U.S. 2024 presidential election polling Trump vs. Harris 2024

Nov 4, 2024 | Elections

On July 21, Biden announced he was ending his bid for reelection, later endorsing Kamala Harris, who is the official Democratic nominee as of the Democratic National Convention in August. Although approval of Harris was once generally low, favorability of the vice president has spiked since announcing her presidential bid. 

Although the race is certainly closer since Harris began her campaign, polling has fluctuated, with support for Trump increasing just days before the election. National polling indicated that the two presidential hopefuls were 0.1 percentage points apart on November 3, 2024, making it nearly impossible to predict the results. 

While presidential polls are generally reliable in measuring national trends, they are not infallible, particularly in close races or predictions of Electoral College outcomes.

Market value of the largest internet companies worldwide 2024

Oct 21, 2024 | Internet

As of October 2024, Alphabet was the biggest internet company worldwide with a market cap of over two trillion U.S. dollars Second-ranked Amazon had a market capitalization of 1.97 trillion U.S. dollars. 

The end of the 1990s in the United States saw the rise of a great number of internet companies, also called online companies or a variety of the name “dot com,” where the “.com” domain is derived from the word commercial. At the time, such startups were merely riding the wave of early internet business, but had little capital and perhaps one good idea. Few companies have survived the burst of the dot com bubble and even fewer have managed to become internationally successful. A few notable exceptions are American companies such as Google (founded in 1998), Amazon (founded in 1994) or eBay Inc. (founded in 1995), and the Chinese online giant Alibaba (founded in 1998), which have come to be some of the largest internet companies in the world.

Topping the ranking of largest internet companies worldwide is currently Alphabet, the parent company of Google, with a market capitalization of 2 trillion U.S. dollars as of October 2024. Having started as a PhD project at Stanford University, the Google project slowly gained traction and is now the number one search engine in the world, with a market share of 86 percent on the search engine market. Due to a number of high profile acquisitions, Google has expanded its portfolio beyond search, to include the video content sharing site YouTube, the digital app platform Google Play Store, the webmail service Gmail and the web browser Google Chrome, to only name a few. As of May 2024, it is also the most visited multi-platform website in the United States, with almost 274 million U.S. unique visitors during that month alone. In October 2015, Google reorganized itself into a newly created parent company, the multinational conglomerate Alphabet Inc.

The biggest internet companies in terms of their workforce are currently Amazon, Alphabet and Meta.

Spotify: most streamed daily tracks worldwide 2024

Oct 24, 2024 | Music

On October 22, 2024, 'APT.' by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars was the most-streamed track on Spotify with 14.6 million streams worldwide, followed by 'Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, reaching over 11 million Spotify streams on Spotify that day. Billie Eilish's 'BIRDS OF A FEATHER'  came third with just over 7.6 million streams. 

How do music artists get so many streams on Spotify?

Firstly, Spotify is one of the most successful and popular music streaming services in the United States, and as of the first half of 2018 had the biggest share of music streaming subscribers in the world. With Spotify’s vast audience, featuring on the platform is a good start for emerging and popular artists hoping to make an impact.

Secondly, there is no exact science to ‘going viral’. From the famous egg photo on Instagram posted in early 2019 to wildly successful music video ‘Gangnam Style’ released back in 2012, viral content comes in all shapes and sizes. Purposeful viral marketing is one way in which something could go viral, and is one of the reasons why some songs have so many streams in a short space of time. This type of marketing involves a tactical approach and pre-planning in an attempt to push the content into the public eye and encourage it to spread as quickly as possible.

However, many artists who go viral do not expect to. Accessible, catchy content created by an already popular artist is already poised to do well, i.e. the latest song or album from U.S. singer Drake. This is an example of incidental viral marketing, when content spreads by itself partially as a result of an established and engaged audience. Indeed, Spotify’s most-streamed tracks generally originate from a well-known figure with a large following. But for smaller or entirely unknown content creators, going viral or experiencing their 15 minutes of fame can simply be a case of posting the right thing at the right time.

Presidential election first-round results in Moldova 2024

Nov 4, 2024 | Elections

Maia Sandu, the incumbent president from the Party of Action and Solidarity, won the presidential election in Moldova in the second round held on November 3, 2024. Known for her pro-European Union (EU) stance, she gained 55.41 percent of the votes. Her main opponent, Alexandr Stoianoglo from the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova, received almost 44.6 percent of the votes. The turnout exceeded 54 percent.

Sandu also received the largest share of votes in the first round held on October 20, 2024, at roughly 42 percent. However, as the figure was below 50 percent, a second round took place. As Moldova navigates its path toward EU integration, the outcome plays a crucial role in shaping the country's direction. Moreover, the country faces a continuous population decrease, which is forecast at over eight percent between 2024 and 2029.

Moldova's EU aspirations

On the same day as the presidential election, Moldovan citizens voted in a referendum to amend the constitution and include a commitment to EU membership. According to the final results, 50.38 percent favored the amendment, reflecting the country's desire for closer ties with Europe, but also highlighting how narrow the difference between the in-favor and against votes is.

Voter turnout and historical context

The 2024 election saw a notable increase in voter participation, with turnout exceeding 51 percent in the first round. This marks a higher level of engagement compared to the first rounds of the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. The election builds on the momentum of the 2020 race, where Maia Sandu emerged victorious in the second round with 58 percent of the vote, defeating Igor Dodon.

Gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate in China 2013-2029

Oct 22, 2024 | Economy

In 2023, the growth of real gross domestic product (GDP) in China amounted to 5.2 percent. For 2024, the IMF expects a GDP growth rate of around 4.8 percent. 

Real GDP growth

The current gross domestic product is an important indicator of the economic strength of a country. It refers to the total market value of all goods and services that are produced within a country per year. When analyzing year-on-year changes, the current GDP is adjusted for inflation, thus making it constant. Real GDP growth is regarded as a key indicator for economic growth as it incorporates constant GDP figures. As of 2023, China was among the leading countries with the largest gross domestic product worldwide, second only to the United States which had a GDP volume of almost 27.5 trillion U.S. dollars. The Chinese GDP has shown remarkable growth over the past years. Upon closer examination of the distribution of GDP across economic sectors, a gradual shift from an economy heavily based on industrial production towards an economy focused on services becomes visible, with the service industry outpacing the manufacturing sector in terms of GDP contribution.

Key indicator balance of trade

Another important indicator for economic assessment is the balance of trade, which measures the relationship between imports and exports of a nation. As an economy heavily reliant on manufacturing and industrial production, China has reached a trade surplus over the last decade, with a total trade balance of around 823 billion U.S. dollars in 2023.
