Have you read the article? Greyball is a "fake version" of the Uber app. The Uber app displays a live map of driver locations. If the app thinks you're a cop, it will display fake locations. > This part isn't about th

IANAL as well, but I would guess not. They didn't destroy evidence (which can be obstruction), they just hid their data. Absent any warrants, I'm not sure what would compel Uber to give the police an accurate live feed of driver l

Do Europeans not have a fifth amendment equivalent right? What law compels Uber to give all data at all times to the police without a warrant?

From reading the article, it seems that Uber displayed fake data in their app when they detected the user was law enforcement. This means that cops could not use the app to locate Uber drivers in real time. I gotta say, I'm not sure I

> From the PoV of a cop with a warrant Did this ever happen? The article makes no mention of warrants or subpoenas for live driver location data. Even if such a warrant was issued, it would probably not be satisfied via the Uber app UI.

We had a pool growing up, and we actually had to regularly drain the water because it rained much more than it evaporated. We didn't live in a dessert though, so YMMV.

Is there a word for this kind of logical fallacy? GP asserts that what the engineers did is wrong. They didn't say that the public should get to decide what codenames to use or anything like that. They simply pointed out the arrogance

I would expect that halving their monthly payments on that debt would have a significant effect on their monthly budget. Why wouldn't that be the case?

In my experience, the people who spend so much time maintaining their Linux are the people hacking on their OS. Which is something I encourage; the customizability of Linux is part of what makes it so great. But if you load up the newest Ub

Apple has monopoly power, and engages in anticompetitive behavior. Being a monopoly in the US is not illegal. Abusing your market power and being anti-competitive in a way that harms consumers is illegal. Apple is one of the world's la

I don't understand why Apple seems to get a pass for anti competitive behavior. Microsoft lost that anti trust lawsuit for merely including IE in Windows. Apple not only bundles safari, but they don't let you use any other browser
