I linked to two on-camera, unedited interviews lasting over an hour each in this thread.
Anyway, I agree that it doesn't matter much. This case will hinge on if he could reasonably have continued working at Google, doing a job that required him to evaluate the performance of female co-workers. I don't think the political freedom stuff will help him much - even if political views are protected, so is speech but that doesn't mean you can say what you like at work.
I wonder if Google will call the authors of the papers he cites as witnesses?
Let's see what he says when Google's lawyer asks him why he omitted a claim that is crucial to his case when asked about it on multiple prior occasions. It might just have been something he didn't think to mention, but if you were fired for doing something you were asked to do by the company wouldn't you mention it?
Nissan got started on EVs fairly early and had quite a lot of success with the Leaf. Aside from producing a great and decent selling car, they have a lot of the patents on EV tech now and have figured out a lot of the issues that other manufacturers are just starting to face, like how to do an EV instrument cluster or manage the battery.
The Chinese are also doing pretty well. Several Chinese manufacturers, most notably BYD, have lots of EVs and lots of EV tech.
Probably doesn't need to be super accurate, beyond not accidently charging people for stuff. Like self service check outs the losses may be a little higher but the savings compared to employing staff more than make up for them.
Tesla has stated that the new Roadster will be able to keep going at maximum power output indefinitely.
But yes, the current family sedan that wins the 0-60 race isn't really designed to be a track car. If course, Ferrari now have to solve the heat dissipation issue too.
It's a common trap because the people living there see that some other people are making even more money, and think that if they can just hang on long enough to get to that level they can be super rich. In reality they just create a feedback loop that pushes up prices with little improvement in the odds of them "making it".
With ICBMs it's easy to see who launched them and retaliate. With a torpedo it's more difficult... Okay, only Russia has these, but if one takes you by surprise can you be sure it wasn't a Chinese submarine launching a shorter range one or on some kind of suicide mission? And in a decade or two other countries will have nuclear armed drones too.
The modern supercars they put out are kind of stupid anyway. They poured so much effort into shaving a couple of tenths of a second off the 0-60 time with a petrol engine, only to be trounced by an electric sedan costing 1/15th as much.
Okay, I get that a petrol engine makes a nice sound and can be fun to drive, but these modern supercars don't sound particularly great, are hybrid anyway and the driving experience is carefully managed by the computers needed to wring that level of performance out of a combustion engine. There are plenty of interesting, fun fossil performance cars, but things like the La Ferrari are the iPhones of the car world, expensive jewelry that's good but not terribly interesting.
And now Tesla have a supercar that does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds, and doesn't overheat. The closest Ferrari have is 2.4 seconds, so they need to learn how to build an electric performance car and shave half a second off their current best. I'm sure they will do it eventually and probably make a car with superior handling, but it will cost at least 5x as much as the Tesla and won't arrive for 5 years.
Like most European manufacturers, they kinda missed the boat.
You know, I really didn't think more women entering the tech industry would be so painful for guys, especially in 2018.
The transphobic stuff I did anticipate, because like homosexuality it's going to be one of those uncomfortable issues for a lot of people and probably at least another 10 years:-(
Maybe we don't need bleeding edge performance. Have an untrusted CPU for performance, and a trusted one for important stuff. The trusted one doesn't have to be super high performance.
That's basically the technique used by most security systems these days. Have a secure, low performance sub-processor just for handling secrets and validating the activity of the high performance main processor.
I expect this issue will be examined at the trial. In any case, it's largely irrelevant because "please give feedback" doesn't mean "please make your job impossible".
Have you actually read that document? It contradicts the GP. He doesn't claim to have been asked for feedback and in an interview said the same thing.
More over, the lawsuit lays out all the really good reasons for firing him, but then attempts to claim discrimination as the reason rather than the more obvious "being extremely disruptive and impossible to work with".
The saddest thing is we can't even discuss this, because contradicting the hero narrative is punished with down mods. So much for free speech and the marketplace of ideas.
Charging speed isn't a big issue. First thing they do when the plane docks is plug it in anyway because the fossil generators in the engines stop. They have to unload passengers and cargo and rubbish, then load it all back up again... The turn around time is enough to charge the batteries.
That sounds awful, but it's not got anything to do with the Damore case. If you read the actual memo and ignore all the people misrepresenting it, you can see pretty clearly how he created a situation where Google had no choice but to fire him.
Anyway, I think we need to wait for the lawsuit to progress before we can really make a final judgment. The material filled so far is pretty damming, it's clear that both of them were in an untenable position.
Walls are not binary effective/ineffective. They make it harder to enter, not impossible.
Considering people are willing to cross oceans, risk death from exposure, leave everything they have and become an undocumented immigrant to the US, I very much doubt that a wall will slow them down much.
Anyway, it's geographically impossible to cover the entire border. In similar cases all it does it shift the problem around a bit.
Both are objectively pretty good, so it gives some freedom to pick the one you like.
No and no.
Having your health damaged so that some politician can get paid is not "objectively good" in any meaningful sense, at least not for you.
Most people don't have the freedom to pick the one they like, since they can't just emigrate if they don't like the situation in their country. In fact, the US and UK are currently trying really hard to stop people doing just that.
Except that the prices are still the same whether you have prime or don't
At least on the.co.uk site there is usually a third party seller that is cheaper than the Prime price including shipping, where the item ships from the Amazon warehouse but takes a little longer to reach you. So you pay more for the Prime version and get expedited shipping on the exact same product...

So I'm gonna submit his email as evidence in my small claims court action against Intel.

If that were true then the second strike capability would be nullified, because it relies on submarines being largely untrackable.

My mistake, he does claim that in the lawsuit. However, in multiple interviews he gives a different account. For example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
I expect this issue will be examined at the trial. In any case, it's largely irrelevant because "please give feedback" doesn't mean "please make your job impossible".
It looks like he makes this claim in the lawsuit. However, be directly contradicts it in the YouTube interview.
The very first result in Google for "Damore memo" is this:
https://medium.com/@Cernovich/...
The content appears to be the same as your link.
In this interview Damore says that he decided to write the memo himself because he didn't like the course, not because he was asked to give feedback.

Have you actually read that document? It contradicts the GP. He doesn't claim to have been asked for feedback and in an interview said the same thing.

Just wait for the troll mods for denying their victimhood.

I don't necessary buy stuff locally, just from other places online. In fact often it's just 3rd party sellers on Amazon that are cheaper.
Both are objectively pretty good, so it gives some freedom to pick the one you like.
