I would imagine most of these remote interviews are just an initial conversation and an employer would insist on a formal interview in person if they have a policy on physical presence. My policy is to advance the requirement that there be hot chicks in the office if I need to be in that space.
It makes me sad to read these stories. Neurotypical people have an incredibly difficult time understanding that their lived experience is not the same as other people. They try to force a square peg in a round hole and when that fails they accuse the peg of non-compliance and set about knocking the corners off it.
My daily task is to sit with my daughter and tell her she's ok and remind her of all the amazing things she is and does. She didn't choose to be like this, none of us chooses our DNA, parents, environment, preferences. Let's stop pretending that free will exists and accept each others lived experience. That's the path to compassion and love.
I get the sense that the author hasn't tried many or any of these substances and is trotting out the standard line. I didn't see alcohol, cigarettes and Oxycontin mentioned.
If we're going to have an adult conversation about addictive substances we should first talk about sugar and junk food. We should also discuss the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle, lack of healthcare and community, ignorance of mental health, motor vehicles, pollution, the criminal justice system, Judeo-Christian culture and being a person of colour. Those will form the major risk factors for human health.
I would imagine it's very difficult to make a universal architecture but if I have learnt anything about computers it's that the manufacturers of software and hardware deliberately created opaque and monolithic systems, e.g. phones. They cynically insert barriers to their reuse and redeployment. There's no profit motive for corporations to make infintitely scalable computers. Short sighted greed is a much more plausible explanation.
Race is a political concept. It has no scientific basis so it's not possible to declare any given person as white, black or whatever.
On the other hand, it is abundantly obvious from outward appearances that some individuals genetic heritage is geographically rooted. Those differences were used to create the political narrative of racism that justified the exploitation of Africa, America, etc. Among the many colonial-era atrocities were genocide and slavery.
There's a lot of guilt and shame around this topic for white people, particularly white Americans. I'm not convinced that black people care more about blackface than white people do. I personally don't have a problem with blackface or whiteface but I wouldn't do it. There's not much to gain and I don't want to upset people. I felt uncomfortable enough dressing up as woman (I'm a European white guy) because I looked ridiculous, dressing as a black woman might be a bridge too far for me.
Self care is the thing that brings the most joy to my life so it's surprising how easy it is to let it slip. Daily meditation is huge. Being out in the wilderness and sunshine in general. Regular light exercise. Fruit and vegetables. Healthy relationships. Learning and teaching. None of these things are news to anyone. The challenge is to maintain a healthy routine.
It's kind of lame that they need to junk the entire apparatus after only a decade. I get that processor technology moves on apace but we already know it does that so why doesn't a universal architecture exist where nodes can be added at will?
