A medal of honor winner's page on the DoD website has been moved to a URL starting with "dei".

Is this being done automatically to pages containing certain phrases like "gender and racial equality" or did a real person actively decide to do this?

If it's the former then that seems very clumsy; if the latter then it's poor judgement.

Yay! We have lots of Bionicles in the house still. My boys used to buy me a new one when I started a new job for my desk - when working in the office was a thing.

Not having your own website is an opportunity missed for techies especially, I think.

The establishment never acted against Saville in his lifetime. All the public allegations and investigations happened almost a year after his death.

I want to as well, but annoyingly there are many sites that insist on a "special" character because their strength measure says "low" for the 20 character alphanumeric string I generated %-}

I adopted a retired greyhound about 6 months ago and now walk about 200km a month with her. I used to do a lot of cycling and did lots of thinking on long rides, but after 3 crashes this year I'm now riding a lot less and find myself explaining things out loud to the dog on our walks (particuarly the early morning walk). It helps set me up for the day.

Yes, I think this is how Wordle did the migration to NY Times without losing game history. The original site did a redirect to nytimes.com/something/wordle?data=X where X was the game history. Quite clever, I thought.

I always stick to 2 pages (25 years ~10 jobs) but include the URL of the HTML version of my CV/resume which has the full details of each role. You may need to be creative about how you include the URL... as some recruiters will edit it out if you put it in the header or footer.

Totally agree. The infrastructure is already there. In fact, this is what email was when it was a "program" you ran, rather than a web thing, and all your contacts were real people you knew rather than businesses.

Is there an email client that has or could add social features? Do we need someone to create one?

Maybe try writing a private diary for, say, a year and see what you get. Depending on events you will probably either (a) drift out of the habit after a month or two (b) gain insights into yourself and carry on (c) start to publish selected extracts as a blog/book.

If you become famous then someone will do (c) for you at some point (maybe after you are gone).

I thought the same, but tried it for a month and it didn't work for me. Just as you get two Fridays a week (Tuesday and Friday) it also felt like I had two Mondays (Monday and Thursday). I just ended up hating Thursdays as much or more than Mondays, maybe because I was the only one doing it.

Also, sometimes I need a few days momentum to get something over the line and two days is often not enough. Anyway, just my 2p, more to the point I would totally jump at the chance to have a 4 day week permanently.

Not all "jail time", but yes, many convictions would preclude candidates from employment at my current company... and most of the previous ones.

In 40 years I have only ever put the start and end year of each item on my resume. I guess this dates to when most jobs / education lasted multiple years. But I've stuck with it and no-one has ever questioned it.

The couple of jobs I have had which were less than one year spanned a year-end so it never looked odd.

When I am reviewing incoming resumes small gaps never bother me. Ocassionally I have seen multi-year gaps on interesting resumes and made enquires which always turned out to be completely legitimate career breaks and never lead to us not making offers.

As another outsider, I can remember seeing reports of mass shootings in the US every year or two for the last 30 years or so. Each time I thought "this time they have to do something" and yet the pattern continues. So to me it also seems "clear" that there isn't _enough_ will in the US to act on this.
