I also think the sexual harassment claims pose a massive liability. If the harassment is as wide spread as Fowler says it is, Uber could be looking at a massive class action lawsuit.

Uber's drivers aren't really fans of them though, nor are they loyal to a single company. Uber could disappear tomorrow and all its drivers would be fine on Lyft.

Doesn't look too promising so far.

They seem to be fundraising awfully quick for a company that has plenty of cash on hand. They'd probably have to fund-raise again or go public to pay off the damages.

I wouldn't trust a one time fee app to be properly maintained though.

Living in the US illegally is as harmful to other people as internet piracy, sure the crime may have consequences for the country on a macro-scale, but any individual act of piracy is not harming anyone. I think most would agree that the me

The New York State legislature is often controlled by both parties and it's in the GOP's best interests to do what they can to stifle the vote while they have control.

The results of the actual polling machines can be trusted. Nobody is claiming that Russia hacked into the polling stations and changed the results, which is what Trump supporters were going on about prior to the election. That does not mean

There were absolutely concerns over Russia's cyber attacks before the election. It was even an issue brought up at the debates.

That's why it was "mostly false" instead of "false". Technically, he told the truth. But the way he wants to spin it is false.

Because it could endanger their source. Sometimes different versions of a document are given to different people to try to figure out who's leaking. And having people in the White House who are willing to leak important information to

People seem to be defending Uber by saying they're disrupting taxi cab monopolies. But Uber themselves is positioning themselves to become a monopoly. It's naive to think that once they're there they are going to have the peo

I doubt Uber is going to hire you if your goal is to change its business policies. Voting as a shareholder is also not the same as voting as a citizen. Everyone has the right to vote as a citizen, only the right h shareholders in Uber have

This is why I think state Attorney Generals should be given the authority to sue on behalf of those affected when a systemic problem like this comes to light.

by memmcgee 10y ago
Indeed. Fowler already came out in public and said this is a systemic problem. If you accept that Fowler is a credible source, which I think is a fair assessment considering she's a talented and well regarded engineer who has nothing t

Because any woman who speaks up under their real name is bound to get harassment from gamergate types and other misogynistic asses who have nothing better to do. Fowler is already getting harassed online. Additionally, assuming that Uber is

Fowler's post established that this was happening to many women in the company. If we accept that Fowler is a credible witness, which I think is a fair assessment, we already know that this is a systemic problem. It's safe to assu

That's not really true. Republicans have also fought against having open access to mail in ballots. In many states you need to have a "justification" in order to get a mail-in ballot. If anyone could get a mail-in ballot it w
