PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Neutral . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former engineer Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ryan Lewis is Negative . Ryan Lewis   the famed producer known for  his  talents alongside breakout musician and independent hip-hop artist  Macklemore  has lived a life in the limelight. From winning a Grammy for Best Rap Album of 2014  to being involved in handfuls of tangential creative endeavors and collaborative projects   Lewis  has seemingly lived two lives:  his  own  and the perception created as a resultâacross news outlets  industry blogs  and social media channels  each telling  his  story from their own angle and perspective.
 Lewis   who has a track record of applying technology and an understanding of the role it can play in creating public conversations  saw this as an opportunity to answer that tough question: âWhatâs at the heart of what everyone is saying about a topic or a person online?â
And  he âs decided to leverage blockchain technology to do it  with a handful of early investors already on board and an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) planned for this year.
âAs soon as this idea started to marinate  I began to form a team to move the vision forward â said  Lewis   talking about  his  deliberate shift from time spent on music to balance time in the tech scene. âIâve always had an interest in tech  just by the nature of the projects Iâve been involved in over the past decade. And one of the biggest lessons Iâve learned as a music producer is that a great producer knows what theyâre good at and what theyâre not good at. As I began to realize there could be a better way to more accurately and objectively organize stories on the Internet  I knew I needed a team.â
The first person  Lewis  shared his idea with was longtime collaborator and close friend  Macklemore  who immediately saw the value and came on board as the first investor and company advisor.  Ryan  then worked closely with Josh Karp and Scott Lewis  early creative partners  to continue articulating the vision. After achieving initial milestones   Ryan  connected with current tech partner  RJ Smith  a 20-year technology veteran with a unique background pioneering transformational initiatives inside the US government.
âThese were problems I was already working on â said Smith. âTo meet another person with a ton of talent and a different set of skills  but with a shared passion  was invaluable. The challenges in a new start are humbling  and it was exciting to join forces with  Ryan  and other team members to execute this huge vision together.â
