The IPO window may have cracked open, but it seems some former startups have no intention of going public. Makes sense, in a way: IPOs were traditionally a way to raise money, and if you can manage to raise ungodly amounts without having to put your company through public scrutiny, why do it? Databricks is proving that point: the data intelligence company has just raised more than $4 billion in a Series L funding round at a $134 billion valuation — up 34% from the $100 billion valuation that it achieved just three months ago. This is Databricks’ third major…

Cashmere comes from the fine undercoat of a handful of goat breeds. Typically, one goat will be sheared twice a year, producing just four to six ounces (113 to 170 grams) of cashmere annually. That’s not a lot of supply for a growing market. “The producers of raw materials are actually under a lot of…

An upcoming Steam game, one with a demo available now, takes the iconic visuals of Minecraft and combines them with the extraction gameplay seen (and loved) in ARC Raiders. However, instead of forcing players into a PvEvP environment, this new title (Dwarf Delve) lets players enjoy the PvE extraction experience some want out of ARC Raiders. Dwarf Delve, as is only available on Steam, has a lot going for it with “first-person extraction roguelike adventure” being its official description. Players will “venture deep into treacherous mines in search of precious ores and hidden treasures as you explore what lies in…

While the policy itself has not changed, the Commission has set out how it expects operators to interpret and apply the requirements across betting,…

However, there are also an increasing number of games that grant you the possibility to experience the complete opposite end of that, sometimes to a staggering degree.
