Who stole page 69?
- natch 8y agoMy old boss who had some spooky jobs in the past (NSA, CIA) gave me a copy of a public paper from a researcher at one of those places. I noticed a page was missing from the body of the text. We were supposed to read parts of this paper to understand how to implement something but it felt like my boss was surprised I had noticed, as if he didn’t expect us to read fully. When I asked about the missing page he gave me a knowing smile and said “it’s not available” and contorted his mouth into an exaggerated mouth-clamped-shut position, all the time holding my eye for several seconds and smiling this very final “that’s all folks” look. I think sometime pages just go missing. And we may never know why.

- jonsen 8y agoThey are testing a new machine learning algorithm to see if it can infer that page from the other pages.
- Wonnk13 8y agoI would be very disappointed if it was anything other than an undergrad prank. I hope someone has it framed in a frat house.
- techdragon 8y agoAnyone got access to the original? Or an older print reproduction? I’ve seen enough poor quality old document scans in the nasa archives to chalk it up to mistakes, but without knowing what was on the page it’s hard to be sure.
