With respect (I'm sure you are good at something) the title of it alone is asking for a fight with the CEO, let alone what follows (eg. accusations about management being blind to things etc). In addition, the undergraduate fumbling with psychology included is frankly embarassing even to someone who didn't study the topic formally like myself. Take a look again considering it from the point of view of Google's management and I'm sure you'll work that out.
Free speech in the workplace, especially an American corporate workplace, shouldn't be expected unless you are prepared to work for free (or get kicked out the door). While it would be nice if such a thing would be tolerated and other workplaces would tolerate it, the "we own you" attitude is very strong in corporate America. A CEO can talk like that, but down the ladder it's seen as far too much biting of the hand that feeds you.
Even if he's 100% correct (not my opinion, it looks like a pile of emotive overly political whiny shit, but let's say it is 100% correct under that) it is a bit confronting and a one-way ticket out of the building unless done outside and preferably anonymously.
It seems like Google has made it clear that their work environment is definitively hostile towards anyone who dares question feminist dogma
Are you really so naive to think that - are you on your Dad's account or something or did we just get you before the first coffee of the day?
It's not about any *ism. It's about being critical of the company wide employment policy and ultimately the CEO himself. Any correspondence with feminist or any other dogma is co-incidental. Pick a very public fight with management on an emotive issue, get it into the press and shit happens. Of course he got fired. He was demonstrating a lack of loyalty in a very public way and the issue itself doesn't matter. How relevant is feminism in the millenial "bro" locker room environment of Google anyway? It's just a bullet point in the hiring policy to stop the place looking like a juvenile sausagefest to the outside world.
The guy didn't even identify himself as a conservative
It does not matter.
If you are not the boss starting a high profile political shitfight in your workplace that gets the attention of the press is a bad move no matter what your politics are.
based on the research he cites
That word "research" gets a serious workout on this site despite it being almost always misapplied - how is looking up wikipedia "research"? So he cited something, maybe the journalist at Gizmodo thought it wasn't authoritative? Maybe they didn't dig down to where it came from etc before deadline. I've been told it's better to leave a quote out instead of finding you've accidentally quoted something originally from the Onion. Besides - the real story (as far as the journalist would see it IMHO) is that someone started a political shitfight at google. The details and justifications are not that difficult for those interested to find out this time since it's all online.
Which, even at extremely high pressures doesn't stay a liquid at extremely high temperatures.
which strongly implies that other methods require higher temperatures.
So it's a guess based on a headline somewhere else NINE YEARS AGO about something almost, but not quite, completely different? Fair enough, but you could have said so.
If anything it was figuratively, you have your words crossed
No, that was you. And it was obviously done deliberately. Why do you think such deceptive behaviour is acceptable when you clearly will not put up with very much at all from the "SJW's"?
The article and abstract don't say, so what temperature would this be used at? Hydrogen production at the moment from natural gas (using platinum) needs a bit of heat anyway.
And where do you get this lies get a free pass anyway? I have first hand fucking knowledge of people who do this
All of their money? "Literally" nothing spent on food rent electricity etc going into the economy? What an incredibly stupid lie to tell.
Level of dummy is amazing
Not falling for you incredibly stupid lie is being a dummy?
So go take your crybaby SJW shit
So calling out a liar is SJW now? That's all you've go to base it on since you know nothing about my politics and all I've done here is point out your dishonesty. I didn't even call you a liar outright to start with, since I know I have to pussyfoot around fragile snowflakes like you, but you are so fucking fragile that you got "triggered" anyway.
If anything it was figuratively, you have your words crossed
Then you should have written something like that instead of building on the error and having your thin-skinned fragile snowflake counterattack.
When you pay someone they get to do what they want with the money - anything else smacks of being a nanny state. Is that really what you want fragile snowflake? Do you want the government to put limits on what you send overseas if you ever want to do it yourself? Are you taking a "SJW" line yourself by wanting to push towards such a nanny state? Use that thing between your ears for something other than lame justifications for obvious lies.
Indeed, it's sooooo slooooow. It's so slow to start up that Daniel Stone used it to "prove that X is slow" - funny how he never did the benchmark on Wayland and also didn't compare with an old gtk2 version that wasn't so bloated. "Truth about Wayland" indeed. How many years ago was that? Nearly finished was it?
sticks their finger in their ears when faced with facts
No that was "literally" you.
Oh my god it doesn't support the politically correct agenda
Since when do lies get a free pass? You are not correct "politically" or in any other way. As for being a thin-skinned special snowflake - grow up instead of being "triggered" just because someone called out out on a extremely stupid lie. How did we end up with such a gutless bunch of losers?
so how could they of done what you said without releasing it?
The same way they have a pile of press releases and request for extra funding every time there is a "cybersecurity" threat no matter where it comes from - as you obviously well know but wish to appear utterly ridiculous by pretending you do not. WTF is it with this stupid game? Is your life really so empty?
The kiddies may not know how such tedious workplace politics of profiting from chaos works (which is why I mentioned it) but you have no such excuse. Why act like you were born yesterday?
Yes, but this is about getting a quantity instead of the trend that's been known for years. It's even a major plot point in a novel I've been reading that came out in 2012.
So according to you the FBI released the Wannacry and planned to use to that as some master planning in taking over a part of the world.
WTF? Did I have to put the words I used above "unlikely outside of a Bond movie" in flashing text the full height of the screen or something?
Oh that's right, you saw it but you want some reason to attack to give your life meaning or something so pretended it wasn't there - how utterly pathetic. WTF is it with people being so deliberately and obviously dishonest just so they can argue?
I'm not so sure it's seen as that simple. There was that guy that was charged with teaching people how to get good results when subjected to a "lie detector", which is similar to those lockpick classes. Those people who scam the taxpayer by selling snake-oil "lie detector" services are really the ones that need to be imprisoned IMHO. So, Chinese style, the current case and that guy undermining the "lie detector" scammers seem to have commited the crime of pissing off government employees that should have much better things to do. Whether "Wannacry" was some NSA masterplan (unlikely outside of a Bond movie) or people in the FBI etc wanted to use the chaos as an excuse for departmental empire building (almost certain) Hutchins has pissed off some people who are now using the power of the State against him. Where is oversight when you need it?
From the summary above it kind of looks like someone has decided to charge Hutchins and has gone through the books looking for something that can be twisted to fit. Not a good look FBI or whoever is calling the shots here. If you want a high profile arrest go for the guy behind the Stratfor crack - if you can't find him ask your payroll department (people who don't know the story of how that crack was carried out by an FBI informant and how he was not charged should look it up - interesting story and shows how immunity deals should not be done).
Nate Silver, the same guy that said Trump had ZERO chance of winning. Ok, seems legit to me.
He appears to have overestimated the Republican party's competence in blocking a Cuckoo from outside from taking over the primaries. He should have had zero chance.
OK I'll correct you. What would your idol Reagan do? Even better, look up what he actually did about illegal immigration. It was actually a very good idea instead of what we have now with a shadow economy of non-citizens paid under the table and ranting about trying to turn back a tide with a toothpick as if it would work.
So paying no rent, nothing for food, nothing for anything? How convenient. Interesting world you live in. Maybe you should look at how we use the word "literally" in the world outside of your own mind.
Under Trump's plan, there would actually be more high-skilled immigrants , but they would no longer be indentured to the sponsoring companies:
That, or definitely the latter part of it actually sounds good. So what's the real policy? Something like that is going to annoy so many Republicans (and some Democrats) that it's never going to pass. They LIKE having indentured workers.
But back to you? Why should a game developer waist his time with the CEO of Rockstar games want the unfinished piece of crap shipped before Christmas whether it is finish or not waste time optimizing for what 1% of gamers have?
Because it's now optimizing for what 100% of gamers have.
A more polite way of saying "you don't know shit about the topic" is not an insult?
and they're not all going to be at your level
They had better be - I'm way below average - an engineer who does coding from time to time and who came in to computers a couple of decades ago to simulate physical processes. If I can do it why can't someone who's got a degree in the topic?
It's not about keeping all cores busy - I'm more pissed off about waiting around because the developer is doing EVERYTHING in a single thread.
making reliable logic in a parallel environment is beyond most humans
We are not supposed to be "most humans", we are supposed to be the ones that get those collections of silicon, copper etc running well. We're supposed to use all those years since high school to pick up the tricky stuff instead of stagnation.
Our languages and methods are designed around a single-threaded world.
Stuff was most likely written in FORTRAN to run in parallel before you were born.

I'm not sure how that applies to me since I've never even seen Civ6.
