The majority of digs are done (paid for) by foreign universities, with oversight and eventual ownership of the items by the Museum of Cairo. Most foreign digs that I know of are paused, and have been since 2011/2012 - the ousting of Mubarak. The "season" for excavation limited, and a disruption of a few years was enough for a heavy uptick in looting.
A lot of important (but less newsworthy) sites are now bare - funding for security is not limitless, and without even annual oversight very hard to maintain. Sites of greater value ($ value) are more closely guarded, and perhaps even less likely to be looted if the Egyptians are leading the dig.
I have no direct sources (and haven't looked), I've only heard secondhand from my wife who works in a related field.
I don't think he needs to hand over - if someone else was doing a better job of the advocacy of Free Software then perhaps he could choose to 'retire', but until then he is the best there is.
In the enterprise space, a 'data storage system' could be an Array or a SAN or a lightpath etc, with usually quite long failover times. For an org like GitHub I'd think more like an object store (an Array-of-Hosts, if you will) or whatever storage mechanism holds their database files. Do they self host this sort of thing or is it an AWS/GCE/Azure service?
FWIW, all git commands are working fine for me (create a branch, push, colleagues can fetch my branch), but the UI doesn't show my branch & nor can I review/comment on PRs.
Adjusting a play date is very common. Like everything to do with parenting (at the age where play dates are common), flexibility is key. Everything from timing "We will be 20 minutes late, Jane is still napping" the environment "Thanks for inviting baby Thom also, can you try to keep him on a blanket as he is allergic to grass".
No parent will begrudge a reasonable change, as the expectation is that these are reciprocal. If you host a play date, you expect to attend one - with any changes needed to accommodate your child being taken into account.
It's much more likely to be the other parents discomfort and awkwardness around the out-of-ordinary care needs of the disabled child.
I visited Iceland a few years ago, and while I was there for only 10days or so (and drove the length of the ring-road that encircles it), have an overwhelming memory of terrible American drip-style coffee. I wonder if that was coffee made for tourism or a reaction to ordering in English not Icelandic. Makes me hope so, so I can return and try again.
