@SalmanJaffer9 This is very interesting!! I wonder if there will be resistance to adopting this kind of food manufacturing. #BCSTT

@CollinAIngram I definitely feel that pressure too with the square payments. I agree that tips are unreliable as I know people that never tip and people that tip 20% everytime. #BCSTT

Watch Doordash's co-founders in their application to Y- combinator! Crazy how far they have gone. Wonder if applications to Y-combinator have increased recently #BCSTT

"The pandemic has brought a jolt of interest to systems that go beyond filtering undesirable particles out of the air." The pandemic has alleviated the earth for a little bit, and we will need to continue with the help of technology and make it affordable for everyone. #BCTT

Technology that seamlessly fixes air quality will become widespread in homes by 2030, developers say https://t.co/Cxku50LjWH

We mentioned this in class before, but I was surprised to know the DoorDash takes the majority market share for food delivery. #BCSTT

[DoorDash @DoorDash]

DoorDash is officially on the @NYSE! We’re proud to take the next step toward our mission of growing and empowering local economies. https://t.co/5OuZDxMN2Z

@katiektfox Personal favorite was Rebecca Moretti from @RobinhoodSnacks! She emphasized the importance of how to tell a good story, which is what she does everyday writing for Snacks Daily. #BCSTT

@tor_newell Very cool that they are getting this kind of coverage, and yes I'm convinced... The socks are SOOO comfortable! #BCSTT

[Sofia Pedro @sofpedr]

Was this surprising to anyone else? Personally, the community around me relies heavily on Slack and I did not know that Zoom would be a direct competitor. Good question to ask for our meeting today with Al from Salesforce! #BCSTT

@NishaMomin7 hahaha just hoping on the oat-milk trend. Milk consumption has been drastically decreasing the past 5 years with new health trends and milk alternatives. #BCSTT

[Sofia Pedro @sofpedr]

Looks like this will take many jobs from actors... What other spaces do you guys see the feature of creating fake people being used? #BCSTT

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Recognize any of these people? From Facebook? Twitter?

These images are not real — they’re from the mind of a computer, and they’re infiltrating the internet.

We set up our own AI system to understand how this technology works. https://t.co/rNQXV2jh73

Wonder if workout junkies will abandon airpods and turn to echobuds with these new workout features. I'm sure Apple will find ways to incorporate these workout features in the near future as well. #BCSTT #G

Amazon Echo Buds TWS earphones can now track workouts

We have seen this trend with the gaming industry, but I wonder what new industries will also be experimenting with cryptocurrencies. #BCSTT

Reading @RobinhoodSnacks this morning, they shows social media companies copying each other on successful feautures. Twitter with snapchat stories and snapchat with tiktok-like videos. Will the ‘first mover’ concept hold with features? #BCSTT

[Sofia Pedro @sofpedr]

A perfect example of how machine learning is integrated to the health care industry. This qXR tool can instantly detect signs of tuberculosis, showing hopeful signs for other diseases. #BCSTT #G

[MicrobesInfect @MicrobesInfect]

These Algorithms Could End the Scourge of #Tuberculosis.

TB, the most deadly infectious disease in the world, claimed ~1.4 million lives last year. An app called qXR is 1 of many #AI-based tools that have emerged recently for screening & diagnosing #TB.

@annieli01 I think a company like airbnb should definitely be prioritizing data especially since their data on home location is a very private datapoint to be compromised. #BCSTT

[Sofia Pedro @sofpedr]

Google Pay is doing a big push to compete directly with Venmo in quick money transfers to friends. However, it encourages you to integrate with Google Photos and Gmail to get full capabilities. Would you be open to integrating? #BCSTT #G

[Sofia Pedro @sofpedr]

@lilimfleming Not sure if this aspect of texting will add much value to conversations. I know many people that delete messages every 30 days on apple’s imessage and I don’t see it being very different #BCSTT

[Sofia Pedro @sofpedr]

@KyleAlvy I think this is a fantastic idea. I wrote a blog post about this on how developers had a hard time gaining traction with 30% of its revenue going straight to apple. #BCSTT

[Sofia Pedro @sofpedr]

@albertomedgonz Im really curious to see the adoption if people actually using this compared to instagram because of the text heavy environment that twitter has. #BCSTT
