Proof I'm paranoid. My greater point, however, is that they have done some really shady stuff, and stealing competitor's IP is part of their culture, so their behavior itself promotes and justifies paranoia on my part and on the part of anyone looking to work for or do business with Uber.
Reputation is everything.
- maverick_iceman 10y agoIt's pretty stupid to get paranoid over this. As GP pointed out if you logged out then it's very unlikely that they will get access.
- w00tw00tw00t 10y agoI think it's pretty stupid to consider any consumer device to be secure enough. I did hear on HN some time before that interview that some USB device can be used to bypass the lock screen, which was the basis for my worrying. Now, some are saying in this thread that it is possible (or at least was at the time) while others saying that it is not (and was not) -- Even an educated sample of tech folks cannot make up their mind, so there is (or at least was) room for justified concern... no?

- linkregister 10y agoI must've missed that story, when did Uber steal competitor IP? (Except this one, of course. To be fair it was Otto before the acquisition)
