I've experienced most of these issues. Also, it appears this blogpost is from the future?

Why is this being downvoted? These are references to primary sources that directly contradict facts presented.

Humans are living beyond earth, right now, as you read this, on the ISS.

The three bursts 1ms apart don't appear to be natural (or at least, we don't currently understand how they may occur naturally). The signal may be extraterrestrial.

Hey everyone, excited to share EmailRep with this community. My co-founder (@jkamdjou) and I are here to answer any questions you might have. A few folks here are already using it to detect malicious signups, and we're using it ourselves for phishing detection. Cheers

Unfortunately I’m finding this to be the case with much of TC’s content. A shame because there used to be genuinely interesting commentary all over the sure not long ago.

Fair point. Let's say it's 2x, in which case Snapchat still exceeds Instagram. I think we're splitting hairs here, I certainly agree that the chart is misleading in a very real way (primarily due to how Snapchat is reporting uploads/shares), but the point it asserts is still valid re: Facebook's offer.

As noted in the article linked: "...88% of snaps sent to one recipient."

If the KPCB chart were adjusted such that one send = one upload (certainly a better measure) I doubt the delta between Snapchat and Instagram changes much.

Why should students who aren't able to get paid internships be denied the right to have an unpaid internship? I would not be where I am today were it not for unpaid internships.

Some people would be helped by mandating all internships be paid, but these are not the people who need the most help. The people who need the most help are the ones that would be cut off from any chance at early work experience by such a system.

The idea of everyone having a paid internship is nice, but many places will simply stop offering them if unpaid interns aren't an option.

Also, no one is forcing these students to work anywhere. Yes, market forces drive them towards an internship, but there are many internships in the market.

If unpaid internships were banned or otherwise made illegal, companies could still bring in students as volunteers, which are unpaid. They would still get the same experience and be in exactly the same position, except now they are no longer eligible for college credit and certain legal protections. How is that a better system?

Are there any compelling arguments why unpaid internships should be made illegal? If not illegal, then how should/could they be reformed?

What you're describing doesn't seem lean. Why "build a thing" if you haven't first identified a demand for it? A landing page can be a part of identifying this demand.

http://www.leandesigns.com/ is also a great tool, but this is a great gift to the larger community from Twitter, and for that we thank you.
