Everything in your style guide should be designed to connect with your audience in a specific way, but that’s only possible if you know the audience you’re trying to reach. You absolutely must build a target audience profile before you can create an effective style guide.

Accessibility pushes innovation, drives a more in-depth knowledge of your digital product, and gives you access to a massive group of people that were otherwise not able to use the product.
Re:Amazon generates millions of pounds of plastic waste
on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @08:01AM (#25429853)
That was a pretty much of a waste. That report estimates that Amazon was responsible for 465 million pounds of plastic packaging waste last year. But Amazon says that figure is overblown — by over 350 percent.

If we can genuinely recognise who we are now, one collective faction in life’s planetary tribe, where we are now, in the storm’s eye of our own creation, then what we must do becomes much much clearer and simpler. The journey ahead of us is not easy.

Re:Stone Age Women Hunted Big Game

Yes the research found the remains of a young woman at a 9,000-year-old burial site in Peru. She is buried with what appears to be a complete set of big-game hunting tools: spear points, scrapers, blades and more. “Big-game hunting” means the hunting of very large animals.

Some of those antibodies will circulate to the nasal mucosa and stand guard there, but it’s not clear how much of the antibody pool can be mobilized or how quickly. If the answer is not much, then viruses could bloom in the nose — and be sneezed or breathed out to infect others.

Re:Facial Recognition for Pigs
on Thursday December 10, 2020 @08:32AM (#25373484)
Pig facial recognition works in a similar way to human facial recognition, recording details of the pig’s eyes, ears, snout and bristles. Like humans, pigs do not all look alike! Audio recognition detect symptoms such as coughing and breathing difficulties while infra-red technology is used to detect the pig’s temperature. In addition to identifying the pig, the facial recognition camera also monitors the pig’s movements and can detect whether the pig is becoming lethargic or not eating. Each pig has its own archive file, which includes key details such as its age, weight, breed, exercise frequency and its feeding habits, often a good indicator of a pig’s health.

The use and cost of energy affects each of us every day of our lives. Many issues arise from the use of energy: greenhouse gas emissions, acid rain, climate change, dependency on depleting supplies of fossil fuels — especially from politically unstable regions of the world.

Stop thinking of them as restrictions that are holding you down; instead, try to see them as puzzles. And once those puzzles are solved, you’ll be left with something that’s much more creative had you never faced any obstacles.

Re:What Is Civil Conspiracy?
on Monday December 07, 2020 @08:27AM (#25331919)
Agree. In some cases, a conspiracy can also occur when an act is not illegal, per se, but becomes unlawful when committed by a group of people. The main difference between a civil conspiracy and a criminal conspiracy is that in a criminal conspiracy, the actors are intending to commit an act that is punishable under criminal laws. A civil conspiracy can occur when two or more people conspire to commit an act that is not criminal, but still unlawful, and another person is injured by the act.
Re:Understanding Online Shaming: What is it and is it Legal?
on Monday December 07, 2020 @08:21AM (#25331875)
Being in this technology generation, this topic is really relevant.
At best, shaming can seriously undermine a person’s self-esteem. At worst, someone can lose their job, jeopardise their reputation and suffer serious mental health problems such as depression.
For a young person, who may be less resilient than an adult, this could have a profound effect on their mental health and on their social lives. For children, the shaming doesn’t have to go global – it’s enough that they have been targeted by their fellow pupils at school for it to have a negative effect on them.

Re:Mindfulness Is Useless in a Pandemic
on Thursday December 03, 2020 @07:11AM (#25288097)
But in the other hand it also has a factor that helps us in these trying times. Mindfulness provides us with a means of cultivating greater and more objective awareness of our own emotional landscape, the emotions of others, and of external circumstance.
In doing so, it gives us more choice in how we respond to challenges we may face and the ability to more consciously choose where we place our attention.
