Jim Keller Resigns from Intel, Effective Immediately
Intel has just published a news release on its website stating that Jim Keller has resigned from the company, effective immediately, due to personal reasons. Jim Keller was hired by Intel two years ago to the role as Senior Vice President of Intel's Silicon Engineering Group, after a string of successes at Tesla, AMD, Apple, AMD (again), and PA Semiconductor. As far as we understand, Jim's goal inside Intel was to streamline a lot of the product development process on the silicon side, as well as providing strategic platforms though which future products can be developed and optimized to market. We also believe that Jim Keller has had a hand in looking at Intel's manufacturing processes, as well as a number of future products.
Intel's press release today states that Jim Keller is leaving the position on June 11th due to personal reasons. However, he will remain with the company as a consultant for six months in order to assist with the transition.
[...] Jim Keller's history in the industry has been well documented – his work has had a significant effect in a number of areas that have propelled the industry forward. This includes work on Apple's A4 and A5 processors, AMD's K8 and Zen high-level designs, as well as Tesla's custom silicon for self driving which analysts have Tesla's competitors have said put the company up to seven years ahead.

"Problematic"
What exactly does that word mean? Anything the person who throws it against another wants it to mean.
It's the crime with no definition.

> "Problematic" What exactly does that word mean?
In UK at least, there is a pretty clear definition in law.
There are several "protected characteristics" - race, gender, sexual preference, ?age? (IIRC); it is against the law to discriminate on the grounds of these protected characteristics. So, for example, one cannot advertise a job post and say "white people can't apply". Exceptions can be made in special cases (e.g. gender requirements for some caring roles).
There are other sorts of laws, that one may point to; for example sexual coercion (anti-rape) laws. I'm sure we can all make a list. A "Problematic" person would be one who has either transgressed such laws or supports people who have transgressed such laws.

20 years ago so and so said such and such about XYZ. Here they are on video.
You are expecting people to be robots. That is not what people are. Respect takes time. You can also erase in one instant any respect you ever had.

Watch how Robin Williams very carefully talks about Mel Gibson. Not in a condemning way. But in 'that could have been me' way. The hate crowd would have ended him. He beat them to it.

So that's in UK law somewhere? Or are you conflating a nebulous word with breaking the law?

Fair point - you are correct that the word "Problematic" is of course more nebulous, and if someone loses at politics then they are out; as has been the case since forever. And, "political correct" is one weapon of many in the arsenal of politics.
