#32While I don't think Levandowski is a good guy (he did take a bunch of files, even if I think it's unlikely they were used in any real way), I think the way Google pursued him hinders skilled individuals from switching between companies and spreading innovation. Here's an excerpt from a New Yorker article about the case: > The judge, William Alsup, quickly tired of such distractions. “Despite the excellent quality of…
Lewandowski still apparently took massive amounts of proprietary data from his employer. Even if he was smart enough to not put that data on his new companies systems we all know he had a way to reference it when necessary.

E.g. Don't steal what's not yours if you don't want to be pursued and have that action leveraged against you..

Which sane well intentioned employee takes the company's files with them when they leave?

#37Fuck this guy. These people are the cancer of Silicon Valley that generally has integrity and decency in pursuing startup endeavors; with some rotten apples here and there like this guy and Elizabeth Holmes.
I have never heard anyone associate Silicon Valley with integrity and decency (pursuing startup endeavors).

Yes. Don't open it. (I used a spare computer the moment I saw it was a .docx)
It's real but creates another document automatically saying "Hire me". That's malware.
