wildmXranat | on: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
Uh, Do you feel sad for his family or sad for him, because I think he's a real POS. We men should lead by example. He's a leader, but behaves like a weak coward.

It's not hard to keep it zipped up in the pants.

I've heard Bill Gates had two affairs. It's hard for me to be sympathetic for his actions. Jensen being targeted by a spy agency and fell for it could be a little more nuanced than that. I want to learn about what exactly happened. I'm not denying his failure in any case.

Bill Gates is a good example. If you’ve heard him talk about it it’s pretty clear he still loves his ex wife and would get back with her if he could. People make mistakes. People with that much money and power are dropped into situations most of us can’t imagine.

Of course he would like to have his wife back and also maybe some cute blonde with nice rack.

I agree he is a real POS. But this “we, the men” discourse is insane to hear/read in the 21st century.

you sound sheltered. Everyone is tested with that which could possibly take them out.

You rather confirm the OP's point.

Mr Huang was tested, and failed that test.

He was weak when he should have led.

I've said before. He doesn't deserve crucifixion, but he doesn't deserve your/a defence.

Save your words for his family.

Rando's leaping to the defence of an adulterer is a lame look.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked person from among you.

Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Jensen Huang isn't a Christian as far as I know, so the logical conclusion of those (famously rather challenging) Biblical passages is that Christians shouldn't judge him.

I judge and I expect others to judge me. Like a normal person. But you do you.

It’s interesting the lengths people here go to blame the victim, but not the Chinese CCP.

You know, the ones that actually did the spying.

brookst | root | parent | next
That’s an odd take. The CCP was literally doing their job, just like US and other spy agencies also engage in espionage. Whether or not they “should” be doing so is a geopolitical debate that it’s easy to moralize about but difficult to change.

Huang had many responsibilities that he failed to live up to. Sure, he’s a victim of sorts, but he also failed everyone.

Sorry, pathetic.

It was the Mr Huang's personal weakness that enabled the spying.

I've said before. This was a private matter, and I will not crucify him for his mistake / weakness - though it does speak somewhat to his character.

However, the spying element of this is absolutely deserving of blame. The personal weakness he's shown has enabled a national security risk. That's no small thing.

Let's pretend I took drugs and got caught. That's a personal matter.

Now let's pretend I took drugs and then ran over a family while driving. It's no longer 'just' a personal matter, despite my having zero intent to harm. But I bet you'd still, and should, blame me as my personal failing led to significant harm. Manslaughter is different to murder, but it's still blaming me for what I'd done. Rightly.

that is a good point in the strict POV of the "spy" problem.

most people seem to be mad with the fact he cheated on his wife. That does not draw him as a "great guy, friend of the pc gaming community" but cheating on his wife is barely a scratch given everything else he also did.

tl;dr: gpu man put his thing into a chinese honeypot.

Cheating is not "being tested", no one made him fuck a spy.
