Elizabeth Holmes wanted an Apple flag flown at half-mast after Steve Jobs died, per "Bad Blood." According to John Carreyrou's book, an employee couldn't find a flag to buy so he had one made. The book highlights the many ways Holmes, who's now in prison, tried to emulate Jobs. Loading Something is loading. Thanks for signing up!

Elizabeth Holmes ordered a specially made Apple flag to be flown at half-mast at Theranos' headquarters after Steve Jobs died, according to a Carreyrou's "Bad Blood Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup" says that Holmes and Sunny Balwani, the Theranos COO and her boyfriend, wanted to pay tribute to the Apple cofounder after he died in October to "Bad Blood," they wanted to fly an Apple flag at half-mast in the grounds of the Theranos building in Palo Alto. A Theranos employee volunteered to try to find an Apple flag to buy but couldn't find one. Instead he went to a store to have one made, with the Apple logo in white on a black background – a task that took several hours, per the book. "In the meantime, work at the company came to a standstill as Elizabeth and Sunny moped around the office, consumed by the hunt for the Apple flag," wrote Carreyrou, who first exposed Theranos's faulty blood testing kits in reporting for The Wall Street Journal in episode is one of several examples of Holmes' reverence for the Apple cofounder, whom she tried to emulate while heading a company that briefly reached a $9 billion valuation. This included both hat tips to Apple, like labelling her blood testing kits as "the iPod of healthcare," and more overt behavior such as wearing black turtleneck sweaters like Jobs did. Holmes was often hailed as the next Steve Jobs, a comparison she was happy to embrace, before Theranos eventually collapsed and she was convicted on four fraud counts. Private notes obtained by CNBC show Holmes would write to herself about "becoming" Jobs and also aped his management techniques outlined in Walter Isaacson's biography of to "Bad Blood," Theranos employees could pinpoint which chapter of the book Holmes was up to based on the period of Jobs' career she appeared to be began serving an 11-year sentence at a Texas prison camp on May 30 after being found guilty of four of 11 fraud charges linked to Theranos' faulty blood testing kits. Balwani was found guilty on four counts and began serving his sentence in to a restitution order, Holmes and Balwani were ordered to pay $125 million to Rupert Murdoch, and $40 million to Walgreens, among other Theranos investors. Lawyers for Holmes and Balwani didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours. Too often in conversations about suffering, one particular Bible story is not consistently discussed. The Book of Job is a story that details the life of one man who was not a distinguished church figure facing persecution. He was an everyday man, albeit affluent in possessions and faith. The Bible describes Job’s financial stature as making him a noteworthy person in his region of the east. He had a large family of a wife, seven sons, and three daughters. In his possession were also large quantities of land and animals Job 12-3. Of all that he owned, his greatest asset was his faith.“There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.” Job 11Job’s ability to believe was so impressive that he garnered the attention of God and also Satan. In this first chapter of Job, we read an account of God questioning Satan about his schemes. Satan confesses to roaming about the Earth, and God asks if the Devil has considered Job. The question sets Job up for an intense season of suffering, one that breaks him physically, emotionally, even spiritually, but he never forsakes his faith. All this occurs as a test, allowed by God to show Satan Job’s faith Job 111-12.Job’s story continues to be relevant to Christians today because of his ability to believe despite suffering. His season of loss is a reminder that no possession or relationship on this Earth is guaranteed to last forever. Not even our health. Job found himself losing all that he owned, all except for his faith. However, Job’s story is not limited to suffering or maintaining faith amid trials. There are a number of different lessons we can glean, but first, we must understand the purpose of the Book of Job and why it was included in the Wrote the Story of Job and Why Is the Book of Job included in the Bible?The Bible is authored by a number of different people, prophets and kings included. There are even unknown authors of certain passages. As for the Book of Job, the author is unclear. There is no indication of the author within the book itself, and Job’s death is mentioned in chapter 42, the last chapter of the book. There is speculation amongst the scholarly community that Moses wrote the book, but there is no conclusive without an author, the story’s inclusion in the Bible informs us that there is something God wants to glean from His word 2 Timothy 316. In addition to authorial speculation, the inclusion of Job’s story is believed by some to be purposed in answering the question of why innocent people suffer. By the conclusion of the book, there is no answer given as to why innocents suffer, but there is a solution, trust. The idea and word trust appears multiple times throughout the Bible spoken by different people. The idea is also present here as Job experiences suffering and seeks God for help. With this greater understanding, we can analyze the 5 the story of Important Things to Know about the Story of Job1. Job Suffered while InnocentJob did not commit any sin that led to his suffering. On the contrary, Job’s suffering came about as God allowed Satan to test his faith. Why did Job have to suffer at all? The same question has been asked throughout the ages after events such as school shootings or natural disasters. Why do innocent people suffer for seemingly no reason? And Job was so greatly afflicted by his problems that he cursed, not God, but the day that he was born.“After this, Job began to speak and cursed the day he was born.” Job 31This was not an inconvenience that Job experienced. Life as he knew it was turned upside down and made into something that brought him intense pain. Job represents the truth that innocent people suffer, but by the end of his story also shows that God is in control the entire time. God allowed Satan to attack Job spiritually, emotionally, and physically, but never to the point of death Job 26. God remained in Job Questioned GodAs shown in the Psalms, which follow after the Book of Job, prayer is shown to be communication with God that is deep, intimate, and honest. As Christians, we can talk to God about things going well in our lives, and also our troubles. Job did not hide his troubles and spoke openly.“If I have sinned, what have I done to you,Watcher of humanity?Why have you made me your target,so that I have become a burden to you?”Job 720In his anguish and confusion, Job sought to have dialogue with God as a means of understanding his plight. We are like Job when we experience suffering. We may ask God questions like “How long?” or “Why is this happening to me?” Though not immediately, God does respond to Job later in the book Job 38. God also answers our prayers, just in His own timing. In the way God responds to Job, He makes clear that though we may ask, our sense of comprehension will never fully grasp God and His ways. Still, He is Job’s Loved Ones Didn’t HelpJob’s wife was the first to reveal her lack of faith in God. “His wife said to him, Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!’” Job 2-9Job’s response shows just how much faith he had in spite of her doubts. “You speak as a foolish woman speaks,’ he told her. Should we accept only good from God and not adversity?’ Throughout all this Job did not sin in what he said” Job 210. Job posits an excellent question to consider. If God promises salvation in the form of heaven, why is life expected by some to only be good?Job’s three friends when introduced to the story bear witness to his suffering. They go so far as to lament on his behalf Job 213. As the Book of Job continues each friend has a chapter where they engage in dialogue with Job. Then Job is given a chapter where he responds. The friends’ attempts to “help” go so poorly that God is ultimately disappointed in them Job 427. God was so upset he had them offer sacrifices as repentance. The reason for this is that the friends blamed Job for his suffering, unbeknownst to them God allowed Job to suffer despite being a righteous friend Eliphaz was the first to blame Job. “Consider Who has perished when he was innocent” Job 47? Their relationship helps us see how we as believers seek counsel from others. While people may mean well in their advice-giving, no one can truly comprehend how God works in our lives and should not speak on His behalf. Moreover, suffering is to be experienced even by the innocents, like Job, not because someone has committed an offense against God, but because suffering is a part of used Job’s suffering to build him up and show the Devil that Job would keep his Job Was Restored“After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and doubled his previous possessions.” Job 4210In the end, Job gained more than he lost. And he was restored in all aspects of his life health, family, finances. God showed Job favor as he remained faithful in his belief. This information is important because these details reflect the loving nature of God. God’s love was present despite Job’s unhelpful friends, wife, and harsh does not allow sorrow for the sake of suffering. He allows us to experience trials to make us better people and expose weak areas in our lives. Job was able to learn more about God during his struggle and further build his trust in the Lord. Job’s suffering too also allowed God to affect Job’s friends. They initially blamed Job and learned that Job hadn’t done anything to merit his suffering, thus, showing them a side of God they were unaware of Job Kept His FaithThroughout the entire book, Job prayed, struggled, and eventually overcame. He never stopped having a relationship with God. Nor did he curse God as his wife encouraged him to do in the second chapter. Job’s steadfast faith offers proof that no matter life’s circumstances, maintaining faith is always a possibility. Whether we are spiritually, emotionally, or physically stricken, we can keep our trust in God. He will at some point deliver us from our troubles, and make us better from the Modern Day JobAs we read and learn from Job we can ascertain that suffering comes upon all, sinful or guiltless. Jesus was the only person without sin and even He knew suffering. While we may encounter our own unexpected problems like Job, his story reminds us that even when we don’t understand why we can put trust in God. That trust is not limited to circumstances, nor by the “advice” given by other believers. Trust is not an explanation of why Job suffered, or why we suffer. Yet, the idea of trust gives us a solution to bear the one can fully understand God, and that gives us all the more reason to pray. And when we pray and while we wait, we know in the end God will make us into someone better than where we started. Job proved ReadingBible Story of JobWhat Is the Story of Job? 'Who Wrote the Bible?'

I gather that you’re even being with us is something of a miracle given the difficulties you had at birth?Adam Spencer “If I am in a room of randomly selected people, I’m a maths genius. In a room of maths PhDs, I’m as dumb as a box of hammers.”Credit James BrickwoodAS I’ll be honest, I don’t recall much of it, but my Mum tells the story. January 1969, I was plucked out by metal forceps and, yep, looked like I wasn’t going to make it. Significant amounts of blood had pooled in my skull and was putting pressure on my brain. I had multiple seizures in my first hours alive. I’m one of the few atheists who has been baptised … twice … once at the hospital when it looked like it was lights out, and then once later in church. I pulled through, but it gave me my wonky eye …Fitz You might call it a “wonky” eye, but I am not sure I You have my permission. My wonky eye comes from the doctor at the time not really knowing how to apply forceps in those days massive claws, attached at such a bad angle it cut off the blood supply to a muscle in my eye. I couldn’t open my eyelid, and can only see out of that eye because the one and only Fred Hollows removed a chunk of said lid. But today, if there was a magic pill that could make it go away, I wouldn’t take it. I’m quite comfortable with it. If anything it’s a sort of signature that people tend to Tell me about your academic breakthrough as a Spencer with Wil Anderson during their triple j AS My voracious love of maths made me what teachers call “a challenging student”. But one fateful day my second grade teacher, Ms Russell, said, “Adam, after lunch, we’re going to do 10 questions in this chapter on multiplication. If instead of going to class, you go to the library, I bet you can’t get all 50 questions in the chapter done in the time we do 10.”Fitz And …?AS Peter, I can still remember running for the library at the end of lunch. And that’s what we did from then on. I’d go and do extra questions by myself. I’d bring them back to Ms Russell and say, “Look, you don’t need to mark them. I’ve checked them and they’re all correct. In fact, I think there’s a misprint in question 37.” Ms Russell was a great teacher. Great teachers are often ones who realise that a certain kid needs a particular challenge, or a little bit of support, and with me, she just shovelled in more and more maths. A few years later I got a life-changing scholarship to St Aloysius You were there with Joe Hockey, am I right?AS He was my cadet commander in Year 9! So if we’d ever been invaded by Monte St Angelo or another local girls’ school I would have been first up out of the trenches at Sergeant Joe’s The first time I noticed you, I was invited to do a debate for Sydney Uni against Oxford at a rugby club function, and thought I blew everyone off the stage until you came up and blew me off the stage. I wrote about you in the Herald, so can I claim to have invented you, or at least discovered you?AS [Drolly.] Absolutely. And if it wasn’t for that. I’d still be just hanging around Wentworth Park trying to debate my way into being a media superstar!Fitz So not long after that you wound up hosting a breakfast show with Wil Anderson at triple Yes. At the time I was doing a PhD in pure maths at Sydney Uni, but I was not meant for it. If I am in a room of randomly selected people, I’m a maths genius. In a room of maths PhDs, I’m as dumb as a box of hammers. Thankfully, someone enrolled me in triple j’s first Raw Comedy competition. Now I can crack a joke and was confident on stage, and being the first such comp, the standard was abysmal. So I won! When the Js said, “do you want to come to do some stuff?” that was a very easy choice for me to Which led to hosting Breakfast on ABC Radio Sydney, and inventing Dry July, which is coming up?“In my corporate persona, I’m smarter than the funny guys, and funnier than the smart guys.”AS Indeed. In 2008, we were doing talkback on the subject of giving up alcohol. Three guys got in touch, saying they were having a “dry July” to raise money for the Prince of Wales Hospital. Our listeners all hopped on board and decided they’d sponsor these guys and even do a dry July themselves. One of the guys, a web designer, banged out a page. A month later, instead of three guys raising $3000 for the hospital, 1000 people got together and raised $257,000. Dry July was born. In 15 years we’ve raised $82 million. It’s humbling and the closest thing I have to a Where does the money go?AS Dry July supports adult cancer services. We’ve helped over 80 hospitals, allied health services, survivorship programs and the So how do you define yourself these days? Are you a celebrity mathematician, an author, a republican activist, a thinker, a drinker, a comedian, an MC for hire?AS Jack-of-all-trades is a cliched term, but I’ve always had multiple interests. My main job now is as corporate speaker and MC and with my nerdy mathematics background I talk a lot about digital disruption and AI. All the sexy conversations right now concern how ChatGPT and “large language” models will change the world. I’ve always said that, in my corporate persona, I’m smarter than the funny guys, and funnier than the smart You’re an expert on AI too? I still don’t get it. Are we all ruined or are we all going to be OK?AS The upsides are gigantic. The downsides are potentially perilous. I’m calmed by the fact that there’s a lot of really smart people thinking very hard about it. But we absolutely have to keep an eye on the speed at which artificial intelligence is developing, and the potential misuses is it could be put to everything from ransomware attacks to facilitating Neil deGrasse Tyson will be interviewed on stage by Spencer during the upcoming Australian tour. Credit Fitz Yes, yes, yes. Of course, terrorism. But can we bring it back to us for a moment? I do hope it’s not going to threaten mathematicians with … dodgy eyes, or former footballers who can pound typewriters, is it?AS For the moment, I think we’ll be OK. There’s no doubt a lot of professions will be disrupted, maybe even removed. But above all one is safest. A few years ago, Oxford University analysed which industries and professions were the most future-proof against AI? Get this – the single safest of all is … hairdressing! It’s as much about the chat and the conversation and therapy as it is the tips and the foils. I think that’s I see that in July you’re touring the country, sober, with a very real intelligence, interviewing Neil deGrasse Tyson. I’ve long seen his name without quite grasping who he is, bar He’s a superstar American cosmologist and astrophysicist, a formidable public intellect specialising in the deep questions about space, the universe and life therein. The tour is called Cosmic Perspectives on Civilisation, and we will discuss how the universe works. Where did it come from? Where did life come from? Are we just a unique one-off intelligence in the universe? Is there any likelihood that there are other civilisations out there? Will we ever encounter them? If we did, how would we communicate? Are they, by definition, miles ahead of us? If they’ve discovered the same things, will their mathematics be the same as ours? Would the physics be the same? Really deep and fun questions. Balancing the fact that we are intelligent enough to be able to contemplate that question against the “infinite” size of the universe; does that mean there has to be millions of other intelligent civilisations out there? Or could we be is this incalculably small statistical fluke?LoadingFitz Buggered if I know. But, bearing in mind that you’ve been doubly baptised, what about the question, does God exist?AS I feel strongly no. For some people religion fulfils that part of humanity that needs a sense of wonder, a sense of awe, a sense of humility. I see the images from the James Webb Telescope, cancer immunotherapy treatments, Breaking Bad season five, and I get more than enough of a sense of wonder and awe and associated humility. I don’t need an additional layer of hypothesis that doesn’t answer a single question and only raises many, many more issues to complicate things. We’ll be taking all those kinds of questions from the Well, here is a question here from the fellow that used to wear a red bandana, over here in the corner. My question is to you, Mr Spencer, not Neil. I’ve seen you do quite a few maths books which have seriously clever quizzes and puzzles. Hit me with your best shot. Let’s go out on your most clever maths quiz or How about this? If you take a deck of cards and genuinely shuffle it, then that order of cards hasn’t ever happened before in the history of the universe. And it will never happen again. I know that with absolute I like it, and am appropriately stunned. Next question. Best maths joke?AS An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one says, “I’ll have a beer”. The second one says, “I’ll have half a beer”. The third one says, “I’ll have a quarter of a beer”. Before the fourth one can say, “I’ll have an eighth of a beer”. The barman pours them two beers and says, “piss off, guys.” Get it?Fitz [Stony silence.]AS Hey, tough crowd tonight!Fitz Thanks for your infinite time. And I will tell the readers why your joke is funny, when you send it to me.
