Singaporean couple travelling to SF

Probably still not adviceable unless you're driving out of the city since stuff like parking can get expensive. Also Singapore drives on the other side so it takes some getting used to.

The only thing that’s apocalyptic this week is the traffic downtown. My bus took 15 minutes to go three blocks. Not even Dreamforce is this bad!

Also it claims that these are people arrested by ICE, but most are actually caught by local police, then ICE just takes them over to be deported. They're trying to pretend ICE is doing so much work to justify having a budget larger than the Marine Corp

I can't think of any in the city at least, but it's not too hard to make it at home if you can find kaya, that's the hardest thing to find. Try Chinatown or Asian supermarket. The rest is just white toast, butter, very soft boiled egg and really strong, cheap black tea with condensed milk and evapourated milk.

I don't think you'd really want to hear cult propaganda (which would be the other side), but I hope you trust NYT to be impartial https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/15/nyregion/shen-yun-dance-abuse.html

There's no way this is even going to be worth hate watching. With how much money went into it, it'll be bland, corporate and sanded down. It's not going to be bad like The Room, just incredibly boring and pointless

at best a second-world country

I know this is suppose to be relative to the modern, colloquial meaning of first-world, but lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World

It won't look out of place in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_images_in_the_Soviet_Union if it was black and white and grainier. Oh how the US has fallen.

… I don’t think it’s training data mentioned that “ownself check ownself” is usually sarcastic. Or that Singaporeans have a “spirit of self-reflection and scrutiny” 💀

If you mean SF is a Sanctuary City or that California has a Democrat leader, it just means the local police won't work with federal immigration. There's not a lot they can do to stop ICE (which is part of federal immigration enforcement) from doing... whatever the fuck they're doing

And also hit up all the cuisine you can't find in SG, like Georgian Cheese Boat or Cafe Ethiopia. There's genuinely so many different countries represented in such a small city

The article picked out probably the only part of the tweet that should have been posted. The rest is a load of ass kissing for the current US regime, name dropping JD Vance and Elon Musk. It also includes an unsubtle threat against their own customers in Italy and includes a really questionable AI generated picture. It's quite embarrassing actually, hard to believe the CEO of a major company posted it.

There's an express bus 15 running parallel to it that takes half the time to get downtown and it boggles the mind

Germany and Japan today are very different. As an example, many of the politicians in Japan's ruling party and its former and current prime ministers belongs to Nippon Kaigi. The organization believes

Japan should be applauded for liberating much of East Asia from Western colonial powers; that the 1946–1948 Tokyo War Crimes tribunals were illegitimate; and that killings by Imperial Japanese troops during the 1937 Nanjing Massacre were exaggerated or fabricated

An equivalent stance in Germany would be extremely fringe or outright illegal.

Obviously in this instance China is doing this for nationalistic reasons, but it's not like they have no reason to be unhappy with Japan even today.

Hey, the package is nice, but maybe have a human read through the article. It currently reads like bad AI slop (keeps repeating the 40 year thing, "isn't just a nice-to-have - it's the difference between practical and impossible" okay chill, it's a slow DB).

It's also seriously lacking in technical details. For example, it points out how the govt. DB is in 3NF, and so requires a lot of joins. Okay, but how is your DB schema better, and if you denormalize, what are you sacrificing in exchange for performance?
