airline industry has some cost-cutting to do, overall the high vacation costs have to come down for people to afford.


They have incredible pricing power at the moment. Demand > supply, people who cannot afford will be priced out. Two questions will be when will the consumer be exhausted and tapped out, and how elastic is aggregate demand between AirBnB and traditional hotel accomodations.

Margins on most fully booked flights are already sub 3% on major U.S. carriers, there's no fat left to trim unless fuel or labor get cheaper.



I wonder about this - if some areas are overvalued due to flooding, would that mean places that won't see flooding are undervalued? Could it be a wash on the macro level?




2021 counts were huge, but low on value https://www.spacinsider.com/data/stats


have you felt that way with anyone in network, friends, family, colleagues? Or hit a scenario where you are texting/messaging back-and-forth and suddenly the receiver is super confused and you are on trail on "clarifying" messages to correct what was said in first place.


Strange, LinkedIn shows staff of 500+ https://www.linkedin.com/company/krakenfx/ and the press-release mentioned "1,100 people, or 30 percent". Number do not add up.


LinkedIn is not an authoritative source lol


Kraken regularly used shell/cover companies to hire employees. They have a pretty complex web of fronts not-called-Kraken. Entire offices are 'employed' by one of these companies.


Would you be able to expand on this? Why do they do that? Sounds shady.


Interesting, why would they do this?


To avoid people being targeted because they work at a crypto exchange.


As one example: in the US, employers with more than 100 employees have to give 60 days notice of layoffs of a certain size. Outsource customer service to small, closely held subcontractors and you can avoid the requirement.


It's ridiculous that you can circumvent the rules that easily.


LinkedIn showed ~3400 for them when I checked a few days ago, so 1,100 is approximately 30%.


Kraken doesn't want their employees to mark that they work there on social media to reduce the risk of social hacking.


Maybe they have employees who are not on LinkedIn.


Did someone see your comment and change it? I see "3,400+ Krakenites" and "1,001-5,000 employees".



Why is it a work-game? Is the work/project you are on not giving extended scope for technical and/or business growth?

all of my work hours involved a lot of leaning other departments, expanding my knowledge of stakeholders and they roles, and deeper understanding of business growth and vision.


I only like the coding part, how to solve technical problems, etc. I'm not interested to learn anything about what other people are doing, unfortunately
