I think there may be a disconnect between the "a lot of people" I'm referring to, and who you may have in mind. I'm referring to people at large who are aware enough of technology to follow who Uber is, and observed their business practices and Kalanick's predilection for libertarianism. You would seem to be referring to a much more select demographic, such as those who would have been in attendance at Startup School.
Good point!
>How quickly history is rewritten. This is the same company that presented at Startup School several years ago to significant applause.
This is completely unrelated to Uber's cultural and ethical problems.
The comment was "I think a lot of people have always had a negative view of Travis Kalanick and Uber's business practices, but they enjoyed the convenience of the service just enough to look the other way."
