No, usually investors stock is preferred with 1x liquidation preference. This means they get their money back, then the rest is split among other shareholders

I think this was one of the most interesting aspects of seeing AlphaStar play. MaNa already started to use oversaturation when he played live game against the AI. I'd bet soon this…

Actually, it's not entirely true. A few years back EU cut the interchange fees dramatically (to 0.3% on credit cards, 0.2% debit) but all the savings were pocketed by merchants

Actually, it's merchants. EU drastically capped interchange fees a few years ago. The premise was that it will lower costs for merchants and effectively lower costs for consumers. …

It's usually at least 3-4x, not double. On some routes, it's even up to 10x. Also, here as a couple, you might have this just for 50% more (booking 3 seats instead of 2; assuming p…

Source code for expansions for Heroes of Might and Magic 3 was also lost [1]. It's a shame because it was one of my favourite games ever [1] https://ggtriple.wordpress.com/2014/12/…

I beg to differ here. Once you get the scale like Uber, and you don't have to spend billions on marketing, this is a very high margin business. Minimal costs to maintain infrastruc…

You can't forget the difference in scale. Lyft is only in USA, while Uber is a global company. For them to enter Europe/Asia now, would mean tremendous investment.
