Warnings ignored, and the stunning fact that the wealthiest country in the world is short of masks and gowns and ventilators - and possibly, hospital beds. Dr Dennis Carroll says it's time to rip off the bandaid on harsh #coronavirus\xa0measures. #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/ZNZnhZnmPs

I like this heuristic, and have a few which are similar in intent to it:
Hiring efficiency:
How long does it take, measured from initial expression of interest through offer of employment signed, for a typical candidate cold inbounding to the company?
What is the *theoretical minimum* for *any* candidate?
How long does it take, as a developer newly hired at the company:
* To get a fully credentialed machine issued to you
* To get a fully functional development environment on that machine which could push code to production immediately
* To solo ship one material quanta of work
How long does it take, from first idea floated to "It's on the Internet", to create a piece of marketing collateral.
(For bonus points: break down by ambitiousness / form factor.)
How many people have to say yes to do something which is clearly worth doing which costs $5,000 / $15,000 / $250,000 and has never been done before.
Here's how I'd measure the health of any tech company:

How long, as measured from the inception of idea to the modified software arriving in the user's hands, does it take to roll out a *1 word copy change* in your primary product?

(1) Kushner is worth $324 million.
(2) Since 2016, Kushner has connived, with Saudi help, to force the Qataris (literally at a ship's gunpoint) to "loan" him $900 million.
(3) This is consistent with the Steele dossier.
(4) Kushner is unlikely to ever have to pay the "loan" back.
2/ So as you read about his tax practices, you should take from it that it's practices of this sort that ensure that he's able to extort money from foreign governments while Trump is POTUS without ever having to pay the money back. It also explains why he's in the Saudis' pocket.
3/ It's why the Saudis *say* he's in their pocket. It's why emoluments and federal bribery statutes matter. It's why Kushner was talking to the Saudi Crown Prince the day before the murdered Washington Post journalist was taken. It's why the Trump administration now does nothing.

Jared Kushner has a net worth of almost $324 million. But it appears that he paid little or no federal income taxes from 2009 to 2016, according to a review of confidential financial documents obtained by NYT. https://t.co/pMQDeCeDNq

Story 17- it is about Bhagwan Shiva as merchant selling precious navaratna stones
மாணிக்கம் விற்ற படலம்
Veerapandian was happily ruling the Pandya kingdom.Apart from the queen,he had many wives.Though he had children born to him from his other wives,but the queen was not blessed with a child.Queen was sad due to this & urged Veera pandian to do Shiva puja & Vrathams along with her.
After following several rituals& Vrathams they were blessed with a son.He named him as SelvaPandyan & taught him vedas & sastras.Once when veerapandian went to forest for hunting,he was attacked by a tiger & was killed.
The sudden demise of Raja brought sorrow to family& people.
The other sons of Raja used this opportunity to loot the riches from treasury,took away precious jewels,crowns & many other treasures.Ministers unaware of this decided to sworn in young prince as the Raja.They were shocked when the treasury was opened.The crown was not there.
Enough Gems were not there to make a new crown.With great worry, ministers along with prince SelvaPandyan decided to go to Alayam of Bhagwan Shiva & Meenakshi devi to guide them on next https://t.co/v5UhkQnxv6 they nearing Alayam,a charming jewel trader walked towards them.

A #story from Bhagavatham
- #Krishna's childhood leelas
This sculpture depicts Krishna leela that happened when he crawled around with Ural/mortar that was tied with rope on his waist.

Bhagwan Krishna was a very naughty child.Yashoda being fed up by pranks of Krishna tied him to a mortar/ural with a rope after a great https://t.co/AgI4HLU48u Krishna is called as Damodara- दाम(dam) means-rope,उदर (udara)means stomach. Later,Yashoda goes inside to do her work.
Left alone in the courtyard,
Krishna started moving about around with the mortar rolling behind him on the move.
On the way,there were 2 huge trees close to each other. Krishna crawled in between the trees & mortar got stuck in between.He tried to pull with all his strength.
As result,uproots twin trees causing them to fall down.The trees transform into 2 Gandharvas - Nalakuvara & Manigriva (sons of Kubera). They were cursed by Rishi Narada into becoming Arjuna trees.Liberated from curse,they thank Bhagwan Krishna.
