- lorenzhs 11y agoIn that case, the established, respected and ethical way is to state that affiliation in the comment.
- LeoNatan25 11y agoI don't get why people working there would defend their company's shady tactics. But then again, I never understand why people blindly defend their countries, sport teams, etc. If the tactics are not shady, come out and plainly state it. No such statement has been made that I can see.
- sangnoir 11y agoUber are mold-breakers who are well known for 'disrupting' "the established, respected and ethical way" of doing X. They are simply revolutionizing the old-fashioned and corrupt HN commenting industry.
- AnkhMorporkian 11y agoOr, alternatively, people (like me) who don't like a witch hunt. I have no affiliation with Uber, no affiliation with ride-sharing or taxis, have never used them, but I think the entire situation is being blown way out of proportion. Uber certainly doesn't need me jumping to their defense, but it annoys me when people read malicious intentions into something that has a perfectly reasonable non-malicious explanation. Sure, malice does sometimes exist on these things, but most instances of this stuff in major apps turn out to be entirely benign. Ill-planned perhaps, but not malicious.
