Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

for the sneerclub fans, this vid about MS Satoshi was pretty funny. All the Adam Something videos are entertaining for a couch sneer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv4H4trnssc
Always a good sign when your big plan is virtually identical to L. Ron Hubbard's big plan in the 70s.
At least less people (allegedly) died in the remake plan.
for now
crypto in general has caused pretty large number of casualties, depending on how you count
Certainly, but I was specifically mentioning the woman who boarded the scientology boat, who has never been seen or heard of since who Scientology claims is fine, stop asking about her, she is doing great, better even! Allegedly. Like specific boat cult related things, not just a drill to head or locking down a hospital like the cryptocurrency deaths you hear about. (And even more indirectly than the hospital deaths, the slow cooking of the planet and upcoming climate disaster, welcome to the coolest summer of your life!)
about crypto deaths, i was thinking more in terms of sanctions evasion which fund iranian, nk and more recently russian weapon programs and continued existence of iranian morality police and such
Sure those too, I wasn't trying to make an all inclusive list, the shit is bad.
Which woman is that? I thought most of the "disappeared" of Scientology were the relatively high ranking sea org members who were purged after L Ron Hubbard died.

Oh yeah, she was disappeared after L.Ron died. By her husband, new Scientology supremo David Miscavige. I think she was last rumoured to be kept on one of Scientology's compounds but no one is totally sure - the LAPD did a welfare check on her back in 2013 but it turns out the fingerprints they took are all incomplete so it's difficult to tell if it was really her.
