Airbnb is great until you get a bad experience. For hotels, there is a floor for bad experiences - it can only get so bad, and the customer service is usually decent. I used airbnb until I had a single terrible experience and worse customer service that did not help me because I had no proof of the incident. Been using hotels ever since.
My fiancee has been looking for a mobile drawing computer. The only thing I could recommend until now was the Surface Book since Apple doesn't make anything mobile that could run the full Adobe suite. If you can sketch with the iPad Photoshop and there is sidecar support for Illustrator and the other apps, it might be a good deal.
Quantum just means something that can be counted or measured, usually in discrete amounts like whole number. Assuming the audits and entries are discrete and transactional, the word makes sense. But yeah, it just looks like they are trying to go for marketing buzzwords.
Oh I must be thinking about Target self checkouts specifically. They have a nice ringtone when you use it compared to the normal beep from the cashier.
Unfortunately I don't foresee it being recognized or fought against. Especially in high turnover work forces such as ride sharing and "part time" low-income jobs. The gamification may engage the employees for just enough time to provide more profit than the turnover would cost.
Decent read as the manipulative uses of game design are often overlooked. Think about how "fun" it feels to scan your own items at the checkout and hear those nice tones. Uber and Lyft drivers have Pavlovian response when they hear a new ride beacon ready to accept.
This is a market cash grab that preys on peoples' ignorance and fears. Fancy looking hardware for an excessive cost that isn't stand-alone. For e-mail. Really?
