The latest addition to Xiaomi’s Youpin crowdfunding platform comes from one of its clothing sub-brands, RunMi. The brand has unveiled the 90 Points antibacterial T-shirt that is available for $10 only.
RunMi’s new 90-points T-shirt is a simple fabric made out of a seamless one-piece weaving process.

Amazon Vice President Resigns After Company Fired Whistleblowers
Tim Bray, Amazon Web Services’ senior engineer, and the vice president just quit his job on account of whistleblowers being fired for trying to bring the sub-par working environment of Amazon warehouse workers.
In his blog post, Bray wrote:
Remaining an Amazon VP would have meant, in effect, signing off on actions I despised. So, I resigned.
