  • TLDR: They think they'll convert a large enough portion of the premium market (in specific geographic markets) that it'll put them into the top three.

    Zielinski said most of the users for the Razr smartphone have converted from using a device that is “not Android based.”

    Part of the growth strategy revolves around the premium segment of the market, in which Apple and Samsung dominate.

    “We’re going to place as many bets as we can because we think the growth of the Indian population is fantastic, and they’re wonderful people.”



  • Two issues with this article:

    1. There is no easy option for selecting strictly necessary cookies.
    2. Rgonomics reminds me of Rogernomics, which has bad connotations (Wikipedia article)

    [Due to Rogernomics], over 15 years, New Zealand's economy and social capital faced serious problems: the proliferation of food banks increased dramatically to an estimated 365 in 1994; the number of New Zealanders estimated to be living in poverty grew by at least 35% between 1989 and 1992 while child poverty doubled from 14% in 1982 to 29% in 1994.

    Edit: Downvote if you love child poverty, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯







  • Thanks for the info, Wikipedia just needs an update.

    Since the map had already passed the state Senate on Tuesday, it is now law. (In North Carolina, the governor has no veto power over redistricting.)

    I'm not from the US so I didn't understand the importance of these comments. To clarify for others, North Carolina's Senate is currently Republican majority, and the incumbent governor is Democratic (Roy Cooper). My source is still Wikipedia.

    The map is an amended version of Proposal CCJ-1, the less aggressively gerrymandered of the two proposals unveiled by Republicans last week.

    If you're morbidly curious in seeing the other map proposed, it was CBP-5:

    Look at proposed district 3 😂, it's another district that was going to be shaped like a bow-tie.

  • now you’re fumbling

    This isn't a sport, nor a zero sum game. We're discussing something. There is no winner or loser, that's not how a conversation works.

    Consider the fact that you might not be all-knowing.

    Again, do you treat all discussions as some kind of debating game?

    There is nothing novel about your input.

    I'm considering not becoming a communist purely to avoid having to encounter characters like the one in this thread.
