In an April 2016 board presentation, Uber was going to spend $592 million on Ottomotto (partly Uber restricted stock). This is a few months after Levandowski leaves Waymo. "They hadn’t done anything yet! What were they buying?" in. deed.

We're taking a 15 minute break at this time. ALSUP: Don't talk about this case. ... talk about the Superbowl or something else.

Waymo opening is done, Uber is going next. Then there will be a private session closed to the public where they discuss the trade secrets.
Afficher cette discussion -
Uber opening has begun. we're having a lot of technical difficulties with the sound cutting in and out.

UBER: We just heard a tale of conspiracy between Levandowski on the one hand and Uber on the other hand. There’s no conspiracy, there’s no cheating, end of story.
Afficher cette discussion -
Uber points out that Levandowski is not a party o the suit. (That's because the case has gone to arbitration btw)

Now we're back to the Zbrozek email. "....low value enough that he had even considered hosting it off Google infrastructure."
Afficher cette discussion -
UBER: You know it’s bad if they have to mention it in their part of the opening and explain it away.
Afficher cette discussion -
UBER: You know what else Waymo didn’t tell you? Uber never got any proprietary information.
Afficher cette discussion -
UBER: There’s not a single piece of Google proprietary information at Uber. Nothing. Zero. That’s it. Period. They don’t want to talk about that.

UBER: Anthony Levandowski did some things at Google he shouldn’t have done. But there’s no connection whatsoever between any files he downloaded, all these little emails, and what’s in here.

UBER: Engineers are free, in California and elsewhere, to go from one job to another. They bring all of their engineering talent... ...the only thing that's not okay is to take trade secrets.
Afficher cette discussion -
Uber doesn't think what's at issue aren't real trade secrets (and indeed, it's up to the jury to decide)

Carmody is now hyping Uber's ATG (Advanced Technology Group) and its roots at Carnegie. Essentially, Waymo's goal is to hype Levandowski's talent, and Uber is to downplay it

i hope the verge pays for lip reading classes so i'll be prepared for the next time this happens

Each side only gets 70 minutes total for the opening and Alsup only lets the trial go until 1 pm each day, by my calculation this delay will only be cutting into witness testimony -- my guess is we're only hearing from Waymo CEO Krafcik today

ALSUP: The mystery signal from outer space we don’t quite know about yet.

Carmody on again but the sound is still spotty T_____T

In 2015, before Levandowski went to Uber, head of Google Chauffeur was telling Page and Brin that "UBER is acquiring the people I suggested we hire 1.5 years ago but was denied the opportunity to do so."
