Today is the last day of the Income Tax Act 1961. A 65 year old law dies tonight. From tomorrow your salary slip changes. Your basic salary must be minimum 50 percent of your CTC. Companies kept it artificially low for years to reduce your PF. That ends tonight. Your PF goes up. Take home may drop slightly. Retirement corpus grows significantly. If you resign your company must settle full and final within 2 working days. Not 30 to 90 days like before. Form 16 is replaced by Form 130. Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad now get 50 percent HRA exemption. Same as Mumbai and Delhi. Tax slabs unchanged. Surveillance gets tighter. Tomorrow I will break down exactly what this means for your pocket. Save this. Share with every salaried man you know.

@WhiteHouse @LarryBoorstein This you?

@WhiteHouse You mean - "I only know how to fuck things up, now you deal with my mess".

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you…” - President Donald J. Trump

@sidhant The only woman who cried for him.

Anchor breaks down at Iran's Press TV announcing the death of Supreme leader Khamenei. Says, "A revenge is coming. A revenge is coming soon. They will see what they have done."

Today is my last day at Anthropic. I resigned. Here is the letter I shared with my colleagues, explaining my decision.

Werner Heisenberg’s PhD defense in 1923 at the University of Munich was nearly a disaster. His written thesis had focused mostly on hydrodynamics, leaving him weak on experimental knowledge. During the oral exam, he stumbled badly on practical questions, like how a storage battery worked or the resolving power of a microscope. His examiners, especially Wilhelm Wien, were appalled at his lack of lab skills. Arnold Sommerfeld, his mentor, had to intervene, arguing that while Heisenberg was hopeless with equipment, his theoretical talent was extraordinary. In the end, he scraped through — barely passing — in what became one of the most awkward defenses in physics history.

@PhysInHistory So his PhD defence was uncertain. At least he knew where he stood.

@brankopetric00 3 months and AWS ? - Invest in a cheaper VPS like Linode or Hetzner - and do option C but minus the EC2. Once you get funding, start giving your money to Amazon.

New startup. You're the first infrastructure hire. CTO wants the platform ready in 3 months. Option A: Kubernetes from day one - Future-proof - Steep learning curve - Longer initial setup - Easier to scale later Option B: Simple ECS + Fargate - Faster to production - Less operational overhead - Might need migration later - AWS lock-in Option C: Just EC2 + Docker Compose - Fastest MVP - Manual scaling - Technical debt guaranteed - Cheapest short-term Team size: 4 developers (none with K8s experience) Expected growth: 10x users in 12 months Funding: Series A secured What's your recommendation?

I've used Gmail for 20 years. Almost 2M emails, 150K attachments. Rather than let Google hold my data hostage, I built msgvault: local-first email archive with a terminal UI and MCP server, powered by DuckDB. Open source, single Go binary. wesmckinney.com/blog/announcin…

The way "jobs" are going - a minimal default social income is a must for every one these days.

@DewanshiTiwari8 This is common mob - "statistical people" behavior. One can see this when driving in high ways. You see an orderly group of cars going along nicely - suddenly a SUV wants to get in between every one and get ahead - and chaos ensues - since everyone wants to do the same.

interesting perspective

@abidsensibull I certify that this opinion is valid.

If you are buying a new flat in Bangalore, you are a complete dummy. Bangalore real estate is so in trouble. They are so desperate that they are violating DND to sell. I’m getting 2-3 automated calls a day announcing flats Disclosure: Yes, I’m screwing them for spamming me 😏

@ybhrdwj When I - a person with zero FE skills - was able to build a SaaS application with FastAPI in the backend and Tailwind/CSS/HTML in the frontend late last year with all FE coding done with #ChatGPT - I felt something like this was coming.

Tailwind lays of 75% of their team. the reason is so ironic: > their css framework became extremely popular w AI coding agents, 75m downloads/mo > that meant nobody would visit their docs where they promoted paid offerings > resulting in 40% drop in traffic & 80% revenue loss

@archeohistories Weapons speak louder than oil.

In 1973, Saudi Arabian King Faisal cut off all oil supplies to the US and other countries for supporting Israel. America then threatened to bomb their oil fields. In response, King Faisal said, “You are the ones who can’t live without oil. Our ancestors lived on dates, and we can easily go back to living like that again.” The image captures a moment from the 1973 oil crisis, a pivotal episode in modern history. That year, following U.S. support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War, Saudi Arabia led an oil embargo through OPEC, cutting off supplies to the U.S. and other Western nations. The result was immediate and severe—gas stations across America ran dry, prices soared, and drivers waited for hours in long lines, often only to be turned away. The U.S. even considered military intervention to secure oil fields. When American officials reportedly threatened military action, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia delivered a now-famous rebuke: “You are the ones who can’t live without oil. Our ancestors lived on dates, and we can easily go back to living like that again.” His words highlighted the cultural and economic divide between the oil-rich Gulf and the energy-dependent West. The crisis reshaped global energy politics and led to lasting changes in how nations approached energy independence. © Vintage American Photos #archaeohistories

#PSLV-C62 goes silent ! 💔 Just before the 3rd phase cut off at 380.5 secs inflight time ... We saw an uncontrolled wild roll clearly visible in the graphics ! With the given velocity of 5.8km/s , it's wild and strong enough to push the rocket off the telemetry charts ! #ISRO

@musing_monica Debt kills. Absolute debt kills absolutely.
