You would think competent engineering and tech risk management is done of critical infrastructure. Microslop thinks differently, the all-mighty dollar is more important. And, to be fair, unless they continue to screw up this badly, nothing is going to happen to them. Their customer population is even more incompetent than they are.

That does not make it any better. It just means there is another area they are incompetent in. The main reason why you run tests like this and design and roll out any automatism that can take down a server very carefully is exactly because you may have other things that can come crashing down if you mess this up. Oh, and look, exactly that happened.

This is simply another piece of hard evidence that Microslop cannot hack reliable infrastructure. Smart people already knew that, but apparently more evidence is needed before the thick-skulled Microlop admirers notice something.

Who do you think will care for the elderly? Think I’m complaining because math test next week? If you think the kids are dumb now by comparison, just wait until they birth a Magnificent idiot replacement. Or seven. Billion.

By all means, sit back and defend the status quo with silence. It’s how WFH was destroyed in favor of Hypocritical Greed justifying a polluting commute to a pointless office building, because that’s a lovely 401k full of corrupt commercially-priced dirt you’ve got in your retirement portfolio..and it would be a shame if someone stayed at home and something happened to our investments. FUCK going Green. Our commercial real estate corruption is more valuable than commute pollution.

Speak up now. Boldly. Your kids will thank you for at least trying to fight for their children’s education. If Google AI is that necessary in school, then we apparently don’t need educators anymore.

Banging a few women at work is salacious stuff, but in the big scheme of things, it happens every day, and pales in relation to national security

Except ...

If Huang was simply caught banging a couple subordinates, it is a compliance issue. He'd be fired, they might be fired or demoted or reprimanded.

I'm not sure what you're asking me to deny. You basically repeated my point. There's no denying that there was investigation about the spying incident, but ultimately CEOs get internally investigated for shit all the time. National security implications are not typically the kind of thing that shows up on your employment contract. They get investigated and the company moves to address the issues, rarely if ever does it result in direct immediate punishment for those involved in the company.

On the flip side, compliance issues are among the few issues that CEOs can be ousted for without recourse, without golden parachute, and without a careful handover period... and have in multiple companies (including Intel, Nestle, bp, NBC, non of whose CEOs were banging spies). That's my point. The spying is sort of not the problem for Huang, it's just another crisis that a CEO needs to manage. Having an undisclosed relationship with a subordinate on the other hand that was a huge problem.

Past tense. That problem is now solved in that he no longer works at NVIDIA.

Amazon need to fix their fucking useless item search first. I don't shop for stuff on Amazon because I know I won't be able to find it. They don't need more data, they need one decent programmer.

If you’re not searching by specific make and model anywhere online, you’re likely to get a mixed bag of shit. Because “shit” is sold under 17 brands in 13 categories within 7 industries now. Nope. Not shitting you.

What Amazon is asking for, they already have (ratings, reviews, and how-tos). What they ironically need, is to get rid of the botware and paid reviewer sniping that goes on between brands that they likely encourage (sell to both sides), in order to get USEFUL reviews and factual information instead of the shit they’ve created to sell..well, more shit than ever.

Today, you have to go search the intertubes for the product instruction manual from a vendor name that loosely translates into “fuck your vowels”. Go figure Amazon needs to keep that Dxxyyddfx, LLC keyword search proprietary.

I know. Shitty world we shop in. But wait til should see the New Shit. Neon pukezilla is the new black.

This isn't Europe, there isn't any such "register" that allows the company to ignore those relationships.

Documenting it creates a requirement that they take action.

Errr no this isn't a "Europe" thing. This is a global thing. And the point is not that the company "ignores", it's quite the opposite. Its that the company puts checks in place to ensure the relationship doesn't create conflicts of interest with legal implications for the company.

*ALL* major companies have this, at least any company large enough to have a legal department, and it affects you if you are in a position important enough to cause problems for companies.

You know why your email being down for two days didn't make the Slashdot front page? Because it didn't affect anyone except you.

Congrats, you understood my point. There's always someone out there who thinks pointing out the obvious problem with people unable to understand data means choosing a side or licking boots.

Stay in school, learn to read English. Understand that when someone calls you out for being stupid it doesn't mean they support or "lick the boots" of someone else.

Spewing a bunch of links with no thoughts is just trolling.

it's actually called providing supporting evidence and references for statements made. civil people often do that when discussing, specially if there is disagreement about facts, but it was apparently a waste of 60 seconds on you. enjoy your rock.

I hope they didn't sign their name. They have all effectively said that fundamental compliance and reporting rules around conflicts of interest internal to the company should be ignored. There's few things that in an office situation could warrant an instant dismissal but this is actually one of them.

He slept with three other women who were not his wife. That's three "mistakes". Three strikes and you're out.
If you can't honor your marriage contract, what business contract are you also going to violate?

That wasn't his mistake. His mistake was purely business contractual. He didn't disclose employee relationships in a conflict of interest register to the board. It's not against any corporate rules to sleep around, and no one gives a fuck about marriage contracts. He directly violated company rules.

he also sits on the board

Consider yourself corrected: https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/... He is no longer a member of the board (not that that makes anyone immune from anything). Board members are just as easy to fire as CEOs, give or take one vote.

he still controls a huge amount of shares in the company

You can be corrected there too. He owns 3.5% of the company with no dual-class voting structure, which is to say he controls fuck all. I mean if anything he's Blackrock's bitch since they own closer to 10%. This isn't Meta we're talking about. Jensen Huang is an employee, not a dictator.
