According to CNN, roughly 700,000 people have installed Rednote—though that figure only represents those who have tested the app and doesn’t necessarily reflect sustained usage. By comparison, TikTok is said to have around 110 million users

Why is "The Chinese Communist Part is more dangerous than Meta sharholders" such a hard thing to grasp?

They have been wondering about that for many years quite explicitly.

This is very misleading "news" and it doesn't illustrate anything, a bunch of users installed rednote out of protest, but this is a fully chinese app with 100% chinese content and 99% of users will move to youtube, instagram,

The first iphone indeed had rather poor battery performance, epsecially at that steep price of 500$..

This is a rather poor reading of the presentation, which seems very serious about the threat and the need to adopt similar changes, as well as trying to keep the iphone at bay by offering similar features at a lower price.

My understanding is that the microsoft partnership was more like a late last ditch effort. The market was changing to one where hardware was produced in asia and phones are loaded with ecosystem-centric software from Google or Apple (the re

They actually managed to act on most of the problems identified here but missed the move to software-based ecosystem-centric market started by the app store launched the next year.

Why would I write "reviewed" when I mean "merged"? I meant reviewed.

Well, $500 in 2007 is $756 in 2025, not exactly a "budget phone" price.

If I see another one of these insane "explainations", I'm gonna have a stroke. Nokia - dominating the mobile phone market for years - is evidence that Europeans are just fundamentally incapable of innovation! Ok bro.

In my current job I did a PR in the first week of joining. It was reviewed after exactly 2 years. I had to rewrite the whole PR because of the affected lines had changed. Of course I did not remember at all what is was about. Some PRs are f

The idea that the US only cares about Taiwan because of chips is popular on HN but just dead wrong. Taiwan has been part of the China containment strategy before TSMC was founded.

That's already the case. This is why most drug companies are quite large. And investors spread their investments. Competing as a small startup is extremely hard compared in this field compared to for example software. Unless you'r

Unfortunately not, It follows that we set the length of drug patents at a high enough level that, on average, drug companies can continue their work of inventing drugs. In other words, they will sometimes make a unseemly profit on a monopol

Restaurants fail very differently from drug trials. They run at some % loss for a while until money or investor patience runs out. A drug trial that fails can be a 10 year process of shoveling money in a pit, none of it to be ever seen agai

I think we will be okay without this kind of company, given employment rate is one of the highest in the world and a main problem at the moment is labor shortages... But thanks for your "concern"

Sounds like your identity was your company and now it has been shattered. Losing your identity is very scary. However, with time, you will develop a new identity. You will discover new joys and goals. Try not to panic, the way you feel now
