I really hope that stories like this will let us stop blaming specific companies like Uber and accept that this is a problem with our industry. We're never going to be able to fix this as long as we keep sticking our heads in the sand

Just giving them a few weeks at the company before asking seems like a problem. After only a few weeks, they probably don't have enough experience to answer with anything other than their own biases. For example: you call out your Goog

The problem isn't pushing an agenda (which I think everyone agrees is fine), it's adding something subjective with no legal definition to your license. Since no one can say objectively "we do good", you're banking o
