You seem to say this as if people's livelihoods aren't something they'd feel strongly about. I've noticed a certain rhetoric lately wherein Theranos is """just headlines""" but I mean, imagine for a second if YOU were in that situation. It's such a high visibility thing too, I myself am waiting with bated breath for many reasons. Not the least of which being I'd like to hire some of their talent when it explodes, but I think even with that bias, I think my point stands that the situation is in fact much more grave for those involved than the headlines and HN fawning might convey to someone not familiar.

I never said I knew everything about theranos, and anyways I don't care to, but I've been in a situation where my corp was really fucking up and I started to worry about my hirability being affected just by working there. I was only a contractor, but still.
