You are an organic meme, not an advertisment being pushed by some big marketing firm to virally promote an upcoming movie, right?

Why would I deceive you?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago (5 children)

Netflix live action Rescue Rangers casting agent dream actress right there.

[–] lillardfair@lemmy.world 2 points 33 minutes ago

Why'd you have to go and say a thing like that? Here I was, living my life with NO attraction to Elizabeth Holmes...

[–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 2 hours ago

I totally see it, and I am totally here for it.

Well shit, now I can't unsee it. How dare you!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 8 hours ago

John Oliver would also self-admittedly fit in a movie featuring anthropomorphic mice. Just maybe not as well for Gadget, specifically.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I’d watch it

I know this is the sad reality at most companies but when I put someone on a PIP I 100% expect them to improve and recover from whatever got them in the PIP.

[–] realworldschlitz@lemmy.world -4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Guarantee you there’s a non zero chance you are the reason for their pip.

I’ve been a cpo, a cdo, a head of design, a design mgr and an individual contributor. The sad reality is that rarely has a pip corrected anything and mostly it is used to push out individuals… individuals that often contribute great things.

You work with people you want to succeed… others throw them to the wolves and it’s called a pip.

I’d love to hear the situation that describes otherwise?

[–] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah sounds like you are in the meme. Dont project onto me lol.

[–] achsonaja@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

One day old account that other one. Lots of negative takes in that time. Trolls be trolling.

Cant wait to see this. She's terrifying and Fielder is imho the perfect foil to interview her.

Its weird cuz she just ripped off a bunch of rich people, I dont really have any reason to hate her really but she's sort of emblematic of what is problematic of startup and tech culture and in a sense identify culture where being the first ___ founder/CEO or one of few ____ founders/CEOs/whatever is part of the pitch.

In a better world it would never have entered the equation much less overshadowed the actual lack of viable product/IP. How did no blood scientist/dr/expert not easily point out their premise was fatally flawed in a way that doomed the whole exercise, both internally and publicly?

There were some after the fact and it was exposed who were casually like "ya, the blood available from a pinprick to the finger doesnt suffice for the grand vision Theranos was sold as and predicated upon

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 26 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

she just ripped off a bunch of rich people

Her company was sinking its teeth into the medical field though. That could’ve killed people if they weren’t found out soon enough.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

They likely did kill people who were using it and would otherwise have consulted with a doctor.

[–] Zensate@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I mean they're killing enough people on their own

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 29 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

How did no blood scientist/dr/expert not easily point out their premise was fatally flawed?

They did. Every expert out there pointed out it's impossible.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 16 points 11 hours ago

I remember one former employee posted on reddit without naming the company, saying everything they were claiming was bs. A little later the scandal blew up and it was confirmed the guy worked for Theranos.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The most depressing thing about this entire ordeal is that the woman stole lots of money, got busted because that money belonged to rich people, and is now after having been convicted and literally been to prison as far as i know, able to cash in on that further. Lets make a movie about that wonderful successful scammer.

[–] Papazoo@piefed.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

I think there's a law in the states that criminals can't profit from the story of their crime. If I remember correctly, the money that would have gone to the criminal goes to restitution for the victims.

Why is this so common, anyway? Why do so many images like this even exist?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 7 hours ago

I would imagine in many cases for images uploaded to an image host, the host is automatically changing the actual format of the image (this happens to me on some sites tho it is pretty rare in 2026). Or it was saved by someone who took a screenshot of the image instead of saving the actual image.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 9 hours ago

It's probably because of communism.

[–] frog@feddit.uk 4 points 12 hours ago

Why do PNG images with alpha transparencies exists?

Because when put on a background gif transparencies look dithered since gif transparencies are either on or off. There are no 50% or any other partial opacities.

If you are using gifs for like moving pixel art, that's great but if a designer wants a realistic still images with moving clouds in the background, PNG would be a way better option.

[–] RogueBanana@piefed.zip 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

They want you to pay to remove it

[–] restingOface@quokk.au 7 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, it's just the thumbnail or whatever for the real image that truly has transparency. If anything, you should be angry at the search engine for even displaying this as a result when you select that you're querying for images with transparency.
