Item — HN Reader

Anyone reading thru these and filtering out the promotion spam should consider taking a look thru. All his Amazon orders, which mostly are uninteresting sure, but scattered in there are books and eBook purchases dealing with some relevant and interesting-in-context topics.

Also, interesting that this one got by him (unopened, unread, filtered from inbox) and the timing of it being near his final arrest (coincidence, but still) https://www.jmail.world/eml/0b80588f551f3d097695f1c9507b6572

https://www.jmail.world/thread/94b742a9202b9782dcfef7d2aaed1... and this https://www.jmail.world/thread/3a2c95682ec730d0062d6d1c5bcf5.... Why did he order these, for who?

He sure bought a lot of books. I found this that is not a book.

>for who

Indeed. Though the high school uniform thing seems to be a fairly mainstream fetish, with hormones raging at that time in people's lives. But granted, if it's not for your partner or (of age) mistress...

Not surprisingly Lolita was one of them:

wow great findings

We're also working to have a RAG system on Jemini so you can talk to the files. many of the files have been embedded into vectors thru turbopuffer.

RAG doesn't have to be vectors. You can also make a regular full text search and it's gonna be RAG.

Will do a shameless plug here of Skald: https://www.useskald.com/

You'll get the whole RAG/context layer going in an hour. Can self-host too if you prefer.

This is really impressive btw!

A little while ago Bloomberg published a list of his books. I created two lists on Goodreads containing these books, using Bloomberg as a source.

2007 -> 2017:

2018 -> 2019:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/237060.Epstein_s_Library...

You can only add 100 books in a Goodreads list so I had to create two. In the lists I linked back to the original Bloomberg article.

Looks like he didn't order any CS books. Maybe someone should recommend some to him /s

Yes, shoutout to our friend Aidan Dunlap for making an entire interface to see those Amazon orders! It's at https://www.jmail.world/jamazon

Jmail is the only place to see those Amazon order emails by the way! Those are from his Yahoo, which Bloomberg announced in September but Drop Site News actually let us release this month. It all came from https://ddosecrets.com/article/epstein-emails (redactions of the full dataset still taking place)

Awesome work guys. I am envious of anyone involved in the research (well besides those who are actually involved in the discovery process, those people's lives are not fun right now). If you're enlisting help please let me know! Keep up the good work.

Most of the Amazon orders look mundane, mostly books, what is weird is the quantity. It looks like it is all impulse purchases, and I guess that most of these will end up in the trash once it arrives, if it isn't picked up by someone else first.

I would have thought an quasi-billionaire like Epstein would have a personal concierge do the purchases for him. I certainly would if I was that rich. I would certainly not buy a shower head, I would show my concierge a picture of the shower I want and have him appoint a plumber so that I can have my shower the way I want it when I come back the next day. What's the point of being rich if that's to buy shower heads on Amazon?

Plenty of wealthy people are bad at delegating. The part that amazed me is him buying the cheap unpronounceable Amazon brands for medical equipment, like "DEDAKJ Oxygen Concentrator 2-9L/min Adjustable Portable Oxygen Machine for Home and Travel Use". I would've thought a billionaire would be surrounded by the best name brands in everything.

He also seemed bad at delegating his interior decorating to a professional, judging by the photos of his island.

The breathing apparatus makes me think Dennis Hopper as Frank in Blue Velvet. Chills.

His assistant may have used his account to place the order.
