I know Joe (the ousted CISO). I’ve known him for almost 15 years, and worked with him professionally in the past.
This is not like him. He was the most ethical lawyer I ever met. Everything was by the book. He cares about privacy. He cares about users. He’s prosecuted the worst of the worst.
Something here isn’t right.
Ever since Susan Fowler told her story about what happened to her at Uber, I have only used Lyft, and have encouraged all my friends to do the same. I plan to never use Uber again.
Man, I don't know if Uber is evil or if most tech companies are evil and Uber just doesn't drop the kind of money on PR strategery that an evil company need to drop in order to seem normal. But either way, holy cow does that company come off as toxic. They've completely revolutionized the drive-for-hire industry and all anyone ever hears about it what a D-bag their CEO is or how toxic and mysogonist their work enviro…
I never quite know how to think about them. On the one hand, they’d changed an entire industry in a way that people wanted but was getting serious resistance from the entrenched players. They had to break a lot of rules and go around a lot of people with a whole lot of connections to get where they are and in the process made a lot of enemies. I expect blowback. I expect negative news. They essentially pulled it off…

I propose a new law, similar to Godwin's. "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Trump approaches 1"
You can't say anything approaching positive about Trump. You will be down voted. The vehement supporters of freedom of speech doesn't support this. Well, the irony.

Good, it's important to judge a company of 10k people on one person's story. That's usually a great strategy. I'm not defending uber, but this kind of attitude is exactly what got Trump elected. You can't generalize and demonize entities based on one person's view.

Surely you are joking?? Why would you agree to such a thing?
There's a lot of things we as adults agree to where the consequences can be steep. This is one of the easier ones: we just show up on time. We plan accordingly and we, as responsible adults, manage to pull it off. That's not hard: so why not agree to such a thing? Another perspective on this is why should we expect someone else to bear the consequences of our failing to meet our responsibilities? If we're late pickin…

You can move fast and break things without being a jerk or a misogynist. They don't get an excuse because they mixed the two up.
Something about this is sitting right with me. I know Joe (the ousted CISO). I’ve known him for almost 15 years, and worked with him professionally in the past. This is not like him.
