@Matthew Alkman You're blinded by your irrational hate. Anyone with open eyes can tell that MySpace was killed by corporate idiocy and their demand that everything fit in their little black box. It had nothing to do with Jews.

@Admiral_Jezza The problem with people that make those kinds of jokes are people like Hitler that take it too seriously. Spreading anti-Semitic hate is not a joking matter, and given the propensity of evil psychos to act on that hate, his mama ought to wash his mouth out with soap.

@Admiral_Jezza They're just jokes? Are you sure about that? They're just jokes is the typical response before one of those psychos start shooting at people. Personally, I make it a point to let people know that I told a joke for the most part because, my jokes tend to be stupid and people don't get them. But to use words that can incite others to mass homicide? No! Those are not jokes! They should always be taken seriously.

@Admiral_Jezza Making a joke =/= incitement. Saying how "jews control everything" to piss people off =/= telling people to kill jews. It should be obvious that references to "jews controlling everything" has been an often used meme if you've been on the internet enough to know about this. It's always been a lie. Take your automobile for instance. Unless you are a Jew, Jews are not controlling it. If people don't understand that jokes are jokes without having to explain it to them, well you either need better jokes, people with better senses of humor, or both. I'm pretty sure it's better jokes, but it may be both.

"If Theranos was to keep going, would they have made it?" The answer to that question is simply no. It is not possible to lie your way to success. As the story states, Elizabeth Holms was unwilling to listen to the short comings of the technology and allow the technicians to resolve those failings with real technology. She in essence, lied so much that she began to believe her own lie. If she had done the hard work, rather than pull money together with lie after lie, Theranos may have eventually succeeded in the goal. But to develop technology, you not only have to have the idea, you have to be willing to work out all the bugs and problems until the idea, becomes reality. Elizabeth Holms was unwilling to work out all the bugs and problems. Therefore, Theranos could never have succeeded if they had kept going.
