@johnnynole1520 @KYRRadio @ToddSullivan Can you share the source of the OL play you cited? The OL pass block grade is 6th for Pats and 22nd for Rams. Stafford gets the ball out about 20% faster. Running game stat are pretty similar

@daniel_rotman15 Theory of reflexivity. Easy games -> confidence -> do well in more easy games -> virtuous cycle. True performance is recreating that cycle again and again in a brutal schedule. Strength of schedule adjustment after the fact ignores that.

@ChrisLaubAI @grok which paper is being cited here?

[Gaurav Chandna @xyxxy]

@SFBART is green line not running from berryessa? @grok

[Gaurav Chandna @xyxxy]

@grok @SFBART @rideact Thanks for confirming that berryessa to Hayward is impacted in both directions. @SFBART - please confirm as well

[Gaurav Chandna @xyxxy]

@SFBART @rideact @grok does this impact trains in both directions? Between berryessa Bart station and Hayward station and vice versa?

[Gaurav Chandna @xyxxy]

@grok @WaHouseGOP @grok B&O in the statement above. Was there a study done estimating impact on business and local economy due to the increase in taxes?

[Gaurav Chandna @xyxxy]

@JulieChangRE Done

Don’t know Meredith at all, except on here.

But what she is doing for this single mother with two young kids in dire straits is so admirable, & I’m glad to help.

Hope you will consider doing the same.

@pmarca Does the chart account for Brexit?

New rule in baseball: For every 3 hit batters by the pitching staff, the manager gets suspended for 1 game.
After 10 hit batters, you play with 1 less player in the game.

So it started here with the first post by @bhash

Dear @LinkedIn this post of mine was about YOUR AI imposing a political ideology on Indian users that’s unsafe, sinister.

Rich of you to call my post unsafe! This is exactly why we need to build own tech and AI in India. Else we’ll just be pawns in others political objectives.

[Gaurav Chandna @xyxxy]

This should be getting more attention.. I wonder if more companies will think similarly

[Bhavish Aggarwal @bhash]

On @Linkedin, @Microsoft and their wokeness.

As an Indian institution, Ola is for genuine actions on diversity. We run one of the largest women only automotive plants. Not 1 out of 10 lines, or a small section, but the whole plant! Almost 5000 women now and will grow to tens of thousands in the coming years. And regarding gender inclusivity, we don’t need lectures from western companies on how to be inclusive. Our culture didn’t need pronouns to be inclusive for thousands of years. On a personal note, I had visited Ayodhya last year and learnt about how transgenders had been accorded special respect in our culture from ancient times! Here’s a short video from our national broadcaster DD on this - https://t.co/TGxfSjtM0F.

On the other hand, the pronouns issue I wrote about is a woke political ideology of entitlement which doesn’t belong in India. I wouldn’t have waded into this debate but clearly Linkedin has presumed Indians need to have pronouns in our life, and that we can’t criticise it. They will bully us into agreeing with them or cancel us out. And if they can do this to me, I’m sure the average user stands no chance. As a founder and CEO, this western DEI system has a major impact on my business as it grows an entitlement mindset in our professional lives and I will fight it.

This situation brings me to the need for us to build our own Indian tech platforms. I’m not against global tech companies. But as an Indian citizen, I feel concerned that my life will be governed by western Big Tech monopolies and we will be culturally subsumed as the above experience shows. This is not about Ola or any of my companies. Ola is too small to make any impact against this. I want to confront this forced ideology as a free thinking Indian and do what I can in my capacity. So here are the actions I’m taking. Putting my money where my mouth is.
⁃While we can’t do anything about Linkedin’s monopoly overnight, I’m making a commitment to work with the Indian developer community to build a DPI social media framework. DPIs like UPI, ONDC, Aadhaar etc are a uniquely Indian idea and is even more needed in the world of social media. The only “community guidelines” should be the Indian law. No corporate person should be able to decide what will be banned. Data should be owned by the creators instead of being owned by the corporates who make money using our data and then lecture us on “community guidelines”!
⁃Since LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft and Ola is a big customer of Azure, we’ve decided to move our entire workload out of Azure to our own @Krutrim cloud within the next week. It is a challenge as all developers know, but my team is so charged up about doing this.
⁃Any other developer who wants to move out of Azure, we will offer a full year of free cloud usage. As long as you don’t go back to Azure after that! Mail us on [email protected]. Offer is perpetually open!

@neelesh_salian @Appyg99 That's a minefield. They can easily pivot to "You must meet my son/cousin's son" as prospective marriage material

@GergelyOrosz I'd do an overwrite instead of delete.
