Ask HN: Elizabeth Holmes has 200 patents – if tech didn't work, why not noticed?

I searched her name on a couple of patent search engines. Turns out she has around 200 patents (with other people mostly). So if her tech didn't work, then why didn't people figure it out sooner? Why did it take a journalist from WSJ to find the fraud? How come some prominent physicist or biologist doing "competition research" didn't declare that the patents were based on bogus claims?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Looking for a simple solution for building an online course

Ask HN: Looking for a simple solution for building an online course 11 by r4victor | 2 comments on Hacker News. I want to build an online course on graph algorithms for my university. I've tried to find a solution which would let submit, execute and test student's code (implement an online judge), but have had no success. There are a lot of complex LMS and none of them seem to have this feature as a basic functionality. Are there any good out-of-box solutions? I'm sure I can build a course using Moodle or another popular LMS with some plugin, but I don't want to spend my time customizing things. I'm interested both in platforms and self-hosted solutions. Thanks!
