    Another story about John Allen Chau.

    The detractors and supporters of Chau often seemed to be screaming past one another about different realities. Where some people saw a sensitive missionary prepared by years of training, others saw an overconfident, underprepared young American cheered to his death by his mentors.

    It's such a middle-finger to those who put in the work to run 26.2. Fuck all the cheaters.

    Posting this here ... just because it seems like journalism and it is long form even without all the photos.

    TL;DR:

    The room we see in the video, then, did not exist in that form when the video would supposedly have taken place.

    Dog-walking startup Wag raised $300 million to unleash growth. Then things got messy
    Together, they followed Uber's playbook: connect pet owners with Wag's network of dog walkers, who work as independent contractors.
    The startup attracted endorsements from celebrities including singer Mariah Carey and actress Olivia Munn, who is also an investor. By the time of the SoftBank deal, Wag had reached 100 US cities.
    "When they started expanding, that's when things got messy," a former customer service employee, citing growth that began really ramping up in 2017.

    The same one that a business that is hemorrhaging money and say it may never turn a profit IPOs for billions.
