My colleague Patricia Sauthoff drew my attention to this episode of the Cautionary Tales podcast by Tim Harford:
- https://omny.fm/shows/cautionary-tales-with-tim-harford/laser-versus-parchment-doomsday-for-the-disc I heartily recommend a listen to this talk, especially for anyone conducting or planning a research project with a significant digital component. The episode has technical and political dimensions and is very enjoyable, well-researched, and ultimately shocking. Thanks again, Patricia!
