Aaron and Melissa Dykes on How History is Constructed These Days


This was presumably one of their motivating arguments for the study: 

The way to establish public confidence in scientific authority is not to undermine it by pushing bullshit through organizations like the WHO and the US CDC. See the Virality Project final report, if you have the stomach for reading stuff like this. I don't.

See this British Library page: https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/areopagitica-by-john-milton-1644 and this article on censorship by Rachael Jolley: https://www.bl.uk/speaking-out/articles/censorship. Rachael Jolley is the editor-in-chief of Index on Censorship.

I am in a coffee shop and I am not permitted to view the comments on this video because YouTube thinks they contain "adult content" and the people who do the WiFi provision for the coffee shop have turned on Restricted Mode. 

From Google's description:

Videos that show potentially adult content won't be shown to viewers who have Restricted mode turned on.

  • Drugs and alcohol: Talking about drug use or abuse or drinking alcohol in videos.
  • Sexual situations: Overly detailed conversations about or depictions of sex or sexual activity. Some educational, straightforward content about sexual education, affection or identity may be shown in Restricted mode. Kissing or affection that's not overly sexualised or the focal point of the video may also be shown in Restricted mode.
  • Violence: Graphic descriptions of violence, violent acts, natural disasters and tragedies, or violence in the news.
  • Mature subjects: Videos that cover specific details about events related to terrorism, war, crime and political conflicts that resulted in death or serious injury. These videos won't be shown in Restricted mode, even if no graphic imagery is shown.
  • Profane and mature language: Inappropriate language, including profanity.
  • Incendiary and demeaning content: Video content that is gratuitously incendiary, inflammatory or demeaning towards an individual or group.

We know that there's a risk that some important content could be lost when we apply these rules without context. We value stories where individuals discuss their personal experiences and share their emotions. Sharing stories about facing discrimination, opening up about your sexuality and confronting or overcoming discrimination is what makes YouTube great. We'll work to make sure that those stories are included in Restricted mode. But, to be included, your content must follow the guidelines above.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the t...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
