US News New report on Shadow Inc.’s Iowa caucus ‘epic fail’ suggests that this disaster was basically ‘an F5 tornado of incompetence’ waiting to touch down The Shadow Inc. saga continues to get weirder — and even more damning for the Democrats who thought Shadow’s app would be perfect for the Iowa caucus: The details of Shadow's epic fail keep getting worse. They deployed the Android app through a free version of TestFairy, which caps the number of users at 200. https://t.co/8Xq3WRWA7v pic.twitter.com/fogUbRxJ9k — Adrienne (@AdrienneRoyer) February 4, 2020 More from The Verge: Testing platforms are common for mobile apps, and are one of many ways in which independent app developers and large software makers can deploy test software without going through the sometimes rigorous App Store and Play Store review processes. This is primarily to let developers squash bugs and ensure the app can run on a variety of different devices, some of which may be using outdated operating systems and powered by older, less powerful components that may render the app sluggish or just plain inoperable. In this case, however, it looks like Shadow used a test platform for the app’s public distribution, at least for Android users. (TestFairy provides an iOS installer platform, but it is not clear if Shadow used TestFairy for the iOS version of the Iowa Recorder App.) Installing software through a test platform or sideloading onto your device manually both come with security risks, as app store review processes are designed to discover whether a piece of software is hiding malware or does something behind the scenes it’s not supposed to. In the event you do sideload an app or try installing an unofficial version, your smartphone typically warns you of the risks and asks if you want to proceed. It’s also a less stable model for deploying software at scale, which might explain the difficulty precinct chiefs had in downloading the program. That would certainly help to explain it, yes. That's an F5 tornado of incompetence. https://t.co/yGazTvONzS — Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) February 4, 2020 cont...

WINNING. ITEM 2: Axios reported, "President Trump often says he's the smartest person in the room on virtually every topic. Now, after taking several risks on what he privately calls big sh** and avoiding catastrophe, Trump and his entire inner circle convey supreme self-confidence, bordering on a sense of invincibility. "The state of play: Three years into Trump's presidency, their view is the naysayers are always wrong. They point to Iran, impeachment, Middle East peace. Every day, Trump grows more confident in his gut and less deterrable. Over the last month, 10 senior administration officials have described this sentiment to me. Most of them share it." He believes he is invulnerable because he is. I warned them that a failed Mueller report would do this. On top of that, they impeached him. They are sissy boys who cry wolf.

Old and busted: Count every vote! New hotness: Cancel any election we lose! https://t.co/7wP6mScfTS — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 4, 2020 Media blaming Trump for their own promulgation of a false and dangerous theory that Trump won 2016 via Russia collusion. Insane corruption of our media on full display today. https://t.co/RdJpdnmkJu — Mollie (@MZHemingway) February 4, 2020 Thread on that Gallup poll showing 49% approval for Trump https://t.co/DWwqAD3d9R — John Daniel Davidson (@johnddavidson) February 4, 2020 Imagine being a NY Times reporter and thinking that it's Trump who has "thrown accelerant on distrust of institutions" and not, you know, media outlets like the NY Times or the pre-Trump political establishment. https://t.co/jYeyReDJD2 — John Daniel Davidson (@johnddavidson) February 4, 2020 This is some wildly shady stuff. https://t.co/2ADxB10ktz — Rebeccah Heinrichs (@RLHeinrichs) February 4, 2020
