He doesn’t have the right to say whatever he wants in the workplace. In the workplace, his time and how he spends it is not his own. Someone else is paying him for it.

Meh. He deserved to be fired if for no other reason than one shouldn’t write and disseminate such a thing in a professional workplace. Unless your name is George G. Google and you own the place, in which case you get to hold forth on whatever you like, then just come in the office, code, and go home. I would fire…

This outcome was obvious from the get-go. “Can it be knocked off by Chinese factories within six months?” If the answer is yes, it isn’t a billion-dollar company. I;m sure that there are actually clever hardware ideas not being pursued right now because the reasoning is “it will just be copied immediately, not worth…

“....until Mike Tracey and Glenn Greenwald can confirm it’s real”

Good, fuck em. Now throw every one of their kleptocrat billionaires out of the country and seize their NY condos and bank accounts.

“Nothing about Bitcoin is making sense right now, and that makes it a really attractive option in these confusing times.”

Hopefully the result is that everyone involved gets a life.

I hope and pray that we will be moving beyond the Silicon Valley bullshit bubble pretty soon. We’ve substituted a bunch of self-serving, navel-gazing, consumerist hookum like mindfulness and yoga and $400 juice-machines, for the pursuit of any real meaning in life. The Silicon Valley mindset is almost 100% selfish and…

Cool, he should do that back in Russia if that is where his interest lay.

This is like announcing in 1950 that you are going to build a city for flying cars. We are so far away from real AI, or functional convincing humanoid robots. We are like a century away.

Indeed, as a Portland homer I now declare us the odds-on favorite out the West. With Paddy O’Irishman coming off the bench, we are unvincible!

What do they have to do with each other? ‘Murka!

Like you say, it doesn’t make much sense, so that means that any number of explanations could fit right? Including that he decided to leave money on the table.

There were definitely unanswered questions about why he decided to make that move.

I think it was just the prospect of going 1 and 11 with only the worst recruiting class in the PAC 12 to look forward to.

My totally wild-ass guess is that the school instigated this, and he honorably just admitted that he has failed and let them out of the of contract. Seems crazy in this day and age, but he does seem to have integrity and it would be hard for him to deny that he has failed the players and the school and is not earning…

Isn’t it fair to assume that many of these players received payments or goodies and their college careers will now be over?

Well, there’s one born every minute. That’s there market.

Didn’t even try, because what’s the use? I love Nintendo and have loved all Nintendo systems since 1985, but fuck Nintendo.

“Then what about all the groups of people that wear BLM shirts and beat up white/hispanic/asian people?”
