Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said jobs for citizens will be the government’s top priority as the city-state faces risks from rising global trade barriers and artificial intelligence. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/18/tech/singapore-jobs-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #singapore #ai #jobs
I do love this about #Singapore:
“In 2015, the then Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, who has a first-class degree in mathematics and a diploma in computer science from Cambridge, shared a Sudoku solver on Facebook which he had programmed himself in C, which racked up 36,000 likes and 12,000 shares within a day. One of his ministers, Vivian Balakrishnan, promptly translated the program to JavaScript and posted his own version online. That sort of alacrity for technology in the upper echelons of government is still rare in much of the rest of the world and Singapore has that to its advantage. “

Glad that someone informed me that my side project https://busrouter.sg is featured on CNA Insider's Singapore Hour "The Unseen Side of Singapore’s Bus System", under the chapter "Woodlands Bus Depot: The Eyes and Ears of Singapore’s Bus System" (04:08) https://youtu.be/_BURy2_mGZM?t=248&feature=shared
Pretty cool. #Singapore

I do love a good Singlish joke

A Greater Racket-tailed Drongo (Dicrurus paradiseus) spotted at Mount Faber Park, Singapore on 16 Feb 2025. Always good to see these birds in the forest, especially those that still have those distinctive long tail feathers.

2/ neither CNBC nor WSJ ran with a headline that even sort of implies Autumn Radtke committed suicide, instead using adjectives like "mysterious" and “unexplained” to describe her defenestration from a Singaporean high rise and subsequent demise.
one of the last people to see #AutumnRadtke alive was Steve Beauregard, chief executive and founder (with #BrockPierce) of #Singapore based GoCoin.

when i wrote my piece on Epstein's #crypto connections I forgot that #IsabelMaxwell (#Ghislaine's sister) was connected to #BrockPierce even before she invited Pierce to speak at epstein's #Mindshift conference.
Brock Pierce is a big nexus of connection from #Epstein to things like crypto and confirmed pedophile rings (other than his own).
both Maxwell & Pierce were socially close to a crypto broette named #AutumnRadke who died under extremely mysterious circumstances back in 2014. most people think she "fell out of a window", putin style.
