I support your idea, start a school of philosophy on this? Crowdsourced capitalism?

It is a problem mainly in Asia and countries which has unique characters in their alphabet e.g. russia cyrllic, the baltic states, certain romance languages which requires a large amount of accents e.g. french

I really dislike how so many editors bind the evaluation/compile/menu key to ctrl + space or ctrl + shift. On the default multilingual key setting on windows, it is especially annoying when you want to run the code but instead your typing language changes to chinese

It seems that most are commenting on why Uber executive shouldn't be doing this. But none has viewed this from Uber's perspective. If your startup was being threatened by a brown-nosing bonus-loving trigger-happy reporter, what are you going to do? Publish a press statement? Hire more reporter to spread positive propaganda? A cost-benefit analysis would show it is simply cheaper to hire a hitman to take her out. Before you argue with me over ethics and human rights, this isn't the first time a company has did this. Do a google on volkswagon and Glaxo-smith klein cost-benefit analysises and they are equally expedient. So why our society allows large corporations to trade capital for human lives while we condamn a startup for doing the exact same thing?!?
