A Theranos employee committed suicide during and partially as a result of Holmes' scam. There were deaths inside the company – nevermind the potential ones inside.

How many defaced pictures of peoples' kids redistributed to harass people? FYI: I see that insane failure of human decency happening in 2018, on Facebook, in reality currently.

There's a well-known reason for these requirements: they are an attrition tactic. It erects barriers to obtaining insurance benefits. Many give up, reducing the costs to the insurance company. It happens with WAY more than chairs, and is fundamentally unethical.

And by writing that way they likely underweight the PR risk to their business. It's their choice, but it sure as hell just turned me off.

Still waiting. Does your moderation actually have any teeth, or is it just a bunch of hot air like all of the eugenics-loving psychopaths you guys continually coddle on here spew?

Welcome to HN, where you get downvoted for asking for a citation, and then downvoted again because you're not allowed to complain about the moronic retaliatory downvoting.

You said it twice.

This is what lack of emotional intelligence looks like. If you can't figure out how what you typed could be interpreted in this way by others, I feel very badly for you.
