I don't think that the machine IP has much (any) value, more just curious what happened to them from an "oddity" viewpoint e.g. did they get thrown in a dumpster or is there some warehouse out there, packed with all the stuff they cleared out of the old Theranos HQ

That is what I am thinking.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what happened to all of the Theranos hardware / technology after the company was shut down? e.g. the edison testing machines

I have spent way more time today following this story than I should have. Great courthouse reporting by Scott IMHO.

Has anyone tried doing this with a Varjo headset? https://varjo.com

I would love to try this, they have some of the highest resolutions that I've seen but a little $$$

What's the company? (if you don't mind sharing)

I have been working with ruby for 10 years, kind of / sort of thinking of jumping ship to a new company / job soon.

Is this really true? Any ex-Apple employees here, what is your experience?

I like it, but the loops are a little short.

I did a little searching & found this Irish pub ambient track which I'm enjoying right now, reminds me being in pubs back home :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYMw-ESqCUE

Baraka - both format and content was one of the first movies that really made me "think" & realize how many different experiences of being human can exist.

I know this is off topic, but one of the fist / only books that ever really changed my view on the world around me was "Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness" - I have never seen things quiet the same way after reading this.

Context maybe? http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/06/17/us/in-turnabout-disney-...

What is your email address? (I don't see it in your profile)

What is your side business?

Great news, I remember you guys from startup school last year, sounded like an interesting product & market at the time. Congratulations!

opps - looks like my $5 a day, 4G all you can eat plan is grandfathered in.

How much data are you consuming? $100 a week!!

If you are in a Virgin Mobile (Sprint) 4G area with coverage - then buy one of their hotspots (used on ebay to save $$$), $5 a day buys you all the data you can eat & it stays fast. You can connect more than 2 devices. Save $86 a week.

Alternativly, get on Verizons pre-paid plan: $45 a month for unlimited voice & text, subscribe to auto-pay & you get 1GB a month for free. You can buy an additional 3GB for $20 - you have 90 days to use up the data, the use your iphone as a hotspot.

It's back for me - bay area.

Say where you are located.

It is down for me, SF Bay Area (east bay).

ugh...this is the reason I have not eaten poultry for the last 10 years, except when I am back in Ireland where I can buy organic, free-range chicken from a farmer....it might cost $27 a pop, but as my grandma says....it tastes & has the texture of what chicken used to be like.

I used to love bacon / pork, but cannot eat that stuff anymore after reading about how toxins are formed / retained in the meat.

The only beef I eat is grass-fed pasture raised - no hormones or antibiotics.

My opinion is that you pay for your health one way or the other, either in preventing illness or after you become ill, there is no escaping the high cost of staying healthy in western, urban centers.

What resort did you go to? Mind if I ask what the approx. costs where?

This is probably a silly question - but can regular people buy Twitter stock as soon as trading begins?

I am thinking of buying a very small number of shares & "gifting" them to my sister - a super user of their service..more for novelty than as part of any serious investment strategy.

THIS - So true, I am a Ruby developer and could probably earn an extra 20k if I changed jobs tomorrow, however I will not sit through an interview being asked stupid questions like "What is MVC", "solve this big O problem" or implement some algorithm that I will only ever need to use during interviews & can then forget about...that type of interview is very telling of the companies work environment & the type of people you will have me working with.

I will send you code samples or show you my contributions to open source projects so that you know I can code, happy to discuss these until you are happy.

What is far more important is to find out about me, do you like me, can you work with me & tell me honestly about your dam culture - do you expect everyone to be at there desk at precisely at 8am, work a minimum of 80 hours per week? How is productivity measured? Do you expect me to attend some "team building" weekend nonsense when I could be spending time with my wife instead.

Do you have a wife / kids?

When your with the right women & have some kids, I find it is difficult not to want to get out of work to spend more time with them.

I cannot figure out why more startups are not based in Walnut Creek - lots of office space, a great downtown & there are two BART stations within 5 mins + the contra costa transit center.

I cannot stand open plan offices, to many visual & noise distractions....even just people walking around distracts me (at they coming over to talk with me? I hope not!) Call me crazy, but I much prefer having a small / private office with the door open 70-90% of the time....it is not like I am going to be less accountable (git log anyone)

What part of the country do you live in? I bet it is not in the SF bay area ;-)

I enjoy reading about the progress Tesla is making, but I will not consider buying any electric car until the price is < $30k and I can at least drive from the bay area to Tahoe and back for a ski weekend on a single charge.
