That's hard to determine and presumably why she wasn't prosecuted for it. It's certainly believable that people received false assurances about their health from Theranos that ultimately led to a preventable death.

It's a bit of a non-sequitur, but a charitable reading is that he's saying Frank Stephenson can do this with cars, and maybe Lucas Pope and Jon Blow can do it with games, but most indie devs aren't generational talents, so th

Open up your app. Hit 'Cancel ride', hit 'Unsanitary', wait for the replacement taxi. Really, it's the same problem Amazon had with delivering high value goods when people weren't in. If something goes wrong, a

With Volkswagen's "under consideration" plan for their - as yet unavailable - self-driving package, you don't have to pay them to use your own vehicle. You can drive it all you want. However, if you're feeling tired

None of this matters to ASA. All they care about is that the number of pounds you can swap for Bitcoin can go up or can go down, so Luno have to say that in their adverts. They'd be held to the same standard if they were flogging index

I have to disagree - the Patriots winning the Superbowl or Brazil winning the World Cup are not events that "gratify one's intellectual curiosity." A tussle between the Premier League and the leading football clubs in England

I suspect most football fans are indifferent to the concept of Uefa/Fifa - they just want them to be less corrupt. What really piqued my interest was your phrase "I think it is brilliant to introduce more competition into the mix&

I'm entirely against submissions along the lines of "Real Madrid win unprecedented 14th Champions League" but this proposal has some interesting facets that I think some HNers might find intellectually interesting. There&#x27

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding but isn't this the exact situation that the clubs are proposing?

Do we know this? He's not even got a Wikipedia page. My understanding is that photographers earn peanuts and I for one would be raging if some Instragammer was coining it in from copying the one piece of work that made me famous.

Jeff Sedlick appears to have created a photograph that is iconic over 30 years later, while the tattoo artist is just copying it. If the point of copyright law is to encourage creativity then don't we want Sedlick to win?

Capitalism unchecked tends towards monopolies and subsistence wage for those lucky enough to have a job. I agree this is a product of our human instincts, but the only thing stopping it - short of a revolution - are thoughtful laws designed

Sounds like it's a factor but not necessarily a deciding one. Also, the phrase used is "nonprofit educational purposes" so if he's got ads enabled he may be out of luck.

How does that work? Do you watch programmes, then send off a cheque to HBO if it meets your standards?

Can you explain why? I can understand why people want things for free, but thinking that you shouldn't contribute towards the production cost of the programme you enjoy seems strange to me.

These may be legitimate criticisms of the UK government's epidemiologists - I'm not in a position to judge - but I'm not sure it explains why we should be listening to Tomas Pueyo on the matter.
