I'm suggesting that, until America takes care of its debt, untangles the housing mess and gets unemployment under control, we all commit to working six days a week. Yep, move the standard 35-40 hour work week right up to 48 hours.
Of course the first version of an all-electric sports car is going to be expensive.
The currency of blogging is authenticity and trust... you pay folks to blog about a product and you compromise that. I would almost care about this, but it's so obvious to everyone that this is either a joke or an idiot that there is nothing more to say.
Car technology needs to advance, and the best place for that to happen in is Silicon Valley.
These days, headlines are trying to get you to click.
The stuff coming out of Silicon Valley is dorky. Like, it's not very sexy.
The wisdom of the crowds has peaked. Web 3.0 is taking what we've built in Web 2.0 - the wisdom of the crowds - and putting an editorial layer on it of truly talented, compensated people to make the product more trusted and refined.

As the founder of your company, you must be in love with your brand and inspired by your brand's mission if you have any hope of getting press for your product.
Commercial real estate is really a black box: its super opaque, and it's hard to get the information.
