Nice to see some old slang re-entering the culture. My mom uses the term "getting lit" for getting drunk, but she's in her 70s, and that's apparently what they called it 50 years ago.

The word Hippies comes from the old 1940s term Hipster. It meant the same relative thing back then as it does now.

I thought it was the other way around at that point, Hipsters then were the "real" thing, it was the people emulating them in the 60s that were called Hippies because they weren't authentic enough to be Hipsters.

Apple corporatized extremely quickly despite the image presented by SJ and the Mac team. They were rebelling against the corporate structure with the pirate flag, not the rest of the industry. And barely five years after the company's founding.

Lost a bit in the implosion of Theranos is the legislation they helped write and push through in Arizona. Basically, they made it so that there did not have to be a doctor's order to get lab testing, allowing direct to consumer laboratory results. Their big expansion plan there was to partner with a grocery chain and get Theranos clinics in store. They were already partnering with Walgreen's there to provide testing for their Minute Clinics. They are still going to keep their testing labs in Arizona open despite the sanctions but will not be going the grocery store route. There are different regulations in California so their Cali labs are all shutting down. One of the biggest lab companies in AZ was SonoraQuest (I'm guessing a division of the national lab company Quest) who actually opposed the legislation, reasoning that they did not want consumers interpreting their results without the guidance of a medical professional. Well it turns out lots of people do want to go get labs on their own, so now SonoraQuest is offering a direct to consumer option as well. Disruption! As someone who works in healthcare I find the direct to consumer model for things like labs troubling. There is actually a bit of an art and science to interpreting some results. Take thyroid hormone levels for example. The cut off for normal and abnormal is based on population sampling with the 95th and 5th percentile results marking the border between high and low levels. So there is a chance that your hormone levels are flagged as low but you just happen to fall into the 4th percentile normally. Recent severe illness can also make your levels fluctuate. You have to take all the patient's symptoms as well as labs together to get a clear picture of what is really going on. That's just thyroid testing, now imagine people being able to get their own Lyme titers, or genetic testing which is it's own ethical and legal dilemma. In the effort to always be disrupting and turning a profit some of these healthcare start ups are opening a Pandora's box of unintended consequences. tl;dr: There's a reason healthcare is heavily regulated.

It doesn't really matter if they can still sell direct to consumer. Getting banned from Medicare and Medicaid is a death sentence to a blood testing company. Just ask Health Diagnostic Laboratories.

Just ask Health Diagnostic Laboratories. CMS has only handed the sanction to Elizabeth Holmes herself so as long as she isn't at the company they can still take Medicare and Medicaid in AZ. They specifically shut down the California lab and revoked most of it's CLIA certifications, leaving the Arizona lab alone. The company is now appealing that decision and has a "plan of correction." But yeah, if you get reamed by CMS/OIG/joint commission, etc you're pretty much screwed.

No, the Medicare payment sanction includes Theranos Inc, and the Arizona lab would also be banned from performing any testing:quote:Although Holmes faces a ban from the lab business, the statement said Theranos plans to "continue to carry out its mission under the leadership of its founder and CEO, Elizabeth Holmes." The NYTimes has the actual sanction letter: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/07/08/business/document-Theranos-Sanctions-Letter.html

Interestingly the sanctions do not go into effect for 60 days so they are still processing samples. It appears they will also appeal the decision but I doubt it will go anywhere.

I believe the appeals process is basically just a "Is this punishment appropriate?" question and doesn't allow Theranos to submit a corrective plan. The time for that was back in February when CMS said they were going to drop the hammer.
