81 tests had to be redone over a 6 months period, and it was at Theranos initiative after they found issues themselves in one of their labs (that does less than 10% of their tests). That's it. Nobody "lost their health or dignity" so you can stop crying wolf even if it feels comfortable to do it while there's a whole pack around you doing the same.
Everything else in this story is speculation, misinformation or small quotes from audit documents taken out of context.
I hope one day the people behind this masterful smearing campaign to destroy a truly disruptive company are identified and shamed.
This reeks of the same manipulative schemes used in the torts reform operation, with "woman suing McDonalds for a hot coffee" being used to mislead and outrage honest people and get them to do the puppet master's dirty work (in that instance, Karl Rove). If you don't know the outcome of that operation, wait until your kid get permanent brain damage caused by tainted cold medication, and you end up with a $25,000 check to pay for a lifetime of specialized care because of quotas the jury wasn't aware of when they awarded you ten millions.
That's easy to buy in the "Theranos is crooks" narrative and join the collective witch hunt. Just like it was easy to join the commie hunt in the 40s and 50s. Feels good to be self-righteous.
Workers on Apple's production line commit suicide. Chinese reporters went to jail after Yahoo shared their account info with the Chinese government. People were raped in Uber cars. Teens committed suicide because Facebook is too busy making a commodity of people's private life to deal with harassment on its website. But hey, that Holmes bitch said she could diagnose cancer from a drop of blood and cheated on tests when it failed to happen (according to the WSJ, based on their interviews of people who worked at Theranos for 3 weeks 5 years ago) and 81 people had to redo their blood tests after a careless lab manager skimped on QA, so clearly if we can only afford one pitch fork mob at this point we'd better target Theranos and their evil CEO.
To anyone who jumped on that bandwagon, congratulations for being one of the thousands of paper cut that will collectively do the bidding of Theranos competitors.
What's truly sad is that it took that disgusting witch hunt to make me realize that feminazis are maybe not totally wrong after all. This fucking bullshit wouldn't have made a blip if the CEO didn't have a vagina.
Yeah unless they play in large venues, where the scalpers and concession owners are the ones making money since a shitload of seats are reserved for season pass or VIP box customers. Or in small venues, where the landlord/owner is the one making money with booze and food sales. And don't forget the people that inject themselves between the band and the venue, like those event app startups who take a cut for printing tickets and posting facebooks.
What's left? Merch. And I'm surprised there's not yet a startup that tried to middle-man their way in that slice of the pie (besides square and other payment processors).
But what about all those incidents of Japanese schoolgirls being groped (or even worse) by strangers while nobody else in the wagon or bus says a thing? Hundreds of those cases are documented on pornhub.
It's interesting to see that the "let's cull the herd" proponents always want to impose their rational solution on other people, not on themselves. It's like seeing union workers voting for a contract with less benefits that only apply to new people, not to existing union members.
You already replied the same thing in more or less the same words in another thread. Do you by any chance store your answers in the clipboard and browse threads trying to reuse them? I'm all for recycling but this reeks of laziness.
Ah, so if only there were no latte-sipping skinny greeners with macbooks, there would be no malaria?
That is for the most part correct. Greeners, through direct campaigns or via restrictions bundled with donations to poor countries, have prevented people from using pesticides to fight malaria because of "possible long term side effects". Meanwhile the short term direct effect is a million real human beings dying of malaria every year. But hey, those are simply collateral damage, right? Let the poor die until someone finally Kickstart or Indiegogo a solution for malaria that has no side effect and that can be deployed worldwide in a cost-effective manner.
Have you ever worked in a large organization where higher ups make decisions that have a terrible impact on your productivity or work conditions, but there's nothing you can do because they're insulated from the real effects of their policies? Like cancelling "work from home Fridays" for the sake of teamwork, or removing microwaves from the break room to force people to get out of the office for lunch so they can "get out and reboot their heads"? When greeners fight against imperfect solutions without having a realistic alternative that works right now, they're doing just that. Play with other people's life and remain insulated from the real consequences.
Typical. Science people are heroes when they support their views, and shills when they don't.
At this point one has to wonder, it does appear that those SJW wimps pick sides based on what the conservatives support/oppose, and the whole scientific thing is total bullshit.
Wouldn't it be better for the society to agree on some kind of international legal and financial framework that would fund public research in GMOs?
It would be awesome. Throw in cancer research and fighting AIDS. Now that we all know what's on the wishlist, do you have a plan to make this happen, given the huge success rate of international cooperation?
the key issue here is not your freedom of choosing GMO or not, it's the millions of people who are starving.
it's the same bullshit wih the malaria. Greeners sit in front of their Macbook, sipping their skinny latte, enjoying their self-righteous campaigns and brochures and tweets, while poor people thousands of miles away die of malaria and hunger.
Azure offers to match AWS prices to clients with an ELA, but you'll have to provide a link to prove that AWS does the same because I've seen no situation where it's cheaper to use Azure. That's like saying that Walmart will match Pier 1 prices.
what are you talking about? the free tier on AWS means that for 1 year you get some services for free, it doesn't give a discount beyond that. And what the fuck is an Azure VPS instance?
It's obvious that you're not an Azure or AWS customer and that you don't even know what cloud computing is, so stop trying to peddle your guesses as facts and go play with your linode.
FFS, did you just the compare the revenue of ONE fucking guy to company that's 40 yrs old and has 100,000+ employees?
Warren Buffet makes 1.5 million per hour. That's four times more than Twitter, and he's just one guy. He didn't inherit that money, he earned every penny.
Strangely, Warren Buffet doesn't make smug comments about the need for highly profitable companies like Microsoft to "die quietly".
Disk vendors compete. If one raises prices, it loses market share. If they all raise prices, they may be prosecuted for price fixing, and will also encourage other companies to enter (or re-enter) the storage market.
This is bullshit. There's TWO vendors: Seagate and WD. Nobobody can enter that market, they own it.
SSD is a different story because the technology is still evolving, but it's a tiny market. About 15% of new laptops sold have SSD, and in server/SAN it's even less.
Azure is a lot more expensive than AWS, and they tend to increase price and decrease services. Meanwhile, AWS is on a mission to constantly lower prices.
The logical outcome would be for AWS to see their market share grow, but the opposite is happening. Why? I think it's because they don't give a shit about enterprise customers. Even if you spend $55,000 per month on AWS you'll never get incentives or personalized service from AWS. On the other hand, enterprise customers get VIP treatment from Microsoft, wth steep discounts and effective, even proactive support.
A while ago maybe it mattered to get rock bottom price for cloud computing. Now people want more than the Walmart experience when they expand their infrastructure in the cloud, and that's why Azure is growing faster than AWS.
I still use AWS for my own projects, but I'm spending tiny amounts of money compared to the two clients I've recently helped move from AWS to Azure. And their main reason to switch was that they want to rely more and more on the cloud, and AWS couldn't be bothered to answer emails while Microsft sent PEOPLE to meet and wow them and make it enticing to consider Azure.

If you have a few minutes to spare, watch this Alex Jones rant at he beginning of Doug Stanhope's show...

Rent-a-bing, that's how.

Tinfoil hat people are the nerd branch of the SJW subculture.
Did you even read thhe summary? Hint: look at the last sentence.
True. Still it's quite a depressing pie chart...

That book and toothbrushes online store invented cloud computing, but they're not making money with it.
No, what you don't get is the big picture
No. Retail price for VM is consistently 25-40% higher on Azure.
Ex: a 1.5GB RAM instance is $35 on Azure, while an instance with 2GB is $20 on AWS. Both run Linux.
FFS, did you just the compare the revenue of ONE fucking guy to company that's 40 yrs old and has 100,000+ employees?

They make 20 billions in profit per year. This means that in a single hour they make more money than you will do over you entire life.
So maybe you should take the smugness a few notches down.
