The “cult” tag is a bit much. Actual cults steal your assets, cut you off from your family, control your sex life, etc. wait... holy poo poo you’re right.

Pyromaniac Ida posted:Bad blood question. How did the author get around all those NDAs? I mean even with changing the names. A lot of people are presented like "Joined from X school in 2010 and worked on" etc so finding out their names should be easy. the WSJ articles at the time would have kept his sources confidential I think the books mentions this but the book being published in 2018 years after the scandal and SEC investigations the NDAs would have been toothless

Yeah, the pads look really silly. It's like they don't belong there originally but were added in as an extensions like the early GPS systems. Except even those looked super pragmatic and professional compared to this flimsy toy poo poo that probably breaks off if you lose your balance leaning over the dashboard. like come on, how are you loving up the dumb sleek futuristic school of design by making it look cheap, that's the complete opposite of what it's supposed to convey

In related news lol https://www.wsj.com/articles/blood-testing-firm-theranos-to-dissolve-1536115130 quote:Theranos Inc., the blood-testing company accused of perpetrating Silicon Valley’s biggest fraud, will soon cease to exist. quote:The big-name investors who poured money into Theranos will get nothing. All told, investors in Theranos have lost nearly $1 billion.

It's no use asking questions about that semi because it will never exist. there is no way the range on that thing will be more than 10 miles before combusting

aren't smart phones already a ridiculously unsustainable technology w/r/t rare earth metals and production especially as far as "current material conditions" goes (smart phones being like little blossoms on a bush that's obviously dying)? i can't imagine leaning hard into the SMART CAR are the integrated devices inside of it going to depreciate as fast as all of our current high sheen glossy crap? tablets/phones/etc? i wonder how the oldest first gen tesla's are holding up at this point, is there an after market? what's THAT like? do they just cut off support at some point? do these things go into landfills after 5 years? edit: just imagined someone cracking their center console display in their tesla and just living with it because its out of warranty lmao

A lot of people are presented like "Joined from X school in 2010 and worked on" etc so finding out their names should be easy. a reporter doesn't have to care if his subject is giving him NDA-covered information. his source can get sued if he finds out, but you can't sue the reporter for getting the info (unless you pay him for it, perhaps). who has the rights to enforce NDAs depends on what happens to Theranos's assets. I haven't seen if they're filing a Chapter 7 liquidation, a private liquidation, a Chapter 11 reorganization, or what. if someone buys the assets, they may acquire the right to enforce the NDAs. if nobody buys Theranos's rights under the NDAs, then the contract is no longer valid because it's with an entity that no longer exists.

When industry report the total "resources" available, that's within the current economic context, including price. But that doesn't account for potentially economically viable resources at future price points, let alone the resource cycle where higher prices improve technology and then crash the price by flooding the market (see fracking). So the material component costs of rare earths could rise, potentially even substantially, but that's a small part of the consumer price of electronics.
