I'd absolutely like to hear more about your OIJ. I've been using padmapper forever, and I'm excited for you!

Why would you have expected it to? Calorically, the difference between Coke Zero and water is zero.

Sounds like /r/hailcorporate is leaking!

(but yes, totally agreed)

I only randomly picked a CFR to look up. This is totally a big deal! It just isn't the definitive 'none of these tests work' that many people have been expecting.

This is a little sensationalist - it's a list of deficiencies in their labs, not in their tests. More akin to an OSHA violation letter than a cease and desist letter.

Here is an example of the regs that they are violating. It's things like lack of lab personnel certification. https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2011-title42-vol5/pdf/CFR-...

This is definitely not a good thing for Theranos, but it isn't them being called out for bogus biotech. (Not that that would surprise me immensely if it happened.)

To be fair, Larry Page apparently declined several times to be interviewed for this article.

Having grown up on that keyboard, I can say that I sincerely hope so. Adieu!

Absolutely agree. I can't imagine that someone built this without considering how illegal (immoral?) it is.

Your assumption is almost certainly correct - it almost certainly has to do with negotiated license agreements for content.

I'm fairly certain this will get a cease & desist letter before content providers go after Netflix - although their smartflix.io 's whois information points towards a UK registration, so it might have to wait till someone at Netflix UK Legal wakes up.

>I don't think that and don't appreciate the framing you're trying to impose on me. Could you perhaps word comments like this more carefully?

This is a fantastic, measured answer - I'm always pleased to see reasonable responses to unreasonable comments.

We hear a lot about the limited # of H1B visas available, about how it functions as a lottery, etc... What are common issues with the H1B application process that don't receive as much public attention?

Boss to PR Intern > Flood the aggregators! I said FLOOD them!

Hmm - that's such a tightly controlled market, with such limited ability to disrupt the core business model (tickets + merchandising + licensing rights = cash), that I wouldn't really think of it as a bubble. What are your thoughts?

Nobody was fired, as far as I know, but the editor certainly resigned (http://nypost.com/2015/07/30/rolling-stone-editor-quits-same...).

Interesting that it's tied in with McKinsey & Co.

Without having dug into it much, I quite like it. There are definitely a lot of resources out there to learn, and - regardless of how true it is - feeling like a resource is the _right_ one for you probably helps.

This is one heck of a rebuttal.

This is awesome. I'm really excited to see what groups are announced - this is going to gather some great minds!

That's what my understanding is, although there's a lot more informed analysis in this thread now.

"The data that DraftKings acknowledged was released by its employee, Ethan Haskell, showed what particular players were most used in all lineups submitted to the site’s Millionaire Maker contests. Usually, that data is not released until the lineups for all games are finalized. Getting it early, however, is of great advantage to make tactical decisions, especially when your opponents do not have the information at all. A spokeswoman for DraftKings said Haskell simply made a mistake and that the company was certain that he did not use the information improperly. She declined to go into specifics about the safeguards or the company’s auditing policies."

I'm guessing that Haskell assumed that if 60% of people on DraftKings were going to pick [Fantasy Player X], then about 60% of people on FanDuel would pick [Fantasy Player X], and knowing so ahead of time informs the odds on each bet?

This reminds me of the Capital One/Chipotle incident (http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-01-23/capital-one...).

I really appreciate the amount of time - and honesty - that went into this post. The author really sounds like they have their head firmly on their shoulders. Thanks, Samson!

Might just be me, but I'm stuck in a Catch-22 between being asked to read the ToS before signing up, and being asked to sign up before reading the ToS.

They do! For the .com links, concatenate: "amzn.com/",[10 character string in URL, aka ASIN]

For the .co.uk links, concatenate: "amazon.co.uk/dp/",[10 character string in URL, aka ASIN]

So, your first link would be "amzn.com/075664979X"
