The Vital Edge by Gideon Rosenblatt Work, society and the human experience in an era of machine intelligence.
In the category of what not to do. Things sound pretty bad at Uber. Can’t say I’m surprised. The company just kinda has that feel to it…

This is absolute CRAZY – Lots of people apparently are deleting uber over it
Doesn’t surprise me though, you are either skinny and get hit on, or fat and get told you are a fat lesbian a lot of the time, especially if you have an opinion!
A big enough asshole on the top will do it. That’s where assholes are the first to try to go. Since there is no democracy in corporations or elsewhere in society, there’s nothing that can be done about it.
Appearnetly UBER’s CEO has issued a statement saying that there will be an urgent investigation and if anyone is found guilty then they will be fired.
See the Verge’s article on the subject.

Thanks Firas Hermez. I just am suspicious of Kalanick. The company just keeps having all these issues (some outlined in this piece). He just gives that vibe of an alpha silicon valley douchebro. I would love it if I were wrong.
Same here, won’t believe anything until heads start rolling
I don’t want to say too much but in terms of presentations from very senior people at UBER, yes they say things like “solving transport problems” etc but are they really living these words?
Yeah, it’s pretty easy to smell faux-missiom, eh, Simon Robinson? Many will probably disagree with me, but Facebook was the same way early on. I used to watch the changes in their mission statement over time with dismay and bemusement. Now, I think they are getting more serious about it. But I don’t get the sense it was there from the get go. But yeah, Uber? Seems like there’s one real goal, and it doesn’t have the weird transportation in it…
I agree
