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."

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

We're back on. The first witness — Waymo CEO John Krafcik — has been called to the stand.
