Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Platy's read, .
The “single” in “single-page app” refers to the fact that the user’s browser almost never has to fully reload the page as the user clicks around our site. Instead, when the browser makes its first HTTP request to our servers, we send it back a basic, skeleton HTML page and a big pile of JavaScript code. This JavaScript code executes inside the browser, and updates the view of the page in response to the user’s actions. When the JavaScript wants to send or retrieve data from Steveslist, it sends an Asynchronous JavaScript XML Request (almost always called AJAX for short) in the background to a URL. When our server responds, the JavaScript uses the response to update the browser view accordingly.

Nasdaq has required listed companies to maintain a $1 share price since the 1990s, though it suspended the rule during market crashes in 2001, 2008 and 2020. The NYSE has a similar minimum-price rule on its flagship exchange. But the Big Board has far fewer companies trading below $1, because Nasdaq attracts the majority of companies with small market caps, which are more likely to fall below the threshold.
Hundreds of Stocks Have Fallen Below $1. They’re Still Listed on Nasdaq.
