Crime to not watch this live #LM10 #ARGEGY #FIFAWorldCup2026

Have been watching world cups since 2002 and this has to be the best world cup in terms of competitiveness. So many close games..

Waiting for the day when it can iron my clothes

@JoePompliano @TickPick Argentina’s group stages were all $1.5K + when one day was left.

The get-in price for USA vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina tomorrow in San Francisco is currently $1,274. That makes it the third-most expensive event ever at Levi's Stadium — behind only the 2016 and 2026 Super Bowls. (Data from @TickPick)

David wins vs Goliath #FIFA

Message from the Airbnb host I received in the US American tipping culture is utterly disgusting

@t_blom What do you do when you aren’t driving?

I’m astonished more people aren’t raving about Tesla’s full self driving. I no longer need to drive my car. The only time I take control is to back into my garage because it’s down an awkward ramp.

Is he great or is he great? #LM10 #FIFAWorldCup2026

I'm seeing a lot of tech founders on O-1s and H-1Bs ring the alarm bells over this. But they don't need to panic. H-1B and O-1 visas are dual intent visas, i.e. you are allowed to apply for a green card while you are on them. My understanding is that nothing changes for these applicants. Tourist, F-1 (student), and similar visas are temporary for non-immigrant intent. On those, you are not meant to apply for a green card, because that shows immigrant intent. That's why people on F-1 visas applying for green cards, for example, can't leave the country for a year or two while they're waiting -- they might not be re-admitted at the border. The loophole that DHS/USCIS is closing is the one where you can be on a non-immigrant visa but still apply for permanent immigration inside the country, because that immigrant intent is only evaluated at the border, not by USCIS at application-time. (Confusing, right?) On its face, limiting non-immigrant visas to not enabling permanent residency, and instead directing those applicants to the proper immigrant visa route, is not crazy. When you get a non-immigrant visa, you do certify that you don't intend to immigrate. The only technical talent that suffers from this are F-1 students on post-completion OPT, of whom there are many bright achievers in Silicon Valley. But many of those are also good fits for O-1s. As an aside, I obtained my green card on the F-1 -> EB-3 path, which is what's being challenged by this memo. I'm grateful it was straight-forward at the time because I never got an H-1B visa in the lottery (30% chance), but this was also not an ideal process. Three years of uncertainty. In my view, what closing this loophole does is force the conversation on the need for skilled immigration visas -- a better, faster, higher-certainty pathway from a strong university to the right to work that doesn't have you competing in a stacked lottery. The Twitter reaction is alarmist, but I think the policy reality is more benign.

@SpeakSamuel As an Indian, there is no excuse leaving your old age parents in India when they are ill, let alone not visiting a dying mother. Ashamed.

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out. He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations. Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs. If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose. linkedin.com/posts/gautam-d…

@Zephyr_hg SCRAPE

Competitor research takes me 2 minutes now. Built a scraper that monitors websites, tracks price changes, and extracts product data automatically. Claude AI pulls contact info, pricing, and company details straight into Google Sheets. Used to spend 10-15 hours monthly doing this manually. Now it updates every hour while I focus on closing deals. Comment "SCRAPE" and I'll DM it to you (must be following)

@maharshii PM like every Indian in SF

i have a secret to get to 80-100LPA in india and it’s not DSA, some people might guess what it is.

@anubhavgupta_ji So 1. Chinese are more likely to come for Ba chelors than Masters. Bachelors carries more weight. Most Masters degrees are an expensive ticket to the US. And 2. Plenty of Chinese are funded by their Govt. to come and study in the US and they are supposed to return back.

Difference b/w Chinese & Indian students in U.S.: Chinese 🇨🇳: • Come on F1/H1B • Acquire Skills • Return to China • Ban U.S. Apps (Fb, Insta, WhatsApp) • Build own Giant tech (TikTok, WeChat etc.) 🇮🇳 Indians: • Come for study/work • Settle in the U.S. • Lead global firms (Google, Apple, Microsoft) • Never return to India China builds China. India builds America.

@SuleimanFPL If you had to do a set and forget, what would your team be?

I'm tempted to pick Mbeumo for the next two games! He looked great against Arsenal: 0.42 xG, 6 touches in the opposition box! #FPL #FPLCommunity

@pitdesi @bryan_johnson Wish they did this for weed (marijuana). Feel like people just replaced alcohol with weed.

Gallup: US drinking is at its lowest since they started recording 85 yrs ago Biggest declines: White people, women, Republicans. Mostly health-driven. @bryan_johnson well done.

@TarunAmasa @OpenAI Would absolutely love to try this out.

It’s official. We’ve raised $14m led by @OpenAI Startup Fund to bring AI to Excel. Endex is the first AI agent to live inside Excel. For the past year, we've been working with financial firms. Today we’re releasing it to the world. Our capacity is limited; comment below for an early invite 🧵

You're either a - Sachin - Messi - Federer person or - Kohli - Ronaldo - Nadal person. There's nothing in between.

@PerplexityComet🚀 Haven’t felt this pumped about something in the consumer space since my first AirPods—feels just like cutting the cord on Chrome. This is truly next level @AravSrinivas

@munster_gene The earnings were good. I just feel people are searching more in general and its hard to quantify how much of Google’s lunch is getting eaten up by ChatGPT, Grok and Perplexity. I for one rarely use Google. Also, Comet is getting glowing reviews.

GOOG: ➡️I am surprised that shares of $GOOG are not higher. I would have guessed stock should be up 2-4% on this print. ➡️They fractionally beat on Search by 2% and that was the key metric. ➡️The other segments were inline with expectations (Cloud and YouTube) ➡️Comments from the press release reiterate that management see’s AI as a positive force for the business, suggesting they will have upbeat comments about the first couple of months of “AI Mode”. ➡️Capex increase from $75B to $85B is a sign that they’re all in on AI infrastructure and AI more broadly.

@LiveFPLnet I think its good. If chips and strategies keep changing, the game will be less robotic and relatively less model reliant.

Won't be fun to code 😅 but hopefully fun for you, managers? Personally prefer the game with fewer chips not more
