The supply chain collapse due to COVID19 and the EVERGIVEN situation is starting to manifest itself. ics-shipping.org/press-release/…
This graphic shows days of delay in shipping between Asia and Europe.
Experts are recommending you buy your Christmas presents now, because come November/December it will be difficult to get the products you are looking for.
Companies like Costco and IKEA are taking drastic measures to work around the problem. Costco is leasing their own container ships, and IKEA is setting up rail transport of goods from Asia to Europe.

Companies are seeing an increase of 600% or more in the cost of transporting a shipping container. That cost will eventually transfer directly to the consumer. cnn.com/2021/09/08/bus…

Let's talk about what happened at #Metrotown in #Burnaby British Columbia yesterday and why it is far more serious than a "prank." Background: Police were called to an active shooter and possible pipe bomb. People were evacuated. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
The mall is one of the biggest in Canada. It's actually two malls which merged some years ago into one gigantic mega mall. Yesterday afternoon, reports came in of shots fired, and videos of panicked people running out of the mall while heavily armed police entered were shared.
This mall is also a central transit hub. Bus service and SkyTrain service was halted as the police incident unfolded.

10 years ago today, a far-right terrorist murdered 77 people in Oslo and on Utøya in Norway. Most of the victims were teenagers at a summer camp. The toxic ideologies and hate speech the terrorist adhered to still flourish online. In fact, they are more prevalent today.
On the 10th anniversary of one of the worst terror attacks in Europe since World War II, international media is largely silent. It's difficult to tell the story of a white christian right-wing terrorist when all people want to hear is that terrorism is something other do to them.
The world did not learn from the Norway attacks. The online echo chambers inside which the terrorist got radicalized are more powerful than ever, and people are being radicalized quicker than ever.

Abolish billionaires. Nobody needs, or can even use, that much money. There should be an upper limit on wealth. Once you hit $100 million or whatever, anything above that is automatically put towards healthcare, education, and housing.
It's difficult to fully comprehend just how much money one billion dollars is, so let me give you a reference:
One billion is one thousand million.
1,000,000,000
Let's say my friend Catherine who is 35 found a bag with $1 billion in the forest one day. And let's say she lives to 100.
If she spent $25,000 every day for the rest of her life, she'd still have $406 MILLION dollars LEFT on her hundredth birthday.

10 years ago, I woke up to the news a terrorist had tried to kill my friends. Two hours later, teens at a summer camp on an island started tweeting: someone was shooting at them.
By the end of the day the terrorist had murdered 77 people, most of them teenagers aged 14-18. He considered them traitors to the country for being members of the social democratic Labour party and assigned himself the duty of carrying out their death sentence.
10 years ago this week I spent the day online in a panicked state, trying to contact my friends and correcting the terribly misinformed assumptions broadcast over social media and North American news about who the terrorist might be.

This story illustrates the complexities of designing modern technology to augment human interaction. It's not enough that it works; potential use cases and their consequences must be considered, and guidelines established to avoid harm #techethics #ethics mercurynews.com/2019/03/08/fre…
Telemedicine is a challenging subject exposing many of the #ethics, social, and technology issues we're going to be facing in the near future.
The hospital my parents worked at explored telemedicine over video link in the mid-1990s. The problem they we're designing for was how to provide access to expert and specialist treatment in remote areas without having to physically ship a doctor, often by helicopter.

We need to have a conversation about #OpenSource and equity. Particularly, we need to talk about how "decisions are made by those who show up" should be amended to read "decisions are made by those who CAN AFFORD to show up" and what that means for our industry.
The origins of the Open Source movement are rooted in equity + distribution of power: Rather than large corporations controlling both the product, the tooling, and who gets to work on either, the user has full autonomy to create, contribute, distribute, and maintain everything.
This is built on an underlying assumption that everyone has equal ability and availability to actually take part in the Open Source community. From this stems the idea of open source software/hardware being built by the people who use it. That's no longer true in my opinion.
