Please deprogram our brogrammers. If they don't change you will be the problem, certainly not them, they can't help it..... They're morons.

The developer is Swedish and "[t]he approval comes from the German inspection and certification organization Tüv Süd, which has classified the app in the medicinal category of IIb. That means Natural Cycles officially offers a new, clinically tested alternative to birth control methods such as contraceptive pills, contraceptive implants and condoms."

The section of the article you quoted is at the very least misleading if not factually incorrect. TÜV does certify apps. TÜV check whether the app works and uses the data and calculations like it is supposed to. TÜV does not certify that how a rythm method calculator compares to other forms of contraception. As for being classified as medicinal category IIb. That is utterly meaningless, because within Europe all non-implantable or long term invasive medical devices used for contraception are to be classified as IIb. That category, by the way, is a risk category for medical devices and does not maek any statements about the contraception being effective either. Council directive 93/42/EEC, Annex IX posted:Rule 14

ShadowHawk posted:This sounds like the equivalent of how in the US placebo medicines adorn their boxes with fake official-looking disclaimers (such as a list of active ingredients) and are very careful to prominently display that they are "Regulated by the Food and Drug Administration" (because they're a food product). They're usually regulated as dietary supplements, not food. "Dietary Supplements" is the "we don't have to prove anything" category in us food and drug law. (note that in practice there are regs, but it gets more complicated than would be relevant here)

They being some supplement company or another I don't remember exactly who.

That case (man, I'm blanking on the company too) just threw violations into the limelight.

I would, but I'm not investing in Uber anyway, and I know I'm an outlier.

Even amoral investors might think that's a sign the place is dysfunctional in just a practical sense, though, and/or that its reputation will go into the toilet, and/or there will be a deluge of lawsuits, etc.

Historically, mistreating minorities in technical divisions has little impact on corporate reputation, sales, or recruiting. Would that it were otherwise.

I mean, if I'm reading this as an amoral investorial ubermensch who couldn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock about diversity, it still might put me off sticking my money in Uber. That stuff about the game of thrones style management culture is textbook failing company. It's what happens when the assholes have metastasized through the whole middle management layer because the higher ups are too clueless to excise them.
