That is so crazy to me. Why do they like the gull? I remember when we moved to California I thought ice plant was really cool looking and loved it, until someone told me it was a much hated invasive …

Huh, I've never heard of that. At every ER I've ever worked at we just called a cab from the nurses station. We also hand out bus tickets to low income patients.

The guy who was talking about his "spouse firewall" in the facebook thread was pretty great. Basically he just doesn't have facebook and his spouse is the filter, she tells him all the…

I love how they always make the Death Star with 1 fatal flaw! There's always some small way to instantly blow it up. It wouldn't be the Death Star without this key component. The reboot ph…

"One wonders if the problem is the parents." Agreed- no reason the starving artist underemployed son couldn't come home and go back to school for something he could actually get a job …

Haha... I loved his bold open. It was actually refreshing to see such a level of frank self-awareness of grandiosity.

Doctorbase recent got acquired by a SoCal EHR company called Kareo this spring, not sure for how much.

It's just from what I see at work, we're consultants who do strategic case management for high acuity cases- patients who spend more than $3million per quarter (or whatever levels that speci…

He has a pretty hot girlfriend. I follow her on Instagram and based on her Instagram posts it looks like she and Jack jet set around the world traveling pretty constantly. Lots of art galleries, fas…

They've done studies about this, basically your happiness is calibrated against whether or not you are better or worse off status wise compared to your immediate peer group.

The couple I remember reading that have been deleted were about how the CEO and the COO park their Ferraris/crazy racecar sports car in 2 designated spaces directly in the front entryway (like li…

I think they wanted a bunch of Washington power players because their real money grab was pushing regulation changes so that patients could go and do their blood tests themselves, without a doctor…

I was just thinking that someone needs to write a novelization of this Theranos nonsense & turn it into a screenplay and voilà:- Silicon Valley's "Wolf of Wall Street" or the next &…

Glassdoor seems like it has the same business model as yelp- "Buy our advertising and we will make your good rankings rank higher and your worse reviews be filtered or lower." Maybe not outr…

Glassdoor actually removed a few of the more scathing negative reviews about working there. I think Theranos advertised on Glassdoor so they removed some of the even worse reviews... there used to be…

Because they used it as a way to cultivate attention to their company. She was a Glamour "Woman of the Year" http://fortune.com/2015/10/29/theranos-founder-c…

It's because Theranos with it's pretty blonde Stanford dropout founder was an absolute media darling for 7 months to a year, could do no wrong, had heaps of fawning puff piece press. Now th…

Totally agree, they are extremely shady. Especially when they started actively cultivating press this past spring, and a few months ago and suddenly they're shocked and pissed off that not all t…

He seems like such a whiner. In the article he talks about how his dad always told him he had "high potential, low achievement." This whole blog post comes off as sour grapes. Also, how e…

His whole blog reads as: Ineffective Hipster CEO Ousted, Has Sour Grapes

So he has someone to book all his needless frivilous travel...

and prop 13 keeps it that way. :(

This is an awesome quote and I am going to steal it from you and use it on nextdoor.com when I argue with NIMBYS. Thanks!

Sometimes shaming is good. The drought shaming in California actually helped the biggest wasters cut down on their water use more than any fines would (they are too rich to be disuaded by fines).

> It seems most likely to me that this investment was based on her personality and/or personal connection isn't that how most founders get their initial $$? At least the ones I know. On…

Heh... Akin to how the founder of the mormon church came up with the idea while getting high and sticking his face into a magic hat. Get loaded, stick your face in a hat, document your delusional vi…

They're incredibly shady. $750k in lobbying helps https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/clientsum.php?id=D00005517... Their VC firm was the CIA: http://www.wsj.com&#x…

All because she put on Steve Jobs drag, affected a surfer dude accent and bleached her hair blonde? Here she is prior to her tech wunderkind makeover: https://tribwxin.files.wordpress.com&…
