I think it falls mainly in testing. The time it takes to get the phone designed and the OS integrated there is a new version out. Thus will always be a racing cycle to make sure you are up with the latest version.
Apple having full control of everything. May release the next version of iOS with all the specs in mind for their next device. If you troll macrumors you find that people can often predict what features the next phones will have based on what the Beta iOS has in its settings.
Android doesn't work that way.
But this is also the Same with most Linux Distributions. Say you have Ubuntu 18.4 and you want PostGreSQL 10. It isn't in the default Apt repository you will need to add a different source to get it installed. Because the Default Apt Repository is for the safest and tested builds.
Probably not, however he seems to be allowed to manage his own little kingdom in the Amazon Empire. A lot of the discussions seems to make good business sense, because with management making decisions off hours, it just creates confusion, as not everyone will be able to respond to it.
You have software that took months/years to plan and develop. A problem is found. You need to Fix it Fast, before it goes out to the wild. It will need to be tested to make sure it doesn't break compatibility or break something else.
If asked to change the infrastructure for every time there is a bug. The fix will take years to get out, and a new infrastructure will introduce new flaws untested.
A security first design of software made in the 1980's would just have a password login and permissions on what the user could see and do. 1990's Memory checking and limitation to prevent buffer overflow 2000's Memory randomization and removing from an ask to allow to don't allow, and you will need to do extra work to allow. 2010's Application Sand-boxing, Full Encryption, tiered design, redundant checking...
iOS being a product of the 2000's Is actually stronger then some other systems, but it has a lot of once good practices which are now bad practices in-place. But there hasn't been a massive iOS outbreak of security issues. Like with Windows a decade ago. Makes me figure that the current patching routine is still good enough.
Will they need an architectural redesign in the future. Probably. Like when Apple moved from MacOS (Classic) to OS X. They will need to upgrade iOS to a new system at some point just to stay current.
Sorry, Slashdot golden days are long gone. I am not saying it is dying. But it isn't the force it was during the late 1990's and early 2000's.
Did Slashdot do anything wrong? No not really, just during the 1990's - early 2000's it was one of a smaller player. And the sites that are more general focused, found a way to really optimize their sub-communites to really compete well against a specialty site such as Slashdot.
Also the Slashdot community to avoid any minor changes to the UI, Makes Slashdot seem out of date for any new people.
Technology never dies, it just stops getting updated.
Yahoo Finance is still the gold standard for financial information. And they have a few other good features that are still popular. Then you have all these devices from companies that Hate Google and Hate Microsoft so their default search engine is Yahoo!.

Carbon is a fun element, that is why we like to make materials out of it. It can be arranged in a lot of ways, plus we can mix it with a lot of other elements. Sometimes the trick isn't to absorb all the heat but transfer it somewhere else.
1. Size: This is a car sized device. the electronics they need to keep cool is probably a small box. 2. Lifespan: Your AC probably works well for a couple of years then become unreliable. There is no chance of us trying to get this device back. The system will work for a while and will die. 3. Environment: Water, Dirt, Dust, Bugs, Hair. will get into your AC system and muck it up. vs operating in a vacuum. 4. Cost: If you want you 12x12x8 foot room to have reliable AC you probably will need to spend millions of dollars in latest material tech to retrofit it. Or just pay a fraction of that total cost, with getting your AC Fixed every few years. I am not sure why you think a satellite cooling system is cheap?
Compared to most things standard Air Conditioning is Simple, Reliable and Cheap. You can build one yourself with an icebox, a small pump, some metal piping (copper is probably easiest) and a room fan. You can probably fix your yourself with some quick searching. However it is probably cheaper and easier just to replace a home unit. Or replace a part.
I am guessing this is just part of the poor quality in science reporting. Because they don't want to use the international standard of speeds of American Foot Ball Fields per second.
While I guess they are talking about speeds of a few thousands kph which would seem fast in terrestrial terms. However in astronomy terms it is rather slow.
If they are lying about spying. What would be the test for it. You are making a bold claim about it so it is up to you to prove guilt. I don’t have the time. I’ll need to take Apple at its word. Not from blind faith but because I haven’t receive evidence of such a conspiracy. Have I been wrong before? Yes. Have I been right more then I have been wrong? So far yes. Just because we can’t find proof, it doesn’t mean there is some devious secrets to hide it. Also lying to lawmakers if caught means jail. They would have waffled a response vs just outright lied about it.
However the black box for the most part is sending and receiving open specification type of data. If Apple is going to hide that they are sending your conversations to some mega server somewhere they are going to do it. Source Code will not stop that one person to question the code. If that code isn't there.
However the open specification will allow people to see the output from that black box.
I would word it more to the fact that the dynamic between same gender doctors vs different gender doctors may be an issue. The difference may more be in the interaction vs the differences between different genders.
A Male with a Male doctor will be more honest with pain levels and explaining the issues. vs with a Male Patient with a Female doctor who may instinctive want to appear tougher then he really feels.
Normally when a man goes into a hospital they actually get extra attention because they will often go when the condition is too serious, and nearly too late.
Most mainstream religions may push particular values but rarely do they ever align with a political party. For example the catholic church Pro-Life (abortion): Republican Anti-Death Penalty: Democrat Religious Freedom: Republican Supporting the underprivileged: Democrat
Now it is up to the individual who has to make a choice between the two to choose which topic the feel more strongly about, Because neither party will match perfectly.
Posted from your Android Phone, Made by a company who makes most of their money selling targeted ads based on your data views. Vs. Apple who makes its money from selling higher margin devices.
Why would that prove anything? If Apple is going to deceive you in front of lawmakers. Why not release source without the offending code, and compile and send a different branch with it.
Most of us even hard core open source Linux fans, will not install their applications by compiling the source. make clean & make & make install We would rather just run the apt-get, download the.deb or.rpm file which has the executable precompiled. Saving you the time and effort of the build.
Sure some of us will compile our code before we run it. But heck if you are in the business of spying, that could be considered a trade-off.
If you want to verify what is happening, then you should monitor all the wireless traffic your phone sends. Compare it in a quiet environment and one with talking. See if the data sent from the device is enough for conversations.
For the most part it is in Apples best interest in not getting caught betraying our trust in its security feature. The easiest way to not get caught is to not do the action.
They are not allowed. However they happen to align all their positions on things to match a candidate. There are plenty of reports where people were punished from the church for voting wrong. For most areas, this isn't a big deal. But some communities are centered around the religion and really put the pressure to vote for the guy without actually saying so. (and some do, but the community is so tightly linked to the church they will not report it)
Perfect security will drain the coffers. But there is a sweet spot where you can be sure you have reasonable security at a reasonable price.
Often what is really needed is just isolation from every layer in the application. Where the inputs from your form cannot be trusted with JavaScript formatting to insure correctness. You business layer will need to reevaluate what was entered, the Database should be setup with the correct security options and constraints. Permissions of queries need to be made to make sure you have access to such data. Or better yet, layout the data so you cannot access other information.
Part of the problem is ageism in the industry. The new fresh out of college programmer with all the new fancy buzzwords like Full Stack developer vs the old Product Life Cycle Developer often hacn't experience the pain of dealing with a security problem, and their skills are more to a point they are happy that it works at all. Vs a deep understanding of how to protect the product in the long term.
Bosses too combined the problem. They want the input screens ASAP, while the Experience developer will want the security model set, and data collecting and gathering engine working, and input validation checking all set even before the first UI is out. This model is overall faster development. But it will mean a few weeks of nothing to show your boss or your customers.
Lets hope the place you work doesn't decommission that mainframe you are working on.
There is a case of not liking such devices, but never having used them when they have been out for nearly a decade, is just avoiding new technology without giving it a try.
WebOS was the BeOS of the mobile world. Ahead of its time in many features, but just lacked the polish and poor timing of its release to gain a foot hold.
Hacking aside. The biggest issue I see, is it takes the privacy out of voting. We should be able to vote without our pastor looking over our solders judging us, or a Union Rep who may decide that your department may be OK for a layoff so they can bring in other workers. A Boss who may just fire you on the spot...
Voting our conscious without direct personal repercussion is one of our basic rights. And one of our few powers that we have to actually change those who lead us.
So the question will be on voting day, how many Church Congregations, Union Meetings, will there be to show people how to use the app.
The PalmOS and WebOS were the leading mobile OS's many of its aspects are still in Android and iOS today.
The problem with WebOS wasn't WebOS but the fighting with Apple with its hacked iTunes support, back in the days where the iPod was still king, and iTunes was the best place to get music. Palm hired a bunch of Ex Apple Engineers to hack their phones to look like an iPod so it can sync with iTunes. Causing Apple to block the hack for Palm to make a new one.
What this did with Customers is giving them a feature that didn't work consistently. And failed to differentiate WebOS from just an iPhone wannabe.
What made Android so popular is that it didn't try to be an iPhone but not by Apple, but a different type of device. And a different experience. Sure they may trade some features with Apple and Android but they are very different systems.
WebOS was poorly marketed as an iPhone with Beta features that havn't been fully thought out.

That is good to hear.
Luckily for you there is a wide range of phones with different pricing and features.
For some they want what the Note 9 has and are willing to pay for it. Other may need less and want to pay more.
Free Market Economy for the win. I know people with Flip phones, and they are not getting hunted down by the Smart Phone Police to upgrade.
