So far, in 35 minutes the Worldwide “Developers” Conference seems to be exclusively about consumer features, though they did mention API as an afterthought :)

It is interesting to see that Netflix hasn't implemented SharePlay.
The keynote lists many other partners (such as Hulu, HBOMax etc.)

It is interesting to contrast the U.S system of genetically modified food (e.g. the "new" genetically modified cottonseed) with how traditional systems dealt with food (such as cottonseed).
Cottonseed is considered as a nutritious source of food in Madurai, India (and perhaps in other parts of the world). They don't genetically modify cotton, but they process cottonseed to create cottonseed "milk", a healthy, nutritious drink
ddg couldn't find many online references to cottonseed milk (Paruthi Paal in Tamil). However, here are a couple of links
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlD9gxef5mo Starting from around minute 18:00 onwards, this video shows a vendor talking about how he makes cottonseed milk. Unfortunately, the video doesn't have English subtitles, but it might be interesting anyway :)

In all these years, GitHub didn't make a single penny as profit
Like most "successful" startup companies over the past decade, only way (for investors) to make money was to make the company a "product" that would be sold to the highest bidder
Why is anyone surprised that GitHub would be sold ?

My older iPad (yes, first gen iPad from 2010) is eight years old and it works great (from my perspective :)
Yes, I can't download most new apps, but last year, I released an update for 'Economy for iPad' (#1 Finance app for several weeks in 2010) and that app continues to support the original iPad and iOS 5.1
Generally, the best way to keep old devices running well is to keep the old OS. (Old major version at its latest minor version e.g. 10.3). There is a slight risk of not being able to pick up security fixes that didn't make it into 10.3, but made it to 11.0. However, as a developer, who tests apps on older OS versions, I keep old test devices with old OS versions on them.
Btw I should also add that Netflix runs perfectly on my old iPad with iOS 5.1 :)

It was a bit disingenuous for Trump to describe India and China as top polluters
India (population 1.3 Billion) creates lesser CO2 emissions than the US
China's per-capita emissions is just around half of that of the US
[Edit: replying to comment about pollution and emissions
The Paris agreement is about climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
When Trump talks about polluters and withdrawing from the Paris agreement, it seems illogical to suggest that he wasn't referring to CO2 emissions]
