I have two half-Thai cousins who live in Florida (natch) and they are flagrant white supremacists and anti-immigration, despite having been born to a Thai immigrant who only recently became a US citizen. For bonus points, one of them happens to look generically Central American and the other looks Japanese, so they got lots of shit growing up for being a variety of different races. You would think that might have made them sensitive to people on the receiving end of racism, but nope - I guess it just taught them how to do it.

should we be using APIs?

Nah, it’s a fad.

I’m a programmer. In 2010 I had a boss come up to me and tell me we should start using APIs. He had just read an article about how APIs were the next big thing. Fortunately he had a short attention span and soon wandered off and never mentioned APIs again, and I was able to get back to work on the awesome Blackberry app I was writing.

What am I doing with my life?

Helping to train our replacements.

I had a boss years ago and I knew everything about his financial situation because he had hired me to trade S&P500 futures with/for him. He had about $20 million in stock, a beach house in South Carolina worth a couple million, and he owned a temp agency that paid him about $40,000 a month, so he was certainly rich by any normal human standards. But he had moved from San Francisco and was friends with a bunch of venture capital types who were all worth more than a couple of hundred million dollars, and it was obvious that his (relative) poverty absolutely burned him to his core. This was why he imagined that day-trading futures was going to be his key to the really big time - he could never see that the brokerages we dealt with were just scamming him.
