Uber Investors Slam Travis Kalanick in Open Letter to Employees [Updated]Benchmark Capital, one of Uber’s largest investors, is trying to explain its legal feud with former CEO Travis Kalanick to the ride- sharing company’s employees. Benchmark sued Kalanick for fraud last week, adding another controversy to the company’s already disastrous summer. In an open letter to Uber employees, Benchmark slammed Kalanick’s leadership of the company and said that he was purposely hindering the board’s search for a replacement CEO. The firm also criticized Uber’s slow response to the a report compiled by Eric Holder and Tammy Albarrán on harassment within Uber, and the stagnant search for a chief financial officer that has dragged on for more than two years.“It has appeared at times as if the search was being manipulated to deter candidates and create a power vacuum in which Travis could return,” the unsigned letter reads.

Other Uber shareholders led by Shervin Pishevar of Sherpa Capital have vehemently opposed Benchmark’s lawsuit. Pishevar and his supporters have argued that Benchmark’s actions are destroying the value of their investments in Uber. Benchmark’s lawsuit aims to force Kalanick off the board of the company he founded.“It’s easy to reduce this situation to a battle of personalities. But this isn’t about Benchmark versus Travis. It’s about ensuring that Uber can reach its full potential as a company. Unreal Recap Episode 8. And that will only happen if we get rid of the roadblocks and distractions that have plagued Uber, and its board, for far too long,” Benchmark wrote in its letter. Failing to act would have meant endorsing behavior that was utterly unacceptable in any company, let alone a company of Uber’s size and importance.”Benchmark’s letter also makes reference to the allegations contained in the Holder report, which have yet to become public.

Benchmark says that Uber has yet to start working on some of the recommendations laid out in the report, including coming up with new cultural values for the company. To describe it as hard- hitting would be an understatement,” Benchmark wrote. Gizmodo reached out to Uber and Pishevar for comment and will update with their responses.

Ubisoft Removes Fourth Of July Fireworks From Watch Dogs 2 After 'Noise Complaints'A temporary Independence Day celebration in Watch Dogs 2 was suspended early on July 4 because it was enraging too many people who still play Ubisoft’s late 2. The fireworks had been added to the game as part of the 1. They were set to erupt during the game’s night cycles from June 2.

July 1. 0. On Twitter, they were described by gamers as “completely obnoxious,” “fucking annoying” and “too frequent, too long and too loud.” Someone else said they were scaring their dog. Initially, Ubisoft defended the fireworks. Three days ago, in reply to a forum thread titled “Annoying Fireworks At night missions,” a Ubisoft community representative noted: “While you may find them loud in- game, they are really loud in real life too! The sound carries over the water and you can hear them all over the Bay!”By yesterday, Ubisoft yielded. On Reddit, a company rep noted: “The people have spoken and we have carried out their will! There was an annoying bug that snuck into our Independence Day Event that made the sound effects from the fireworks noticeable from everywhere on the map. They have been turned off as to avoid any further noise complaints.”Ubisoft: “It’s not possible to rush a fix for this so we made a tough choice to remove them.

The heart says no but the ear drums say yes.”When Tweeting the news, the official Watch Dogs 2 Twitter account cc’d the outlet Ars Technica, likely because of the publication’s Tuesday morning story headlined “Ubisoft wishes Watch Dogs 2 players a terrible Fourth of July.”Of course, as fans of whatever pop song you hate can tell you that even the most cacophonous noise has its fans. Sure enough, a Watch Dogs 2 player on the game’s subreddit lamented the firework deletion. The Ubi rep replied: “We liked them too! But when you’re playing the game at night for hours and can’t escape the popping no matter where you are, that’s not a positive experience for the player.

It’s not possible to rush a fix for this so we made a tough choice to remove them. The heart says no but the ear drums say yes.”.
