[黃 (huáng) literally means yellow, but in slang and compound words, it can mean vulgar or lewd]....

He should be allowed to retain the CEO role if he tattoos the following on his right forearm:

"Do not #&$+ where you eat."

Seriously, a second mistress, who is unqualified?

I just put a large amount of money into Nvidia, and I am aghast.

You never, ever have intimate relationships with professional connections. Ever.

I have traveled to Colombia many times.

Prostotution is legal there. I never availed myself in this, but I saw what was available in the Provenza.

Cartagena is accustomed to this, but Medellin is not so much.

I am a follower of Kant, a formulation of his categorical imperative is that "we never treat people as a means, but always as ends in themselves."

I try not to touch people, because that is a big ask.

when I was a kid, my parents taught me that making fun of other people's names, especially surnames, is the lowest form of action.

You have my deepest sympathy that your parents hadn't quite evolved to that level of civilisation to teach you the same. Life must be tough for your childhood in such primitive and vile family.

Ai yai yai - resorting to that degree of personal aggression is absolutely not ok on HN, regardless of how bad some comment is or you feel it is.

Your comment would have been fine, and even appropriate, had you stopped at the first sentence. What you wrote after that is much worse than the comment you're criticizing, and obviously a bannable offense.

I don't want to ban you, so if you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful. We've had to ask you this more than once before.

I find it hard to describe why this comment triggers me... partly because 黃 is the 7th most common surname in China. And I don't think any native speaker would make that connection. It's like saying "haha that guy named Ryan Johnson was adulterous because his surname is slang for a penis!"

That's totally a joke people would make. Joking about nominative determinism happens all the time.

You just made me have a flashback to the early 90s when there was a popular brand of t-shirts called 'Big Johnson' with the character E. Normus Johnson. The jokes wrote themselves and I am sort of shocked to see they are actually still in business!
Re:Jensen Huang Said to Have Had Relationship with Nvidia Ex... by rjh29 on Thursday November 12, 2026 @12:51PM (#50471276)
It does, but I think Johnson is too much of a stretch to be funny, which is why I chose that example.

And nominative determinism is a dick move regardless of whether people do it or not.

Are you native speaker of Chinese? Have you lived in China? I didn't think so. The Chinese themselves make fun of this word all the time. The Chinese certainly have a great sense of humor, unlike you.

Are you also into numerology?
Re:Jensen Huang Said to Have Had Relationship with Nvidia Ex... by jan_m_savage on Wednesday November 11, 2026 @09:58PM (#50462502)
No, but you could be into making five out of two and two.

I'd never noticed, but that's the first character in my Japanese family name, and I was once in a relationship with a Chinese girl whose family name was close to huáng.

I joked that she was a PRC intelligence asset because of what a perfect partner she was and came out of nowhere, which doubled as a subtle dig at her family having been supporters of the cultural revolution.
