Matthew Busch for The New York Times By Edgar Sandoval, David Montgomery and Manny Fernandez June 1, 2021 AUSTIN, Texas - It was a literal exit strategy: Texas Democrats staged a last-minute walkout on Sunday to kill an elections bill that would have restricted statewide voting. The quorum-breaking move - a decades-old maneuver favored by Democratic lawmakers - worked, in dramatic fashion. But by Tuesday, the reality of their short-lived triumph had settled in. The bill was very much still alive, with the Republican governor vowing to call lawmakers back to Austin for a special session to revive and pass the measure. It was a top legislative priority for the Republican Party, and would have been the final achievement in the ultraconservative session that concluded on Monday. On Tuesday, Democrats staggered out of the session that included passage of a number of other aggressive measures, .

For each tactic, discuss if that tactic is easy or difficult for other firms to copy. 2. Write an essay identifying Facebook’s top two strategies for capturing value over a long period of time. The essay should be typed on a single page (double spaced, at least 1 inch margins, and 12 point type). Since this is an essay, write in sentences and paragraphs. Do not use bullet lists or outlines. DO NOT WRITE MORE THAT ONE PAGE. Facebook: Imperial ambitions Mark Zuckerberg prepares to fight for dominance of the next era of computing Print edition | Leaders Apr 9th 2016 NOT since the era of imperial Rome has the “thumbs-up” sign been such a potent and public symbol of power. A mere 12 years after it was founded, Facebook is a great empire with a vast population, immense wealth, a charismatic leader, and mind-boggling reach and influence. The world’s largest social network has 1.6 billion users, a billion of whom use it every day for an average of over 20 minutes each. In the Western world, Facebook accounts for the largest share of the most popular activity (social networking) on the most widely used computing devices (smartphones); its various apps account for 30% of mobile internet use by Americans. And it is the sixth-most-valuable public company on Earth, worth some $325 billion. Even so, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s 31-year-old founder and chief executive, has even greater ambitions (see article). He has plans to connect the digitally unconnected in poor countries by beaming internet signals from solar-powered drones, and is making big bets on artificial intelligence (AI), “chatbots” and virtual reality (VR). This bid for dominance will bring him into increasing conflict with the other great empires of the technology world, and Google in particular. The ensuing battle will shape the digital future for everyone. Empires built on data Facebook has prospered by building compelling services that attract large audiences, whose attention can then be sold to advertisers. The same is true of Google. The two play different roles in their users’ lives: Google has masses of data about the world, whereas Facebook knows about you and your friends; you go to Google to get things done, but turn to Facebook when you have time to kill. Yet their positions of dominance and their strategies are becoming remarkably similar. Unparalleled troves of data make both firms difficult to challenge and immensely profitable, giving them the wealth to make bold bets and to deal with potential competitors by buying them. And both firms crave more users and more data—which, for all the do-gooding rhetoric, explains why they are both so interested in extending internet access in the developing world, using drones or, in Google’s case, giant balloons. The task is to harness data to offer new ser.
