 smartwatches, it’s Apple against the world. Per recent numbers from CounterPoint, the Apple Watch commanded more than one-third of global shipments in Q1. Samsung/Tizen’s own market share is a distant — but respectable — second place, with 8%. With Google’s Wear OS at fifth place at just under 4%, it’s easy to see both companies — utterly dominant in other categories — are itching for competitive advantages. For Google, the answer is two-fold. First, the Fitbit acquisition effectively doubles its existing market. Convincing Samsung to return to Wear OS after a long time in the Tizen woods. For Samsung, a return to the Google operating system made sense from the standpoint of developer access — and the resulting apps. And hey, if it means Google gets to deal with the underlying support issues, that’s all the better. http://ttl.co-re.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=116160 https://www.forumdime.com/Thread-%E2%80%9C%D0%A1%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8B-7-%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%BD%E2%80%9D-%D1%8

 The Pareto principle, also known as the 80-20 rule, asserts that 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes, rendering the remainder way less impactful. Those working with data may have heard a different rendition of the 80-20 rule: A data scientist spends 80% of their time at work cleaning up messy data as opposed to doing actual analysis or generating insights. Imagine a 30-minute drive expanded to two-and-a-half hours by traffic jams, and you’ll get the picture. http://sydneychinesetennis.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69851 https://www.eroticillusions.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=357879 http://aena.at/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11860 http://www.magrace.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1520271 http://www.s-server.vip/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=76727 http://www.varshavskoe1.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=31837 https://www.poslouchej.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4075 http://forum.creative-destruction.com/forum.php?extra=%20&mod=viewthread&tid=103531 http://www.flyingfish.nl/foru

 Choosing an insurance policy is one of the most complicated financial decisions a person can make. Jakarta-based Lifepal wants to simplify the process for Indonesians with a marketplace that lets users compare policies from more than 50 providers, get help from licensed agents and file claims. The startup, which says it is the country’s largest direct-to-consumer insurance marketplace, announced today it has raised a $9 million Series A. The round was led by ProBatus Capital, a venture firm backed by Prudential Financial, with participation from Cathay Innovation and returning investors Insignia Venture Partners, ATM Capital and Hustle Fund. Lifepal was founded in 2019 by former Lazada executives Giacomo Ficari and Nicolo Robba, along with Benny Fajarai and Reza Muhammed. The new funding brings its total raised to $12 million. http://ocrc.x10host.com/showthread.php?tid=251914 https://ringsidereport.com/forumz/showthread.php?tid=10569 http://theauctionboard.com/showthread.php?tid=81714

Disney’s streaming service is seeing improved growth, after initially seeing slower numbers of subscriber additions in Q2 as COVID lockdowns and mask mandates came to an end. Today, Disney+ beat analyst expectations for subscriber growth in Disney’s blowout third quarter, reaching 116 million paid subscribers — above the 114.5 million Wall Street had expected — and up over 100% year-over-year. Disney also topped expectations across the board, with $17.02 billion in revenue versus the $16.76 billion expected, and earnings per share of 80 cents, above analysts’ expectations of 55 cents. Even Disney Parks were back in business.  https://therockandduckshow.net/showthread.php?tid=11414 http://wastedwarlocks.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=23209 http://aandp.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=1223841 http://plainnuts.com/showthread.php?tid=84496 https://ringsidereport.com/forumz/showthread.php?tid=21060 https://amantespastoraleman.com/foro/showthread.php?tid=7158 https://www.forumdime.com/Thread-Goo

 Food delivery apps offer convenience for customers, but a host of headaches for restaurants, like commissions as high as 40% and very few tools to build customer loyalty. Based in Singapore, Tablevibe wants to help restaurants reduce their reliance on third-party delivery apps and help them get more direct orders and returning customers. The startup is part of Y Combinator’s current batch, which will hold its Demo Day at the end of this month. Tablevibe’s founding team includes two former Googlers: Jeroen Rutten, formerly head of Google Search’s product strategy in APAC and Sneep, who was responsible for its app development go-to-market strategy and led large sales teams. They are joined by Guido Caldara, a lead teacher at coding bootcamp Le Wagon and Tablevibe’s chief technology officer. http://aandp.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=1218506 https://beta.cqpolska.pl/showthread.php?tid=29355&pid=165559 https://www.acdvevents.it/forum/thread-67302.html http://plainnuts.com/showthread.ph
