Although not exactly startup vs unlock passwords, you get similar functionality with fingerprints. 99% of unlocks can be done by touching a finger. The standard unlock code is only required after a restart or every 3-4 days.

True - but in a professional setting if you say "I'll call..." then that's it you're calling. You can't tag "..and raise you..." on the end - they would not accept the raise.

I think multiple "fulltime jobs" is extremely rare. Usually when people say they are working 2-3 jobs I believe they mean they get a couple of shifts a week from a couple of different employers. E.g. 16 hours a week at a coffee sh

In the physical world (think "breaking and entering"), any amount of force (e.g. Pushing an already partially open door) counts as "breaking". It isn't necessary to actually "break" anything. Edit: Of cour

My understanding is that the centralised model means the government will very quickly get a huge database of who meets whom, how often, and for how long. Even if you don't couple this with location data, it's still a privacy night

It really comes back to the testing. There could be a million people 20-44 who didn't get tested and didn't need to visit a hospital. If you only test people who arrive at a hospital with serious symptoms, it's not surprising
