Evolution is highly uneven with innovation events where new languages are created out of improved combinations of different structural components belonging to previous languages. These radiation events occur in a bursty pattern & are tied to novel technological and social niches. – at Halifax, Nova Scotia
Does technology evolve as biology? In many ways, it does. Is it continuous or occurs in bursts? By analyzing the evolution of programming languages with @svalver we found the answer. Research started at @sfiscience one of the best papers of @CSLab_UPF royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

1/ Many people have been saying "thank you" to me for working on #covid19 response
I've been thinking about this a lot
There is a lady who cleans the cubicle where I have been working each night- she's there later than I am

How do you respond to a terrifying natural and political disaster like Hurricane Maria? If you're @AyadeLeon, you write a feminist heist novel. #PSIdeas bit.ly/2YeSgx3 @nberlat

Even though some of these hosts are not always there in good faith, I think a lot of people tune into this network in good faith.

This Guardian article has been shared 95,000 times, exposing 'all the data Facebook & Google have on you'.
But it doesn't mention at all that the article itself uses:
- Four sets of Facebook tracking.
- Nine sets of Google tracking.
- Two Google ads, using all that data.
