the article about suicide is really, really good, though. so strange, now, how our lives can be reconstructed through our online breadcrumbs.

Yes, it reminded me of a book a professor of mine wrote recently about a murder-suicide that occurred on our college campus when I was a senior. Lots of details pieced together -- and psychological insights gleaned -- through e-mails and instant-message transcripts.
― jaymc, Monday, 6 February 2012 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
psychological insights, or pontificating?

In both the New Yorker article and the book I read, there does tend to be a lot of extrapolation, but at least by reproducing the original sources, it's somewhat transparent about it.

Haven't read it yet. But I went to college with him and used to talk about spy novels and cold war paranoia movies when I saw him at the store he worked for. Crazy story.

I wish I had more access to my wife's iPad, because I get all jealous when you guys are talking about the new issue and I'm still waiting for the print edition to show up (yes I know I could read them online, but I refer reading either print or iPad on the train).

P psyched to have discovered that I can get it on my Nook every Monday for free, as a print subscriber. Looks great in this format (except the cartoons).

plagiarism piece is p lol, some of the quotes from the guy are classic
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
i did end up feeling somewhat sympathetic to the guy but i did lol that the last paragraph or two was basically like "oh and now he's writing a book about his struggles being a plagiarist," def. made me feel not as sympathetic b/c it made it all seem like grist for his fancy memoir

finally read the rutgers suicide story
roommate sounds like an asshole, but not really a manslaughterer or purveyor of hate crimes
kind of amazed that the two roommates appear to have communicated almost exclusively electronically, but then here we are
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
yah roommate came off as a super-gossipy & entitled kid but im thinking that is par for the course among 18 yr olds

I spent almost an entire semester communicating with my roommate solely through post-it notes and whiteboard.

In the Rutgers story, the webcam guy (who didn't post it) does come across as an erratic kid at first, prob confused about his own sexuality ("never known him to have a girl friend", etc etc from his fellow assholes). The first viewing (not a posting, but a gossip-hyped "experiment") scared him, he scared himself, basically. But then he tried to do it again, and set up a viewing party. All of this as loudly as possible online--bias intimidation? I dunno, of course the jury won't hear it just like we read it, the evidence might seem quite different in court. And the author depicts the mysterious aspects of suicide; what an ending to the article. But, even though Tyler did take it to his r.a., and was going to get another roommate, when he'd first discussed this with his friend online, he'd worried he'd end up with somebody even worse. And speaking of electronic breadcrumbs, he may have decided that, even if he started using motel rooms and got smarter online, all manner of shit could just go on and on. And in terms of death ny a thousand breadcrumbs, check this if you haven't already (Facebook is just the beginning, despite the title) http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/05/opinion/sunday/facebook-is-using-you.html?src=me&ref=general

LexisNexis has a product called Accurint for Law Enforcement, which gives government agents information about what people do on social networks.
First I've ever heard of Accurint and googling around doesn't bring up any articles or other information about it. What a tidbit to drop in the middle of a NYT article!
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 03:44 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think he was confused about his sexuality he prob just wasn't good w/ girls and stunts like this were just trying to get people to like him

Still pretty vague. Where does it pull this information from? Can it be used on anyone or do you need a warrant to look someone up? Is it all publicly available information?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 03:58 (twelve years ago) link
weird. my agency deals with lexisnexis to help validate the identities of reporters of information, but i didn't know they got into THAT kind of stuff. makes sense, i guess.
