There are a lot of weird laws just sitting and we don't do much about them because they don't really matter.

Like the famous "you can't buy a duck on Sunday" or some weird shit.

People, in general, take being critical as someone who hates a thing or is against them. It seems to be a worldly phenomenon not related to any specific country. It's just Reddit it's much easier to see it in action.

You can read a chart many ways but what you're communicating may not be relevant to the discussion.

It depends on what you're planning on applying that information with. If you're looking to invest money - then the article's point of view is considerably more important than who is, overall, at the time.

If you bothered to read the article you'd see your point was mentioned:

> Samsung defended its first place in the market despite an 8% decline

However if the context is iOS versus Android then it's very clear Android is absolutely wrecking iOS. In this case there are many things one can infer from this. So, for example, is you were writing software and wanted to reach as many people as possible - Android is a very clear winner.

However if IAP's and income are your point then it's more likely iOS is your preferred path due to more frivolous spending (not indicated in the chart or app).

However, unrelated to much else, this line should be telling:

> The popularity of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, in particular, will contribute to a higher ASP and stable revenue for Apple.

I view this as a knock on Apple implying the iPhone 14 was a dud. Personally, and I have nothing to back this up, I suspect the normal folks are waiting for USB-C next year to upgrade as well as the fact that the iPhone 14 isn't a large upgrade over even the 11. I think that's what held back the regular version. The Pro's and up usually have significantly more expendable income.

But it seems most people all over only care about "winning" or "the other guy losing". It's quite disheartening to see such communities so insecure.

I've been developing a crazy idea (not as in crazy good just... not well thought out crazy and a bit out there). When things like this occur - the people involved serve 1 day / 24 hours in jail. Not enough to cost them much, not enough to actively do much of anything. Hear me out though.

Failure to disclose things while attempting to make a significant impact on law's being made? 24 hours in jail.

Company broke the laws and normally would "just" get a fine? 24 hours in jail. Fines slightly reduced.

The goal here is the C-levels of companies that pull in more than 1 million profit (not income, profit) need to suffer a small bit. If it's an honest mistake 24 hours isn't going to hurt anyone or anything at that level. However.. if it's recurring... they'll spend more than a handful of days in jail every year. On public record.

You see my thoughts are: I want a person to be held accountable. I want the punishment to be insignificant enough that a few mistakes aren't life shattering in any meaningful way but recurring problems becoming highly inconvenient. If the CEO spends 1/5 of their year in jail.. all of a sudden they can't 'run' the company properly.

Oh c-levels don't live in that country? Ok. Company, and anything other company that company owns, is shut down in that country for 24 hours if they fail to comply with 24 hours in jail. 24 hours will suck but it won't destroy companies of that size.

If it's been decided that they specifically timed this so their 24 hours is at a 'better' time, then they spend 48 hours for manipulation and intent. Enough to lose a weekend.

If it's a Congress Critter then they lose all privileges and luxuriates afforded to them during that time. Meaning if they get sick, they get the same treatment your average person does in jail gets. Special treatment or perceived special treatment means those officers spends 24 hours.

Again, the point is to be inconvenience but recurring abuses would inherently turn that to more than inconvenience - which would, in turn, be costly to the company and its reputation.

If, collectively, they've served 1 year (365 days) - they are now a felon. Really more of a formality to make a point to discourage recurring abuses and to carry across them company hopping and golden parachutes.

I'm sure 10,000 people will point out why this idea is shit though.. this is one of those ideas I had on the shitter, so very poorly thought out.

> he broke his leg from a fall not from being old,

I hate to ahem break it to you.. (hah) but as you get older things like this happen more and more often.

Tony is 54 years old. The body just can't handle what it did in its 20's.

That being said 20 ft is no joke to fall on, regardless of age. But his age certainly hurt him.

Although I will say the person you were responding to does seem bitter and dramatic and all I'm talking about is how age absolutely is not in his favor.

ASK ME HOW I KNOW

edit: Wow, apparently people think mid 50's is just as healthy as in your 20's. Oh boy.

edit 2: Oh wow, y'all really do think 50 is the new 20 sincerely and deeply. O_O
