The operation was the culmination of a 5-year investigation which resulted in the arrest of 10 criminal organization members on federal criminal charges in Santa Cruz, Daly City, and Watsonville.

"content": "\u003cp>Waymo, the company that began as Google's self-driving-car project, is suing Uber, saying that when the company bought a startup founded by Waymo veterans, it also acquired thousands of design files stolen by those same former Waymo employees. Waymo \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/waymo/a-note-on-our-lawsuit-against-otto-and-uber-86f4f98902a1#.78q96tknf\" target=\"_blank\">is citing\u003c/a> forensic evidence — and an email that the company says inadvertently blew its former employees' cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The startup in question is Otto, which was only months old when Uber bought it for \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-tech-volvo-otto-idUSKCN10T1TR\">roughly $680 million\u003c/a> last summer. The deal resulted in Uber putting Otto co-founder Anthony Levandowski in charge of its self-driving-vehicle effort — which includes both trucking, a field Otto had focused on, and personal vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem, according to Waymo and Alphabet (Google's umbrella company) is that before he left, Levandowski \"took extraordinary efforts to raid Waymo's design server and then conceal his activities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/waymo/a-note-on-our-lawsuit-against-otto-and-uber-86f4f98902a1#.9s91snwmx\">says it views Levandowski's actions\u003c/a> as \"part of a concerted plan to steal Waymo's trade secrets and intellectual property.\" In its court filing, the company says the plan was meant to help Uber recover from being \"more than five years behind\" in the race to develop reliable autonomous vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Requests for comment on the case from Uber and Otto were unanswered as of Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo's accusations center on LiDAR — essentially, the technology that allows self-driving vehicles to see the world around them by using lasers to shape an evolving 3-D image of other objects on the road. Waymo says it invested millions of dollars and thousands of hours to develop its advanced and cost-effective LiDAR sensors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo says Levandowski, who worked as a manager in its self-driving car project, downloaded nearly 10 gigabytes of data — more than 14,000 files — and attached an external hard drive to his company computer. A big chunk of that data, Waymo says, was related to LiDAR technology — including \"confidential specifications for each version of every generation of Waymo's LiDAR circuit boards,\" the company says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its lawsuit, Waymo also says its former employees who left to join Levandowski's new venture brought proprietary information with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These secrets included confidential supplier lists, manufacturing details and statements of work with highly technical information,\" the company says in its complaint, \"all of which reflected the results of Waymo's months-long, resource-intensive research into suppliers for highly specialized LiDAR sensor components.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LiDAR is also at the heart of an email that seems to have been sent to Waymo by mistake by a vendor who copied the company on a message to Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dzPLynxaXuQjY3dkllZ2ZKb0k/view\">the complaint\u003c/a> filed in U.S. District Court:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Waymo was recently – and apparently inadvertently – copied on an email from one of its LiDAR component vendors. The email attached machine drawings of what purports to be an Uber LiDAR circuit board. This circuit board bears a striking resemblance to Waymo's own highly confidential and proprietary design and reflects Waymo trade secrets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo accuses Levandowski of attempting to conceal his activity in the Waymo design server, saying that he installed a new operating system on his company-issued laptop in an attempt to wipe the laptop clean — and that after that activity, he only used the laptop again for a few minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the rough timeline of events Waymo alleges in its court filing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Dec. 11, 2015: Using special software, Levandowski downloads more than 14,000 files. Seven days later, he reformats the laptop.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 14, 2016: Levandowski attends a high-level meeting at Uber's headquarters, according to Waymo.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan 15, 2016: Levandowski forms a new venture called 280 Systems, which will later becomes OttoMotto.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 27, 2016: Levandowski resigns from Waymo without notice, the company says.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Feb. 1, 2016: Otto Trucking is officially formed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>August 18, 2016: Uber \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/rethinking-transportation/\">announces deal to acquire Otto\u003c/a> — \"shortly after Mr. Levandowski received his final multi-million-dollar payment from Google,\" Waymo notes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dec. 13, 2016: Waymo receives an errant email from a LiDAR-component vendor, including an attached image of a circuit board that Waymo says strongly resembles its \"highly confidential current-generation LiDAR circuit board.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Feb. 9, 2016: Waymo receives documents from Nevada regulatory authorities that show Otto mentioned an \"[i]n-house custom built 64-laser\" LiDAR system that it said it had developed shortly before being acquired by Uber.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Otto and Uber marked two high-profile milestones. Last September, Uber \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/pittsburgh-self-driving-uber/\">enacted a pilot program\u003c/a> using self-driving cars in Pittsburgh. And in October, Otto performed what was called \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/10/ubers-self-driving-truck-makes-first-delivery-50000-beers/\">the world's first autonomous truck delivery\u003c/a>\" in Colorado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While at Google, Anthony Levandowski was widely regarded as a star, a gifted engineer with a knack for integrating his work into the real world. The Ghost Rider robotic motorcycle he led the development of now belongs to \u003ca href=\"http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1332301\">the Smithsonian\u003c/a>. He joined Google back in 2007 — and in 2013, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/11/25/auto-correct\">New Yorker profile\u003c/a> said of him, \"Levandowski is equal parts idealist and voracious capitalist. He wants to fix the world and make a fortune doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When that article was published, Levandowski worked at Google X, the company's experimental lab. It's unclear how the current dispute might affect his reputation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo's lawsuit is the latest in a series of dramatic shifts in the relationship between Alphabet and Uber.

Waymo \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/waymo/a-note-on-our-lawsuit-against-otto-and-uber-86f4f98902a1#.78q96tknf\" target=\"_blank\">is citing\u003c/a> forensic evidence — and an email that the company says inadvertently blew its former employees' cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The startup in question is Otto, which was only months old when Uber bought it for \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-tech-volvo-otto-idUSKCN10T1TR\">roughly $680 million\u003c/a> last summer. The deal resulted in Uber putting Otto co-founder Anthony Levandowski in charge of its self-driving-vehicle effort — which includes both trucking, a field Otto had focused on, and personal vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem, according to Waymo and Alphabet (Google's umbrella company) is that before he left, Levandowski \"took extraordinary efforts to raid Waymo's design server and then conceal his activities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/waymo/a-note-on-our-lawsuit-against-otto-and-uber-86f4f98902a1#.9s91snwmx\">says it views Levandowski's actions\u003c/a> as \"part of a concerted plan to steal Waymo's trade secrets and intellectual property.\" In its court filing, the company says the plan was meant to help Uber recover from being \"more than five years behind\" in the race to develop reliable autonomous vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Requests for comment on the case from Uber and Otto were unanswered as of Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Waymo says it invested millions of dollars and thousands of hours to develop its advanced and cost-effective LiDAR sensors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo says Levandowski, who worked as a manager in its self-driving car project, downloaded nearly 10 gigabytes of data — more than 14,000 files — and attached an external hard drive to his company computer. A big chunk of that data, Waymo says, was related to LiDAR technology — including \"confidential specifications for each version of every generation of Waymo's LiDAR circuit boards,\" the company says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its lawsuit, Waymo also says its former employees who left to join Levandowski's new venture brought proprietary information with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These secrets included confidential supplier lists, manufacturing details and statements of work with highly technical information,\" the company says in its complaint, \"all of which reflected the results of Waymo's months-long, resource-intensive research into suppliers for highly specialized LiDAR sensor components.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LiDAR is also at the heart of an email that seems to have been sent to Waymo by mistake by a vendor who copied the company on a message to Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dzPLynxaXuQjY3dkllZ2ZKb0k/view\">the complaint\u003c/a> filed in U.S. District Court:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Waymo was recently – and apparently inadvertently – copied on an email from one of its LiDAR component vendors. The email attached machine drawings of what purports to be an Uber LiDAR circuit board. This circuit board bears a striking resemblance to Waymo's own highly confidential and proprietary design and reflects Waymo trade secrets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo accuses Levandowski of attempting to conceal his activity in the Waymo design server, saying that he installed a new operating system on his company-issued laptop in an attempt to wipe the laptop clean — and that after that activity, he only used the laptop again for a few minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the rough timeline of events Waymo alleges in its court filing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Dec. 11, 2015: Using special software, Levandowski downloads more than 14,000 files. Seven days later, he reformats the laptop.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 14, 2016: Levandowski attends a high-level meeting at Uber's headquarters, according to Waymo.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan 15, 2016: Levandowski forms a new venture called 280 Systems, which will later becomes OttoMotto.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 27, 2016: Levandowski resigns from Waymo without notice, the company says.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Feb. 1, 2016: Otto Trucking is officially formed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>August 18, 2016: Uber \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/rethinking-transportation/\">announces deal to acquire Otto\u003c/a> — \"shortly after Mr. Levandowski received his final multi-million-dollar payment from Google,\" Waymo notes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dec. 13, 2016: Waymo receives an errant email from a LiDAR-component vendor, including an attached image of a circuit board that Waymo says strongly resembles its \"highly confidential current-generation LiDAR circuit board.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Feb. 9, 2016: Waymo receives documents from Nevada regulatory authorities that show Otto mentioned an \"[i]n-house custom built 64-laser\" LiDAR system that it said it had developed shortly before being acquired by Uber.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Otto and Uber marked two high-profile milestones. Last September, Uber \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/pittsburgh-self-driving-uber/\">enacted a pilot program\u003c/a> using self-driving cars in Pittsburgh. And in October, Otto performed what was called \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/10/ubers-self-driving-truck-makes-first-delivery-50000-beers/\">the world's first autonomous truck delivery\u003c/a>\" in Colorado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While at Google, Anthony Levandowski was widely regarded as a star, a gifted engineer with a knack for integrating his work into the real world. The Ghost Rider robotic motorcycle he led the development of now belongs to \u003ca href=\"http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1332301\">the Smithsonian\u003c/a>. He joined Google back in 2007 — and in 2013, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/11/25/auto-correct\">New Yorker profile\u003c/a> said of him, \"Levandowski is equal parts idealist and voracious capitalist. He wants to fix the world and make a fortune doing it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When that article was published, Levandowski worked at Google X, the company's experimental lab. It's unclear how the current dispute might affect his reputation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo's lawsuit is the latest in a series of dramatic shifts in the relationship between Alphabet and Uber. Back in 2013, Google Ventures \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2013/08/22/google-ventures-puts-258m-into-uber-its-largest-deal-ever/\">invested more than $250 million\u003c/a> in the car service.

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, struck a defiant tone in brief remarks before conservative activists at a political conference outside Washington, D.C. But she held back on the administration’s rescinding of Obama administration guidance to schools on transgender rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This issue was a very huge example of Obama administration overreach, one-size-fits-all approach to issues best solved at the personal and local level,” DeVos told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, after brief remarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos added that she and the Trump administration have “made clear it’s our job to protect students and teachers’ flexibility and protect and preserve personal freedoms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”t1E0NgyeFThnVliGS2vPYhykz8aORWdS”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/22/us/politics/devos-sessions-transgender-students-rights.html\">reported tensions \u003c/a>between DeVos and Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the joint decision made to rescind the Obama administration guidance that had required schools wanting to receive federal funding to allow transgender students to use bathrooms, locker rooms and participate on athletic teams corresponding with the gender with which they identified — rather than their gender at birth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos reportedly was uncomfortable with earlier draft language and wanted to stress protections for transgender students. That was reinforced with a DeVos statement put out separately from the joint letter with Sessions, in which DeVos stressed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a responsibility to protect every student in America and ensure that they have the freedom to learn and thrive in a safe and trusted environment. This is not merely a federal mandate, but a moral obligation no individual, school, district or state can abdicate. At my direction, the Department’s Office for Civil Rights remains committed to investigating all claims of discrimination, bullying and harassment against those who are most vulnerable in our schools. … I consider protecting all students, including LGBTQ students, not only a key priority for the Department, but for every school in America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”DYjsqi1BGSgYfjmvdDaaw89s8rEH0RHQ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/22/press-briefing-press-secretary-sean-spicer-2222017-14\">said Wednesday\u003c/a> that there was “no daylight” between the president, Sessions or DeVos, but that “there has been some discussion between the timing of the issuance and recommendations, or between the exact wording.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos squeaked through the confirmation process, and in those hearings, she disavowed conversion therapy, which her \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/betsy-devos-education-secretary-civil-rights-gay-transgender-students-231837\">family has invested in\u003c/a>. Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota asked about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have never believed in that,” she said. “I fully embrace equality, and I believe in the innate value of every single human being, and that all students, no matter their age, should be able to attend a school and feel safe and be free of discrimination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in her speech, DeVos struck an ideological tone about education. She took aim at the media and liberals, calling herself the “first person to tell Bernie Sanders to his face, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3oxH7ZdWsk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was meant to draw laughs from the conservative activists, but low-income schools, known as Title I schools, provide free and reduced lunches and breakfasts to low socioeconomic students. As of 2012, \u003ca href=\"https://nces.ed.gov/blogs/nces/post/free-or-reduced-price-lunch-a-proxy-for-poverty\">31 million children benefited\u003c/a> from the National School Lunch program. The National School Lunch Act was \u003ca href=\"https://www.fns.usda.gov/nslp/national-school-lunch-program-nslp\">signed by President Truman\u003c/a> in 1946.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The media has had its fun with me,” DeVos said, noting, however, “my job isn’t to win popularity contests” with the media or the “Washington education establishment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She criticized $7 billion in school grants given out by the Obama Education Department. She said they thought “money alone would solve the problem. They tested their model and failed miserably.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Ltn0DGYYH8DzubVrxzdWSXbqqYAbV0TB”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also spoke out against university administrators and professors “telling you what to think.” She said the “real threat is silencing people with whom you disagree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/02/after-violence-at-uc-berkeley-trump-suggests-ending-federal-funding/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drew President Trump’s tweeting ire\u003c/a> after protesters blocked Milo Yiannopoulos, the controversial former Breitbart editor, from speaking. But he’s the exact same speaker who CPAC disinvited after video surfaced of him seeming to defend pedophilia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos praised “good teachers” and said they should be paid accordingly, but she blasted “defenders of the status quo.” Teachers unions were vociferously against DeVos’ nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR’s Brin Winterbottom contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

This is not merely a federal mandate, but a moral obligation no individual, school, district or state can abdicate.

This represents a large departure from the last administration’s priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really difficult to even call them priorities at this point,” said \u003ca href=\"http://law.scu.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Clara Law School \u003c/a>professor Pratheepan Gulasekaram on \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2017/02/21/trump-administration-issues-new-rules-tightening-immigration-enforcement/?a=commentsATag\" target=\"_blank\">KQED’s Forum program.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sanctuary Cities\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson predicts that some state and local law enforcement officials will resist cooperation with immigration authorities, but said there are limits to their ability to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from detaining immigrants. He also believes that the Trump administration is likely to make good on the president's threats to punish sanctuary cities, in California and elsewhere, by withholding federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another change outlined in the memos is the removal of Privacy Act rights from people who are neither citizens nor lawful permanent residents. According to Gulasekaram, this would allow the Department of Homeland Security to publicize any crimes committed by immigrants. He believes Trump will use this information to turn public opinion against sanctuary cities and states like California, whose lawmakers have made public statements of support for the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Expedited Removal\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expedited removal was used under the Obama administration, but was limited to people caught within 100 miles of the border and within two weeks of their arrival in the country. The new DHS guidelines have dramatically expanded the criteria, however, allowing the tool to be used throughout the country, and for as long as two years after a noncitizen first crosses the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This expansion of expedited removal may lead to lawsuits filed against the Trump administration, according to Johnson of UC Davis. “It’s very much in tension with our ordinary conception of due process,” he said. “I’m sure there will be legal challenges.” Notably, expedited removal proceedings do not include a court appearance or access to a lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson also predicted that the administration will implement the new changes quickly. “I would think in the very near future, probably a matter of weeks if not months, we’re going to see some kind of regulations that put this expanded expedited removal into effect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DACA Recipients\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly’s memos do not outline a specific stance on immigrants protected from deportation by President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA. But Gulasekaram is concerned that DHS policy has been rewritten to provide a way around those protections. Specifically, he pointed to a lack of exemptions for enforcement, saying, “There’s nothing in here that guarantees that ICE agents can’t go after young people, people in school, et cetera.” For now at least, the memos do not specifically identify DACA recipients for deportation, though they indicate that further policy changes will be forthcoming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hiring Additional ICE Officers and Agents\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Johnson predicts that new regulations could be put in place in a matter of weeks, Gulasekaram says other directives will take longer to implement. The memo's call for hiring 5,000 new Customs and Border Protection agents and 10,000 new ICE agents, building a border wall and adding more detention facilities will require massive budget allocations. “The president has articulated how he wants to go about it, and now he’s going to put pressure on Congress members to fund it.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The bill would cover all residents of the state, even those who are undocumented. The bill does not include a timeline or specifics, but it does mention the intent to \"enact legislation that would establish a comprehensive universal single-payer health care coverage program.\" This would mean that the state government, not insurance companies, would pay for care. Such systems are also known as \"single payer,\" with Medicare being the best-known example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lara spoke at the rally, greeting the crowd of roughly 400, many of them nurses mobilized by their union, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/site/entry/california-nurses-association\" target=\"_blank\">California Nurses Association\u003c/a>. \"We’re going to finally put doctors, nurses, and clinicians actually in charge of the care, and not insurance companies,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California legislators have twice submitted bills for universal health care that went all the way to the desk of then-governor Arnold Schwarzennegger.
