After over a year of building Flyflow alongside you, we've decided to sunset the product. The team is joining forces with a larger company to build something new (more to come!). Talking to our customers has consistently been the most

I predict his character arch will be similar to Adam Neumann and Travis Kalanick - first the media gushes over him and praises him as a genius. Then the media starts to question him. Then they start to fully dig in and dig up a ton of dirt.

European cities were built a thousand years ago to be dense by default because that was the technology. The US is very young and not dense, save for a few downtown clusters. There is definitely a lot that can be done, but it really comes do

When those reports come out that “The average Google employee makes $220k a year” or whatever, it’s totally misleading since it doesn’t account for all the outsourced labor at $10 an hour that is critical to tuning their algorithms.
