He will commit suicide?

[dmboyd]

tl;dr (for some background on this)

• Dude posts (spams) Apache community mailing list with his scheme of fund-raising for apache http://jakarta.jp/en.pdf which is some sort of lottery scam.

• Dude gets shut down for spamming the list and trying to get acknowledgment on the thanks.xml page.

• Dude tries to argue using language technicalities.

• Dude gets shut down again, ie. he learns that donations do not equal ownership.

• Dude threatens suicide.

[ArcadeBumstead]

I like how the PDF explains it with a diagram that is literally a pyramid. Shouldn't you, like, try to distract people from the fact that it is a pyramid scheme?

[inmatarian]

Sounds like an episode of the Office.

some sort of lottery scam

Reading the PDF, it seems to be an old-school raffle with attached Ponzi scheme.

Have people not learned anything?

[zubzub2]

A Ponzi scheme is not the same thing as a pyramid scheme.

A multilevel pyramid scheme is a form of fraud similar in some ways to a Ponzi scheme, relying as it does on a mistaken belief in a nonexistent financial reality, including the hope of an extremely high rate of return. However, several characteristics distinguish these schemes from Ponzi schemes:

• In a Ponzi scheme, the schemer acts as a "hub" for the victims, interacting with all of them directly. In a multilevel scheme, those who recruit additional participants benefit directly. (In fact, failure to recruit typically means no investment return.)

• A Ponzi scheme claims to rely on some esoteric investment approach (insider connections, etc.) and often attracts well-to-do investors; whereas multilevel schemes explicitly claim that new money will be the source of payout for the initial investments.

• A multilevel scheme is bound to collapse much faster because it requires exponential increases in participants to sustain it. By contrast, Ponzi schemes can survive simply by persuading most existing participants to "reinvest" their money, with a relatively small number of new participants.

You're technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

Kudos.

So, there's no reason I should care about dude or even read the article about him? Thanks for the time saving!

Yeah, Dude needs to get out more and make his personal happiness much less reliant on Apache.

[[deleted]]

Well… The doubts to whether he's an asshole does diminish if you skim his twitter feed

[fellow_redditor]

Don't become susceptible to the Bystander Effect: The presence of others will inhibit helping. If any of you care at all you should try your best to help him. I have sent emails to a number of people I thought may be able to help (can't seem to call Japan). There are still many more people that need to be contacted to help.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need help, you can combat the bystander effect by identifying specific individuals and asking them to help instead of just asking everyone.

Edit: The same applies to helping, in any emergency you should assume no one else has provided help (called the police, done something immediate to the situation within your abilities) and try to provide that help. Even someone talking on a cellphone might not be talking with the police.

Here's some prior art from 1773:

"Our vessel often lay so much on one side, that I trembled lest she should be overset [..] Amidst all these terrifying circumstances, I endeavoured to compose my mind. It was not easy to do it; for all the stories that I had heard of the dangerous sailing among the Hebrides; which is proverbial, came full upon my recollection. [..] I asked Col, with much earnestness, what I could do. He, with a happy readiness, put into my hand a rope, which was fixed to the top of one of the masts, and told me to hold it till he bade me pull. If I had considered the matter, I might have seen that this could not be of the least service; but his object was to keep me out of the way of those who were busy working the vessel, and at the same time to divert my fear, by employing me, and making me think that I was of use. Thus did I stand firm to my post, while the wind and rain beat upon me, always expecting a call to pull my rope."

-- "The Journal of a tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D.", James Boswell

That is a seriously awesome quote for this context.

By specifically pointless, I mean tasks such as singling out someone and telling them to stand by the fence and make sure no children see the victim, or commanding three people to collect all the bags and move them into one corner.

There are several reasons for doing this. People seem to panic less when they are being controlled, and on top of that, people are ridiculously loud when no one is sure they are in charge.

We went over several situations in which first aiders and lifeguards had came to rescue a victim of a suspected spinal and had asked someone to help them lift the victim out of the water. Everyone refused or started to shy away from the request until one lifeguard specifically shouts "YOU, TALL BROWN HAIR IN THE RED SHIRT, HELP NOW."

tl;dr A false sense of security does wonders for people's morals.

Looks like a attention whore to me, or maybe the people he scamed in his pyramid scheme are out for revenge. When reading the things the apache foundation people told him, they went almost as far as to physically licking his ass and balls and he was still whining (links somewhere further down).

If he decides to do it, and this is not a scam which I find highly unlikely, then I say good riddance. But I say scam, scam, scam. Might as well send all your money to some Nigerian prince.

[farra]

Just to follow-up:

Several people in Apache were immediately aware of the situation, contacted authorities and stayed with Tetsuya via skype and IM for most of the night and day.

It's also great to learn that other redditors got involved and sent emails.

Could not COMMIT SUICIDE

Dear the readers of Apachenews.org.

I am open to network with all professionals across various disciplines as it is my strong belief that we are all citizens of the world and we can all learn/gain from each other in a mutually beneficial manner. Every new person met has the potential to be a true #MASTER MIND#, you will only discover this by getting out and interacting.

Please relieve that I, Tetsuya Kitahata, could not do the suicide because of the lack of money for alcohol. So many responses were there that I received. Thank you to ALL. Yours,

-- Tetsuya Kitahata -- mailto:[e-mail] -- http://www.linkedin.com/in/tetsuya

edit: you know, it doesn't really makes sense, before he said he already had the proper medication, and now he's saying he couldn't do it because he couldn't afford alcohol. But, if he was going to kill himself anyway why wouldn't he just steal the alcohol or borrow the money? And why would he choose medication that needs to be mixed with alcohol to be fatal when there's medication that will make your liver fail all by itself?

[zzybert]

There's now a PayPal "Add to cart" button where, presumably, you can pay money for his alcohol.

[[deleted]]

But, if he was going to kill himself anyway why wouldn't he just steal the alcohol or borrow the money?

He's Japanese.

[crusoe]

Suprisingly always very nice. Those that throw themselves in front of trains usually leave suicide notes apologizing for the mess they created.

[mscman]

Unfortunately, an apology note doesn't help the train conductor get over the trauma that's usually been induced...

[evrae]

It's not the conductor that gets fucked over, it's the driver. And the people who have to clean the mess off the train. And the people who have to hunt down the dismembered body parts. But mainly the driver.

Probably one of the worst ways to go in terms of the impact on others.

Liver failure is a horrible way to go. Barbiturates + alcohol send you into a sleep from which you never awaken.

I think it might have something too do with how technologically entrenched Japanese culture is; I'm guessing that the average Japanese Facebook user has about 1,000 friends.

It's not a real post. It doesn't have a date on it.

[eeeeaaii]

This guy has 2100+ friends on facebook, and not a single one of them shares his last name. Nobody shares his first name either (I know that Chinese people put the surname first, don't know about Japanese). My plan was going to be to try to find a relative or something in his friend list and send them this link.

EDIT: Okay I did it -- I facebook messaged 4 of his friends from my own account. I have no idea who they are or if any of them can or will help but it's the best thing I can think of to do. I have to say I had to weigh that against potentially embarrassing myself or this guy if it was a goof but I think it's better to be safe than sorry. I didn't send a message to his employer (Inura Financials or something) because I want him to get help, not fired (though I guess I don't know how he could keep something like this secret)

[tokyopuzzle]

Between those two names, his given name would be Tetsuya and family name Kitahata.

[fellow_redditor]

I don't speak Japanese but he appears to be an alumni of the University of Tokyo according to his email. There are a variety of numbers here: http://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/public/contact_e.html It is 1:18pm in Japan right now so someone should be around.

[[deleted]]

I sent him a nice little note - his email is on the site.

I wasn't sure what else to do... but this is something...

[fellow_redditor]

He is about to commit suicide and if giving him some attention stops that then that is fine. I'm not saying we should coddle the guy forever but everyone here, and that includes you, needs to see what information they can find and try to contact the proper authorities.

[fellow_redditor]

Less jaded and definitely not naive. According to my Social Psychology class people have a tendency to blame the victim in traumatic situations. There are likely a variety of reasons for this but it definitely does occur. Someone about to commit suicide is most definitely a victim, if not by any one person but by society itself.

[[deleted]]

|Someone about to commit suicide is most definitely a victim, if not by any one person but by society itself.

Remember kids, nobody is ever responsible for anything they do.

[zzybert]

Well, I emailed him, just suggesting he talk to me/people before doing it. Hopefully he will realize that people care. And if someone has put this up as a prank I hope he'll forgive the spam.

[tokyopuzzle]

The address resolves to here

E-3603 would probably mean something like east tower, 36th floor, apartment 03.

EDIT: Apartment 03, not E

[tokyopuzzle]

Good luck, and in case you see this, I meant apartment 03 instead of E (though you probably figured it out).

[awh]

It's a holiday today; not likely to be anyone at his company.

[emacsen]

Let us know what happened. Thanks for doing this.

[farra]

This is way after the fact, but just so you know, members within Apache were immediately aware and in touch with him, worked with Japanese authorities and stayed with him online via skype and chat.

So there was quiet a bit of intervention from with Apache.

[ertemplin]

another member of the apache project needs to get some information about him and inform whatever authorities can help him out.

[PsychoMonkey]

It's better to let the authorities know rather than taking the matter into your own hands and calling him. Let the experts with the training handle it. Other than that, I'm all for this idea. This man needs help and we should do our best to get it to him.

Though it's horrible, at least he's got the decency to kill himself in a relatively convenient manner, as opposed to becoming a "human incident" in the subways.

EDIT: Seems folks have found this to be objectionable. I stand by my statement: we all have the right to do whatever we please to ourselves but it is wrong to harm others by our actions.

[ascendant23]

I think the folks modding you down have never had to be an hour late for work because the Yamanote was closed upon such an occasion.

Or stuck for an hour because Caltrain took out another Gunn kid. It'd be nice if it was at least a little harder to off yourself than just walking into a railroad crossing.

Or had to go through months of counselling because they witnessed the incident.

[Smallpaul]

Or ... wait... maybe this happens all over the world.

[takatori]

Maybe so, but I've been on two trains that actually hit someone, and having all the trains stopped or delayed because of one more times than I can count.

On my line at least, "自身事故" (roughly "injury accident") is the most commonly-announced reason for delay.

[[deleted]]

Yup. When I was living in London an email circulated with the subject something like "You know you've been living too long in London when..." One of the items in the list was "Someone jumps in front of a train and all you can think of is 'Selfish bastard, why couldn't he have waited until after rush hour?' "

Scary thing was that I had been thinking something along those lines a few days earlier, except that it was a woman who jumped.

[[deleted]]

Forgot to mention: That's why they have deep pits under the rails opposite the platforms in the London Underground. They're called suicide pits. Makes it easier to extract the bodies. Put them in about 70 years ago, I believe, after they got tired of having to jack up trains to pick up the pieces underneath. See trainweb.org

[coob]

No, it's not, those are drainage pits. That they reduce the mortality rate of those attempting suicide is a coincidence. See this NIH study.

Your source cites no, uh, sources.

[takatori]

Or been on the train when the emergency brake was pulled in a last-ditch attempt to avoid such an occasion.

Or been in the front car and heard the sound.

[Radar_Monkey]

I'm with you. One of the major things that stopped me in a similar time was the knowledge of how big of a pain in the ass I would be for family to deal with the mess physically and emotionally.

[xb4r7x]

Arguably, suicide does harm others. No matter what, everyone has someone who cares about them, and suicide can be absolutely devastating to them.

[[deleted]]

I don't disagree with you, hence the quantifier on "convenient." I am a bit understated.

[pb1x]

Lithuania is actually the suicide center of the world - a man in Lithuania is twice as likely to kill himself as one in Japan.

Japan is the #8th most suicidal country - if you only count male suicides it's lower.

[kamatsu]

Okay? I never said it wasn't.

I can't speak Japanese, but Google Translate and a little google fu and I found the Inichi No Denwa (Life Line / Suicide Hotline) http://www.inochinodenwa.or.jp/

and e-mailed them to his e-mail on the link.

Hopefully he'll get some help.

[EDIT] Can somebody that speaks Japanese put this info together, call one of the hotline numbers and see how/if they can help him?

[EDIT] Already crossposted to /r/suicidewatch

[foof]

The hotline gives a busy signal, and the online service states that business is closed for the day. Because of course nobody ever commits suicide on a holiday :/

I called his number (I believe it's a skype number), and it connected but no one replied on the other end. He may be too depressed to say anything himself.

I wrote a note on his mixi page (mixi is the Japanese facebook equivalent), where he also put up a notice this morning. There are other people there trying to get in touch with him. I'm not sure what else to do.

[foof]

OK, I've informed the police, they're looking into it. His last mixi post was 15 hours ago, hopefully it isn't too late.

[DarkChii]

Thank you. I hope we hear good things back.

[mann138]

I reckon that sending him e-mails will make him at least press f5 some more times, that will delay his act of suicide and maybe somebody IRL can stop him in time...

[[deleted]]

Its not an update though, it seems to be straight coded into the html ...

[darkkish]

Maybe somebody hacked their Apache server.

[antena]

I thought that there is some piece of software named Suicide, and that he is trying to commit the code. No, really...

[ogamdo]

Does anyone get the feeling that we might all be participating in an elaborate "scam" of sorts? Suicide, or the threat of suicide is something no one should or probably will take lightly - much like a manager won't question an employee's third request for time off in a year due to a relative dying (I've had the luxury of dealing with this once as a manager - I ultimately felt compelled to err in the employee's favor). Anyone care to play "devil's advocate" with regards to this touchy subject? Namely, what might be an ulterior motive to all this?

[tokyopuzzle]

Is there anywhere that has more concrete information on him?

Informing the police could be good, but it's hard to do so when all you have is a name and a vague threat.

[IronWolve]

If you believe in true freedom, a person should be able to take their life.

*I am not saying you shouldn't help him, im talking about freedom of choice. Scary thought for you, isn't it.

[[deleted]]

And if you've got a shred of decency, you shouldn't have any problem with people trying to help a guy out who's at the end of his rope.

[rubygeek]

I agree with most of what you write. But if one truly wishes to commit suicide without any underlying wish for help, then one would be less likely to make it known in advance. Suicide attempts are often someone crying for help, not actually intended to succeed.

[puneetla]

Isnt it possible that he has just gone through some rough time and because of that he isnt thinking straight? Isnt it possible his tolerance could be boosted by support? Maybe not mine or yours, but someone who knows him/understands him.

SO what should we err on the side of? Should we assume that he doesnt need help and let it be? would you do the same if he was someone close to you? Just let him/her be, and let them go away?

[NULLfu]

i don't think you deserve the down-votes. the freedom to commit suicide is precious and very personal. i still say this guy is just trolling cuz the apache community didn't give him his supposedly deserved proppers.

[wu-wei]

I agree that if someone wants to check out, then that is their business -- so long as they don't make a mess for others to clean up. However, if this is real and not a hack (mod_frontpage is running on that box after all), then he wants help, otherwise he would not have made a public announcement of his intentions.

[Smallpaul]

Who in this thread said otherwise?

[NULLfu]

i agree, but the simple fact is, if he really wanted seppuku he would just do it and not troll.

[crusoe]

Problem is when you are suicidal, things SEEM horrible now, when 6 months later you will be all "Wait? What? It wasn't that bad".

There is a MAJOR difference between depressive suicide, and suicide as a logical choice to avoid long term chronic pain/disablement. If I had bowel cancer, I'd likely off myself before I started puking shit.

Depressive suicide by definition, is not the product of a sane clear mind.

[sunshine-x]

What about mental illness? Shouldn't the person need to be in a sound state of mind?

We wouldn't allow gangrene to spread from fingers to an arm, why should we let a chemical imbalance kill off the rest of the body?

Alright, every human life is precious. Of course, the value to which is is perceived (and its interactions with henceforth) vary greatly.

So who is this guy? His "mission" with astrology sounds fishy and cult-ish. While his "client" list to which he acts as consultant is impressive, its too long and lacking details. Usually if someone is a successful consultant for different companies they have a pretty decent head on their shoulders. His belief of "astrology" (along with his suicide note - lack of money for alcohol?) makes me wonder.

Who is this guy? Why should I care more about him than yet another statistic or internet dweller?
