Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

    Maybe you have more hotels in your country. Last AirBnB I stayed in was a little house in a small surf town and I don’t think there were any hotels with decent facilities for miles. Was a 5 minute walk down to the beach for a morning surf. Hard to beat.

      I suppose that’s a fair point if you’re talking about Costa Rica or somewhere like that. The Hilton chains like Embassy Suites certainly aren’t as common there as in the US.
