- newjersey 10y agoWhen it comes to Uber, I think the default is to assume malice unless we can prove it is incompetence.
- chris_wot 10y agoYeah, I'm afraid that in Uber's case this is what you must assume. Normally I don't default to such a state, I honestly feel that most times it's just incompetence within an organization, but in Uber's case they have been a bad actor for a long time now so they just can't be trusted. I won't be using Uber, ever.

- frostymarvelous 10y agoUber us quite literally a supervillain! They've done almost every despicable thing in the tech industry. Sabotage, illegal practices etc al. That's why this is actually big on HN. With uber, shoot first then ask questions later!
