At the very same time it is trivial to update the drones of today to use a secure mutual authentication mechanism which the "drone defender" cannot break into. So, even if there is a spectrum DoS (which might be illegal to do for anyone apart from law enforcement) its not that the defender will take over the drone.

This is a cat n mouse game where the drone creator always has an advantage.

Is it worthwhile printing Books in China and importing to USA?

I know that the import duty of books in US is 0% but just wanted to check if anyone has had any experience printing technical books (300 pages, 8.5x11) in China and then sell them using Amazon fulfillment? would the saving be substantial?

Something seems awfully wrong with HNs rating system - somehow this story is plummeting way soon down the list :)

Seems like a Google - Hilary thing :)

Shows how most CEOs of even large companies are human like everyone else, not the "super mature", "super calculated", "super intelligent" begins they are made out to be. It's also important to note the arrogance - invented the 90 day trial :D

On a more humorous note - I'd like to see you volunteer as a Beta Tester for Theranos' next release :) :)

Not when your bug can kill a person or damage his organs due to wrong medication give because of a wrong test result.

There is a reason Healthcare is regulated and required multiple degrees of testing before it can be released to the general public -- imagine every new "health startup" pushing new drugs and then saying they'll "fix a bug" when a couple of folks die. The comparison is immature.

>>I mean the much narrower point of not being able to tell -- from the press -- whether a company actually has a technology that works.

Unbelievable - even if he said Theranos is trying to get their shit together and there have been some mistakes, it would make sense. To say its just a smear campaign is ridiculous - what about the thousands of results they withdrew as they admitted it was wrong?

http://www.wsj.com/article_email/theranos-voids-two-years-of...

It's even more ridiculous to call her one of the greatest female entrepreneurs!

I had a lot of respect for Draper but this is so disappointing. Just to make sure their investment does not hit a big ZERO value, they seem to be siding with an entrepreneur who has wronged everyone! What a shame!

Dear Coursera,

Thanks for all the free courses for the last couple of years. I understand the need to be profitable and make this a real business so you don't have to fire all your good employees who have helped provide free education for so long.

I for one welcome what you are doing - as I understand that's is impossible to sustain a free model forever.

All the best!
