His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

So, Big Sur has been depopulated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those who work in the resorts and restaurants along this stretch of road have been laid off. Because they often live on-site at their workplaces, they have also lost their housing.

The manager of a small cafe in Gorda tells me some of her employees went to King City for temporary assistance and never came back.

"content": "\u003cp>DETROIT — A federal judge's order that bars Uber from using technology taken by a star engineer before he left Waymo is bad news for Uber and likely will hurt the ride-hailing company's own self-driving research, according to legal experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling by District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco Monday was mainly a victory for Waymo, the autonomous car unit spun off from Google, even though the judge refused to order a halt to Uber's autonomous car research as Waymo had requested, the experts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo showed \"compelling evidence\" that a former Waymo engineer named Anthony Levandowski downloaded thousands of confidential files before leaving the company, the order said. Levandowski set up his own firms, which then were sold to Uber for $680 million. Evidence showed that Levandowski and Uber planned the acquisitions before Levandowski left Waymo, Alsup's order said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He clearly believes that Levandowski is guilty as sin and that Uber hired him, knowing this full well,\" said John Coffee, a Columbia University law professor who specializes in white-collar crime and corporate governance. \"He is ruling that some of this information is stolen (or \"misappropriated\"), and in the long run that will likely have a devastating impact on Uber.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"yWajGW1N6igWyBiSKpFUSxT3P2ykOew5\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/24/google-spin-off-sues-uber-saying-leader-of-autonomous-vehicle-unit-stole-key-designs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sued Uber in February\u003c/a> alleging that the ride-hailing company is using stolen self-driving technology to build its own autonomous cars. Monday's ruling prevents Uber from using the technology on a laser navigational tool called Lidar that robotic cars use to see what's around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bottom line is the evidence indicates that Uber hired Levandowski, even though it knew or should have known that he possessed over 14,000 confidential Waymo files,\" Alsup wrote. \"At least some information from those files, if not the files themselves, has seeped into Uber's own Lidar development efforts.\" Uber was ordered to return all downloaded materials to Waymo by noon on May 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alsup ordered Uber to remove Levandowski from any role in Lidar, and that it stop him from copying or otherwise using the downloaded materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11459442\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11459442\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-800x508.jpg\" alt=\"The judge's ruling prevents Uber from using technology on a laser navigational tool called Lidar that robotic cars use to see what’s around them.\" width=\"800\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-800x508.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-160x102.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-1020x648.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-1180x750.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-960x610.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-240x153.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-375x238.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/UberSelfDriving2-520x330.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The judge's ruling prevents Uber from using technology on a laser navigational tool called Lidar that robotic cars use to see what’s around them. \u003ccite>(Jeff Swensen/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Waymo had sought to shut down Uber's autonomous car program until the dispute is settled. But Alsup determined that Waymo's patent infringement theories were too weak to support such an order. The judge ruled that although it's hard to imagine that Levandowski \"plundered Waymo's vault the way he did\" with no intent to use the material, Waymo still fell short of showing that the trade secrets were used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber said in a statement Monday that it's pleased the court allowed it to continue the research, including its own Lidar innovations. \"We look forward to moving toward trial and continuing to demonstrate that our technology has been built independently from the ground up,\" the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo, which is part of Google parent Alphabet Inc., said it welcomed the order stopping Uber from using \"stolen documents containing trade secrets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling, coupled with Alsup's order last week referring the case to federal prosecutors, signals that Alsup is leaning toward Waymo based on evidence thus far, said Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond. \"I think it's pretty clear that he sees it for the plaintiffs as opposed to defendants,\" Tobias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high-stakes corporate espionage case now will proceed to evidence exchanges between both sides and will go to trial if not settled, Tobias said. It could take months or more than a year to be resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling will hamper Uber's ability to develop a self-driving car more quickly than Waymo, Coffee said, but it's too early to say if Uber will be crippled by the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levandowski formed Ottomotto, a self-driving vehicle startup, on Jan. 15, 2016. Twelve days later, he resigned from Waymo without any notice. The following August, Uber bought Ottomotto and hired Levandowski to lead its self-driving car efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week Alsup took the rare step of referring the case to federal prosecutors for an investigation of possible criminal misconduct. The U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco hasn't responded to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Monday, Waymo confirmed that it is teaming up to test autonomous vehicles with Lyft, Uber's main ride-hailing competitor, in a potential challenge to Uber.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Levandowski set up his own firms, which then were sold to Uber for $680 million. Evidence showed that Levandowski and Uber planned the acquisitions before Levandowski left Waymo, Alsup's order said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He clearly believes that Levandowski is guilty as sin and that Uber hired him, knowing this full well,\" said John Coffee, a Columbia University law professor who specializes in white-collar crime and corporate governance. \"He is ruling that some of this information is stolen (or \"misappropriated\"), and in the long run that will likely have a devastating impact on Uber.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/24/google-spin-off-sues-uber-saying-leader-of-autonomous-vehicle-unit-stole-key-designs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sued Uber in February\u003c/a> alleging that the ride-hailing company is using stolen self-driving technology to build its own autonomous cars.

But Alsup determined that Waymo's patent infringement theories were too weak to support such an order. The judge ruled that although it's hard to imagine that Levandowski \"plundered Waymo's vault the way he did\" with no intent to use the material, Waymo still fell short of showing that the trade secrets were used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber said in a statement Monday that it's pleased the court allowed it to continue the research, including its own Lidar innovations. \"We look forward to moving toward trial and continuing to demonstrate that our technology has been built independently from the ground up,\" the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo, which is part of Google parent Alphabet Inc., said it welcomed the order stopping Uber from using \"stolen documents containing trade secrets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling, coupled with Alsup's order last week referring the case to federal prosecutors, signals that Alsup is leaning toward Waymo based on evidence thus far, said Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond. \"I think it's pretty clear that he sees it for the plaintiffs as opposed to defendants,\" Tobias said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high-stakes corporate espionage case now will proceed to evidence exchanges between both sides and will go to trial if not settled, Tobias said. It could take months or more than a year to be resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling will hamper Uber's ability to develop a self-driving car more quickly than Waymo, Coffee said, but it's too early to say if Uber will be crippled by the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levandowski formed Ottomotto, a self-driving vehicle startup, on Jan. 15, 2016. Twelve days later, he resigned from Waymo without any notice. The following August, Uber bought Ottomotto and hired Levandowski to lead its self-driving car efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week Alsup took the rare step of referring the case to federal prosecutors for an investigation of possible criminal misconduct. The U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco hasn't responded to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Monday, Waymo confirmed that it is teaming up to test autonomous vehicles with Lyft, Uber's main ride-hailing competitor, in a potential challenge to Uber.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
