    zero information. honestly how can you even call this reporting. do the research, then share it…don’t just report the hype that you hear on other news sites.

      One of the presenter recently wrote an article about influencers being a hot trend. Geniunely thought it was an article that was accidentally reposted from 2014-2015ish; until I looked at the date – NOV 2019!! Influencers with large followers (mostly bots) on IG bring no value to advertisers, i.e. sauce-less bunch. There were abundance of articles written about this whole phenomena and its controversial incidents. When it comes to their spending, big companies aren’t that stupid and realised they [influencers] were bunch of charlatan that would spew and shill anything, for the right price. Not worth the risk of having a closet racist/homophobic/pedophile as the face of your brand; see all the “influencers” who’ve lost their sponsorship deals after little digging. Officially unsubbed!

      ​@M Man haha exactly. Like they admit in this episode that they made the video without doing any research on all the companies Softbank holds…..but they still thought it was worth them posting lol….actually admitting to making and posting spam.

What makes for an impressive humanoid robot? Boston Dynamics has a new Atlas model that ditches the hydraulics and is electrically powered. The new Atlas robot is leaner, but not meaner — it’s actually designed to be more approachable and less industrial. But its improved range of motion is still intended to help it perform those industrial tasks, and with its compact size and ability to maneuver fairly gracefully, it can unlock new use cases and possible work environments. TechCrunch’s Alex Wilhelm discusses what this could mean for robots entering the workplace.

Tesla’s layoffs and executive departures could spell out financial trouble for the EV manufacturer after a long run of success. After laying off at least 10 percent of its staff, the company is shifting its focus in the face of declining demand of EVs and declining margins after a spree of cost cutting. And this comes after an already tough year for Tesla, as its market cap has dropped 35 percent, the Cybertruck’s release has been met with a muted response, and its rivals in China are picking up market share. TechCrunch’s Alex Wilhelm explores what Tesla’s investors are hopeful for in the future.

In order to get drivers to convert from gas-powered cars to electric, there needs to be reliable charging infrastructure. Today on Found, Dom and Becca are joined by Louis Tremblay, the CEO and founder of FLO () , a company that manufactures electric vehicle charging stations and has been creating charging infrastructure in the US and Canada for the last 15 years. Tremblay also talked about how he intentionally built this company to be a rewarding and fun place to work and what advice he has for new founders trying to do the same. 

In this conversation they cover:

• The components that go into creating superchargers for public use and why these isn’t just one kind of EV plug
• The process of working with cities to design charging stations that reflect the character of the city
• The importance of developing the hardware alongside the software to create the best customer experience possible
