This seems incredibly racist. There could be low level employees of other ethnicities or countries of origin leaking information. That’s like saying ban all muslims from entering the US due to their ‘track record’

IG content isn’t nonsensical IMO. The content on IG is generally of higher quality and visually curated. It’s also a better platform for showcasing your brand if you’re in the ecommerce space than FB Pages for example.

Granted, there are accounts that are dedicated to memes and other ‘nonsensical’ content, but you get much more of that on FB. Putting IG in the same trash pile that FB is in is unfair.

> Elon Musk says the V9.0 update will bring classic Atari games to Tesla's giant screens

That’s just what I need in my Tesla.

Just like Zendesk and other outdated enterprise level software out there

Why bother with offices at all then? Why are companies paying tons of money for office space on prime real estate in SF, or dishing out free lunches and dinners, if people are more productive working from home? Google and Facebook should just mandate that people work from home.

Do the new sippy cup lids take more plastic to make though?

What they need to do is get rid of the plastic cups altogether. It’s summer and I’m starting to see more and more plastic starbucks cups in the garbage, as well as littered on the streets. Cities and states need to start banning plastic cups, or at least make it an additional 50c per use of plastic cup

When will US cities do the same? Most restaurants offer plastic togo containers, which ends up in the landfill. Some restaurants even use plastic bowls and plates for dine-in customers, arguably so they don’t have to invest in equipment and labor to wash dishes.

With The China recycling ban, this becomes more of a pressing issue. I’m surprised cities aren’t outright banning or imposing a tax on the use of plastics at restaurants.

Interesting that they decide to publish this now. Also interesting that this is not a full audit, and while it might show Tether is backed 1:1 to USD, the timing is right before the BTC pump in Oct 2017.

What Tether needs is a full audit of its accounts from Oct - EOY 2017, where number of Tethers tripled.

Hopefully they do put this away once and for all with an actual full audit so everyone can move on

Nice list. Content marketing is often underrated, but is extremely useful and important

Sometimes it’s just exchanges moving their assets around

it’s unacceptable to ignore users. At least respond and provide a timeline or a reasonable acknowledgement. Sure, your company might have big accounts thst need more attention, but if there are bugs piled up and feature requests left rotting on the shelf - HIRE.

I dont think it’s impossible to both chase whales as well as satisfying pools of smaller fish. It’s often hard to tell a whale ‘no’ so your team can work on smaller pressing issues for some smaller customers, but there just needs to be a balance and discipline on doing that. How you say no is also extremely important :)
