Tabulating machine

And so I wanted to at that moment where interested Nazis have the blood quantum and the inspiration of US dispossession of Native peoples and the fingerprinting.

And the Nazis use of the Hollerith machine developed for the US census all come together.

But there was I mean, there were just too many stories to tell.

I always think with this book, I think there are these there are these I think of as strange attractors and IBM is one of them.

Jacquard is a textile maker who realized that if you punched holes into a stiff sheet of essentially cardboard, you could force the loom to weave a pattern without a human having to actually do the weaving.

And that was arguably the first programmable machine.

And the Jacquard loom is one of the inspirations for the Hollerith machine.

I mentioned earlier the Hollerith tabulating machines that were used by the Nazis and developed for the U.S. census.
