PoC stands for People of Colour. Took me a while to work that out. I went off on a tangent trying to work out the tactics clothing manufacturers use to increase a metric called PoC.

Perhaps I should change my framing on this. Yes there are structures available able to subvert the system. Both do need to be worked on, but focusing on one without the other results in diminishing returns. We've focused on the social

With UBI, they should have enough to still be able to conduct themselves. If unreasonable expenses are still being hoisted on them, then that's still an economic issue. In other words, people should be empowered economically. Being fir

Not everyone is or wants to be an artist. As my sibling comment states, the market takes care of this just fine. There won't be a sudden transfer to people not caring about money or social status. Plenty of people will still go for job

I agree. For quite some time, I've told people that I no longer pay attention to the social left, when it is the economic side of left politics that makes the greatest difference, even to social issues. If you ensure that people who ar

Much of this article discusses the content of the books. The majority in the top section is pretty neutral. Then the final 3 or 4 paragraphs does some token disagreement that I feel really should be discussed more, particularly as I may (li

No, but some recent versions of Android allow you to disable camera access to specific apps. Unfortunately, always ask every time isn't enough of an option. Simply don't use apps that refuse to work without the camera permission.

Now that you've said it, I'm thinking, so we still have homeopathy and other stuff despite being the most advanced we've ever been.

While basically all the omniviolence scenarios would induce the state to trust individuals less, which is kind of the thrust of the article, climate change can still induce more frequent heatwaves and make things difficult for more people.

I would also argue that #2 was already being said 7 years ago. Further, growth is not always constant growth, let alone exponential growth. It may plateau, and then grow again further down the track after other problems (eg storage) are sol

Until we get more details about what these workplace standards are, the bigger news is still that IBM bought them, and Red Hat is showing the picture of being dismantled.

Pretty much. It means that each cell has 2^5 (32) distinct voltage ranges for each potential 5 bit combination.

I think this is a symptom of a few things: dehomogenisation of interests and urban sprawl, exacerbated by income requirements and children. From my understanding: In the country, you integrate, or you're isolated. It's pretty much

Not like you'd get anywhere any faster when there's traffic around. Punctuality is a sign of planning, and that's a desirable trait, so I don't know about no one.

Yeah I did consider a paid service, but that's when I was thinking about the information wants to be free issue. Unless you've got a good legal team, what do you do? I was still trying to think of a way around it, perhaps you coul

I would love for more things like this. We do have this for phones at least with their teardowns. However appliances aren't so "hot". Might be more difficult to make a business out of it, particularly because "informatio

Your final point misses the parent's point completely. Yes it uses energy, but cold areas use more. It might also be worth mentioning that the use of boilers may be dirtier than going through a centralised burner, as the economies of s

Safer for families? How about not advertising to children whose decision making process is very much compromised, in not being formed yet? Any attempt to claim they are making things "safer" is simply lip service to a cause that t

As a write once read many system, the abandonment of systemd isn't a big deal I suspect. You don't write to the system area and expect it to persist, and so making modifications to the init system basically isn't going to hap

You mean like my country, where plain packaged cigarettes came into effect? I'm not sure where you're getting negligible from. Anyone who smokes has stigma attached to them and the only ones still smoking are those who have too li

With enough time and money, I don't see why this is out of the question. Time already changes all norms, so the money just speeds things up. I can absolutely see my society being changed, and I along with it. Smoking has had buckets of

That's not necessarily true. If it is on page Javascript tracking, the script could well snoop the password before it is even in transit. This is perhaps still better than a MitM as at least the bank has had some chance to vet the vend
