This requires a high level of trust as there is a lot of financial information at stake.
Carta seems to be taking this confidential information and is potentially sharing it with other investors and soliciting investors to sell their shares.
This is a big no-no.
I still cave and end up tipping almost every time, since it's not the employees fault, but man - going to a frozen yogurt place, preparing everything myself, and having the checkout employee swing the tablet around for a tip always irks me.
I'm pretty sure that it has been the case in 99% of scenarios were consolidation always ended up in a shittier experience for the consumer and employees regardless of the promises the merging companies made.
But money talks at the end of the day.
No Man's Sky already did the "trillions of planets" thing, and with that game you could seamlessly go from planet to planet, where in Starfield, it's all loading screens.
Seems like a paid, propped up article, to promote a mediocre game.
Am I missing something?
I think we've seen time and time again large enterprises abusing the spirit of open source for their own monetary gain, contributing nothing back, and just acting in bad faith.
The last 2-3 years though, it has been less than stellar with both super host and non-super hosts stays for a majority of the stays, so I stopped using AirBnB. I'm sure there are still a lot of hosts that have a property they treat properly, treat the guests good, and care about hospitality etc. but the general vibe I get is that a lot of superhosts are folks with a bunch of properties doing the bare minimum while charging the absolute maximum. Just personal experience in the US though.
Hotels have great amenities, really good customer support, and not too much BS.
With AirBnB it's an absolute gamble if you're going to get a good host or a wannabe slumlord. I don't think this is AirBnB's fault though, just general human greed, wanting to make easy money by providing as little value as possible.
In my experience, it does lane keeping great and going in a straight line, slowing down for traffic. But that's about it. Making turns, the overall jank is unbearable in person (it doesn't come off as bad on video, but as a driver or passenger, getting constantly tossed around is not fun), and also just the unpredictability of the system makes it unusable for anything more than a parlor trick.
You're free to have your own opinion or listen to whoever you want, but I can tell you my experience has been consistently terrible and hasn't improved by any meaningful amount over the last 18 months.
A road trip is an outlier for me. I go on maybe 1-3/yr. The other 360 days, my driving is local, and with home charging I never worry about filling up.
EVs are perfect if you road trip once or twice a year. If you’re road tripping every weekend then they may not be a good solution for you.
With AWS you get charged on consumption only. If you consume 10GB of bandwidth, you get charged $0.20. With ISP's you pay $80-120 upfront for 1TB whether you use 10gb or 500gb, and then an extra $50 for unlimited on top of that. Why offer 1Gbps service, if your customers are not supposed to use it and would max out the data cap within a day of actually making use of the 1Gbps service?
My parents live 5 minutes away in a slightly older community that only has 1 high speed provider, and another provider that maxes out at 15Mbps. They have a data cap of 1TB/month, despite the ISP offering 1Gbps service. They then offer Unlimited Data for an extra $50/month.
Consuming 1TB/month is pretty easy to do if you do any gaming/streaming. Most games these days easily consume 50-100GB to download and install.
I wonder how long until you have to call someone or mail in a 1,000 word letter on why you don't need Prime to cancel it.
