For once, I thought this was something related to the political scene in India. Now that it's election season and the right-wing (BJP/RSS) actually protested against Twitter on roads alleging them to be left aligned or supporting the opposition.
+ social features of Breaker.
Make it available in India. I'd like to test and provide feedback.

"We will send you an Amazon gift card to soothe things a bit." Now that goes to show how serious you're in solving this saga. This is comedy gold according to my dictionary.
Got this reply from Google when asked over chat "Yes, you wouldn't see any ads that come with the video if you're subscribed to YouTube Red and watching it on a Apple TV."

Quirky filing for bankruptcy and Kickstarter switching gears to a Benefit Corporation on the same day. Interesting times.

This is actually a good reason to use the native iOS push notification, instead of such thin content to grab eyeballs. The former is well targeted and less spammy IMO.
I switch between Product Hunt, Medium, Designer News, Design Milk, Swiss Miss, Dribbble, Wired, Techcrunch, NYT, The Verge and Kickstarter to name a few.
Here's Todd Park's (White House Technology Advisor) talk during the recently concluded Twilio Signal devcon. He's then followed by the co-founder of Twilio, newest avenger in the USDS team https://youtu.be/4QXZl4cFw24?t=50m33s

I've a problem with this ad-ridden source, for such a significant news. Can someone change it?
The Kickstarter bubble is finally starting to burst, for better or worse. That’s a bit troubling for the creative and tech community. Bad press due to these failures/ scams is a scary thing. I had personally written to KS about another scam that unfolded right in front of eyes, but they didn't respond. I even pinged the founders on Twitter but they didn't care a bit. So much for trusting this system.

If this Guardian video is any hint, this drone needs to be worked on to make it perform like advertised https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td5fZhGNz9M
Nice gesture!
While they're at it, there's this new wave of services with no interface. They believe in the mantra "The Best Interface is No Interface" eg: Operator, Magic etc. Interesting times!
