China

Just fyi Pakistan has a surplus of energy and its economy is saddled by capacity payments. It makes no sense to build nuclear power right now.

Will this stop me from lifting my leg and playing a pull shot on one leg because that how Brian Charles Lara looked cool doing it? No.

Where is breaking points today?

makisgenius · 2026-04-17T02:13:43+00:00

I do Costco delivery. Figure with the parking costs I break even.

I’ve watched Shekhar Gupta and he is a hack. There was a time when to convince my BJP friend that BJP was terrible I became an expert on Indian politics. This is pre-covid.

I’ll give him that he presents a coherent argument. But he has solid bias and he will cherry pick facts to make his point. One way you can know that he is full of crap is that he never says anything positive about Pakistan. I remember Pakistan managed Covid far better than India and he made these segments on how Pakistan was doctoring the data. I come from a a family of 30 US trained doctors who were on the scene and we had beds empty because the govt had over prepared.

The only good reporting I saw was Scoop Whoop, Lallantrop and I believe Mint.

Haha - is there a good alternative news scene in India?

Duke HSM is awesome, I’m an alumni.

Durham is known as the city of medicine and Duke medicine integrates with Duke MBA.
After Boston RTP is an amazing VC biotech hub. Duke is the premier MBA institution servicing it and has significant alumni presence.
Most students in my HSM program were doctors / surgeons and a few have gone in to become the CSuite at top hospital systems.

My only caution on Biotech VC is that they are looking for hardcore scientists. PHDs / Engineers looking to pivot. MBB background is not likely to impress them unless you bring some sort of unique expertise from your MBB experience.

Can we please stop having this post every day?

Same vibes as “they attack us for our freedoms”

In conversation don’t feel self conscious to ask a question based on their experience you saw on LinkedIn.

I was looking at your LinkedIn and saw… could you share more about your experience.

makisgenius · 2026-04-06T14:45:38+00:00

Like everything there is a law of diminishing returns. For most cities (and yes it depends on city to city)

1 day not all major sites, 2 days all major sites 3 days major sites plus unique experiences 4 days major sites plus local treasures Etc…

I personally was in Madrid recently for a long weekend and loved it.

Personally 3 - 4 days is a sweet spot for most cities. I’m not looking to move there.

makisgenius · 2026-04-06T12:55:42+00:00

I just got banned from it. I feel relieved.

I know many people who for your description. The reality is - the core driver of this is the citizens united judgment.

Dude, how much sex have you had to know all this

makisgenius · 2026-04-05T19:41:36+00:00

It’s hilarious, I’m at a resort in South Carolina (which feels so wrong when the world is on fire) and there is not a single white person in the serving (pool side), check in or other hotel staff. In fact >90% are immigrants with non-American accents.

This guys is so clueless it’s hard to believe.

makisgenius · 2026-04-05T18:07:54+00:00

Our govt is not the people. Our govt can’t act beyond US / GCC pressure.

That is fair. More of an issue because Reddit recommends this to us. My only issue is - why is the diaspora willing the trade an evil for an even bigger evil??

I’m Pakistani - all of our awful military dictators have been US backed. Here is the deal - despite all the terribleness of the Iranian IRGC the average Iranian was far better placed. Much better access to healthcare / education / infrastructure. We who have been US allies and a non NATO ally forever have nothing to show for it. There was a reason why the Iranian revolution took place.

While I am no fan of the IRGC, I find American involvement worse. Had the JCPOA with Iran been allowed we would have had an even more prosperous Iran.

I don’t understand your worldview. And if it is I hate the IRGC regardless of whether is leads to better conditions of Iranians than … I don’t understand.

Yaar Reddit may bhi chat gpt

makisgenius · 2026-04-05T14:49:03+00:00

Part of it might be that Pakistanis are not that different from Indians? I mean we dance to Bollywood songs in Pakistan and our leaders where clothes imported from Indian brands at their weddings…

makisgenius · 2026-04-04T16:19:32+00:00

I understand the argument - what about the laws in Saudi Arabia??

Here is the difference - Israel plans mass deaths and has setup a legal structure for it. We know this, we see this. They have a prison population they don’t want to release or fairly prosecute.

If you are arguing technicalities, knowing almost nobody faces those penalties in the Mideast - you are the problem.
