This sounds like favoring wifi, not a bad connection. Favoring wifi makes economic sense given that most plans are metered, even the "unlimited" ones. But not all wifi connections are equal: some are blocked, some are really weak. It's not always what you as the user will want. Apple thinks they can fix that too, I'm curious about the result.

Do you understand the difference between architecture and implementation? Two people can implement the same architecture and get very different performance.
Intel (used to) love flogging AMD for having the same architecture but significantly worse performance and horrible power. It was a little unfair in that Intel has a state of the art fab that is often the very best in the business, while AMD had to use legacy technology from a less top tier fab on an older process node, but that wasn't the entire source of the discrepancy. In this case, Apple's rivals absolutely do have access to the same top tier processes, originally Apple had its main rival fab its chips! The difference was purely implementation of the architecture.
The best example I can give you is that the architecture defines say, a 32-bit multiply instruction. It defines what the result will be for any given combination of multiplier/multiplicand, including edge cases, and overflow cases, etc. It says nothing about how you implement that instruction, only that you must be able to handle it, and it must produce a given result. You *could* implement it using an adder and a for loop like we learned in grade school. Even running at 1GHz on the very best process, you will have made the slowest multiplier in the industry, and this very much would show on any given benchmark that used multiplies in its tests (all of them).
Figuring out clever ways of implementing that instruction that are fast, low power and consume low silicon geometry is what logic designers/computer engineers spend their days on. It makes a huge difference, and what you should read here is that Apple has beaten its competitors pretty thoroughly on implementation of ARM, and that implementation is entirely owned by Apple and requires significant investment from its competitors to keep up with.
The message to customers is the A11 chip is the best out there, the message that investors won't want to hear is that in-house design is beating the shitty ODM model to small bits. Google and Microsoft are both looking at Apple and thinking they need to design their own chips too, that Samsung, Huawei (Chinese for "state sponsored spies and world-class fuckups") etc. are not invested in their products.
I don't think that'll happen because consumers are tools.
The window where people have kids that are interested in disney content is pretty small. They're trying to fix this with star wars/marvel etc., but it's a lot easier to say no to your teenager than to your 5yo. I think they'll defeat themselves with this, it will just take years.
Anecdotes versus trusting that a study was done without letting money motives for the purposes of finding truth cancel each other out. The only possible reason to study this is because someone wanted a conclusion, chances are they got what they paid for.
Because we will drop the sub after we watch the one show they have we want.
The rest of this study is irrelevant and honestly doesn't ring true. When a show is spread out too long I tend to lose much of the plot points due to other things going on in between. I tend to stop caring about some shows I might otherwise finish up. Possibly the last part of that sentence is the key point: when binge watching I might watch a show I'd ordinarily decide to give up on because it got stupid. When they're spaced a week apart I will just not bother to go back.
Obama, from what I understand really overstepped his constitutional powers by enacting this in the first place.
Courts decide constitutionality. The judicial and executive branch do what they think is right (ideally, power grab practically).
SAYING it is unconstitutional gets cheers from the beer helmet coalition though, and APPEARING tough by ending it because of a potentially false pretense gets them into voting booths.
I am going to have a roast beef sandwich for lunch, I will opt out of the potatochips. However, lettuce, tomato and mayo are included with each order. You cannot opt out of the lettuce, tomato and mayo.
I think these days very few of us give our kids multiple glasses of HFCS today. Back in the day we'd drink big jugs of coke like it was going out of style, but the word is out there that this stuff is bad for you in quantity. Like alcohol, moderation is required when complete abstinence isn't desirable.
Honestly the looks you get if you give your kid a can of coke for lunch at school puts you somewhere between terrorist and pedophile, and given the general idiocy of our education system, the teacher is likely to blame any and all issues on that can of coke. You have to be a glutton for punishment to keep doing it.
You should always say no if it's immoral or unethical. But when it comes to this situation? If the boss said 'just do it', I'd do it and look for another job.
I want to clarify, I love my wife and my kids, and would do it all over again. But, all decisions have consequences, and as far as the road most traveled goes, this is a potential consequence. Some people manage to be happy at home and at work, but they have a very different personality than I do.
There's no treating, it IS an obligation. At about 35, if you are "typical", you will have a wife and family. Both will depend on you to one extent or another for your income, and sometimes also health benefits. Suddenly work isn't for fun, you can't take the risks you used to take before and have to play it straight, which IS utterly dull. You also start to realize that the fun money you blew on hookers and blow (or your favorite equivalent) should be invested in life insurance, and college funds, and also shit retirement is still a ways off but how the hell do you save for that with these others things? So you start to take more aggressively stupid jobs (management, for example, or technical jobs in lead roles) that pay bigger bucks. And soon, probably while working on a spreadsheet to enumerate fun work for other people to do, or perhaps while giving a power-point presentation on a project post-mortem, highlighting things that could have been done better, but will never be done better because upper management has tightened its sphincter, you realize you hate your job. You may think about a change, if you know your present employer isn't one of the best...and that leads to a series of events that is uncomfortable. Or, you are already in the very best employer in your field, and you get what I think is the worst feeling: shit, this is as good as it gets. And you hate your job more.
I often fantasize about winning the lottery even a small one just enough to reset me to 25 again. I kid myself: I would take an immediate demotion to college intern and just work on hardware design, or coding or wherever the fun I used to have was. But it's a joke, you can't go home again, and relieved of financial pressure I would probably not be fit for corporate employment. Having spent time in management, and knowing the things I know about how decisions are made, who makes them, and how very wrong the usually are, I would probably never be able to do that work again in a way that wouldn't get me asked to leave. This is what genuine overqualification means (not that HR shit). That is perhaps the MOST depressing part.
The workflow that I'd advocate is to make a bare repo on some other machine that is backed up, clone that repo and keep your code on your dev machine. Edit/commit/push back there. This gives you all the advantages of git, particularly if you ever need to use another machine for dev without exposing your entire codebase to HD wipes, or... microsoft's evil software quirks.
Zipfiles and tarballs automatically snapped periodically are good as backup, but are kind of annoying to work with, particularly if his tool does something more subtle and he wants to go back in time to just before it happened. There was an editor I used to use that had a habit of corrupting it's own project files in subtle ways, and what i ended up having to do was get an old copy of that file, and hand tweak it in to the present format of that file so the editor would stop being stupid. git really helps here.

Actually they're allowing us to animate ourselves as turds and send the resultant product to our friends. And people want that.

I know quite a few middle-aged adults with this issue, even a few close to retirement. It's a pretty universal problem.

Apple's CPU's belong to the ARM

This was on the four major broadcast networks (sorry, CW) - yet how many of us had no idea it was happening
I think that probably answers your own question. How many people still get broadcast TV? I have a means to get it, but I never use it.

Certainly if I didn't want that I would not take that update. I definitely don't take any launch OS from anyone, ever.

Why not try to live to be 140? Not a single person has never died over 140, except highly suspect tales in the bible.
