@atrupar He's still being too nice talking about Trump. He needs to call it for what it is.

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

@BallerIndustry Nice guy w kids. Isn't that another way of saying DEI nowadays?

I used to work as a programmer at Credit Suisse. I was working with some guys on an API for financial instrument static reference data. Basically data for bonds, equities, mutual funds and other financial instruments. Data that wasn't supposed to change very often. Stuff like: - A bond's name - A bond's expiry date - The country a mutual fund is domiciled in Anyway there was this team that was responsible for inputting mutual fund data into some system we were replacing. We asked them to use our web UI to input the data, but they said: "No. We like using Excel, we want to input the data with Excel" The data to input was kind of complicated and required lots of validation. We didn't know how to make such a complicated Excel spreadsheet. Luckily there was a team at Credit Suisse called DeskDev. They specialised in making Excel spreadsheets. It was a team of about 10 people and they all smoked and had really bad skin. They had to code in VBA. A lot of traders used the spreadsheets they made so they spent a lot of time on the phone getting yelled at by traders. Basically the job sucked, so people who joined this team got paid extra money. Extra money in exchange for being miserable. We asked DeskDev to make this spreadsheet for us but they said "No, we have too many spreadsheets to support as it is." We talked a bit more and eventually they agreed to make it, but the team I worked on had to support it. They made the sheet, and it worked pretty well. Then a few months later I got an email from a user saying the spreadsheet wasn’t working. I went over to where DeskDev sat and they found they weren’t at their desks. Damn. I then tried out the spreadsheet and it wasn’t working. Shit. In 2009 I had a job writing VBA. So I opened up the code to figure out what was going wrong. Oh man what the hell is this… I tracked through it and found for some reason it was throwing an error when trying to parse JSON into an object. I reproduced the error with a small function like this: // String text = “{ “key”: “value” }” // Object parsed = parse_json(text); The code crashed on the second line. I then looked over to the DeskDev area and I saw one guy was at his desk. A guy called Tommy. I walked over and said “Hey, I have a sheet that’s crashing when trying to parse JSON. Can you help me take a look at it” “Oh, I don’t know how to do that” “It’s two lines of code, I think you’ll get it.” He comes over to my desk and I show him the two lines: “Hmm that’s strange, looks okay but really I don’t know how this stuff works so I can’t really help you” He went back to his desk and I thought “How does he not know how to parse JSON? DeskDev must do that all the time. Most of our APIs give out JSON responses...” I went to lunch and when I came back I saw the boss of DeskDev was at his desk. I asked him to look at the crash. “It’s crashing because you need to call initaliase_json_parser() before using that library.” We add that line and the sheet works. “Thanks man. Hey I asked Tommy about this and he didn’t know how to fix it. How come?” “Oh haha, Tommy doesn’t know anything.” “Oh okay, so why don’t you get rid of him” “Hey come on, he’s a nice guy. Also he has kids. Think about them.” Tommy was a nice guy. He was so nice that people were willing to let him have a job even though he didn’t seem to do or know anything.

@ShashiTharoor @IndianExpress @grok summarize this article

My #TharoorThink column in the @IndianExpress today points to one of the sobering lessons of the recent “G-2” summit in Busan: India should build its own leverage in dealing with either the US or China

@sardesairajdeep Further motivation for other criminals to aspire to become president.

In the eyes of the law, Donald Trump is a convicted felon. In the eyes of America’s complicated electoral college system, he is edging closer to becoming President once again! #USElection

@elonmusk Elon your video player feature absolutely sucks. Fix it

@elonmusk Wow u still crying about it. Gwow up

Literally last month

@RealSnarkyPuppy Damn, how? Why? Gone too soon. RIP 😞😔

Yesterday, we lost a music legend and, more importantly, a beautiful, luminous human being. Shaun Martin touched so many people during his life and through the beautiful immortality of music, will continue to do so. There’s so much that can be said but words can’t do justice. RIP

@elonmusk Good

Just did a search for “Trump rally” on Google and Kamala was the top result!

@electricfelix @G_Bahadue @TeslaCharging @Tesla He did you a big favor. You have the skills, tools, and reputation. Now go start your own charging firm.

✍️@G_Bahadue (ex @TeslaCharging since 3:34 AM) "At 3:34 AM, my nearly 8 year journey at @Tesla came to an end. Though I'm still processing the news, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the hundreds if not thousands of individuals that I have had the honor of working with throughout my Tesla career and for what we have accomplished in accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. I'm thankful for the incredible leaders that have supported my career growth and created a culture of innovation, efficiency and getting shit done with a maniacal focus on customer experience. THANK YOU @emily_eskay @MdeZegher Troy Jones @RebeccaTinucci @sendilpalani @rohanspatel @baglino @ptbean I'm thankful for my direct team of badasses, who with little direction at times always jumped in headfirst to launch new products, business models and forged lasting partnerships that were key in scaling the Supercharger network and making charging accessible for all. THANK YOU @alexkucey Hannah K. @LaneChaplin, Evan Koebel, T.J. C. I'm thankful to our Supercharger leaders that built, developed and inspired high performing teams and led Tesla charging to record growth Monica Bell LEED, Andrew Levy, Peter Diamond, @bsligs711 @FavaroJay52324 Paul Luna, Justin Weil, Tessa Rogers, Jesse Karp, Ron Mola, @SteveHitchinson, Gabriel Martín del Campo, Jorn van de Ven To the @TeslaCharging team, this is not the end, it is the start of a new chapter. Keep your chins up and hold your heads up high - you made EV adoption possible, you conquered the impossible, scaling infrastructure faster and more cost efficiently than anyone, you poured your blood, sweat and tears into building the most reliable, convenient and affordable charging network and YOU SUCCEEDED. You are and always have been the tip of the spear with accelerating EV adoption. LFG ⚡️⚡️⚡️ To my network, you've hit the jackpot-Tesla charging employers are a special breed, and I highly encourage you to consider them as you build your teams and carry on the charging mission. We are behind as an industry - time to get to work 💪"

@elonmusk Twisting words out of context. Idiot

This keeps getting crazier! The head of NPR hates the Constitution of the USA.

@KamalaHarris @JoeBiden You should not be lending to students to take courses that are totally unemployable.

President @JoeBiden and I have approved nearly $138 billion in debt cancellation for almost 4 million Americans as we continue the fight to ease the burden of student debt. This is historic progress—and we won't stop here.
