Looks great. As a note I don't count credit card rewards as revenue, but rather I count it as an offset to expenses. In this way, rewards don't add to the top line, but rather improves the bottom line. Basically I consider it a wa

How would you know that this article is itself not fake? In this case, disclaimers have been placed on the original article, but that doesn't usually happen. This is the problem with confirmation bias. What if another article came out

Looks awesome. The Hello Robot shown is fairly pricy. (From the site: "A Fully Integrated Mobile Manipulator for $19,950"). What are the options to do similar manipulations for lower cost on a robotic unit?

I agree - this shows Signal in a good light. But it does beg the question what is the real financial incentive discussed in the article for the large tech companies to have such employee bloat? You'd think that employee bloat would be
