Again, it's about reach.

My local dive bar can serve me burgers whether it has a customer base of 1.000 or 1.000.000. A social network, however, cannot function without hundreds of millions of users. Otherwise it's an anti-social network.

As a result I can post my video to DailyMotion instead of YouTube but how am I going to build a following without engaging with Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter?

These networks require mass user engagement to be effective which precludes a myriad of competition. I don't think breaking these companies up as Elizabeth Warren suggested is the correct solution because it fundamentally handicaps their ability to function. But I think there does need to be regulation around how they do business which sadly does not exist.

They’re not mutually exclusive but the main reason that Swift is so performant is because it’s a compiled language rather than an interpreted language like JS. To support live reloading with a compiled language you would either need to support live compilation and re-deployment (difficult) or treat Swift as a scripting language (redundant).

If iOS was a goldmine when Steve Jobs died than it's a much larger one now.

When Jobs died in 2011 the iPhone represented 40% of Apple's revenue and generated $3.6 billion in App Store revenue.

In 2016, the iPhone represented 60% of Apple's revenue and the App Store generated $28 billion.

They're not challenging Google's dominance of search or projecting responsibilities on them as a service due to that monopoly.

They're simply objecting to Google using its dominance in search to gain dominance in, for instance, digital translation.

Was he?

The chat logs of the first incident seem to suggest that he took some time to come around to it but he didn't seem to find it particularly horrifying or objectionable.

I suspect it's still minified and obfuscated, in which case we're basically calling binary data open source.

Generally this is true. Apps are for situations where the user has a higher level of engagement.

Shopping is one of those things - such as Amazon or RedBubble - but Threadless is too specific for that use case. The majority of people simply do not shop for clothing online frequently enough to justify it.

I think that problem persists even with a progressive web app - it just does not warrant the real-estate on your phone. Technically the app launcher on Android makes this cheap but I think that's where apps often go to die - out of sight, out of mind.

On iOS or the sadly near-death Windows Phone, it's just eating more space than it can justify.

I don't think this is a problem of tech or cost but a problem of viable engagement.

Threadless just doesn't need a spot on anyone's phone.

If Apple supports progreasive web-apps this decade I'll eat my hat.

It does nothing for their business and cuts off their revenue streams. It's simply a bad idea for them.

I'd be curious to see what WASM means for progressive web apps on Android, however. There Google does benefit but it does weeken their platform by making competing hardware like Samsung's Tenzen or the near-death Windows Phone far more viable.

So the question becomes, is Google invested in Android specifically or simply the existence of mobile that they can profit from?

Not only do they but any company that employs interns and entry-level developers is going to see them consistently.

I don't know that I'd go that far.

It was quite good when it was released and did essentially one thing: managing your music library.

When it branched out to podcasts, movies, television shows, educational courses, app-management, mobile-in, and etc. is when quality tanked.

Perhaps I'm behind but last I checked iTunes was still encoding information such as the episode number as the "track number", reflecting it's musical roots.
