5 Nov 2018: Walk out

Hello, this is the Co-op Digital newsletter - it looks at what's happening in the internet/digital world and how it's relevant to the Co-op, to retail businesses, and most importantly to people, communities and society. Thank you for reading and please do send ideas, questions, corrections etc to @rod on Twitter. If you have enjoyed reading please consider telling a friend about it!

Unintended consequences in checkoutless stores

In Amazon Go, no one thinks I'm stealing - “No one cared what I was doing. Is this what it feels like to shop when you're not black?”. The cameras don’t care what colour you are, removing the employees gets rid of the human biases. As with all automated systems, it’s possible though that new algorithmic biases are introduced, ones that are less visible to a shopper, or harder for them to get a handle on and influence. An economic look on this story and discrimination in shopping.

But! Maybe the humans will game your system if you’re doing checkoutless but haven’t built the full Amazon Go. Perhaps shoplifters will wander in, theatrically wave a mobile at some goods, and confidently strut out. It’s harder for staff to tell who is using the mobile app and who’s nicking stuff. (Some ways to fix that problem. Accounting: do what self-checkout stores do and accept more shrinkage because you now have reduced cost of checkout staff. Tickets please: have every shopper show receipt to a machine or a security on the way out (see Sam’s Club below). Expensive IT: tag all the produce and tie it to the purchasing system. Costco: club members get access and cheaper prices. Panopticon: tag and track the shoppers by having them check in through a barrier and using cameras, which is what Amazon Go does.)

Related: Sam’s Club (Walmart) is close to launching its own checkoutless store format - though it won’t be “just walk out”: when shoppers are ready to check out, they find a store associate and scan a barcode on their phone.

Luxury convenience stores

Hipster convenience stores in New York. And hipster office landlord WeWork plans to open 500 in-house WeMRKTs in the next few years, to maximise the productivity of the young workers in its office spaces.

Traceability and provenance

M&S has a good map of its factories and suppliers for own-label food, clothing and household products. “As a condition of trade, we require all direct suppliers and contracted factories to join the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex), a web-based database where suppliers disclose information (labour standards, health and safety, environmental) including self-assessments and site audit reports. Factory information and data is based on self-declared information disclosed on our internal order management systems and Sedex which is then reviewed by our specialist Regional Office teams located in the UK, Turkey, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, China, Cambodia and Vietnam.”

Google Walkout

Thousands of Google employees walked out of their jobs to register their discomfort with Google’s handling of harassment cases against a few of its former top brass. And here is a great list of articles about women working in tech, and being prevented from working.

Big Tech employees becoming politically activated is a good thing, and you wonder if this will lead to similar reactions to the effects Big Tech’s work has on wider society.

UK Budget: digital tax

The Treasury plans to introduce a 2% “digital services tax” on search engine, social media platforms and online marketplace revenue of global companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon.

Language

Weaponised design: “electronic systems whose designs either do not account for abusive application or whose user experiences directly empower attackers” and which is “facilitated by designers who are oblivious to the politics of digital infrastructure or consider their design practice output to be apolitical”. Interesting piece, though “weaponised design” seems a problematic term. You immediately think about intent, about who is turning the thing into a weapon. In one of the first examples in that piece, is it Snap, the journalist, the mobile phone, or even Google Maps who does the weaponising? When Russian botfarms spam political ads and fake news onto FB, is that “weaponising” a platform, or actually using a platform pretty much as it was designed? Maybe it is better if the language is simply “unintended consequences”.

Cryptocurrencies

The newsletter hasn’t talked about cryptocurrencies for a while. Bitcoin‘s whitepaper was published 10 years ago. This is quite young by the standards of other technology or money infrastructure: the internet hadn’t really got going when it was 10, and to be honest this newsletter isn’t sure how double-entry book-keeping or credit ledgers were doing a decade after 1494.

“Stablecoins” are becoming quite popular. The idea is that they have the advantages of digital assets (quick and easy to sub-divide infinitely and send somewhere, hard to double-spend) and the advantages of a fiat currency (predictable price, indirectly backed by a government). “A programmable dollar”, as this VC puts it. Weirdly though, plain old bitcoin has been less volatile than the stock markets of late, so maybe it too is maturing into a stable coin, pegged against the dollar.

But: “If bitcoin becomes more widely adopted, the huge amounts of electricity used to trade the cryptocurrency could push global temperatures above 2 degrees Celsius by 2033.”

UK gov is considering regulating crypto assets and banning crypto-based derivative products. “The FCA has made clear that in its view cryptoassets have no intrinsic value and investors should therefore be prepared to lose all the value they have put in”. An economist put that view in stronger terms when testifying to the senate: “Crypto is the mother of all scams and (now busted) bubbles while blockchain is the most over-hyped technology ever, no better than a spreadsheet/database”.

Finally, there is a new Wu-Tang Clan affiliated cryptocurrency, ODB coin. (Had ODB still been with us, he’d have told his son to give it a better name, Ol’ Dirty Blockcoin or something like that.)

Psychoanalytic tool

Musk tweeted that he’s deleted his titles. Obviously that doesn’t mean that he’s *actually* resigned as CEO etc, just that he had someone delete <p>CEO</p> from the website (or maybe he does the front-end code himself!). He sometimes gets himself into trouble with the SEC for using Special Terms like “funding secured”, but generally it’s safer to see everything he does on Twitter as an unfiltered internal monologue made public, prompting the thought that maybe Twitter could be used as a psychoanalytic tool. Related: Musk is the id of Silicon Valley.

Oooooh... geology related question.... This is gonna get a bit lengthy... sorry...

As has been alluded to by many people Limestone itself is an incredibly useful stone to have around.

Limestone just on its own:

Phosophorous nodules - used for fertiliser - particularly where limestone has been dissolved and leaves behind concentrated phosophorous - As at Bone Valley in Florida

Limestone itself is also often a component of fertilizers, especially to balance out acidic soils

Lime Mortar and Lime cement (especially if you can mix it with volcanic ash) as has already been mentioned

Limestone is also just commonly used as a building material itself or for statuary

Limestone has been used to suppress the danger of explosions in coal mining

It’s used in blast furnaces as a flux used for smelting iron, lead, and copper

Metals Deposits Tied to Limestone: There are also many metal deposits that are associated with limestone most of these form through similar processes and are due to the fact that limestone is a base and therefore will react with a neutralize acidic fluids

(i.e. Deep in the earth hot, usually acidic fluids carrying metals have traveled from some source - can be magma chambers, deeply buried sediments, oceanic rifting etc. - and these metal-bearing fluids rise into the limestone and due to the change in pH (and often temperature) can’t carry the metals dissolved anymore because the chemistry has changed and drop them out into the limestone.

So, enough geology nerding what metals and deposits are found in Limestones, then?

Lead and Zinc Veining - Found as veins in limestone or marble often also associated with some copper (Example Mendip Hills). Source of metals could be from nearby igneous rocks OR fluids escaping from deeply buried heated sediments.

Lead and Zinc Mississippian Type - Occurs as large blob-like or pipe-like replacement of the limestone itself with lead-zinc sulfide-bearing minerals and often also contains significant silver. (Example Gay’s River Deposit - yes I chose to use it as an example because of its name). Key feature is that there are no associated igneous rocks.

Skarn Deposits - As a simplification requires a nearby igneous rock to provide the mineralising fluids. Skarn, can be very, very pretty and is one of those deposits that can contain a wide variety of metals so much so that we have about 7 different classifications: 

Iron (iron can occur as magnetite - known as magnetite skarns - so compasses and other applications as well as the iron! Example Eagle Mountain, California, USA), 

Copper (Example Twin Buttes, Arizona, USA)

Molybdenum - rare (Example: Azegour Mine, Morocco)

Tungsten (Example Cantung, NWT, Canada), 

Zinc-lead (Santa Eulalia, Mexico - Actually I just highly recommend looking up the description of the whole Santa Eulalia District because you might find it’s pretty darn close to your description including the karst character and has a wide variety of metals)

Tin (Example: Moina, Tasmania, Australia)

Gold (Example: Nickel Plate and Hedley-Mascot B.C., Canada)

(This is not an exhaustive list... just some that are explicitly tied to the presence of limestone... you could also have porphyry deposits, intrusive related deposits, SEDEX etc.)

This is long already so I’ll stop now, but Wikipedia is really good generally at historical and modern uses for various metals and such and now you have some of the terminology for deposit types... though a lot of the writing uses a lot of jargon.  BUT if anyone wants more details or has questions about any of this I am ALWAYS down to geology nerd out and I can try to keep the jargon limited.

:D

Ok, so time to Crowdsource.

The scenario is this;

Your location? 

A large area of land in a subtropical biome which is dominated by a “stone forest,” which is basically a limestone shelf that has had thousands of interlocking canyons, some hundreds of feet deep, carved into it by rain and meltwater. 

On one side, tall mountain ranges rise, on most of the rest you have it opening to a shallow ocean, on the last it opens to foothills. 

Your tech/tools? 

Medieval, late 14th, early 15th century at best.

The caveat?

You have access to production of what is basically orb weaver spider silk. Each individual member can produce up to 1 ounce of silk thread every 15 days. 

If you have any ideas, be it agriculture, clothing, what kind of adaptations the people in question would have, etc, please feel free to posit ideas.

SEDEX Certification – Key steps for implementation SEDEX

The supply chain is one of the most important links when a business depends on outsourcing. It becomes quite necessary to ensure that the supplier with whom we are partnering is functioning in an ethical manner. A standardized framework hence becomes one of the most effective ways to monitor functioning at the supplier’s site and also helps build a transparent supply chain. Let us get a deeper understanding of what SEDEX is.

SEDEX: An Overview

SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) is a global non-profit organization that enables businesses to work together to better manage their social and environmental performance, and improve working conditions throughout the supply chain globally.

Founded in 2001 by a group of retailers, it aims to simplify the path burdening the suppliers by providing a web-based database, which enables suppliers to share ethical data, such as ethical audit reports, with their customers. Likewise, customers can keep track of their suppliers and view the ethical reports shared with them.

For a standardized framework of audits, SEDEX uses its own social auditing methodology named SMETA (SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit). SMETA enables businesses to assess their sites and suppliers to understand working conditions in their supply chain. During an audit the site is assessed based on the organization’s standards of labor, health and safety, environment and business ethics. These 4 factors are considered the foundational elements of SEDEX.

There are 2 types of audits one can opt for under SMETA: 2 Pillar Audit & 4 Pillar Audit

A SMETA-2 Pillar Audit comprises of

Labour Standards

Health and Safety

A SMETA-4 Pillar audit comprises of

Labour Standards

Health and Safety

Environment Ethics (detailed)

Business Ethics

All four pillars count on legal requirements, international standards and good practice. The added 2 pillars may not be required by all, hence it is very crucial for the auditors to know when these additional modules are required.

There are 3 categories of SEDEX memberships which one can opt for, based on their functioning:

SEDEX is Applicable to

SEDEX is applicable to all the industries irrespective of their processes, but it is most useful in industries where a lot of man power is employed & there are possibilities of social injustice. Some of such industries are as follows:

Garments and Textile Industries

Pharmaceutical Industries

Oil and Natural Gas Industries

Heavy Machine Manufacturing Industries

Automobile Manufacturing Companies

Construction Industries

Key steps for implementation

Implementation of SEDEX will mean that you comply with the following criteria which includes:

Legal Compliance and Management

Forced Labour

Wages & Benefits

Hours of Work

Freedom of Association

Child Labour

Discrimination

Abuse of Labour

Health & Safety
