Yeah, Asian immigrants can be annoying. But there is no doubt this group is cut from a different cloth wherever they go.
It’s not really a secret formula. Work hard, sacrifice, focus on family.
And Asians never consider themselves a victim class.
They just stay quiet and persevere.

What’s happening in Paris and Milan is no surprise to anyone who has spent time around young people in Europe during the 2010s:

Virtually all of them were working on their 4th masters degree in social welfare, were unmarried, attended communist dinners every night, and regularly participated in riots.

Now the economy is suddenly transforming and they have nothing to show for it.

Five Supreme Court seats.

Every Washington voter votes on all five.

Skip them and the court rewrites the laws without you.

Ballots Friday. Don’t leave them blank.

Dumb question. Why are Real Estate agents needed anymore?

Everything they do is completely replaceable by AI and Zillow or Redfin.

In China, a vehicle crashed into the rear of a Tesla Model Y L, but the vehicle that was hit overturned.

Tesla's safety was demonstrated once again on the actual road.

Dear Prime Minister Ambani,

Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.

Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?

There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.

Thank you 🙏

I genuinely don’t harbor any hatred against Indian foreigners.

I just want them to go back to India and make India great! If they’re so skilled and talented, India would benefit immensely from having them.

@mcvadc @RepJayapal Can't agree more

I worked at Microsoft for 20 years. This is exactly why and how Microsoft hired H1-B workers. It was not a secret, at least not in the Finance department. It was openly discussed. H1-B workers cost less and drove down demand for US workers, suppressing wages.

Near the end of my tenor at Microsoft, however, the motivation changed - now the H1-B program was primarily used by Indian managers to bring in more Indian workers, as a way to help their fellow Indians (at the expense of Americans).

Announcing tsc-rs (aka ts-rust), my complete rewrite of the Typescript compiler, type checker, and LSP, all in Rust.

This is a project I've had agents working on for 5 months now. I burned ~$400k of Codex tokens and got nowhere. Burned ~$20k of Opus and got there in 2 weeks.

I have not read a single line of the code.

tsc-rs is an open source drop-in replacement for tsc, and it's available now.

@BrandiKruse @letsgowa Pam Stuart is the worst Smm council member ever.

[Brandi Kruse @BrandiKruse]

BREAKING: Body camera footage shows Sammamish City Councilwoman Pam Stuart harassing a @letsgowa signature gatherer, in violation of state law. In the video, obtained through public disclosure, officers and a store manager tell her she is escalating the situation, but she refuses to leave.

The nation owes a debt to @JGebbia and his excellent team. They worked incredibly hard, with no compensation, to make government services work better for all Americans.
