Java is owned by Oracle. The license of the Java Language Specification appears to prohibit distributing an incomplete implementation from scratch of the Java platform, whether called Java or called something else. This means it's a breach (and therefore a copyright infringement) for a group of hobbyists to reimplement the Java platform in a public repository. Instead, a reimplementation of the Java platform must be performed behind closed doors, distributed to the public only once it becomes a "Compliant Implementation".
ECMAScript is an Ecma standard, and HTML, CSS, and the HTML DOM are W3C Recommendations. Unlike Java, JavaScript (the combination of ECMAScript with the HTML DOM) allows making a partial implementation public.
In what way do the advantages of Java over JavaScript outweigh the disadvantage of ownership by One Rich American Called Larry Ellison?
The neat thing about these smartphones is that the entire screen is an input--a high resolution grid. With such, we can partition a fraction of the screen (popularly 30-50% for how small the devices are) for virtual QWERTY or AZERTY (or whatever your preferred layout is) keyboards.
The not-so-neat thing is a complete lack of tactile cues for the user to align his thumbs over the keys.
I'm not entirely sure kids need their own phones, smart or otherwise.
It used to be standard procedure for a child who needs to be picked up to carry change for making a call from a pay phone. But with mobile phones becoming more common, pay phone owners have been retiring phones as they break instead of repairing or replacing them.
"Computer give me all references of Darmok" "Computer give me all references of Tenargra"
"Alexa, open nearby planets' history and find 'Darmok' or 'Tanagra', preferably together." The computer might translate this into a full-text search query represented as follows, with Boost commands tweaking relevance ordering:
In articles about mythology or history of planets in this system Find 'Darmok' OR 'Tanagra' Boost 'Darmok' AND 'Tanagra' Boost 'Darmok' NEAR 'Tanagra' Boost spatial tags close to this location
An office full of people using speech recognition won't get anything done.
There's a term for an office full of people who speak into a microphone for a living: a call center. They use the speech recognition means in the brain of each customer who calls.
I don't see how it's pompous to point out that rural farmers in less-developed countries are much less likely to be functionally literate than rural farmers in the U.S. state of Arkansas. I'm under the impression that the urban/rural divide in literacy is more pronounced in less-developed countries than in industralized countries such as the UnitedStates.
If a group that has no money is the product, to whom is the group being sold? It can't be to advertisers, as a group that has no money cannot afford the luxury items that the advertisers are promoting.
Good luck finding a video on YouTube of any complexity whose automatic captions are correct. And good luck finding a site that lets you view the automatic captions alone instead of viewing the video.
If, as you claim, the premise "Web browsers provide the one device independent platform we have" is wrong, then what's the other "device independent platform"?
So how do we go back in time and convince Mike and Matt Chapman to use a product other than Flash to make Homestar Runner?
Or how do we track down the author of every SWF vector animation and every SWF game on Newgrounds, Dagobah, Albino Blacksheep, and Kongregate, have the author dig up the original FLA, and provide a one-month rental of Adobe Animate CC so that the author can reexport everything to HTML5?
And the only instances I can think of where things were "broken" in Firefox wasn't so much that they were broken as that the layout wasn't quite right due to slight differences in CSS.
Counterexample: Custom emoji uploading in Discordapp.com (a without-charge replacement for Slack) works in Chrome but not Firefox. A user with "Manage Emojis" privileges on a server can rename or delete emojis using Chrome or Firefox, but uploading new ones works only in Chrome. Clicking the "Upload Emoji" button in Firefox just makes the button go in and out; it doesn't display a file chooser as expected. I found it surprising because avatar uploading and photo attachment uploading work fine.
Good luck getting all the major proprietary operating system publishers to agree on such a "separate standard" to be implemented by said "separate viewers" included with the operating system.
I agree that it's not your job to back up AnthonywC's claim that those four domains publish fake news. It's the job of AnthonywC because he made that claim.
In your estimation, how old would a child have to be for a parent to consider buying a smartphone for the child instead of a simple phone on a cheap plan intended primarily to arrange a ride home?
Though competitors' devices can play music purchased from iTunes Store since DRM was dropped in 2009, virtually no non-Apple device can play videos purchased from iTunes Store. Videos still use FairPlay digital restrictions management, which is compatible only with Apple devices and x86-64 Windows PCs running the iTunes application. And the only remotely pocket-sized x86-64 Windows PC that I'm aware of is the 5.5" GPD Win laptop.
Most people have upgraded from flip phones already
Including children whose parents are willing to pay for a phone and a pittance of minutes and texts for the child to use to arrange a ride home but not for a huge data plan? After smartphones became common among adults, children remained a big user base for dedicated media player appliances (such as the iPod shuffle and iPod nano) and small Wi-Fi-only tablets (such as the iPod touch).
and internal storage up to 128 GB is available.
At a substantial upcharge.
A quality smartphone is the best portable music player ever made.
I agree, if money is no object. But I was under the impression that money was still an object, particularly for cash-strapped parents. "You can have a smartphone when you're old enough to have a job to pay for it, and in this state, that's 16."
I, like many people, bring a phone around with me anyway.
But then you have to 1. upgrade from a flip phone to one that plays music, and 2. be careful to buy one with a microSD slot or risk having to cram all your music into the same 8 GB that already holds the OS, apps, and apps' data.
If you choose to lock yourself into the Apple ecosystem
Before Amazon Music went live, there wasn't really much choice: it was either iTunes Music Store, buy and rip CDs, or break the law. And back then, even music purchases had FairPlay digital restrictions management.
Harrison was found guilty of Infringement, even if not intentional, because he insisted that "My Sweet Lord" was an original work. In this case, Harrison was really guilty of not paying Due Diligence. He was lazy.
What are sufficient steps to avoid accidental infringements like this?
There are not swaths of land where everyone living there has a satellite or 4G hookup that they use to sit around browsing the 'net like normal people.
One of my friends on a chat server lives on a mountain. He and his neighbors all use satellite Internet. But if you have data better than my anecdata, I'd be interested in reading it.

What people who are deaf? What about people who are unable to speak?
They'd key in their social insurance number and receive a reasonable number of non-video views. It'd be a need-tested exception to the general rule of providing video articles and video ads, in the same way that there's a copyright exception in the United States for books on devices made available only to legally blind people.

I admit I phrased that wrong. What's the processor architecture- and operating system-independent application platform?
Flash as a video-making tool is not a problem. Export your video to H.264 or whatever.
Which means one-tenth the runtime in the same file size.
