilliamLewis, a Murdoch alum, to cripple the @washingtonpost by abandoning endorsements, is one of the most craven actions I've ever seen../1

This is disingenuous and silly - aggression disguised as commentary. People are angry because it’s a telling sign that the owner of the paper doesn’t want to cross Trump and is afraid of repercussions of doing so. People who value civic democracy understand this.

And I've cancelled my Washington Post subscription. Democracy dies when cowards block the light.

I've just proudly cast my vote for Kamala Harris. I hope that all of you do too, as early as you can. This is the most inportant election in at least half a century.

[Doug Burger @dcburger]

@business It's early, but this is a huge milestone. Even at equivalent yields this progress lowers risks and increases resilience for our entire industry. Good news for TSMC, NVDA, AMD, and the whole cloud industry.

According to https://t.co/A05JcrD3CR Robert Dennard has passed away.

This man's work on DRAM and technology scaling has an inestimable impact on every computer on the planet for the past 50 years.

Thank you, Bob Dennard.

@jonmasters If only there was a language that allowed you to program in high-level semantics, had a tractably simple compiler, and generated hardware designs as efficient as hand-optimized RTL. Stay tuned.

[Doug Burger @dcburger]

@WilliamShatner You, at his side, as if you've always been there and always will.

[Doug Burger @dcburger]

@mustafasuleyman @Microsoft Mustafa, welcome aboard. Really looking forward to getting to know you and working with you. MSR is ready for a deep and productive partnership with your team. Congratulations on the new role!
