Correction. So he's not really a junior engineer. But how can he not think that everything he access on the Google's network is monitored?
- guelo 10y ago"now serves as a top ranking Uber executive"
- dba7dba 10y agoLol, yeah my bad. My God. What a waste of talent of him, and waste of time/energy for everyone involved. I wonder if Uber accepted the stolen files from Google knowing they were stolen.
- hluska 10y agoNot quite... First, Levandowski is far from a junior engineer. He's been described as the tech lead at Waymo and worked on Google Maps and Streetview. Second, he left Waymo to co-found Otto, a startup which existed for six months before Uber acquired it for several hundred million dollars. Third, he's now described as a senior executive at Uber. I'm not sure where Facebook comes from here. Did I miss something??
- dba7dba 10y agoYes, yes. One must not comment on HN while coding (simple stuff) and eating snack, and telling kids to do their homework. I work from home today. My apologies...
- hluska 10y agoDon't worry bud and thanks for your reply!! I knew there was a 50% chance that I was severely confused and I appreciate you taking the time to clarify.
