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 it's a bad advice. If you only wait for investors to find you, you don't run competitive process, don't have enough options and you give up your shares at too low price.

Funnily enough, top comments say it works only for people with one account :)

We use chip&pin in europe. It looks like Apple card supports it and you'll be fine

Not soon. Business model in Europe is much less interesting, since EU capped interchange fees

The problem is credit card business in US is a)much more profitable due to significantly higher interchange fees and b)credit cards adoption is much higher.

He is, he played off-race, that's why they invited MaNa to allow AI play against very strong protoss

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 will be the new meta, and everyone will play this way

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

I thought so too. Then i joined Google, where it’s mandatory. After some time I learned to see the value. Ever since i left Google i tried to have them, but managers dont seem to buy into this idea, and i miss it dearly

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 price per seat is the same)
