Rather than the main road of remarking about how the bad optics and evidence continue to get worse, I will say that this also reaffirms my sense that Uber is just not that good at the sort of machiavellian maneuvering that the SV crowd lauds them for. Ethics aside, this makes them seem less than competent at their unethical behavior.
