Gaza is the the grave yard of not only Palestinians, but the lie of a rules-based international order. Israel has been allowed to get away with - the backing on it's western allies - flagrant legal violations of international law, alongside accusations of Genocide by the ICJ.
Can't use the Mercury name Sir. It's a bank!
Why would an army not committing heinous acts deny access to western journalists and independent observers?
Why does a country that is apparently doing nothing wrong have the most advanced PR and propaganda machine in the world?
The UK and US cares more about shipping lanes than living breathing human beings in Gaza.
Accenture and other large SI firms are responsible for the majority of public and private sector complex and large software delivery projects. Many of them are resoundingly successful and deliver a great deal of value to businesses and their end users. Some do go wrong due to poor management and individual failures, but it would be unfair to tarnish entire industries based on these isolated incidents (full disclosure: I've worked for several consulting and SI firms in the past).
I believe Musk will increase Twitter's accountability, which will benefit the platform and its users.
As you originally suggested, the closest may be the CTO role. Do startups generally hire CTO's? And are CTO's expected to code?
I work in management consulting and design and assure complex IT systems for large public sector organisations, acting as an intermediary between business stakeholders and technical teams. The work requires strong communication skills, stakeholder management, commercial awareness, and technical skills. Solution architects typically have a background in software development and have extensive experience working in a variety of industries and technical domains. It's massively unfair to suggest that Solution architects just "talk about" things as suggested by another commenter. In the public sector especially, problems are big and unwieldy (think legacy systems, poor interoperability, multiple stakeholders, regulatory requirements, multitude of use cases, technical governance etc.).

I've worked as a Solution Architect for several years and have been considering roles at startups, but startups don't seem to hire Solution Architects? Is there another term for this position in startups, or do senior developers typically take on design responsibilities?
Invested in them and lost all my money
Classic Sonic games are based on momentum and not speed. The aim isn't to run through the level as soon as physically possible; speed is only one (small) attribute to the games overall qualities.
Working from home creates a new friction to collaboration that didn't exist previously. It is however a trade-off with employee well-being and recognising that people have lives and responsibilities outside of work.
Not cool for secure government departments who will look to use something else.

Most jobs seem to software development or marketing. As someone who is a Solution Architect it doesn't seem start-ups present much of an opportunity for me.

Several countries have now launched contract tracing apps, with other countries, like the UK, marred by overspend and delay in launching their own. If many of these are based on Google and Apple contract tracing protocols, why is there a need to develop an app per country? I could see benefits of skinning the apps and maybe links/email to local health advice, but over and above that, it seems...
This is great. Is there anyway to have it set vertically?
It's a UK wide average. Specific industries like banking will pay a markup. Also expect a 15-20% higher pay in London due to increased living costs.
These salaries sound astronomical compared to earning potential in UK companies. As an Architect, average salaries are around £64,000. Does anyone know how like for like roles pay in the UK for US companies? I can't see Amazon paying £200k for a software developer?

The best way I've found to learn powerpoint to identify 'good' powerpoint slides, and then try and recreate the slides yourself from scratch. My top tip in general is to use the Align and Distribute feature to manage the layout; you'll be surprised how much of a difference it makes!
