What this fixes
Fixes #49. In
episodes/intro.md, the lesson quotes Karan Praharaj fromhttps://towardsdatascience.com/how-are-algorithms-biased-8449406aaa83. That URL now returns HTTP 404("Page not found | Towards Data Science"), so learners cannot reach the source of the quote. The issue
notes that the article is still published at its
medium.com/data-scienceaddress, and that page isHTTP 200 with the same author, title and quoted sentence.
Reproduction: a browser-like GET of the
towardsdatascience.comURL returns 404. (From this network,curlgets 403 from Medium's bot protection, so the 404 was confirmed with a browser-like fetch.)Root cause
episodes/intro.md:74links to the retiredtowardsdatascience.comhost for this article.Fix
Point the link at
https://medium.com/data-science/how-are-algorithms-biased-8449406aaa83, the URLgiven in the issue. Link text and the quotation are unchanged.
Verification

R and pandoc are not installed in this environment, sothe site build itself could not be run locally; the change is a URL-only edit in Markdown.
Risk / rollback
One URL in one file. Reverting the commit restores the previous link.
