SBF has used at least one cpu attached to a network on the critical path of his actions. Will this be enough to cause people to be stupid enough to let his powerful and connected family and friends get him off light? People in positions of power seem to get awfully stupid when there's a cpu attached to the network on the critical path.
Madoff, no cpu on the network on the critical path. All understandable and could have been done the same with paper and a filing cabinet.
SBF - so the code actually does (brain shuts down).
Interesting to see if this is so extreme people will keep thinking through the part where they want to stop because "computer"

- harry8 4y agoEven just the mere mention of the involvement of a network attched cpu seems to be able to cause the failure of all forms of critical reasoning in many people. See above.
- _dain_ 4y agoi had to re-read what you were saying about 5 times before i understood your point, i honestly thought you were some kind of schizophrenic with the way you phrased it and kept repeating the same awkward term -- edit: I'm rate-limited so I can't respond to your other reply. I'm saying that your comment looks like something a crazy person would write and I had a hard time parsing it. this is like a garden-path sentence: > SBF has used at least one cpu attached to a network on the critical path of his actions. Will this be enough to cause people to be stupid enough to let his powerful and connected family and friends get him off light? People in positions of power seem to get awfully stupid when there's a cpu attached to the network on the critical path. i thought you were making some kind of paranoid implication about the intel management engine or mind control or something. and I replied because I thought you should know that what you wrote wasn't clear on the first, second, third, and fourth readings.
- harry8 4y agoSorry, what is your point? What are you trying to contribute?
- lbotos 4y agoI’m not dain, but your choice of language is confusing. You are attempting to communicate on the internet and you are not being easily understood. It’s your choice if you’d like more people to understand you or not.
- harry8 4y agoYou didn't understand and now you do. I guess those who upvoted the original comment also did? It's taken a back and fourth of 5 comments to establish that clearly. BTW I'm not sure using a mental illness as a superfluous pejorative is a useful approach but ymmv.
- rippercushions 4y ago> SBF has used at least one cpu attached to a network on the critical path of his actions. I've read that sentence of yours at least 5 times now and it still makes no sense to me. Would you care to elucidate?
- _dain_ 4y agoOP was using "cpu attached to a network" to mean "computer" and "critical path of his actions" as something like "business model". he's saying that politicians, journalists, regulators, etc, got bamboozled by what was at root a very ordinary fraud, because it was enabled by fancy technology.
- sgammon 4y ago? this makes no sense?
