Yeah, I've thought about creating a "Slack for every WiFi" but before I commit to adding more features, I'd love to collect more feedback. So try it out with your colleagues and let me know how it goes!

I moved to the US in 2011 with my first startup (and was lucky enough to be able to stay here). I don't think I would be able to do the same under Trump: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/20/us/trump-i

Yep, you’re right on both points (trucking being the first industry that will adopt self-driving technology on mass-scale and the potential displacement of millions of jobs) but I’m not sure if John Deere will be spared in the process, only

From what I understand the FB app is bloated because it's shipped with all experimental features that are toggled on/off with flags by all the teams that are working on the app. So yeah, that adds up.
