I consider twitter accounts disposable. "Give us, an advertising company, your phone number, then delete the offending tweet, which we're not showing you yet, then we'll let you back in". There is no way I'm giving you my phone number. Therefore I don't know which tweet was offensive, and how so; so I will continue to make that same mistake. If Musk didn't take into account locked accounts, he will have paid tens of billions too much, because I know I'm not alone in having lost count of locked accounts.
I found it all quite shallow and pointless I'm afraid. The space commentary for example, I would expect you can find that information in a BBC or CNN article.
I realised the multi-purpose device problem one evening when wanting to turn on my living room wifi-iot-light. I picked up my phone to use the light app, saw notifications, checked the news, checked some other things, put the phone down. A few minutes later, I remembered I wanted to turn the light on. Picked up the phone, saw notifications, checked the news, checked some other things, put the phone down. A few minutes later, I remembered the light, picked up the phone, started checking things, and thought wtf am I doing, I've just checked these apps twice already!? Stood dumbfounded and concerned at my obsession, then remembered, oh, the light! Distractions.
The like the phone so that they can ask questions in passing to find out what other roles they're competing for. You're their commission, so they have a sports coach/psychologist approach to groom and herd you. I pretty much shouted at the recruiter for my current job, finally losing it with all her calls just before I went into the interview - a sheepdog darting left and right of the sheep.
That's a bit of a spun story. There was apartheid proper, and technically apartheid. By that time, '86, my colonial school had black students. Tutu didn't need exemption, and wasn't being particularly rebellious.
They recently changed their meet application for some reason. I use it without video, voice only; recently it has started trying to force me to use both - I have to refuse both, then once in the meet go and enable voice only. I loathe all things google but am forced to use meet for work.
"probably only half less lethal" you're entire scenario is based on this nonsense. "Very mild symptoms". As of the weekend there were no hospitalisations in the UK. This is irrelevant.
Not early, pre-mature. The South African scientists have said it will be weeks before useful analysis is complete. You'll have to web search for the ref, I'm busy, but it shouldn't be difficult.
The reasons are irrelevant - South Africa still ends up effectively "punished", and encourages reduced transparency, and delayed announcement. Personally, I don't care, but the mechanism is clear.
I think it depends on the job - the more advanced, sophisticated, the more specialisation; the less advanced, the more generalisation eg the neurosurgeon doesn't get asked to also do heart surgery - the barrier to jump from one to the other is too high, unlike painting a shed, cleaning a pool, mowing grass, carrying furniture. Tech has kernel and compiler experts who I think generally do little else, vs devops who are more generalist, have a more superficial knowledge of numerous technologies which often change. As I get older I feel my value as a generalist decreases when I look at the incredible depth of knowledge specialists have accrued over the years, and my knowledge is a year old and soon to expire - the eternal newbie, a dabbler, a dilettante. There's is some element of lack of identity in that, but it's too late at night to play Freud. This wasn't a bother when I was younger, and as sibling comments say generalists are in need, but I think that's mostly only in certain areas such as devops, sre, some dev. Personally, I'd rather be an expert, alas I'm not. I wonder if there's a connection to moving into management - with age, generalists are less able to jump around to new tech, so move into management? You certainly seem correct when looking at other roles such as AI, or data scientist - I worked alongside a computer vision, AR chap, and there was no way I was going to be jumping into that to help out. As technologies advance, there will be some abstraction, but increasing depth will require more specialists.
