Vancouver is one of the cities where the incumbent taxi lobby won concessions to allow ride hailing, one of those being they all have to charge the same base rate. While some companies like Uber have checkered growth history, ride hailing i

Curious what the justification is for 0.9375% (very precise number), given the report 0.3% interchange fee cap in EU noted in this thread? The vendor can charge you more than it costs them to accept the card?

A key point around Rancher Desktop's k8s (actually k3s) support that stands out is that it allows you to use any k3s version and swap between them. This is great for those that want to test their workloads on different k8s versions rig
