Hey, I'm reading that and there's an apparent typo of "oral" which should be "aural":
"and I put together oral radar"
Edit: Also, some footnotes might be helpful.
There's a reference to problems with DC bias when all bits are the same; could be good to put that in contemporary context of 8b/10b codes etc.
The following words seem to be a reference to Christopher Strachey:
"Licklider: Yes, probably the first person who wrote about it was a young Britisher. He mentioned the concept at a computer meeting in Paris, I think in 1960 -- sponsored by UNESCO, maybe."
Ah thanks, I was wondering who that was! The interviewers just nod along when he says it.
Good idea on adding some footnotes like that. I'm trying to get a paper/interview/essay-reading group started (which is why I'm hosting the page) and some additional support material would likely be quite useful for folks in reading it.
