The Unquoteable One's dogged refusal to acknowledge that a woman has a right to free agency is very disappointing. Why must you invent malevolent intentions for an aspect of somebody's personal life which is really none of your business?

i'm just wondering how much more of a pariah he must be made into regarding his extremely public misogyny before he is finally dumped

getting excoriated in the news by reporters clearly wasn't enough although it seemed close since she refused to even have her name mentioned in association or her picture taken

and now it's the court calling him an indefensible he-man woman hater

google is going to quietly give him his job back and he'll be on wingnut welfare the rest of his life, they're set

lol if you think she's still with him for any reason other than financial ones

he's already fialed to hop on wingnut welfare and google has no reason to rehire him at all

well, again we can't assume that she might have the savvy to want to wring him for all the alt-right cash coming his way before dumping him because that would make her basically a sex worker

i suppose her actual reasons are inscrutable but we can definitively say that they are wrong and we are right and she should know better (note: i am not arguing this, the previous was ironic)

maybe y'all should actually read the rest of that article that HP quoted a paragraph of because it actually talks about her motivations and stuff: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/16/james-damore-google-memo-interview-autism-regrets

quote:

Damore�s girlfriend was overseas on 5 August, the day she received text messages from friends urging her to click on a link to the tech website Gizmodo, where the memo had been leaked under the headline �Here�s The Full 10-Page Anti-Diversity Screed Circulating Internally at Google�.

Damore had not told her about his document, and her initial impression was that it was horrible. But after reading it a few times, and discussing it with him, her position mellowed; she even came to agree with one or two of his points. She maintains Damore was, for the most part, naive and wrong, but in the process of defending him she lost friends. She believes there was no need for Google to fire him; they could just as easily have taken corrective action.

it's also the one where damore blames this all on his ~autism~ which is gross as hell so enjoy that i guess

JawnV6: Jul 4, 2004; So hot ...

silence_kit posted:

Usually when a material absorbs IR, it absorbs visible light too.

Now that you mention it, there might be a way to engineer reflectors on both sides of the cell to force IR light to make multiple round trip passes in the cell until it is absorbed, and force visible light to only make 1 pass through the absorptive cell. Then the cell could absorb IR much more strongly than visible light.

edit: I just googled hot mirror coating�I�ve never heard of that before�an important distinction between a hot mirror coating and Shifty Pony�s solar cell is that the hot coating reflects the IR and does not absorb it. Shifty Pony�s solar cell needs to absorb the IR light in order to convert it into electricity.

tesla model 3 touchscreen design working about as well as you expected it to in practice

quote:

The user says the glovebox was jammed closed by the Model 3's big tablet-like screen that broke in the accident. The screen no longer functioned, so the glovebox couldn�t be opened�its access is controlled entirely by the screen, like many functions on the Model 3. This meant that the owner had great difficulty accessing their insurance documents, the owner said.

Next, the screen construction itself seems to be a source of some issues. When the car crashed, the passenger�s arm hit the screen, causing it to shatter and giving him some cuts. The injuries were minor enough, but the screen still caused injury, CNET said.

why the gently caress is the glove box latch controlled by a tablet? At any rate, don't worry, Ole Musky is on the case:

quote:

Musk eventually heard about these issues and proposed a few fixes that he thought would work. He said that an upcoming update would allow the glovebox to automatically open if the Model 3 detects a sudden stop.

So now instead of just making an ordinary mechanical latch like every other loving car in the world, slamming the brakes too hard causes the glove box to pop open and sore your poo poo all over the floor.

This truly is the car for Gizmo obsessed techie dipshits.

Sagebrush: Feb 26, 2012

everything in the car is controlled with the touchscreen because that's the future

want to open the glovebox? press this button on the touchscreen!
want to move the airflow from the vents? move this crosshair on the touchscreen!
want to adjust the cruise control speed? drag this slider on the touchscreen!
open the frunk or the charging port? touchscreen!
check your speed or the status of your turn signals? they're right there in the corner of the touchscreen, dummy!
open the loving doors? not the touchscreen, amazingly! but the door handles are an electrical button so they don't work if the car runs out of power. in that event, there is a manual release hidden under the armrest, but you aren't supposed to use it because it can rip off the door trim if you do.

sum total of physical controls: pedals, wheel, headlight/windshield wiper, drive mode selector, and two scroll wheels.

but it's fine because ol'musky says you won't be driving yourself anyway, any day now...
