Trump has reversed course [1] "Trump reverses on Epstein files, says he’d sign bill calling for their release" [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcebHfZ2LbU [video][4 mins]

Given how strongly he was against it, this is pretty clearly a ploy. He could release them unilaterally if he hadn't just reopened the investigation which he himself shut down.

Yeah I have not a clue what is going on behind the scenes or why the previous admin did not release them.

Oh Cthulhu, this is like a periscope into a septic tank...

Yes almost no one has been held accountable for any of it, "weird"?

As "The Rest Is Politics" podcasts points out, the meagre consequences mostly came to Brits: Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew aka Andrew Mountbatten, and the former UK embassador to the US.

Americans..?

>Trump's official calendar for that week shows his activities included: Damn, Trump would have 100% listed his sex crimes on his official calendar. Case closed.

Yeah it's most likely he snuck out from the SS and had thanksgiving with a pedo while president. /s No reason to talk about anyone who actually corresponded with Epstein I guess.

Plenty of reason. Nab everyone. But deflecting criticism from the pedo in chief is a weird look.

Famously he asked the fbi to redact his name.

Well for one those other people are not the current president of the most powerful country in the world. But sure, lock all of them up, just don't ignore a few because they are too powerful.

Sure. What evidence would you like to use to lock Trump up? Point to an email in this dump or anything else. It's clear as day Trump cut ties when he found out who he was and was against him. Not so much for others.

> cut ties after learning he was poaching girls from Mar-a-Lago.

This is, uh, not the slam dunk you seem to think it is.

What if we extended this idea beyond one dataset to all discrete news events and entities: people, organizations, places. Just like here you could get a timeline of key events, a graph of connected entities, links to original documents. Newsrooms might already do this internally idk. This code might work as a foundation. I love that it's RDF.

This has been attempted many times. They all fail the same way. These general data models start to become useful and interesting at around a trillion edges, give or take an order of magnitude. A mature graph model would be at least a few orders of magnitude larger, even if you aggressively curated what went into it. This is a simple consequence of the cardinality of the different kinds of entities that are included i…

> It is a famously non-trivial computer science problem and much of the serious R&D was not done in public historically.

Could you point us to any public research on this issue? Or the history of the proprietary research? Just the names might help - maybe there are news articles, it's a section in someone's book, etc.

This is great work to show relationship and connections. The government gets scared from these types of efforts as there are many members who are extremely guilty of crimes related to this and others.

We need to expand on network mapping with data and areas as well.
