Located in downtown Detroit, I actually stayed on with them on and off throughout most of college. Read MoreThink Outside The Valley: How Tech Companies Can Change The World

Jul 18, 10:00PM
The business of e-commerce is still mostly a national affair. U.S. consumers order from U.S. retailers like Amazon, Gap and Walmart; Chinese consumers buy from Chinese sites such as Tmall, Taobao and JD.com; and Indian consumers flock to Flipkart and SnapDeal.

Jul 18, 8:30PM
On a typical day, I’ll chat with colleagues on Slack. Later, I’m sure to receive a message from a friend on WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

Although messaging is the way users communicate with each other, it’s not how… Read MoreThe Future Of Podcasting

Jul 18, 1:00PM
Everything is broken. Just ask any security engineer. Way back in 1998, the members of the hacker collective L0pht testified to Congress that they could take down the entire Internet in 30 minutes by abusing BGP, the Border Gateway Protocol, an obscure but critically important routing system. That was seventeen years ago and BGP is still vulnerable. Everything is terrible. Read MoreThe Benefits Of Being A Total Zero
Jul 18, 11:00AM
“There are three types of people,” astronaut Chris Hadfield told me. “-1, 0, and +1.” When a business fails it feels like a -1. When a relationship fails, often it’s because I’ve been a -1. Certainly stalking and begging and crying has made me a -1 many times. When I clam up in my shell, refusing to take responsibility, afraid to return calls, afraid to… Read MoreA New Class Of Worker Could Fix The On-Demand Economy

Jul 17, 10:04PM
Today’s one of those completely useless internet fake holiday days. It’s World Emoji Day! Anyways, emojis can be serious business, or in the case of Twitter…should be serious business. My colleague Jon Russell pointed out that Twitter might be missing the boat on charging for cool emoji packs like messaging service Line and others do. Twitter is missing a trick not… Read MoreCrunchWeek: Tech Makes Money, Reddit's Implosion Continues, And Your Favorite Startup Is Doomed

Jul 17, 9:00PM
For most of us, and certainly for most of your team, meetings are the least productive part of our day. Yet too many brilliant people are stuck in too many meetings. Meeting cultures begat more meetings, and the downward cycle continues, crippling productivity and crushing psyches. Read MoreOf Course Microsoft Will Push Windows 10 Updates To Consumers
Jul 17, 8:51PM
Freak out, everyone, Microsoft intends to update its software. That it said it would update. That it said it would update on a continuous basis. Because it’s trying to build and release Windows 10 as a service. So it’s going to push new code. LOSE YOUR SHIT. Kidding. But really, I’m slightly confused.
