The myth that all startups make their employees work 7 12 hour days every week, pay them way under market rate, and that there's no flexibility for time off or travel is pretty silly. Do you work extra hard at startups? Of course. But

I'm a big Tesla fan, but is it really the job of the white house to tell states how to regulate commerce? I could be wrong but it doesn't seem like this is an interstate commerce issue if Tesla is trying to actually open shops in

Tracking pixels in emails have been around for many years and are used by almost everybody. That's why many email clients block images by default.
