![]() So, I decided that MacDown should have a blog. I haven’t tried many other online services, but as far as I know there’s nothing that fits the asker’s requirement (which is not saying those platforms are bad-they are just incompatible). While the configuration does somehow resemble MacDown’s, they are still different, and at times incompatible with each other. I host my own personal site/blog, and it uses a custom renderer to process Markdown. One particular instance is when I got asked whether I can recommend a blogging platform that supports extensions MacDown has. Some of them have been added as FAQ, but there are more that don’t fit, and they need a good place to the public. For those I can answer (not a lot, really), many are common enough that I got asked multiple times. ![]() But I am by no means an expert on Markdown, let alone many other topics people ask me about, and I’m sorry I can’t answer many of your questions. I love them, and have tried (and will continue to try) answering them the best I could. I have also received a lot of emails/tweets/DMs recently for MacDown. So I figured that it’d be better to find somewhere else in the future. And the post doesn’t really fit well with other posts there either, as my personal blog targets more toward Chinese audience. But it seems a bit queer, to say at least, to use my personal blog for that purpose. Back when I released MacDown 0.2 I felt that we have too much to fit inside the release note, so I wrote a blog post for it.

"When you’re looking at these areas where real technology is essential, you have to do your homework," Tseng said. "Do you need a tech or engineering background? No, but if you don’t have it you’d better find somebody you trust who does and take their perspective seriously."Īll of that due diligence is essential in biotech investing, Benjamin Tseng, a principal at venture firm 1955 Capital, said. "You need to know what you’re investing in," Dylan Morris, a general partner who focuses on bioengineering investments at VC firm CRV, said. That doesn't necessarily mean those firms needed to have scientists or diagnostics experts within their ranks, biotech investors said, but if they didn't have an internal person to reality-check the science, they should have consulted with outside experts who could do it for them. Reality-check the science behind a big idea.Ī handful of biotech investors who watched from the sidelines as their peers inked deals with Theranos told Business Insider that the biggest mistake was a failure to vet the science behind the concept. Their answers contain some powerful lessons. We asked the leading VCs at some of Silicon Valley's top venture firms what investors and startups can do to avoid the pitfalls of Theranos. In January, the incubator announced it would be offering a separate track called YC Bio specifically for healthcare and biotech startups. Last year, just 8% of startups were biotech-focused. ![]() Nearly a third of the companies in the latest class of Y Combinator, Silicon Valley's biggest startup accelerator, are in the biotech sector.

When it was gradually revealed that the advanced technology required for such an idea did not yet exist, the company - and Holmes, who'd amassed a net worth of $4.5 billion after the company was valued at $9 billion - toppled. In the case of Theranos, launched over a decade ago by Stanford drop-out Elizabeth Holmes, investors put hundreds of millions in a concept with little-to-no published science to support it.

However, I was the first to graduate from college with 2 degrees, the first to have a long standing career in the biotech field, the first to start an adult dance studio, the first to start his own personal chef business, the first to have my article published in a local magazine, the first to run a marathon, the first to become multiple business owner and the first to pour belief into everyone that is a part of my circle to let them know that they can accomplish the impossible with belief in self, time, training, and love. I have achieved almost everything above with the exception of becoming a doctor, because I made the choice not to because that was someone else’s dream that I was trying to fit into my scope of abilities. ![]() How am I doing with all these dreams? So better than I could ever imagine. I had dreams of graduating college with a BS in biology and engineering, dreams of becoming a cardiologist or working in the biotech field, dreams becoming a dancer, dreams of becoming a personal chef, dreams of becoming a basketball player, dreams of becoming a business owner, dreams of running a marathon, dreams of becoming a better communicator, dreams of becoming a writer, and dreams of teaching others how to believe in themselves. I just had these dreams and the drive I got from my mother as well as a grandmother that kept me humble. Most importantly you have to pour that belief in yourself.Īs a young kid from a small little ‘country’ town called Barrett Town Little River in the hills of Rosehall, Montego Bay Jamaica, I would have never thought that I would be where I am now. Especially if you are blessed with people who pour belief in you on a daily basis. DO NOT SELL YOURSELF SHORT EVER! I know this sounds cliche and I admit, I once thought like this too, but you are capable of so many incredible, impossible things. However, I am here to tell you that you are free to think, free to dream, and free to live beyond the limitations that have been weighing your wings down throughout your life. Whenever we hear about someone attempting something that you yourself have never thought of or you yourself have never done before, most of us change the subject to something we do know or gravitate to programmed negative responses because we have been groomed to doubt our own potential. We do not pour enough belief into each other. I used the real life story above about Roger Bannister, because I recently heard about it in my process of writing and I thought about it through the perspective of limitations and the lack of support when you set out to accomplish something uncommon. This blog is about limitations, the belief systems that hinder your ability to grow and succeed beyond even your wildest imagination. If I knew about Roger Bannister throughout my life and read his story, I would have learned that the limitations society, your family, the professional world, your circumstances, your school, your town, your city, your state, your country, your own mind and this world place on your unknown potential/natural abilities are not real. With the perspective I have gained over my lifetime, I think he was extremely courageous to do something uncharted, against the grain. Despite all that, Roger Bannister broke the 4 mile mile barrier by running the mile in 3min 59.4s. I would also imagine that people thought he was crazy to even attempt it. I imagine during his training and time leading up to his attempt that he received a lot of negativity and feelings of solitude, because no one knew how to help him or guide him in the way he truly needed.

The bloody mary was ordered "extra extra spicy" and it was! Apparently they infuse vodka themselves with hot peppers. Also, at this location we got mimosas and bloody marys.

Eggs were cooked to order, meats were yummy. Their sauces are well-made in such a manner as to be consistent, reliable examples of what they purport to be. I don't know what they use in their batter, but I'd pay for the actual recipe. They beat every pancake I've ever had in a pancake house.
