Do modern notebooks still have vibration sensors? I think old ones had them in the hard drives, to protect them from damage. But SSDs wouldn't need that anymore. In any case, I won…

Then why didn't the story break sooner?

You could easily click my account to see it wasn't created for the Epstein discussion. I am not defending Epstein. It's crazy that you read that into my comments. I use throwaway a…

"you might be surprised what people can get away with in plain sight." Like what? Other examples, apart from Epstein? Not sure if Epstein ever actually showed enslaved people in pl…

Somebody posted an excerpt from an article, saying it was "damning". It describes of a scene where Epstein visited Media Lab, accompanied by two young women. The context that he wa…

"Why two beautiful young women though - that seems not to be likely due to chance and surely enough to make any rational person wonder what they hell is going on?" What if a person…

"By implication that anyone not held directly against their will couldn't be a victim." I never said any such thing. I said the opposite thing: that it is possible a young assistan…

While I think in general it is also important to understand how such things work - how young girls are being exploited. However, here I didn't even talk about his sex exploits. I o…

I'm in no way defending Epstein in any way. It is horrifying how many people in this thread seem to be unable to understand that. I hope nobody of you works in the legal system. Yo…

The women could simply lead a normal life without Billionaire perks, like Billions of other women do. They are not forced to sell their bodies in exchange for a Billionaire lifesty…

That's not what it is about. It is about the story at a certain point of time in the past. Nobody is assuming Epsteins innocence today.

Paragraph said nothing about the girls being under 18. It says "young women". Also didn't say anything about his reputation (at the time the story took place).

My interest here was in how people judge other people, not in Epstein's exploits specifically. I don't see what I would gain from reading that article. I would be interested in wha…

I have no issues with him being forced out of his position. I have an issue, in this sub sub thread, with people mandating that I should have considered that head of Media Lab woul…

Sorry, but 1) is really the only valid indicator here (and it wasn't mentioned in the story). Otherwise you are denying attractive young women from Eastern Europe the ability to ge…

Even young East European models have to work somewhere (at least some of them). (Paragraph called them "young women", not "teens", btw). Should young women only be allowed to work …

I know about Epstein (superficially at least), I wanted to know what was damning about the quoted paragraph. Those are different things.

I read the first half of this: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/07/business/mit-media-lab-je... That is the original article this while comment thread is attached to. It doesn't men…

Because my comment was about the cited paragraph, not about Epstein. I had no reason to assume Epstein was already known as a sex trafficker when he visited MIT. It would be a very…

Misogynist: because you tend to assume negative things about women.

No, this wasn't about Epstein, but about the general claim of rich old men having power over women.

So you assume every time young women are staying with an old rich man, they have been extorted to do so? Sorry, that seems extremely unlikely. I find it shocking that you think tha…

Picking vulnerable girls - OK, manipulative. 14 year olds, too - but those "assistants" presumably were older. Threats - threats are threats, going beyond "manipulation".

Like what - what should I have googled for? "Why did MIT staff suspect Epstein's assistants to be sex trafficked"? I was replying to the comment about the "damning paragraph", so I…

I've read about the first half, which didn't mention that Epstein was already convicted for sex trafficking by the time he arrived at MIT in that story. It didn't occur to me that …
