Re:Jerks are not a protected class.
His job didn't involve employee management or review. Everyone in this discussion needs to read the lawsuit. Google is fucked.

Re:Jerks are not a protected class.
No, google employees and management made his job untenable. Read for yourself. There is no way Google wins this.

Re:Jerks are not a protected class.
After reading the lawsuit and seeing statements and decisions made my Google management and employees, I completely disagree. Google is going to lose this. Read for yourself.

Re:Finally
California is an employment at will state. Damore could have been fired for that essay he wrote. That's not the problem here. The problem is the blatant and indefensible racism, sexism, poltical and religious discriminations shown by Google management and employees leading up to the firing. Just do a quick read of the lawsuit. There is no way Google wins this, even in California,

Re:Finally
It is true that a lawsuit certainly only presents the biased view of one party. But, the statements shown in screenshots of emails and internal social media posts made by Google employees and management in this lawsuit are indefensible in ANY situation. Google is going to lose this lawsuit. Read for yourself.

Re:Finally
Read the lawsuit. Screenshots from Google management and employee's emails and internal social media show that your premise is completely and totally wrong. Google is not going to win this. I hope Damore refuses a settlement that does not admit guilt, because Google is guilty as fuck.

Here. This is not about white men having it horrible in the country or Sillicon Valley in general. It's about specific comments and actions by specific people. Just like in the case of a lady who got awarded a million for spilling McD coffee on herself, there is more here than meets the eye. It's up to court to sort it out and hopefully deliver a just resolution rather than for us to speculate to appearances.

Re:FinallyFrom the case summary (emphasis added):
Plaintiffs bring this individual and class action on behalf of themselves and on behalf of a class and subclasses defined as all employees of Google discriminated against (i) due to their perceived conservative political views by Google in California at any time during the time period beginning four years prior to the filing of this Complaint through the date of trial in this action (“Political Class Period”); (ii) due to their male gender by Google in California at any time during the time period beginning one year prior to the filing of this Complaint through the date of trial in this action (“Gender Class Period”); and/or (iii) due to their Caucasian race by Google in California at any time during the time period beginning one year prior to the filing of this Complaint through the date of trial in this action (“Race Class Period”) (Political Class Period, Gender Class Period, and Race Class Period referred to collectively, as “Class Periods”).
Also, characterizing Google as "mostly white men" ignores the substantial proportion of Asians there.

Re:Finally
Going by the court filing Google engaged in systemic oppression against groups of people, particularly white males, and males in general. There's also a whole laundry list of shit out of the filing including giving monetary bonuses to employees who publicly argued against Damore. A google SRE director arguing to censor speech of particular groups of people. The operation of a internal blacklist against employees hindering advancement. Arguing that by engaging in racism against whites, they're encouraging diversity. Using company resources to fund, recruit, and push people into joining ANTIFA and creating blacklists of people who refused to play along. HR arguing that we should fire people based on accusations, not proof.
You can read the entire docket yourself, it's worth the time.

Re:I AM AN OPPRESED WHITE MAN! FEEL MY PAIN!
they will roll out the HR termination paperwork documenting how he was abusing other employees because they weren't white
Ha. All he did was state his opinion that Google's policies and culture were discriminatory. For that, HE was abused by the social "justice" idiots that rule the roost at Google, like this asshole:

Re:Finally
This required sufficient internal response that the CEO had to cut short a family vacation in order to handle it. In general, a CEO of that size company does not expect to personally manage damage from an engineering hire unless things are seriously wrong. IMO that alone was sufficient reason for termination.
You don't fire an employee speaking out because your company has turned into a hotbed of discrimination against white males. Google violated the law by discriminating not only against conservative opinion within the company, but also via their discrimination in hiring practices. You should try reading the complaint before spouting off: https://www.scribd.com/documen...
Damore's a turkey.
You're a social "justice" idiot.

Re:generates four times the energy of nuclear fiss
You cannot "generate" energy. Not one time, not four times.
Okay, Pedantic Avenger... how about using the utopian word 'liberate'... as if the anthropomorphically infused energy was kicking and screaming to get out? You could even have it breathe a sigh of relief and grin and bow to everyone like a genie.
In addition to pursuing the promise of liberating 4 times the energy that could theoretically but not practically be produced in today's water cooled solid fuel fission reactors... how about finding a way to increase fuel burn efficiency from their abysmal ~0.5-0.7% to something in, say, the high 90%s? Like one hundred times better?
Of course I'm talking about fuel dissolved in molten salts. Uranium burners like ThorCon now with a concerted effort to achieve the dream laid out (and prototyped) by Alvin Weinberg in the '60s, Thorium breeders that actively process salts to remove long-lasting products... to achieve a ~300 year walk-away-safe waste profile. Literally the best idea, ever! And if we do it before China does, we may even jump out in front again and save ourselves from financial ruin. Another plus.

"DID SOMEONE SAY THORIUM?" TIME ONCE AGAIN FOR CONFESSIONS OF A SLASHDOT ENERGY AND LFTR FANBOI... Updated again! All original unless noted! Browse! Engage! Plagiarize!
My June 2017 letter to Energy Secretary Perry was focused on the vulnerability of US natural gas. It is a great pain to state the obvious, but necessary because utility wind and solar has made faux-environmentalists into useful idiot 'crypto-advocates' of gas grid generation. We are on the cusp where a coordinated attack on the gas distribution network in a few places would trigger cascading grid failure, as distant gas plants operating directly from the pipelines drop offline and stay offline for days or weeks. This sentiment has since taken shape as the Trump Administration proposes ways to protect utilities able to stockpile 90 days of fuel, and encourage them to do so. It comes down to a simple question: Can you supply a compelling reason why the United States electric grid should fail completely within hours of a relatively simple attack?
This letter of mine has been in Donald Trump's possession since May 2, 2016 . If you read it you may discover why I considered Trump the only candidate worthy of such a message. In his pronouncement to pursue energy self-sufficiency in general and consider nuclear an essential part of the mix, there is hope. The others offer nothing but more years of bad road and an obscenely stupid fixation on base load irredeemables (wind and solar). Trump is literally the only one with the courage to stand up to the tripe.
In 2013 I reached out to Senator Inhofe to propose an energy path for Oklahoma and the country.
Also in 2013 I reached out directly to Halliburton Corporate with a very specific idea that just might have laid groundwork for their secure long-term future. At the time their stock was climbing towards $70 and they probably thought they didn't have a care in the world. Not so good now. Not a glimmer from this one either. I had high hopes for it.

Re:Intentionally poor headline
Perhaps the amended complaint will clarify. Notably, there seem to be 3 suits over this issue. That may be contributing confusion as well.
Personally, I would argue that the whole debacle is a design defect, much like the old XBox red ring of death debacle (caused by excessive heating and mechanical strain on a solder pad).

Re:Intentionally poor headline
The solutions offered are not accepted by the people in the lawsuit. The touch disease and bend disease are almost certainly part and parcel.
If you want me to lay my point out again, people are suing because apple is liable for defective products and their redress was found non-existent or wanting. There is a class action suit in Canada too. Then you get the anonymous genius bar people saying apple was selling refurbished units with the same propensity to fail.
If you want to stop being a failed troll, you can even read the lawsuit: https://www.scribd.com/documen...
Of course this is all explicitly mentioned and would easily be extrapolated or inferred by someone with a human-sized brain and the ability to breathe through the nose instead of the mouth
Just because something is written in a Complaint doesn't automatically make it true. Complaints are ALLEGATIONS, not always based on FACTS. And when lawyers with Class-Action payoffs dancing in their heads, Complaints are FAR more often than not, exceedingly overblown.
And besides, just because Apple's remedy is "rejected" by the Complainants, doesn't mean it will be "rejected" by the Court. And since this is simply an "Amended Complaint" and not a JUDGMENT, then I would imagine that simply hasn't happened one way or the other, yet.
That's what TRIALS are for. If you can look up a lawsuit, you should already know that. But apparently, you don't.
NOW who's the Pinhead?

Re:Virtue signaling douche bags
See Train0987's post above for citations.
Okay, I found the post and well... I'm just starting to dig into the second citation and it is fucking garbage. I had to look at that one because the first site never actually responds. Hmm, with the power of google I found it on scribd. I'll look at that in a minute, but let's talk about the second paper first. Its most relevant sources do not exist. Not just a simple 404, I googled for the ones which they claim directly support the headline and there's nothing, nada, zip and zilch. And the other papers which they claim generally support their claim... don't support their claim. It is a garbage citation and we can safely wipe our asses with it.
The first citation is of generally higher quality, even though the study it is based upon includes only about 6,500 valid respondents when there are about 1.5 million transgendered people in the USA, and only 75% of those were transgendered people (the rest were other people who describe their gender in complex terms.) Further, it counts suicide attempts, not suicides. The study does not say what you guys want it to say. In particular, it says that the suicide rate among trans respondents was only slightly higher than the rest of the respondents in the study. If you're not going to ban gays from the military, there's no real justification for banning the transgendered.
Whoops, I actually read the citations! Guess I wasn't supposed to do that.

*THIS* predicts the ruling
Important excerpt:
Indeed, EO–2 itself distinguishes between foreign nationals who have some connection to this country, and foreign nationals who do not, by establishing a case-by-case waiver system primarily for the benefit of individuals in the former category. See, e.g., 3(c)(i)–(vi). The interest in preserving national security is “an urgent objective of the highest order.” Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project, 561 U. S. 1, 28 (2010). To prevent the Government from pursuing that objective by enforcing 2(c) against foreign nationals unconnected to the United States would appreciably injure its interests, without alleviating obvious hardship to anyone else.
We accordingly grant the Government’s stay applications in part and narrow the scope of the injunctions as to 2(c). The injunctions remain in place only with respect to parties similarly situated to Doe, Dr. Elshikh, and Hawaii. In practical terms, this means that 2(c) may not be enforced against foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States. All other foreign nationals are subject to the provisions of EO–2...
Note well who was President when the cited case was decided - Obama. Ooops.
Of course, what's "a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States"? Obviously more litigation to follow, and likely that was put in to appease some Justices, I'd venture.
However, three Justices wrote:
I agree with the Court that the preliminary injunctions entered in these cases should be stayed, although I would stay them in full
Moreover, I fear that the Court’s remedy will prove unworkable. Today’s compromise will burden executive officials with the task of deciding—on peril of contempt— whether individuals from the six affected nations who wish to enter the United States have a sufficient connection to a person or entity in this country. See ante, at 11–12. The compromise also will invite a flood of litigation until this case is finally resolved on the merits, as parties and courts struggle to determine what exactly constitutes a “bona fide relationship,” who precisely has a “credible claim” to that relationship, and whether the claimed relationship was formed “simply to avoid 2(c)” of Executive Order No. 13780, ante, at 11, 12. And litigation of the factual and legal issues that are likely to arise will presumably be directed to the two District Courts whose initial orders in these cases this Court has now— unanimously—found sufficiently questionable to be stayed as to the vast majority of the people potentially affected.
Prediction - Trump gets 99.9999% of his "Muslim ban".

Re:Making NASA Great Again
if you want things you need to capitulate to what others want too
There you go begging the question again... I do not want "things" — except the defense from external enemies and internal criminals. These are the responsibilities of the government according to the Constitution since day one. Everything else — help for the poor, public education, retirement savings, mortgages, space exploration (except where militarily useful) — is mission creep.
The country can not survive without defense and maintaining law-and-order. Everything else is unnecessary and should therefor be done by non-government entities.
Otherwise why don't you go move to Somalia?
This bullshit meme really ought to stop. Somalia's current squalor is due to its past Socialism — your beloved Venezuela is to join the same sorry club soon. No doubt, the same morons currently claiming Somalia to be a "Libertarian paradise" will soon start spreading the same lie about Venezuela...

Also in 2013 I reached out directly to Halliburton Corporate with a very specific idea that just might have laid groundwork for their secure long-term future. At the time their stock was climbing towards $70 and they probably thought they didn't have a care in the world. Not so good now. Not a glimmer from this one either. I had high hopes for it.
Mentioned in these letters is Faulkner's 2005 paper on Electric (HVDC) pipelines, and the two hour Thorium Remix 2011 video presentation (time index below).

... It's time for Elmo to Grow Up!... A brief history of nuclear energy fear in these United States... You should fear everything besides nuclear energy... Solar drives California towards cannibalism, or your money back... There's a fire, and people pushing intermittent sources are blocking the exits... Hiding wonders of the modern world from the kids...Some energy priorities... 2016: The Year in energy... Meet the folks of TBA, a city willing to store spent nuclear fuel... Nothing is as patriotic as mining... A move to LFTR may be the only way to preserve modern society in the face of disaster (volcanism, Maunder minimum)... Can the grid 'black-start' after a disaster?... Sometimes you just have to point things -
If Amazon was REALLY serious...
If Amazon was serious about their centralized transaction and distribution model, their commitment to moving products from manufacture to seller over ever increasing distances, their commitment to deep processing power, with its necessity for an energy-rich future...
They would get behind Thorium and LFTR.
And let other silly, deluded corporate hobbyists fund the low-yield weather-intermittent countless points of failure crap.

Updated for 2017! All original unless noted! Browse! Engage! Plagiarize!This letter of mine has been in Donald Trump's possession since May 2, 2016 . If you read it you may discover why I considered Trump the only candidate worthy of such a message. In his pronouncement to pursue energy self-sufficiency in general and consider nuclear an essential part of the mix, there is hope. The others offer nothing but more years of bad road and an obscenely stupid fixation on base load irredeemables (wind and solar). Trump is literally the only one with the courage to stand up to the tripe.

Re:Just so everyone knows
If a bunch of women had legit Donald stories, don't you think they would have been dug up the DNC muck-rakers during the campaign? Why wait until he wins?
Maybe he had them all killed? Or have you heard of Jane Doe again? Instead his co-defendent was suddenly linked to Hillary Clinton in the Pizzagate Fake.

Re:So Twitter is now actively doxing people?
Ok, so Twitter was ordered by the 44th District Court, Dallas County, TX pursuant to the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure to... doxx somebody. Whatever you want to call it. See for yourself.

Re:Spinning even now
It'd be kinda weird for an attorney using their real name on Twitter and talking about Comet positively to want to lie about that, but that would by no means be the strangest thing seen so far. You can see from his Twitter that he strongly believes pizzagate is false: https://mobile.twitter.com/bayreef The most rational explanation would be that any gunfire happened when he wasn't there given that the police report came out and it says this guy shot a door, a wall and a computer before surrendering peacefully:

The fate of Brendan Eich becons for Schmidt
When Brendan Eich's backing of a popular, but ultimately-losing political movement came to light, Mozilla — undoubtedly pressured by Google, who provides 90% of its money — forced the inventor of Javascript to voluntarily step down.
The ongoing collapsing of Her Beautiful Wickedness is no dissimilar — although reasonably popular and, some would say, even with a reasonable chance of getting the same 52% of the vote that Brendan-backed Proposition 8 has gathered, Hillary may lose on legal grounds.
To avoid being seen as a hypocrite, Mr. Schmidt — who didn't merely donate some money, but was actively helping her — ought to resign soon.

Re:So... defective?
The wording of the letter implies that a driver assistance device may be deemed "defective" even if "drivers will use your product in a manner that exceeds its intended purpose". The list of requested information includes basic specifications of the device, such as what it does, which vehicles it is for, how it is installed, how it is used, under what conditions it can be used, detailed results of testing in all such conditions, what it ends up doing when it shuts off, what it ends up doing if installed in an unsupported vehicle, detailed results of testing for compliance with each element of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, how it interacts with rearview mirrors, when it goes on sale, and the name of every entity that will sell the device.
My understanding of Comma leaving the U.S. market is that it lacks the money to perform exhaustive tests, especially on all unsupported vehicles, and to hire legal counsel to interpret the FMVSS (49 CFR 571) and other pertinent regulations.

Re:"""Fact check"""
Bullshit weasel words. Go look for yourself.. Page 34. She says, almost literally, that she made an investigation of the facts and thinks the victim is a crazy liar. If you insist on it I suppose it's fine to just deny what's literally in the legal records, but why? Are you as sanguine about Trump's idiotic "I'm told.." and "people say" tactics?
None of your charitable interpretation matters. It all proves the point that Snopes isn't "fact checking". The only objective fact they seem to have refuted is that she didn't actually volunteer. The rest of the poster is arguably, at least, true. Don't claim to "check facts" when you are in fact putting forth a position.
Nowhere does the linked article claim she laughed about reducing his sentence. It says she said she knew he was guilty, which she did by obvious implication, and that she laughed about it, which again she did.

Re:This again?
> It certainly did not have an assembler in ROM, you had to type in Hex Opcodes.
Incorrect.
The Apple ][,
//e (enhanced), and //c have a mini assembler in ROM.
On the Apple ][+ you could load in the Integer Basic into the Language card and use it.That's what the monitor `!` command does -- it invokes the mini assembler @ F666 with the appropriate ROMs.
Woz even included the source code for it in the "Red Book"

Re:What Authority ...
Define 'assistance for corporations'.
Having Apple pay a tax rate of 0.005%, and others pay a tax rate of 12.5%; check out the document from the EC.
As long as Ireland applies their rules and rates uniformly
They don't, that's the point.
Is a country that charges less than Belgium's 34% corporate tax rate 'assisting' corporations? Because that would be a race to the bottom: Allowing the sloppiest and most inefficient governments to dictate tax and fiscal policy to the rest of the EU.
That would be very wrong, and unsurprisingly it's not the case.
Ireland doesn't want the money.
Then they may accept a 0.005% tax rate from all the other companies. And probably go bankrupt. Until they do, the difference between what they effectively ask from Apple and what they need to ask from everyone else in order to provide for the needs of their citizens is a measure of the unjust sacrifice that they impose on the rest of the EU members.
Perhaps they want to live within their means and not hve piles of cash sitting around as a magnet for the continent's deadbeats. Its their choice and I believe they have a right to make it.
Ireland is receiving more money from the EU than they give, each year. Portraying them as the source and the rest of the EU as the sink is a complete overturn of reality.
