What about "Hey SIRI, answer the phone" and "Hey SIRi, answer on speaker phone" This way I don't have to run over and slide to answer.

Ohh!! That is a great one! Love that!

We need coders...to code for iOS and MacOS (of course) to further cement Apple's domination. Yes, folks - the answer to jobs and employment is to make everyone a programmer, and sure, all goods can come from overseas. We won't actually build things any more.

You can't code clothing, furniture, cars, airplanes, MRI machines.

What is that saying? When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail?

This isn't exactly what Cook was saying. Multiple times during the discussion, he pointed out that companies need to do what they know in an effort to help humanity. Apple, knows coding. They've made a big push by creating a simpler (but powerful) programming language. They've put programs in place for teachers, any teacher, to teach coding to their students. They've made software, apps, and more available for free, and are even helping teachers learn to code.

Now, obviously, there is a huge benefit to Apple to have kids using their products early, developing on their platform, etc etc. BUT, he stresses that he doesn't expect everyone to be a coder. He highlights that the vast majority won't be. But basic programming teaches language skills, problem-solving, creativity, etc. All of those are basic skills that you do need when trying to design furniture, clothing, or cars. You do need programming for cars, airplanes, MRI machines. You do need to be creative, you do need to know how to solve problems. Cook emphasizes that this is what they want to help with. 

Basic coding at a young language really can help a worker in any of those areas you talked about. Additionally, the manufacturing jobs are becoming more and more automated, so thinking to the future, Cook believes we need to start developing different skills.

There are two things that came to my mind when I heard the news about this budget iPad:

1. I know Sammy’s Galaxy tablets are already dead, but I just want to recognize them: RIP Galxy tabs. 
2. At this point, when the budget iPad packs all these features and performance while maintaining the price tag of $329, iPP pricing seems unreasonable and even a little ridiculous.

At $649, it’s roughly 2x the price of the iPad 6th gen, and I just can’t justify that price gap. I hope this year’s iPP would bring enough enhancements to make me feel I was actually wrong.

To be fair on the iPad Pro pricing, those devices are now a bit older. Chances are they will be updated fairly soon, putting them quite a step above this budget iPad. 
The more egregious issue, in my opinion, is the ridiculous price of the iPad Mini. The mini 4 is only $29 less than the same storage 9.7"iPad. So for that $29 you get a bigger/better screen, faster processor, upgraded motion coprocessor, more ram, etc. The iPad Mini isn't even capable of shooting Live Photos.

Does this work for remote viewing via 3/4G?

I am no expert but I set a homebridge camera up using a different guide and it worked locally but as soon as I left my WiFi it would not work and I could find no reason why not. 

I used motioneye OS to create an IP camera which I fed into homebridge with an IP camera plug in. So not the same but ultimately homebridge was sharing the camera to HomeKit, and it added fine and worked but only on the local network. 

I note my other homekit hue bulbs work off the local network, as do my homebridge temperature sensors as expected, so just the video that fails. 

Hi there, yes, this should work remotely. I tested this and found no issues.
