Thank you! I have no idea what IOC stands for either, and appreciate the definition.
In other HN discussions there have regularly been divisive trolls who, in response to people asking what acronyms stand for, are vehemently opposed to defining acronyms, and who argue incessantly and thrown tantrums about how acronyms should not be defined because everyone should already know what they are, in their opinion, and people who don't show not be allowed to participate in the discussion. Where are they now, I wonder? And what possible motivations could they have?
I just don't understand that mindset. I suspect there's an overlap between them and the other gatekeeping trolls who regularly throw tantrums about accessibility, usability, diversity, equity, and inclusion, since it's a similar mindset.
