I was curious about this so I dug up an early comment thread about Theranos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6349349 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6349349 There is some optimism about the Theranos mission, and a lot of skepticism about their implementation. Most of the comments are centred around the composition of the board and (correctly) surmise that the lack of medical expertise is a huge red flag.
