A topic that rarely comes up when talking about remote work is where workers are in their career. I can’t imagine being at the start of my career and having to figure out, via Slack, who my mentors are going to be. Or how to get ad hoc advice from someone more senior without feeling like I was “bothering” them. I’ve been remote for the majority of my career now, but definitely got a lot out of in-person interactions when I was younger.

"With both gaps, SFUSD evidenced greater inequities than state averages in 2015, and that relative underperformance worsened by 2019. The district’s anti-tracking public relations campaign, by focusing on metrics such as grades and course enrollments, diverts attention from the harsh reality that SFUSD is headed in the wrong direction on equity."
"Conservancy assists FLOSS project leaders by handling all matters other than software development and documentation, so the developers can focus on what they do best: improving the software for the public good."
A little late to the party, but... Alta Bicycle Share is the operator of bicycle sharing systems across the country and internationally including Citi Bike (NYC), Divvy (Chicago), Capital Bikeshare (Washington, DC), Hubway (Boston), Bay Area Bike Share (SF Bay Area), CoGo (Columbus, OH), Bike Chattanooga, and Melbourne Bike Share (Melbourne, AU) and we are looking for a senior web developer to work with our team building software that supports our operations across the country.
Our team handles two distinct pieces of bike share operations: the customer-facing sites for each of our cities (like www.citibikenyc.com) and internal tools that help our staff with their work in the day-to-day running of a bike share system (like our rebalancers, mechanics, dispatch, etc). Our technology stack is mostly PHP right now, though at least one of our internal APIs is written in Ruby, and I'd be open to arguments for moving languages / stacks. Looking for a full-stack web developer, but really I'm just looking for someone who is excited about both software and bike share.

While the media may do stories like this often, I feel like the question is often more along the lines of "how do we save all of the bits!?" and less about other, broader ways we can think about saving the information, as opposed to just saving the data.
For me, the more relevant part of this story was:
"By some estimates, that’s nearly 30 million times the amount of information contained in all the books ever published. Even if we had perfectly stable storage, could we ever have enough to preserve everything? The short answer is no — but only because we’re trying to replicate the practices used for decades to maintain paper archives."
Though I've never used it, Loosecubes (http://loosecubes.com) is doing just this. Offices list their spare space (on a daily or monthly basis, for a fee or for free) and the types of people they're looking to work with, and people seeking office space can apply for those spots.
I did, and it seems that at least bit.ly data is uploaded daily, but your point still stands - 301works does not have anything close to 100% shortener coverage.
Though interestingly, he doesn't really mention 301 redirects. Is the point that URLs shouldn't change, or that changing URLs shouldn't break the web (or a little of both)?
Considering that no URL shortener I know of will actually let you change the underlying URL it points to, unless the hosting service decides to change what the underlying URL actually points to (tsk tsk), the shortener is pretty much a canonical pointer to that data, despite the fact that the hash doesn't often give much information about the underlying data.
Our site was pretty much designed exactly for this use case - the free account allows for private sessions, in-song commenting and in-session discussion.
