""[H]e wooed his wife of 41 years 'not with my looks, of course, but with my strong capability to complete homework' when they first met as electrical engineering students...."

"'There were, like, 250 kids in electrical engineering, and maybe three girls,' Huang told Stephen Witt, who wrote his 2025 biography The Thinking Machine. 'She was the best-looking.' Huang, on the other hand, 'looked like I was about 12.'... [T]hey got married....  Huang worked for software firm LSI Logic and Lori — herself a successful engineer — at Silicon Graphics.... At first, Lori earned more than her husband (one friend even described her as a better engineer), but she was soon eclipsed after giving birth to their son, Spencer, in 1990, and daughter, Madison, the following year. After struggling to find reliable childcare, Lori gave up her career to raise her children. 'Lori did 90 per cent of the parenting,' Huang said in his biography, admitting to only really spending time with his children at weekends. In May, he told the How I Built This podcast: 'Lori took care of everything and I don’t remember her complaining one time.'"

So, which is it? Polyamory is hip if practiced for ideological reasons? Or the successful and apparently conventional are obliged to be faithful because it looked like they had a moral philosophy? Which one am I supposed to be outraged over? Sleeping around is good if backed by ideological babbling? Bad if just for the sake of getting laid?

Looks wise she's not all that far removed from Bernadette on The Big Bang Theory but I should think it highly unlikely she's funny in the same way.

Achilles said...

Taking down Jensen Huang is an attack on the US. Jensen was not sufficiently supportive of the leftists so he gets taken out and attacked.

But people like Ann voted for Bill Clinton.

The real crime here is taking away the girl boss career and letting the generational male talent keep building chips right? She should have stayed at work not him. She was a better engineer!(some said)

This story is meant to make women think his wife was smarter and better than him and because she took care of the kids a man changed the world and not a woman.

Fuck these people.

Women are stupid to be led around like this.

My late wife was Filipina/Chinese. I’ve spent some time in the Chinese community in the Philippines. The Huang’s arrangement is common among Chinese married couples. Multiple wives or girlfriends are expected and common perks for a wealthy Chinese man. It’s traditional. So long as he takes care of his financial commitments, he’s good. Here’s a huge surprise for Western liberals. That diversity thing? Different cultures have different sexual morals. China is not a Judeo/Christian society.

excellent questions - ST.

Anyone is Trump's orbit must be destroyed.
Ignore the corrupt Biden family and give them awards.

Achilles said...

This is a psyop.

Everyone knew about these relationships.

The Democrat party is just a bought and paid for wing of the CCP.

Just like the "organizations" against data centers.

Achilles said...

The future is robots powered by tokens. There will be X number of robots per human and in order to make it so your robots can mow the lawn or fold your clothes they will need tokens.

The same goes for analyzing RADAR signatures and identifying targets. Differentiating between expensive weapons and cheap ECM rigs.

That means whoever can produce the most electricity and has the most compute will win the next major war. It will also determine which people are the most productive and wealthy.

The Democrat party and the left in the US are explicitly attacking the country and the people that live in it. Partly out of stupidity and partly because they are vicious evil people.

If the US wins there not be a hot war.

If Europe/China win there will be a hot war.

William said...

Their looks are complementary, and they had a successful marriage. To some extent I disapprove of Huang's sex life, but to some extent I disapprove of everybody's sex life. He acted foolishly but these aren't monstrous crimes. (Well, if he knew that hot Chinese girl was a spy, then yeah, he deserves to crash and burn, but otherwise no.).......Huang did a lot of things right. He founded and developed a five trillion dollar company. He chose an appropriate helpmate who helped him raise successful children. These dalliances should not define his life.

Freder Frederson said...

"The Democrat party is just a bought and paid for wing of the CCP."

So are you claiming, without a shred of evidence, that somehow the Democrats conspired with the CCP to set this honey trap? Sheesh.

"The Huang’s arrangement is common among Chinese married couples. Multiple wives or girlfriends are expected and common perks for a wealthy Chinese man."

You have missed the entire point of this scandal. She may be a Chinese spy! Trump and Rubio (and probably many others) knew that she might be a spy and did nothing.

Peachy+2 said...

The CCP is paying people to be anti-Data center.
Leftists need to stop using municipal water, stop using electricity, and end their use of downloads, and computer use in general.

Eva Marie said...

You guys are stupid/funny. The issue is HE WAS FUCKING A SUSPECTED SPY, and somehow you’ve made it about leftists, Bill Clinton, and women having careers. Stop defending a guy because he was living your fantasy and start thinking with your head. No, the other one.

Freder Frederson said...

"The CCP is paying people to be anti-Data center."

Really?! Where do I sign up? My income has dried up since that cheap bastard George Soros stopped paying me to comment on this blog. Instead of my regular crypto deposit, I got a terse email saying "mission accomplished".

Eva Marie said...

The real question is whether he was being manipulated - or whether the relationship helped facilitate dealings with China that he wanted anyway.

Dunham said...

Exactly! The scandal isn't about the affair. Trump and this administration knew this was a global security risk and did nothing. Intensely alarming to say the least.

Humperdink said...

“The CCP is paying people to be anti-Data center."

Freder responds: “Really? Where I sign up?”

Don’t be silly here Freder, it’s not you, it’s the leadership getting the cash. You and your ilk just follow the leader.

William said...

Do we know with certainty that he knew she was a Chinese spy.? That subject might not have come up during their pillow talk. If she was a Chinese spy, what has he done to further Chinese interests. My understanding is that he wanted to ship those chips to further the interests of his company. Is what he has done detrimental to the security interests of the USA. I know China might profit by using these chips, but that's not the same as giving them the wherewithal to create their own........If I had a few billion dollars and the wherewithal to act out my fantasy life, I would hire Charlie Sheen as my technical consultant and live a lot larger than Huang.

Freder Frederson said...

"Don’t be silly here Freder, it’s not you, it’s the leadership getting the cash. You and your ilk just follow the leader."

Spare me. I (and the rest of lefties on this blog) have been accused of being a paid troll for Soros.

Eva Marie said...

If he was selling out the country, who gives a shit whether it was for money or sex? “It benefited his company” isn’t a defense.

Leftist cultists don't always require payment to be obedient to the current narrative.

Bob Boyd said...

"The issue is HE WAS FUCKING A SUSPECTED SPY"

That's correct, but the commenters above are responding to the post. Most of us are probably paywalled out of reading the whole thing at the link.

For example, there's this:
"At first, Lori earned more than her husband (one friend even described her as a better engineer), but she was soon eclipsed after giving birth to their son, Spencer, in 1990, and daughter, Madison..."

She didn't just decide to have and raise children. She is a victim of the patriarchy. She was eclipsed! She fell into her husbands shadow. Her superior brains and talent wasted. Her potential stolen.
"After struggling to find reliable childcare, Lori gave up her career to raise her children."
Like all mothers, she was also a victim of our greedy capitalist system.
Don't you get heartily sick of the unrelenting propaganda and narrative promotion?
It's a newspaper article. They could have simply told us what happened.
'At first, Lori earned more than her husband (one friend even described her as a better engineer), but she soon gave birth to a son, Spencer, in 1990, and a daughter, Madison, the following year. Lori gave up her career to raise her children.'

Aggie said...

I bet we're going to find out she's better at other things, too.

Eva Marie said...

Aw gee, the NYT is sympathizing with a woman whose husband probably betrayed his country to help a dictatorship bent on destroying us.

Joe Bar said...

Lori may have been the better engineer, but, had the roles reversed, I would contend that Invidia would not be the giant it is. It may not have even started.

As far as the suspected Chinese spy, is there any indication that Jensen Huang knew of the accusation? I know that Trump told Commerce Secretary Lutnick to end Megaspeed's access three times. Why is Lutnick still there?

Peachy+2 said...

OT:
Poland v. Germany.

Let leftism in the door, fail miserably. HARM to the people. Germany has a history of preferred F themselves.

Aggie said...

I haven't spent a lot of time digging into this, but what I find interesting is this:

Nobody has officially said anything about these supposed billions in surreptitious sales of advanced chips to Chinese interests yet. No charges have been laid. No specifics provided, just a few unsupported factoids abut highly advanced chips supposedly being sold outside of trade restrictions, supposedly through the honey pot.

Nobody has officially said anything about the supposed Chinese spy being an actual spy - no official charge has been made, nothing substantial has been offered, no bona fides. She's just disappeared from view.

He had affairs. On the face of it, in modern society it's a big 'so what?'. Nobody has charged sexual abuse, they appear completely consensual. The VP within the organization was a subordinate but was she a direct report? Yes all of these things are frowned upon, against policy, and all of these things happen regularly.

Has this been blown up to be bigger than it is, is there less here rather than more? Not hearing anything from the State Department, or the FBI, or any administration official, nor anything in the way of hard proof. The only thing suggesting there is more, is that he resigned so quickly. Why isn't there more supporting evidence?

Rosalyn C. said...

In the photo he still looks like a 12 year old (with white hair) standing next to a mature woman. Who knows what the marriage and their relationship was like, but it looks like they led separate lives. That's OK if it's an honest agreement, but apparently it was not and he violated his family's trust.
Arnold Schwarzenegger did a similar thing which was also quite shocking. It's hard to imagine how people get so spoiled they can take these major things like their family for granted. I'm not even offended by his immorality, just saddened.

I haven't seen reporting that any technology was stolen but the recklessness of having a relationship with a Chinese agent is damning. So bizarre and just sad for that family.

Bob Boyd said...

It's The London Times. But it would be the same thing in the NYT. They're not sympathizing with an individual in that excerpt. They write this same narrative all the time. If she had been accused of spying, they'd still find some way to write that it was her husband's and society's fault. It's so predictable and boring.
I'm not excusing Jensen Huang. At the very least he betrayed his wife and behaved terribly and I sympathize with his wife. but as to the spying, we don't know exactly what happened or why right now. You're right that it sure doesn't look good.

Freder Frederson said...

"The CCP is paying people to be anti-Data center."

Half an hour later:

wtf?

Yes this marriage can survive. You don’t just throw away 45 years. I have known couples who were stronger than ever after infidelity and the gratuitous power of forgiveness.

Eva Marie said...

@Bob Boyd: Lori Huang has been humiliated in the most public way possible. Is it wrong to try to give her back some dignity with a kind article about her abilities?
Does the NYT have its own motives and not care one bit about her? Maybe so. The article is still a kindness.

Eva Marie said...

Sorry, the London Times.

Peachy+2 said...

I don't have a subscription to the London Times.
My comment on the wife is - do what you need to do.

Eva Marie said...

“They write this same narrative all the time.”
Because this is the narrative all the time.
Ir’s the public humiliation and the guys dumping shit on the wife that makes it a little more poignant.

planetgeo said...

This is clearly the Era of "The Revenge of the Parasites and Pathetic Losers".

China, Democrats, AWFLs, [fill in favorite grievance group]...all seething with envy and raging hatred at those more accomplished than them, believing it could have/should have been them and would have been them if they just got rid of the successful. But first, working feverishly to cheat, steal, and get whatever they can from the successful. Probably because they know they better get it while they can in case, you know, they really can't build it all back up themselves when the successful are destroyed.

He put his chips in more than one basket and apparently got a high on the power and influence that came with it. A narcissist’s high. Is it any wonder Trump and Huang got along so well?

But this goes beyond Jensen Huang’s alleged indiscretions. The real questions concern whether Nvidia technology reached a foreign adversary through channels connected to Huang, what the administration knew, and why Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly resisted efforts to tighten export controls despite national security warnings.

And what about Trump? He was reportedly briefed on the intelligence concerns. Why did his administration continue approving chip sales to China? Who benefited from those decisions, and were any personal financial interests involved? These are questions Congress needs to investigate.

Freder Frederson said...

"The post is about the wife."

Not anymore. If not for her husband banging a suspected Chinese spy, no one would be interested in her story.

Bob Boyd said...

"Is it wrong to try to give her back some dignity with a kind article about her abilities?"

Not at all and I included those compliments in what I proposed they could have written.

Freder - why the ??? Leftists are paid to be dutiful foot-soldiers to the narrative. See here. Many of you hive leftists do not require payment.

The three stages of Althouse commenters:
1. Women should abandon their careers, stay home, and have babies.
2. Women should accept their husbands’ affairs.
3. Women should smile while their husbands publicly humiliate them.

Meanwhile all of these deals and all of this adultery was happening while Biden was President.

Everyone knew about it.

We all know why it is a problem now.

Actually I don't see the wife complaining.

It looks like she made choices too.

Why do you hate women who raise their own children and don't send them off to be raised by other people/democrats?

Eva Marie said...

Not complaining in public isn’t the same as not being hurt. She doesn’t owe you a public breakdown.
