CS Table 4/9/19: The Autocrat's New Tool Kit

petersos — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 13:18:29 +0000

April 9 CS Table location: JRC 224B, noon.

This week we discuss "The Autocrat's New Tool Kit" by Richard Fontaine and Kara Frederick, which appeared in The Wall Street Journal on March 15, 2019.

Computer science table (CS Table) is a weekly meeting of Grinnell College community members (students, faculty, staff, etc.) interested in discussing topics related to computing and computer science. CS Table meets Tuesdays from 12:00–12:50pm. Most CS Tables for the spring semester will meet in JRC 224B inside the Marketplace, though a small number will be in an alternate location, so watch each week for the location. Contact the CS faculty for the weekly reading. Students on meal plans, faculty, and staff are expected to cover the cost of their meals. Visitors to the College and students not on meal plans can charge their meals to the department (sign in at the Marketplace front desk).
