Theranos Voids Two Years of Edison Blood-Test Results
I still believe in the idea of Theranos and while I think it is great the Ev Williams was able to secure funding 2 more times to keep rebuilding different versions of blogger[0],  I want to live in a world where we also take huge gambles on hard problems. If we adhere to VC math (we should as this hypothetical is for VC investing) one of these payouts will be well worth it, e.g. Tesla&#x2F;SpaceX. So yeah, I&#x27;d write down uBeam &amp; Theranos, but you can fuck off if you want the world to stop investing in big ideas.<p>[0]twitter.com, medium.com<p>edit: Also, we can assume it isn&#x27;t physically impossible to use smaller amounts of blood to perform tests. So yeah, it was super obvious from the beginning some immigrant who happened to be in the right place at the right time and make some money at the height of the DOTCOM era working in software couldn&#x27;t build a sustainable rocket program that rivals that of 1st world nations. So it wasn&#x27;t obvious, and the next big innovation won&#x27;t be obvious, and if you think it is you are either building it or just straight up wrong.
