A mission and a reasonable distribution of equity with fair terms do not need to be mutually exclusive, that's how I read the original comment. If the C-levels are still getting massive chunks of equity with tiny strike prices while yo

I didn’t read this as advocating for everyone to run to get tested immediately. This is more a call to healthcare professionals to advocate for this testing. One way this can roll out is when sexually active adults who are considered low ri

I wonder if this is part of the plan to merge messaging on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Pull out the final messaging platform that doesn't have its own app and then begin merging Threads, Messenger, and WhatsApp into one. https:
