summary
Presents a concrete framework of 7 habits to sustain diverse IoT and tech communities, with specific claims: clinical trials use genes of European descent 96% of the time and Facebook has 81 Black employees out of 5,500 (<2%). Demonstrates inequality with a built MVP game — a physical privileged bucket and throwing challenge — to show environmental barriers, and cites Amsterdam’s suspended bike circle as an example to invest in infrastructure that actually works.
