    1. reuse of an existing structure for a new function is another thing in common between biological and technological evolution. It is called exaptation

      Also in organisational change, and social learning landscapes. The route to it is often narrative work in the #sc sense I intuit. Detecting the opportunities for it is macroscopic in essence I intuit. [[Macroscope 20090702120700]]

    1. It’s clear that we need to make the switch to clean, reliable sources of renewable energy like solar and wind. Unlike fossil fuels, renewables don’t add greenhouse gases to our atmosphere.

      We need to change to renewable energy

    2. Humans started harnessing fossil fuels on a massive scale during the Industrial Revolution.

      Where fossil fuels started out

    3. When we burn these fossil fuels, the carbon combines with oxygen to make carbon dioxide. This extra carbon dioxide (and other GHGs like methane) traps more and more heat in our atmosphere.

      How we end up making carbon dioxide

    1. 4.5:1

      Should say 3:1 for large-scale text

    2. How to Test

      Nothing on alt text being too long or providing long descriptions.

    3. or through other visual (non-color) differentiation (shape, position, size)

      Using shape, position, and size still excludes those with visual disabilities

    1. For example, if there are multiple "Submit" buttons on a screen, the Name for each must be unique

      This seems questionable. If there are "edit" buttons beside each element in a list of elements, must they all have different names, or can their function be inferred from context? I don't think WCAG requires this.

    2. Check each input form field for an ID and a corresponding LABEL or a descriptive TITLE. Fieldset and Legend may be used for grouping and associating two instructions to one input field.

      Does this mean wrapping an edit field with a label is not sufficient? Do such labels need a for attribute pointing to the id of the field?

    3. A web page that has multiple form controls (e.g. buttons) with the same visual label must include unique identifiers that describe their unique purpose.

      This seems questionable. If there are "Add" buttons beside each element in a list of elements, must they all have different names, or can their function be inferred from context? I don't think WCAG requires this.
