@bstacey greetings, Internet physicist friend! i was in your neck of the woods a week ago for the first time in my adult life...LOVED IT!
@maron Cool! What was the occasion?
@bstacey A group I'm on called Design For Diversity...we're curating resources on how to make OSs/curriculums/databases/algorithms/education around all these things more equitable. (And while there I hung around Lord Hobo a bit. Great joint).
@maron Hi welcome!
@bgcarlisle Hullo! Glad everything's back up and running :)
@maron Yeah that was an adventure :-S
@maron Hello Debbie, I am a Phd student studying beliefs, memes and data science. I'm taking a algorithms course now
@Gabefair Hi there! Wow! Your programme sounds so interesting. I just taught a post truth module yesterday for my course..have you seen any recent stuff by Alice Marwick?
@Gabefair And what specific apps/apparatuses do you examine (e.g. reddit? twitter? socialbots?..)
@maron Hello, nice to meet you.
@maron Hello!
