BBC is absolutely good enough. They have a legally binding corporate governance structure, a team of editors fact-checking the reporters and sources, annual audits from an external team, and a reputation for honest journalism to defend for continued readership. https://www.bbc.com/news/help-41670342

I recommend getting information from sources like the BBC over sources like the "China Tribunal".

This is a controversial subject. It is important to get information from sources that have rigorous fact-checking and a reputation to defend.

Yeah, absolutely. Butterfield was both Slack and Flickr.

Slack: They first built a game, it didn't do well, so they pivoted to focus on the message system they built for the game.

Flickr: They first built a game, it didn't do well, so they pivoted to focus on the image hosting they built for the game.

Games are hard.
