> Even I, as a gay half-Asian Muslim, not that any of that should matter, feel this needs to be pointed out: How is it not racist and sexist? Because if you're not very publicly and loudly checking off all the DEI boxes, you're just hiring a bunch of white cisgender heterosexual men. This isn't just defcon, this is how every company acts these days.

I'm struggling to reconcile this response vs the Bitcoin address "Easter egg" and the other claims in the prior article ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41211519 ), and a few other aspects. Such a gross "oversight" does not reflect the care they're claiming to have exercised. This part also seems a tad over the top and dramatic: > We are especially grateful that Dmitry was not hurt in the physical removal he wa…
The software developer who added the Easter egg was not employed or paid by EE, just sympathetic to them
Thanks for the information, my mistake.

I feel like at some of my previous jobs I'd never have been hired if I weren't half negro.
Do this look like someone mistook budget allotted by a magnitude, or was too scared to speak up until it's too late and situation had to be escalated to (no offense)an adult to initiate shutdown?
It looks like a case of managerial miscommunication. Entropic seems to have expected that sending emails with higher budget estimates would give DEFCON the opportunity to say no if they did not agree, and took the lack of response as a sign of DEFCON’s agreement to the new budget. DEFCON seems to have either not read or ignored those emails and expected Entropic to work within the originally agreed-upon budget.

It would just be so easy for the other party to retort with "we never agreed to that" because the did not. I'm no legal type, but this just doesn't seem like it would ever hold up in any way. Even with wording of "if we do not hear back, it will be assumed as your agreement" as there's no proof it was actually ever received.

> So I'm left uncertain which story is to be trusted here I mean, it seems pretty clear to me that defcon is in the wrong here, and everything else is just drama. Filing the serial numbers off to hide that EE was to credit for it, getting f’d at a hidden screen that credited them. Come on, fuck off. EE did the work here. Not crediting them sucks. The rest of the stuff, I really dont care about, but you can’t put a ri…
Just because you don't visibly put the creator's logo on the thing does not mean you are pretending that you made the thing. Your Ford F150 does not have the logos of the 3rd party companies that programmed the ECUs, made the brake pads, etc, and yet I doubt anyone here would think that Ford is pretending they did whatever.
This is not agreeing with what was done, just brake checking your broadbrushing

Then apparently I understand nothing, now I regret commenting. Thanks for the information, my mistake.
