It's time for western companies to stop pretending it's possible to be economically successful in China whilst remaining true to their purported western values.
I've really grown to dislike the "people who presumably consider themselves ethical defending a regime that represses free speech and expression, brutally crushes dissenters, disappears ethical doctors, is led by a 'president for life' dictator, and has literally hauled off 1M muslims to internment campus where their organs are being harvested and their culture is being erased, thing".

Repl.it is amazing -- my company builds software for higher-ed and repl.it is consistently the most oft-requested integration, in CS classes but also in STEM more broadly.
Stop rewarding the most hyperbolic, sensational content by propagating it the furthest, fastest. Turn tweets into "ice-berg tips"; user taps on tweet to see more, nuanced info.
"As investors, we certainly want to see Uber succeed, but success must be measured in more than just returns."
-- Sure, but Uber is already a mission-driven company whose success is inversely proportional to horrible things like DUI deaths -- statements like these impede their progress
Fowler's post shed light on Uber's serious internal problems -- no doubt. But going public with a post like this erodes founder-investor trust. It's across the line.
Publicly condemning the internal culture the post depicted would be reasonable, even helpful, but trying to "expose" Uber's leadership for showmanship and posturing ('hiring' Holder who was ostensibly involved long-before the Fowler post) to mitigate the pr fallout is counterproductive. Don't kick your founder when he's down.
