@_gagan Define "pleasant" weather. For the other three, Vancouver is as good as it gets, especially the nature part.

I might be expecting too much but is there any city in the world that has pleasant weather year round, is pedestrian-friendly, has a good food culture and has easy access to nature?

@rishabhm Are you trying to show off or are you trying to gain sympathy points? #zeroworldproblems :P

I'm flying SQ economy for the first time. Till now I've ever only flown SQ on Business class award tickets. I've lived in Singapore for close to 4 years now 🙆🏽‍♂️. Now given 9Ws demise no other option 🤷🏽‍♂️

@_kulbir Well, politeness is a feature here. Even the homeless might not shout at you

@_kulbir Please be coming back in November or February, saar :P. Anyway how long are you here? Need any tips or help, let me know!

@_kulbir The older buses and skytrain don't, but the new ones do. I know since I take them everyday :P

@_kulbir Pretty standard... Needs to support everyone streaming 4k videos on their screens simultaneously

@_kulbir Compensating for the speed limits on the road?

@rishabhm I would like some 'rock stare' SDEs in my team :P

Just saw an old classmate's LinkedIn profile. He says that he's hiring "Rockstar SDEs" at his firm. Wtf does that even mean ? #facepalm

@rishabhm It is easier to exaggerate the truth that way :P

I wonder why people refer to themselves in the third person in their LinkedIn profiles 🙄

@rishabhm @srirangr Silence shouldn't be construed as absence :P

@mythalez @srirangr Holy fuck you are alive.

Clearly, @DeepMindAI is one of the most innovative companies of the 21st century. As I've said earleir, when history of 21st century is written DeepMind's contributions will be written in golden ink: Machine learning can boost the value of wind energy deepmind.com/blog/machine-l…

Is it just me or do Black Panther and Bahubali have too many similar plot points?

@TransLink what happens to 410 at 22nd St Stn after 8.15am everyday? The 8.22 and 8.28 are always late by 10 mins at least, while the queue grows so long as to reach around the block!
