Interesting Things on the Internet: August 3rd 2015
- The Myth of the Ethical Shopper. Ethical supply chains requires more than just voting with our wallets.
- Watch and listen to 8,500 programmes on the BBC website. Great to see the BBC cataloguing all of their content, and pointing to places where it's available online too!
- How much longer can food banks pick up the pieces?. The Government is consistently making us a less civilised country.
- You're already dead. The last link shows why we sorely need progressive politicians with some actual beliefs. This article, sadly, does a great job of showing how far the Labour party are from anything resembling that. Which is a disgrace.
- "The best way for doubters to control a questionable new technology is to embrace it, lest it remain wholly in the hands of enthusiasts who think there is nothing questionable about it.". Stewart Brand on new tech.
- On Moving Lines and Network Life. Good, level-headed article from Quinn Norton calling for better security and more regulation of software, among other things.
