Everything software

The original UberEats predicted what people wanted to eat and the food was put in cars right before the food was ordered.

This meant an Uber eater would literally get his food in 5 minutes. We were a bit ahead of our time.. low scale meant too much waste and not enough choice

With current size of online food delivery market, feels like this should now be possible, faster, more sustainable, actually less expensive …

5 minute delivery of anything you want to eat at a much lower price than today’s ubereats and DoorDash … guessing one of the delivery services goes after this in the next few years

@prabhakarkudva @gauthampai Absolutely. But there is no denying that the cost of software has fallen through the roofs.

A Reddit post from someone stranded in India due to H-1B appointments being cancelled

How much more chaos and uncertainty do we need to endure before people understand we’re ‘aliens’ - no, human beings with lives and responsibilities?

One hour Waymo ride from San Francisco to Menlo Park via highway 280. It’s over, cars are self-driving. Everything else is just about rolling this out to the rest of the world.

A three-year-old boy lost in a cornfield at night in Alto, Wisconsin, was safely rescued using thermal imaging technology.

Deputies and fire department personnel located the child within 15 minutes using a thermal drone.

"America has 175 million people working right now. The H1B visa allows just 65,000 to foreigners with advanced degrees. This is nothing for us. The visa fee hike is an attempt to rile the masses up so we don't look at what's really going on," says immigration lawyer Charles Kuck

President Trump’s new H-1B visa requirement applies only to NEW, prospective petitions that have not yet been filed. 

Petitions submitted prior to September 21, 2025 are not affected.

I told you this administration will be very hostile to highly skilled immigration. You didn’t believe me.

The skeptics said, “No, tech CEOs disagree. Silicon Valley. Blah.”

There will be no good immigration policy so long as Stephen Miller is there. Period.

The level of toadyism toward Trump 2.0 will be his downfall.

If no one around you will tell you the truth, you’re going to have a lot of unforced errors.

As those errors pile up, the polls go down.

The collective sycophancy will do him no good—it will lose him the midterms and make him a lame duck before he can get what y’all voted him into office to do.

Friends tell friends when they’re screwing up. He’s screwing up.

It’s abominable how this government treats Indians. Some of the most peaceful, hard working, intelligent, and successful people in history. The highest incomes, lowest incarceration rates, and incredible entrepreneurs. We’re lucky to have them and our government just hates.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Indian H1Bs contributed an unfathomable amount to America: 100s of billions in taxes, 10s of billions more in fees, trillions in services. Among the most peaceful, intelligent, interesting people to grace our shores. And what do we give back? Demonization & discrimination...

Back to age old farmer exploitation by mandis, a step backwards.
