Does a speedometer record how fast you were going 1 minute before the crash.

To be fair to Google & Uber, this rule is well-known amongst Android developers. You can only use names like "X for Brand", while "BrandX" "Brand X" "X Brand" can result in take-downs.

The author can simply rename the app to "Cheats for Uber" and the app should pass.

The devil is always in the details.

Also, wouldn't it make more sense to poach from Valve or Epic?

I really wish Phabricator Tasks could have custom statuses and not just "Open/Close". This would make the Workboard feature so much more useful.

Even if they did shut down, couldn't they just rebootstrap as another LLC add do it the "right" way this time?

This is where the Asian culture 'gets it right'. Instead of putting money in a regular envelope, they color it red. Now it's a fancy hong bao, or red envelope.

Perhaps this could be automated by finding the same content in two versions of the dom and then doing a diff on the structure, updating the rules?

>I think a better strategy is (1) your own domain and/or (2) a site on github with actual code to validate* your talents.

That's because their target audience is not restricted to the tech savvy. Not everyone knows how to host and maintain their own domain. Not everyone uses github or know what git is.

This was basically why LinkedIn came into fruition in the first place.
