The media's outlook on Uber is always very fascinating to me. At least this article got things mostly factually correct, but the amount of times that blatant speculation and rumor have been published about Uber is astounding. Before UberX, Uber followed all the laws to a tee. This article correctly points out, that only after lyft and sidecar were flaunting the law and getting away with it, did Uber decide it must do so as well in order to stay ahead of the competition. Laws and regulations about new and innovative technologies and products are a grey area. While I don't agree with a lot of the shitty tactics Uber employed, I can say with confidence that 80% of the bad shit written about Uber is totally false. In hindsight, Kalanick could have and should have handled things better. Looking at the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech, I find myself wishing there was a Kalanick out there pushing for innovation rather than letting the banks reign everything in and stifle it.
