Uber uses data-mining to identify and block riders who may be cops, investigators or regulators

I’m totally on your side. I wish I could ride in your car - but I’m in the UK!

The idea of Uber is fantastic, if partially horridly implemented (the drivers in the UK have been having a spat with Uber).

It’s the tech culture, the behind the scenes, that’s making things wrong.

I don’t know what happens next, and in no way do I wish a single Uber driver any ill - every single one I’ve dealt with has been fantastic - but I can’t give money to an organisation that reinforces, even creates new versions of, the inequitable culture that could deny my intelligent, beautiful, driven female children the future they deserve.

And on that - tech geeks, this is fair warning: They know the gig, and they’re comin’ to getcha. And in all seriousness, you do not want to mess with them - they will mess with your heads.

As an aside, Kickstarter issued some kind of annual report email saying 61% female, including at board level. Kudos.
