shit thread

She inherited that business from her rich father, I bet.
>>65504369
She literally patented something a bunch of other people already had and sued the shit out of them.
I don't care about this topic.
>>65504429
nope. It's a brand new start-up and it's been successful for over a decade

women cant even make as much money as men online in an anonymous environment
Women can be good, just depends on the women and the job.
One of the departments in my company I always try to hire women because they do that particular job better than the guys do. Women used intelligently are excellent.
The problem is women are literally the worst with typical office jobs where they manage other women. Always ends up being a cat fight. Big mistake I've made in the past is hiring women for those types of jobs.
>>65504503
Same.
why would you even make such a boring thread?
Apparently she lied to investors and is now getting into lots of trouble. Nice job
>Holmes used money that her parents had saved for her education to establish Real-Time Cures in Palo Alto. Later, she changed the company's name to Theranos (an amalgam of "therapy" and "diagnosis"),[9] and dropped out a semester later.
>Theranos has claimed to have developed a blood-testing device named Edison that uses a few drops of blood obtained via a finger-stick rather than vials of blood obtained via traditional venipuncture,[10] utilizing microfluidics technology.[11] Its founders have raised over $400 million from investors, valuing the company at $9 billion, without their testing device ever being subject to peer-reviewed study.

The Internet is obviously sexist, since it was invented by cis white males to supress women.
>>65504369
>>65504429
Lol no, she basically conned a bunch of dumb investors with false data and then built a ponzi scheme with that initial money.
Theranos is under investigation and is about to collapse.

>with false data
you mean by being a women? how could a pretty girl ever lie .. are you a sexist opressing pig?
company seems overvalued for what it is
>>65504369
feminists do
they see women as retards and thus have an orgasm every time a woman achieves something.
They're holding women back.
>>65504936
Don't care what gender you are.
Courts don't mess around with money.
Dude shes all hype

Isn't her business basically fucked considering most of the blood tests they use aren't even their own?
lol OP failed so bad
>>65504369
The achievements of an individual aren't the achievements of the many. Just because a woman is doing great at business doesn't mean here entire gender is great at it. The same goes for whites, asians, niggers. You have to use statistics to make stamens like the ones you are trying to refute and for statements based on statistics to be not true you don't need one example, you need an average to prove your point. This isn't a case of mathematical study where if you find a counter example then you can prove an argument to be incorrect.
Even if all the criticisms are true (not saying that they are), she's still going to be a billionaire or at least extremely rich by the end of this
>>65504369
her parents are both congressmen or major political players. cant remember which.
also, yeah the product is shit.
>>65505425
>>65505453
> the Wall Street Journal suggested that its blood-testing devices were flawed and had problems with accuracy
>>65504428
Those comments about hair length got me in stitches
>>65504369
It bothers the absolute fuck out of me that she always wears a turtleneck like she is Steve jobs. So pretentious
>>65506336
But Steve Jobs wasn't the inspiration for the turtleneck. Elizabeth Holmes says the model was Sharon Stone

>One of the departments in my company I always try to hire women because they do that particular job better than the guys do. Women used intelligently are excellent.
What department? What type of company do you work for? Just curious.
>>65506336
>she always wears a turtleneck like she is Steve jobs
all she's done is imitating the trappings of the successful
somehow by acting like she owned a successful business with a successful product that had successfully passed the test of peer-review, she was given a gorillion dollars by dumb investors.
I guess it's true what they say; Dress for the job you want, not the one you have.
>>65504369
/pol/ doesn't make sweeping generalizations about any group of people.
but like all statistics, the mean counts!

All X is Y is *almost always* a fallacy.

Women are very hard working people until they get pregnant and take a year off for maternity while co-workers continue to sweat it out.
Then they go all to shit.
>>65504744
>company valued at 9 billion
>$400m capital
>product that doesnt exist that the company doesnt produce is worth 8.6 billion
those idiots knew what they were getting into. but that holmes bitch wont budge on floating the company. that's why so many rumours of a float. investors want out. ship is sinking. sellsellsell.
>it'll still work
>come on come on
>just becomes another blood testing company
>but they only have the contracts because they're cheap
>business model is unsustainable
>she didnt invent shit
perhaps she will outjew the jews by crashing the company with no survivors?
