If Theranos hadn't falsified anything, would they have had a product? My recollection, having read _Bad Blood_, is that they would not. Good intentions to save the world, without any working (or even possible!) technology, are not inve

I hear what you're saying, but counterexamples (i.e. repeat scammers) abound. Maybe Taleb's works should be added to that blog post - leading on HN today - about the questionable value of lay business books.

I like this quote because it's such clear, unambiguous evidence that the people in charge (now, under Trump) are so stupid, so utterly out of touch even within their own area of responsibility. And will these stupid clueless people mak

I read the article - up to a point. The guy goes to such great lengths not to admit that a huge proportion of the physical parts in the phone are from China. E.g, he keeps saying "Western distributor" to avoid saying "China-m
