Dumb language question: if Powell is married, why isn’t she referred to as Mrs. Powell in this article?
“It is generally considered polite to address a woman by Ms. rather than Mrs., unless the preference of the woman in question is clearly known. This is especially true in written communication, as dictated by professional etiquette. […] It is normally considered correct to address a woman as Ms. [Lastname], regardless of her marital status.”
There was such a huge push to convert all `master` branches to `main`[1], yet feminists have no issues addressing each other as master/mistress.
I'm not a native speaker, but in my experience, people don't even talk like that anyway. Newspapers may write "Mr Trump" but people just say Trump.
[1]: Not me, I still use `master`.
Many people find it demeaning to address women differently depending on whether or not they are married, especially when we don't do the same for men.
> [Ms. is] intended as a default form of address for women regardless of marital status. [2]

Wikipedia tries to make it sound like it’s some old tradition, but it’s actually fairly new, with the prior historical references being obscure until it was resurrected.

I don’t understand this need to rewrite history. Nobody in this thread is objecting to the use of the term. Even the wikipedia article says the term was resurrected in the 80s.
Skeletor will return next week with more disturbing reminders about passage of time...
The term is recent in a linguistic sense. Even if you personally think it’s ancient history, “my dude”, there are plenty of us alive where it was invented in our lifetime.
A teacher explained this to me in elementary school as some new fad.

Classy edit, btw.
In addition Nvidia is incredibly tech-heavy company. You need another EE with experience with AI chip design and business. Just having good experienced businessman looking at simplified powerpoints before making decisions of technical issues is probably not enough.
certainly sounds like that's the case, yup
This? Honestly nothing. It’s bad, but as you point out, precedented among this Epstein cohort.
Musk is also very "out" about it. Kinda like how it's okay to be gay in the CIA, as long as you're out. Being in the closet gets you fired because it makes you blackmailable.
Not a lifestyle I could ever be proud of living personally but ymmv and elon seems to be enjoying himself.
With the decline in religious attendance has come a decline in marriage; from 70%+ to 50%ish over the last couple generations
But divorce rate has declined so those that do marry seem to really want it; in the before times though it was how women survived
Coupling fits with biological imperative to have partners but longterm/for life is obviously not necessary since divorce is common too, partners die, etc
That and recent research shows long term married couples are 50% more likely to develop dementia; an imbalance in effort develops where one becomes codependent and forgets how to live and the partner in charge loses grip of themselves and taking care of their partner consumes them.

They'd go as far as to call it a virtue. Silicon Valley is the greatest domestic enemy this country has ever seen. They've built entire machines to protect, reward, and normalize antisocial activity.
lol, I called it perfectly even.
What even is the problem with that really?
I hated the misogynistic narrative that Huang was somehow helpless against a super-spy-seductress. Men can in fact control themselves, and it takes a lot of effort, you might even say willpower, to turn a business meeting into a bedroom encounter, especially when you're in the public eye. If Huang was targeted, it was because he was an easy target, a philanderer.
For good reason. The level of fuck-up in sleeping with a Chinese spy and then having the gall to try and corruptly quash the investigations into it, coming clean only after Congress flips, is nuts.
I’m not convinced a good CEO can’t have affairs. I am convinced a liar and corrupter can’t.
Maybe his autographing that women's bra (boob?) at a trade show was a red flag…
Yeah but then what's the point of busting your ass your whole life to become one of the wealthiest and most influential men in the world, if you can't have an affair when the mood hits you?
This is in fact very mild and tame behavior for someone who's a famous influential billionaire. Because the other ones went to an island where they ... you know ... did things to kids. So banging some milfy cougars while married is very milk toast by comparison. It's not moral or just at all, but also nothing to stop the planet from spinning.
Perhaps don't get married then, or have a consensual open relationship.
I love all these comments that are basically like "what's the point of being a billionaire if you can't stick your dick wherever you want when the mood strikes you and lie about it to your wife."
Edit: honestly, this one feels like a moralistic freak out more than anything. Who cares about sex with the non-spy lady?
If it's true that he had the affair with the CCP spy or otherwise was encouraged to sell GPUs using loopholes that violate export bans, that would put him and NVDA into some hot water.
Investors do not like that and the implications for any rapid change in NVDA valuation would be immense.
So it's all opportunistic, at this point.
Then Investor lawsuit kick off, more allegations, a big drop, profit. Then "oh well", "can't prove it".
This was all immensely quick, putting together an investor's lawsuit this fast, other allegations waiting...
It's almost as if someone had the lawsuit ready to go.
You can leave sugar water in strategic places and then follow the ant trail to track where they are coming in.
Probably there will be an entire trail of ants in the morning - not just two. You can then track the place where they are coming in and block up the entrance point.
People don't see the money, the global geopolitical issues at stake - they see the man - they see the jacket.

Uno was highly criticized in public not for having a Geisha mistress, as it was a traditional leisure practice expected of politicians and wealthy men but instead due to relating his poor financial habits in the Japanese Diet as compared and paralleled to the ungenerosity towards his former Geisha mistress.I know things are different when you're only thinking with your johnson but jeez, showing up with the same woman in front of the media many times and even displaying affection in front of a camera (there is pictures of them with light body contact afaik), what did he think was going to happen?
He should have retired and done a handover last month and left at his peak to a beach villa on Maui...
(If he's done this without his wife's full consent, he's certainly a despicable human, but that doesn't change that this looks like a really nicely orchestrated PR hit job)
