  • Some developers are using TestFlight as an underground App Store

    asdasdasdasd

    "People are clamoring for access to the cooler apps still in private beta, while indie developers are using TestFlight to find an audience they'd never find in the bowels of the App Store. And there's no cooler way to show your status than to post a screenshot of your own TestFlight, chock-full of the hottest apps nobody even knows about yet."

    Or in short, private beta testing. What it is designed to do.

    Very risky for him to plainly state this in the press. China could simply seize their operations still in China.
    He has many years dealing with Chinese government. He knows Chinese government much better than you being brain washed by western propaganda  war against Chinese government. 
    To be fair, you don't have to "know the Chinese government" to see what it does in the world; and then extrapolate from that. Like how the CCP right now is attacking anything that inconveniences them in Hong Kong (especially media); and how they've kidnapped foreign citizens from other countries (Gui Minhai; Swedish citizen, kidnapped from Thailand). 光復香港，時代革命.

    Like how we gas peaceful protestors, send Gestapo troops into Democratic cities, ripping kids from their parents & sticking them in cages?  That kind of "attacking"?   Or, our CIA's secret renditions or Meng kidnapped on her way into another country?  That kind of kidnapping?   Oh wait!  Never mind.  I forgot you're a China hater.   Your leader needs to distract you from what is going on in your own country.
    You are half right. The leader is distracting people re China and the deep state re Russia. 

    That’s how they get their wars. 

    LOL... Did you get that nonsense from Q?
    No idea who Q is. As I said though the Russian interference is a fantasy. The China panic is also a fantasy. Or exaggerated. 

    US propaganda works on its citizens by creating these pseudo divisions. Dems hate Russia. Republicans hate China (and most of the Muslim world). War is the aim. 

    You got that almost right:   It's not "Dems hate Russia", but Russia who hates Dems (Because they were instrumental in Ukraine declaring its independence from Russia).   It's why Russia has undermined our last three elections to install their own shill as the head of our government.
    So you are happy to admit that the US does in fact interfere in the elections in other countries?

    Any chance you stop that?  The Russians haven't undermined any of your elections, what insane conspiratorial nonsense. The muller report wasn't actionable, the rest is a story for children.

    Just means another country will pick up some of the slack, but not the USA. Capitalism sends low skilled jobs to the cheapest place. Unless Americans are willing to see prices go up 600% manufacturing ain't coming back here unless there are massive changes to how business operates here. As long as the majority of profits are pushed into the fewest hands possible and paying living wages is seen as a weakness for a company, nothing will change.
    Actually prices wouldn’t rise 600%. Labour is just one cost and US labour isn’t 6 times higher than china. Google the average wage in Beijing. 

    capital doesn’t move across the world on a whim, even for unskilled labour cheapness isn’t everything. Political stability, supply chain, management experience, education systems, and more matter as much. Or else every company would be in Africa. When companies do go to Africa it’s often to exploit resources, but manufacturing or assembly that is free to go anywhere doesn’t go everywhere. 

    And high skilled manufacturing tends to be in high waged countries, a statement you can reverse because high wages are justified by high productivity, but high waged workers are more productive.

    If, as he says, it's all about Trump's trade war, then that will no longer be necessary once we can return to facing our real enemy:  Russia.
    The UK said the same:   They were bowing to Trump's geopolitical pressure at the expense of their own best interests....

    And as to there being "infrastructure anywhere" -- we saw how false that statement is as China quickly returned to full production while India and the U.S. are still struggling to control the virus.

    Russia is a glorified gas station masquerading as a country. Texas has a 5th the population and a much bigger economy. I recommend not listening to hysterical cable news political activists and instead to think for yourself. 

    You're carrying water for the CPP which has *ACTUAL* concentration camps and does organ harvesting. There's no freedom of speech or thought for that matter.

    The west has allowed the CPP to exploit the hardworking Chinese people so that corporations can squeeze out extra profits. 

    I'm APPL long. I personally and my family have made between 1.7-2 million dollars combined in our Apple investments. Up until 5 years ago, we were ignorant and had no interest in China. Since then we've been very vocal shareholders.  I doubt Apple listened to us but there's a large group of shareholders that we're part of that has been pushing Apple to diversify its manufacturing because China (CPP controlled) is NOT the future. Apple is doing this and it's great news.
    There are several people here who defend China to the ends of the Earth for some inexplicable reason, I can only reason that they are Chinese shills. The CCP is an abusive, threatening, vile regime. The Chinese economy exists purely to serve the Xi and the CCP. The sooner manufacturing leaves China the better, from economic to ecological and political to human rights reasons. I will happily pay 10-25% more for products made outside of China.
    The CCP has made its average working population much richer than they were 20 years ago, which is more than can be said of the DemRep uni party. In fact the oligarchs that control US economic and foreign policy made the deliberate decision to outsource manufacturing at the cost to American workers decades ago and has decided to rile up the masses just now as China becomes a military and economic threat to them. Not you. 

    Given the relatively minute differences on policy, particularly on economic policy and foreign policy, it’s surprising how bitter the debate is in the US. I know some of it is cultural, but there are cultural divisions between parties across the western world, between conservatives and liberals, between left and right. 

    It’s possibly the narcissism of the small difference but I wonder if there isn’t some kind of mind control going on, the oligarchs and plutocrats knowing there is a fig leaf between the parties if that, so the media they own - left and right - pathologise the opposition as traitors and frauds, and as illegitimate; This shouting and paranoia replacing democratic choice.

     Meanwhile in many European and other democratic countries there are a dozen or more parties, with wide ranging policies from (actual) communist, through greens, centre and far left, centrist, centre and far right, separatists, mild to extreme nationalists and with the exception of the latter nobody cares much who wins.
