设想你正坐在伊丽莎白·霍姆斯的办公桌前,就在这个细节离奇丰富的网站上。

内容总结:

在伊丽莎白·霍姆斯案庭审中,超过一千封邮件、幻灯片、短信和文件被公之于众。Extend公司工程师刘博据此打造了一个网站,模拟霍姆斯在Theranos崩盘前担任首席执行官时的日常场景。该模拟环境细节丰富,将用户带回2016年——那时iPhone还有Home键,需要滑动屏幕解锁,连MacBook Air运行的都是OS X El Capitan系统。用户可以点击浏览霍姆斯iPhone和笔记本电脑中公开的庭审文件,甚至还能操作Theranos的Edison检测仪——那台曾被寄予厚望、号称能从一滴血中提取大量健康数据却最终失败的设备。该项目表面上主要是为了博君一笑,但实际上提供了一种浏览这起科技史上最臭名昭著案件文件的有趣方式,比从法院网站下载数千份PDF要方便得多。不过,刘博还有另一层目的:推广其公司为纳森·菲尔德即将上映的霍姆斯纪录片《你什么都能看到》举办的观影活动,同时也借机宣传Extend自身。那么Extend究竟是做什么的?据称它能“以无与伦比的精度解析、提取和拆分你最棘手的文件”。

中文翻译:

在美国诉伊丽莎白·霍姆斯案庭审期间,超过一千封电子邮件、幻灯片、短信和文件被公之于众,Extend工程师刘博(Bo Lau)创建了一个网站,模拟在一切崩塌之前,担任Theranos首席执行官会是什么样子。
(每一天,我都对美国法律体系让证据开示程序公开透明心存感激。)
刘博打造的这个环境细节丰富得令人惊叹,能把你直接带回2016年——那时候iPhone还有Home键,你得用手指在屏幕上滑动才能解锁。就连MacBook Air运行的也是OS X El Capitan系统。
你可以在环境中四处点击,通过霍姆斯iPhone和笔记本电脑屏幕上的界面,翻阅法庭公开的文件。你甚至可以运行Theranos的Edison检测仪——就是那台命运多舛的设备,号称能从一滴血中提取大量健康数据。
这个项目看起来主要是做着玩的,但实际上,它是浏览科技史上最臭名昭著的案件之一相关文件的一种有趣方式——比起从法院网站上逐一搜集数千份PDF,这个界面的操作要方便得多。
不过,背后还有另一个目的。刘博正在宣传她公司为内森·菲尔德即将推出的伊丽莎白·霍姆斯纪录片《你能看到一切》举办的观影派对。
当然,她也在推销自己的公司。那么,Extend到底是做什么的?据说它能“以无与伦比的精度解析、提取和拆分你最棘手的文件”。(我不太确定这具体是什么意思,但如果它能做出霍姆斯办公桌模拟器这样的东西,那我想我对B2B SaaS是看好的。)

英文来源:

With over a thousand emails, slides, texts, and documents unveiled during the United States v. Elizabeth Holmes trial, Extend engineer Bo Lau created a website that simulates what it might have been like to be the chief executive of Theranos before everything came crashing down.
(Every day, I am grateful to the American legal system for making the discovery process public.)
The environment that Lau created is ambitiously detailed, taking you right back to 2016, a time when iPhones had home buttons, and you had to slide your finger across the screen to unlock it. Even the MacBook Air is running OS X El Capitan.
You can click around the environment, which lets you look through the documents made public from the court case on Holmes’ iPhone and laptop screens. You can even run the Theranos Edison machine, the company’s ill-fated device that was supposed to be able to extract large amounts of health data from one drop of blood.
The project seems like it was mostly made for laughs, but it’s actually an interesting way to peruse the documents from one of the most infamous court cases in tech history — it’s a lot easier to navigate this than to source thousands of PDFs from court websites.
There’s another agenda, though. Lau is promoting a watch party that her company is throwing for Nathan Fielder’s upcoming documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, “You Can See Everything.”
Also, of course, she’s promoting the company itself. So, what exactly does Extend do? Apparently, it can “parse, extract, and split your hardest documents with unmatched accuracy.” (I’m not really sure what that means, but if it makes something like this Holmes desk simulator possible, then I guess that means I’m bullish on B2B SaaS.)
