'Private' and 'hidden' mean different things to Facebook
Aug 14, 4:02PM
Facebook’s leadership made a pretty heavy-handed indication this year that it believes Facebook Groups are the future of the app. They announced all of this alongside their odd declaration that “The future is private.” Now, Facebook is changing the language describing the visibility of privacy of groups.

WeWork's S-1 misses these three key points
Aug 14, 2:14PM
No startup is as polarizing as WeWork, and for good reason.

Misfit releases a new Wear OS smartwatch
Aug 14, 2:00PM
It's almost certainly no coincidence that Misfit's new smartwatch bears more than a passing resemblance to the Fossil devices announced a week or two back.

P2P boat rental startup Boatsetter recognized this opportunity, and is now announcing a $10 million Series A “extension” funding round to help it grow its business, with […]

Aug 14, 1:00PM
Starsky Robotics has been building its self-driving — and human-driven — truck business for three years now. And it’s finally ready to show off its first product.
