Reading that big article about Theranos, the two things that did surprise me (that I didn't know about the story earlier) were:

1. Holy poo poo the lead scientist killed himself.
2. Errol Morris... no :(

I guess there's an easy joke to make about how Errol Morris grilled literal murderers, pathological liars, and war criminals; and thus he's the perfect man to interview a sociopath like Holmes.

I just came in from the south (and holy poo poo this money) and the combo of upturned nose at non-west-coast developers combined with stunning incompetence is truly a sight to behold. gently caress the bay forever, can't wait to retire before 50 after squirreling away these earnings and get the gently caress out of here.
You could do the same as a roughneck in an oil platform or field with fewer hours and the ability to beat the poo poo out of poo poo talkers but that's like work

Agreed, gently caress work.

Today I found out that it's apparently normal (maybe even traditional?) for bay area CEOs to send out a voting slate to the company email and subtly suggest you follow it.

Yeah, I'm sure there are no downsides to a career based on brutal & dangerous physical labor.

I personally support Matthis in shifting the military from spending money on engineering boondoggles, to biotech boondoggles.
