I'm pretty sure it's still going on (so no), both https://twitter.com/kateconger and https://twitter.com/CSaid are live tweeting.

Unfortunately, @CSaid mistakenly used Waymo instead of Uber in a few places, but she did have an interesting tidbit I haven't seen in any of the subsequent articles[0]: the former employee of Uber claimed that he was reprimanded in a performance review and then demoted for "not protecting more info from discovery." How is that not a huge deal?

Are you sure that that should say Uber and not Waymo?

Judging by the tweets around there it was Waymo's turn to speak, and it seems more likely Waymo would be quoting the letter than Uber.

I think it is a pretty big deal

I didn't say the tweet I referenced was one she was mistaken about. I said it had an interesting tidbit that I had not otherwise seen reported. For ones she got wrong, see https://twitter.com/CSaid/status/935599952515837952 and https://twitter.com/CSaid/status/935541698284863488. The judge was clearly upset at Uber's lawyers, not those of Waymo. Mistakes happen, but it made her stream more confusing than it should have been, because you had to think harder about each reference to either company. @KateConger's stream was much clearer, but she didn't mention the performance review testimony.

Ah your right, my mistake.
