Before and after of the "most improved" town in Scotland. White line on the old map represents the motorway that would later be built and is visible on the after photo!

As a DHer who doesn’t understand algorithms, @benmschmidt’s essay contextualised the Syuzhet thing to make it understandable. I don’t know how it works, but I know what it does and why it’s ineffective. Also “syuzhet” is Russian for plot.

Drucker makes the subject really engaging, and it’s scary to think about all the labour that goes into digitisation behind the scenes. Anyone who volunteers their time to digitise content for the internet, I salute them 🫡

Admire the involvement of academics in the movement for information transparency (Debates 2012. Nothing more ironic that when govts say uni education is well respected, then refuse to listen to those with higher education 🤷‍♀️
