> Java via applets.
> Flash via plugins.
Both no longer supported, and neither could manipulate HTML or CSS (without JS), nor could they do anything outside their sandbox/UI.
> Sure - but to say it was "pushed by the industry" seems wrong when it's simple the industry following what was already there because it was simpler - and popular.
Well, since I didnâ(TM)t say it was âoepushed by the industryâ, no wonder it seems wrong.
The browser industry creates/supports the languages and libraries that can manipulate HTML and CSS. JS wasnâ(TM)t âoealready thereâ anymore than CSS was âoealready thereâ before it was introduced.
The browser industry has had no interest in creating an alternative (except wasm) for the (sorry excuse for a) language that is JS.
> You say JavaScript has an Industry-Given monopoly - but isn't it just as true that the reason the industry is all using it, Is because of massive developer use and demand?
Name an alternative language that has been available in the majority of browsers within the last 10 years...
There is no question of the chicken or the egg: it was added to Netscape in the 1990s and has been the de-facto ever since (aside from vbscript, which was IE only). If youâ(TM)re a web developer, what languages do you have available? Like I said, an industry monopoly.
The closest thing that might break that monopoly is web assembly...
> A language that's as widely used as JavaScript, and that's only 16th on the list of most dreaded languages, is certainly doing something right.
Or has a industry-given monopoly.
> Or you can try ramming it down people's throats.
Like Google does on their home page when you use a non-Chrome browser?
When it worked well, Beede and her colleagues saw how the AI made people who were good at their jobs even better. âoeThere was one nurse that screened 1,000 patients on her own, and with this tool sheâ(TM)s unstoppable,â she says.
And after nearly 2 years of daily discharge/overnight charge on my iPhone X, Iâ(TM)m at 91% of capacity.
The number one battery killer is the trickle charge when full. Absolutely killed my Lenovo laptop battery after two years (continually on AC). Got a new one and set it to stop charging at 100%, and it lasted 5+ years.
Yet without it, the office space is classed Grade Z (except the first floor).
Obviously that doesn't work, the power company would go broke and no-one would have power, except while it's sunny.
So why don't they fix their broken model and charge a fixed fee for everyone that is connected to the grid. Oh wait, they already do that (albeit a nominal fee).
The "fair" solution is to set a fixed fee so that their grid-maintenance costs are covered. Then they can reduce their tariffs to reflect the true price of generating (not delivering) the electricity.
So, in other words, make an electric car that has all the convenience of a gasoline car at the same price. Genius.
The title should say "Half of In-App Revenue
PBS has a great documentary about its design and construction. You can even watch it online for free. (Cookies probably required.)
The courts ruled that if the business has a "significant business nexus" within the purchaser's State (usually meaning a "physical presence" link a branch store or warehouse)
And by using affiliates as a sales force, a "significant business nexus" is established in the purchaser's State. Hence, they have to collect sales tax for the purchaser's State, because they pay a sales force there.
Don't be surprised if, over the next year, Apple makes them start including the number of episodes or the length of the season for these passes. They don't get burned twice.
I'd say Apple's days are numbered, although they're going to remain a dominant presence in the market for a very long time.
So, you're going to give them a really large number then?
I'm not seeing anything of significance from Apple; nothing like the compelling experiments Google or Microsoft keep putting forward.
Just because they don't sell their R&D experiments to developers doesn't mean they don't have any.
but so far I'm not seeing it.
Because you don't work in Apple's R&D perhaps?
