So was it Karpeles or one of his employees?
- pan69 12y agoI think that's what what the term "inside job" suggests.
- DanBC 12y agoYes, but which of "karpeles" or "employee" was it?

- gamegoblin 12y agoI think pan69 parsed the sentence as Was the insider in the set {Karpeles, Employee} Which is true by definition. Instead of Which element of the set {Karpeles, Employee} satisfies the condition (==insider) Which is what zzleeper was intending. This is why we should implement "xor" in natural language :D Now for the wars on if it's pronounced "zor" or "ex-or".
- baddox 12y agoXOR wouldn't help much in this case. The answer to "Was the culprit A XOR B?" would still be interpreted such that the answer is a Yes or No.
- gamegoblin 12y agoTrue. It's more like "For condition C, I assert that a single element of set S satisfies C. Which element is it?" This could be useful for situations like: Question: "Was it night or day?" Logician's Answer: "Yes"

- dandelany 12y agoTell me again why we need a new linguistic construction when we have the word "which"? "So which was it, Karpeles or one of his employees?" "Which was it, night or day?"
- jonknee 12y agoIt seems like he would have been the only one in the position to do it (the employees were kept in the dark about a lot of things).
- dagw 12y agoMost employees at most companies have pretty good grasp of things they're officially "kept in the dark" about.
- krazydad 12y agoLooking at the graph near the end of the article, I'd be curious to know who (Karpeles or other?) took a family vacation from January 3rd to 14th...
- ekianjo 12y agoThat should be relatively easy for the investigators to find that out.
