there are some odd ones that don't work, e.g. in the current draft on page 51.

We need to do a global pass on this.

also, related remark about footnotes from R Alexander:

There are only two pages of citations. While possible this really is all the material that the authors draw on, it might be that some R packages are inadvertently not being cited, and that the decision to include links to books in footnotes, rather than as citations (e.g. p. 122 but other places also) is artificially reducing the number of citations.

p2: the trc.ca link no longer works
p41: oracle link doesnt go to DB, it goes to oracle company
p50 and 59: twitter link needs https, it currently links to local file
p51: broken url
p60: link has parentheses
p126: broken url
p297: links inconsistent https:// vs https://www.
p330: inconsistent http:// vs https://

many (most) of these footnotes should be citations instead, as R Alexander mentioned
