I don't have college education and I work as a software engineer for the past 20 years. I am not sure college would make any meaningful difference for me. College makes sense for certain fields but for occupations where college is not required, college is not necessarily the best path.

I used Pencil 1 and now using Pencil 2 since its release. I prefer the feel and grip of Pencil 1. It feels more solid. It feels reliable. Its weight gives a sense of quality. With Pencil 2, it feels cheap. It is too light. And I noticed that there are occasional issues with drawing/writing where it just doesn't register correctly. I never had that with Pencil 1. The double tap is a huge boost but unfortunately, it doesn't register that consistently. Given the fact that Pencil 2 feels cheap, it's disappointing that it costs 20 dollars more. Overall, I like Pencil 2 in terms of user experience since I like it sticks to iPad and that I can do double tap. But I think there are some issues with registering Pencil 2 to marking, likely software-related than the Pencil itself.

If any non-wealthy mentally ill person climbed on top of the tables to rant he’d have been removed by security. Why do the wealthy get a pass?

That's not just wealth but fame. He gets a pass because of his recognition. Why should you care? You're just nobody so no one cares and knows you enough to trust and hold you accountable or to benefit from your exposure.

Apple’s fault or Intel’s for not locking it before shipping them to Apple?

It's a responsibility of a vendor to lock it before shipping to consumers so it's Apple's fault in this case. 

A couple of things... I don't know what makes that doctor downplay the significance of ECG in a watch if he never tested it.

While it is nowhere the same as the ECG in hospitals, having two separate electrodes can actually improve detection of different types of arrhythmias that was not possible with S3 or older. When arrhythmia is suspected, it's usually enough for you to go to ER. A-Fib can easily be detected with just two electrodes but requires further confirmation with more advanced ECG.

It is easy for two electrodes ECG to detect tachycardia and can tell difference between some types of tachycardias. But more electrodes are needed and placed in right places to determine what type of tachycardia it is.
