That’s ridiculous. Unfinished code or known buggy code should never be checked into the daily build. That’s software development 101. Something is seriously out of control if developers have been checking stuff in prematurely.

This is the problem with Agile processes.  You end up with one line drawing masquerading as requirements which leads to shipping code that was barely tested.  

This can actually work if you have REALLY good QA. But QA is ALWAYS the first thing to get cut when the schedule runs out of time.  

Agile does deliver software MUCH faster than waterfall where you spend a year writing design documents that are outdated and wrong before you ever start coding.  But like everything else in life there are trade offs.  

If Apple went to a 3 year release cycle on iOS it would be absolutely rock solid.  But you still wouldn’t be able to browse the web while you were on the phone.

This is why it has taken a decade to build new manned space capsules.  Conversely it is why 346 people died on 737 Max jets plummeting from the sky.

Obvious Question: Which websites?

Various implant commands enable the attackers to steal the container directories of third-party apps. The implant contains a hardcoded list of apps which will always have their container directories uploaded when the implant starts up. Here’s the pre-populated list of bundle identifiers for third-party apps, which will always have their container directories uploaded if the apps are installed:

com.yahoo.Aerogram

com.microsoft.Office.Outlook

com.netease.mailmaster

com.rebelvox.voxer-lite

com.viber

com.google.Gmail

ph.telegra.Telegraph

com.tencent.qqmail

com.atebits.Tweetie2

net.whatsapp.WhatsApp

com.skype.skype

com.facebook.Facebook

com.tencent.xin

….

Obvious: do not use Facebook, Google and Microsoft, whats new?

Aren't those spoof sites? Com. or Net. before the website instead of after?

Trump is creating a war against China and Chinese companies (as well as Iran) to distract from the exposures of his own corruption and criminality.

Unfortunately it won't be he who suffers but America and Americans. 
Meanwhile the rest of the world is sliding away from the U.S. as Trump elects the failed "go it alone" strategy of the Bush Administration where the only countries who support his policies are those who have been bullied into it.

This is unlikely to end well.
Particularly now that the U.S. has to sell a Trillion dollars of bonds a year to finance Trump's Taxscam.  The U.S. is vulnerable -- especially as China has already loaned the U.S. over a Trillion dollars.  Frankly, we need them more than they need us.

1.  We have been in an economic and technological war with China for decades.  Trump didn't create anything, nor is there any evidence of "corruption" or "criminality."  
2.  China will suffer far more than we will.  They need us more than we need them.  Just do the math.  
3.  Trump is engaging with countries all over the world.  The only difference is he is putting our nations interests first.  Tell me how NATO funding i doing?  Tell me about our relationship with most of Arab world?  Tell me about trying to work with North Korea?  He's far from "go it alone."  His predecessor was the one who decided to unilaterally overthrow Gaddafi without Congressional approval, went on a literal apology tour, and allowed ISIS to take hold.  
4.  No money is needed to finance the tax cuts, because revenue is already up 2%.  The problem, as anyone who can do arithmetic can see, is spending.  I grant you that Trump has been as bad as Obama or Bush on spending.  But it's not the "tax scam."  Speaking of the name, you sound like you're reading from Pelosi's talking points.  The "scam" benefited the middle and lower economic classes as a % far more than the wealthy and upper class.  
5.  Again.  Wrong.  We have 500 billion a year trade deficit.  China accounts for about 2% of our economy, while we account for nearly 20% of theirs.  They depend on double digit growth, which is now down 30% from its two-decade average.  Short term, we will see higher prices, and that may cause some pain.  But China is panicking right now.  That is why they are leaking threats of dumping treasuries and such....they only thing they can do is try to tank our markets.

This household is not giving up Netflix.    My pain-point isn't managing a few apps.  If Apple can deliver some winners then they have a chance but they need to chill on the "we da best!" marketing schtick or you're going to find Netflix cleaning your clock.  

You're selling what everyone else is selling.   There's very little innovation in aggregating content.   Apple original content is going to have to be good. ....really good.

Anything will be better than the tripe you watch on Netflix.
