As far as content caching goes, making it built in to the operation system is a win-win situation. It lessens load on Apple data centers and speeds up downloads/reduces bandwidth for customers with multiple Apple devices.

The current iteration, however, needs some work. On my old Mac Mini, it is constantly complaining that it needs more space. This will become annoying and I'm sure that some people will find this message anxiety-inducing. For me, I have been meaning to find out whether it stops working or if it purges old content when this happens. I hope it is the latter!
Under the hood of my neuroevolution game/god simulator
Originally developed in aviation as a consequence of accidents where highly trained pilots made (sometimes silly) mistakes, often while other cockpit occupants recognised a problem (and sometimes even spoke up, to no avail).

Anatul Gawande has an entertaining and insightful book, The Checklist Manifesto, in which he describes some components of CRM (such as checklists, huddles, non-hierarchical team structure & communication), and how they can be transferred to medicine, specifically hospitals. Good read, and I'd much rather be treated in a hospital where they use checklists & good CRM!

> even now evolution is still only considered a theory

No, you simply misunderstand what “theory” means in the scientific context. It’s a synonym for “explanatory model”. And “evolution” in this context stands for something close to “gradual change via random mutations and natural selection [as well as other, less important mechanisms]”. Calling it “theory” does not imply that it’s not based on observable facts, or that there’s doubt about it. It’s simply used to distinguish observable facts from an explanatory model.

There is no “progression of certainty” from hypothesis → theory → fact. As another commenter has said, evolution is as much a theory as gravity.
I hate that kind reasoning.

1. You are actively funding thieves. This is wrong on so many levels it is bizarre.

2. All subscriptions need to be redone.

3. Even in a perfect world it is quite the hassle. And that is not taking into account the added problems if this were to be happening while you were on vacation.

Even risking only one of those is a complete dealbreaker.

So I'm sure this exists in other countries too, but in the Netherlands there is this website called "wie betaalt wat", which roughly translates to "who pays what/something".

When going out you take turns paying and just keep track of how much you paid. Then at the end of the night (or the next day, or whenever) everyone fills the amount they paid, and once that is done the website calculates how to evenly spread the net cost with the least mount of cash transfers.

Basically, splitting the bill is such an essential part of Dutch culture - even though most people I know are not aware of this actually being called "going Dutch" in English-speaking countries - that we automated it.

People seem to love this textbook - and understandably so because it's very approachable. But I really struggled with how informal the tone was, and how friendly it was. Perhaps I'd grown too accustomed to the typical theorem -> proof -> example -> problem set format.

>QubesOS enables some of this today, at high setup cost.

While I think that it can't really work as I envision without hardware integration, in addition user friendliness is in fact a key part because this is another case where widespread adoption would have a kind of emergent "herd immunity" effect. The effect of introducing kill switches ("Activation Lock" in Apple terms) for phones is a good example. From an NYT article from that era [0] following Apple's general push of the feature:

>"Comparing data in the six months before and after Apple released its anti-theft feature, police said iPhone robberies in San Francisco dropped 38 percent. In London, they fell 24 percent."

>"In New York City, robberies (which typically involve a threat of violence) of Apple products dropped 19 percent and grand larcenies of Apple products dropped 29 percent in the first five months of 2014, compared with the same time period from 2013, according to a report from the New York attorney general’s office, which included data from the New York City Police Department. By comparison, thefts of Samsung products increased 51 percent in the first five months of 2014, compared with the same period a year ago, the report said."

Now, with jailbreaking before that it was already possible to have a relatively effective remote kill switch type of feature, and there were even commercial jailbreak products to that effect (or to try to track it down and find it). But when only one in thousands or tens to hundreds of thousands of phones might have something like that, it wouldn't have any larger effect beyond the specific feature working as intended and rendering the phone unusable (or letting it be recovered maybe). For criminals playing the odds it made no material difference overall, if they occasionally got a phone that "broke" after stealing it they'd just toss it. But once it was universal it changed the math on even trying in the first place and became not just a response but a deterrent.

By the same token if everyone had an easy level of adaptive viewing, it'd change the math for everyone else as well. And as a very compelling response to an entirely separate popular demand, if it was everywhere and normal it'd be a lot harder for even governments to single anyone out over it. Even government resources are not in fact infinite, and it's an important check on power as to whether they can engage in mass sweeps or must devote significant individualized attention to each case.

>iOS12 Shortcuts may enable this in the future, if apps can be tagged by users with custom metadata, which then drives a OS-wide policy engine.

I don't think Shortcuts can really handle this, at least not on a stock device.

>iOS "Screen Time" has arbitrary categories of apps, some of which incorrectly classify social apps (like Flipboard) as "Reading". This need to be customizable based on user priorities.

Screen Time on the other hand might represent a small step in this direction. I'd be excited if it was!

I think there has been some windows of opportunity for single-developers teams.

- In the 80's and 90's when PC games where simple enough.

- At the beginning of Steam

- At the beginning of the App Store and the Play Store

At those time, there wasn't that much competition so while it was still hit or miss, you still had a decent chance to be successful as a single-person indie developer.
