I don’t think I know anyone remotely rich enough for this to be a concern.

Be aware that not everyone in the list has to be involved. Daniel Stenberg lead dev of curl is in there multiple times. I believe as part of the provided licenses.

Do read WHY they are mentionned, though. Most of his critics are mentionned a lot, and in that case it’s a good thing.

Motherfuckers…

My post about this tool got removed from the community for no reason.

the tool, called EpsteIn—as in, a mash up of Epstein and LinkedIn

A better mashup might have been “SteptIn”.

For reference, everyone is 3rd degree at a minimum.

• 1st - You’re directly connected with them
• 2nd - The person is connected with a person you’re a 1st degree connection with
• 3rd - People that are not connected to any 1st or 2nd degree connections (I.e. everyone else)

Edit: the description above is how linked in does it, not Kevin Bacon degrees. So if you try to find 3rd degree connections to Epstein on LI, you’re basically going to return everyone on the platform.

Is there a tool that crunches the entirety of the documents and sorts the individual words by frequency? For example, doing it the stupid way (semi-manually) I copied OP’s article into Word and replaced every space with a page break to turn the entire article into a one-word-per-line list, then plugged that into Excel and sorted alphabetically, then manually counted and deleted the repeats. Then sorted those to put the most frequent on top.

This reduced the 525 word article down to a list of 284 individual words. If I added another article to this list, the number of entries would only be increased by the number of words in the 2nd article that didn’t appear in the first one, so basically as more and more articles are added, the number of unique additions from each would be fewer and fewer. Do this to a thousands-of-pages of documents like the Epstein files, and you could instantly condense like dozens of pages worth of just the word “the” down to a single entry, making the entirety of the documents much easier to skim for highlights… like, if the word ‘velociraptor’ was just randomly hidden in the article, most readers would probably skim right passed it; but in the list below it would stand out like a sore thumb, prompting a targeted search in the full document for context. Especially if we could flag words as not interesting, and like click to knock “the” “of” “and” etc off the list.

…maybe a project for someone who actually knows what they’re doing… my skills hit a brick wall after things like ‘find and replace’ in Word, but you get the gist.
