This is the twisted, morally indifferent world we live in. After all, who cares about rumpled up hos if someone may have unearthed the "Prison Diet." The editor's hook is that bubble lathering up in someone's head: "damn, I'd kill to lose weight!!!"
Carreyrou and Investigative Journalism
Check out the Vanity Fair piece on Theranos
It has just been a wild, wild ride for Ms. Holmes. She achieved so much just to take her company to its soaring private valuation; nonetheless, I can't help but think of the tens, or hundreds, or maybe even thousands of people who may have received false positives or false negatives on the back of Theranos tests that were at best "not ready for primetime," at worst fradulent.
Either way, this (below) has to be the crowning achievement for any investigative journalist. This is winning the superbowl. This is the Bocuse d'Or.
Chanting "fuck you..." WITH the name... Good lord, it doesn't get better than that
Carreyrou just crushed this. And there ain't any better "proof of the pudding." Investigative journalists don't live for the fleeting accolades of the general public, they live to be hated--with passion--because they are right. It's one thing for a grumpy CEO to curse you, but to have your own eponymous cum titular chant is simply legendary.
"Kudos. Carreyrou!"

Note to the members of Reddit sub r/hapas/:
Please don't try to further this idea that half-Asian men are prone to being violent as a result of structural conditions without mentioning that "Eurasians" get killed too.
For all that you may want to read into murderous denouements of the Elliot Rogers of the world, humor us with some intellectual honesty and acknowledge that random, bad shit happens to everyday mixed people, all the time.
It is easy to cherry pick cases.

One of the side crowds, West of the main protest area
These were the everyday police units. No real special gear here. None was apparent at 5pm.
A lot of regular folks out
Mood was relatively calm at 5:20pm
Then there was this massing of people, and at approx. 5:30pm the crowd was still steadily growing. There were plenty of people to the North, on the sidelines too (this view is looking East)
Designer Fans? The Piaget Ad got a lot of play too :)
