Waymo is getting out ahead of a key piece of Uber evidence, an email from Sasha Zbrozek of Google, a sysadmin(?)

Now we're back to the Zbrozek email. "....low value enough that he had even considered hosting it off Google infrastructure."

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.

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

Audio has been hijacked and someone is now reading names over the intercom

The mysterious voice continues speaking ALSUP: ... where is that coming from?
Afficher cette discussion -
Alsup's lips are oving on the screen but no audio now, overflow room is fuuuuucked

No sound but we can see turmoil in the courtroom and attorneys milling around while Alsup speaks

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."

2016 email: "Larry is upset we allowed him to leave and walked him out even though the leaders didn’t trust him. Larry is worried he’s going to start something competitive."

July 11 2016 email from Krafcik: "fyi — two people to Otto… need a plan..."

Dmitri Dolgov (Google) email: "One of the significant effects of today’s Otto/Uber news is increased attrition risk for us."
Afficher cette discussion -
"This, combined with interesting and plentiful exit opportunities (e.g., via Baidu, Didi, Lyft, OEMs, etc) makes Chauffeur look less competitive from the financial perspective, so I think we should be seriously concerned."

Back to the Zbrozek email about the 14k documents being "low-value." A second email in 2017: "I’m a little leery because both of those numbers aren’t really meaningful to any narrative."
Afficher cette discussion -
"It also has a chilling effect on being a hardware engineer -- we all do full checkouts, and it makes me uncomfortable to think that lawyers are trying to ascribe suspicion to it."
Afficher cette discussion -
This case is fascinating because the rank and file of Silicon Valley are almost uniformly rooting against Uber, but what's happening is that talent is getting punished for hopping companies
Afficher cette discussion -
It's possible that Levandowski represents everything that Silicon Valley workers hate about their own workplaces.
