Yes, but I've heard some people say that the Gates foundation is not very good at approaching malaria. If you asked me to choose between them and Musk to approach malaria, my instinct is to go with Musk.

I don't in anyway shape or form think 20% of boys should be diagnosed with ADHD. I think something is seriously wrong with our society if this is happening.

I think medication for ADHD should be avoided unless it is necessary.

I also have read statistics on how ADHD is treated in children which very much trouble me - there it seems to be highly overdiagnosed and treated.

Edited to make more clear, thanks!

Off the top of my head, roughly 7% of kids in the US have ADHD and roughly 4-5% of adults have ADHD.

20% of boys of a certain age have currently been diagnosed with ADHD.

I've personally known someone who has taken Ritalin type meds for 20+ years and did extremely well on it. In addition, my research indicates that tolerance to ADHD meds is uncommon and typically a person can be kept on one dose for years.

I've written a book on ADHD (Adult ADHD: What You Need to Know). I specifically looked into the tolerance questions. The doctors I found who are experts in the field and have treated a very large amount of patients say developing tolerance is unusual.

The site appears to be down.

I greatly enjoy working on my startups, ideas and projects. If I had 5 million dollars, I would just change how I work.

Linguistic analysis isn't a field I particularly trust. If they were analyzing his Reddit posts, I'd find that potentially an issue. People post quite differently on Reddit.

For the writing section, you have to follow an exact structure and use the right amount of words. You can also make stuff up to support your arguments.

It's basically "Write a generic 5 paragraph essay using memorized argument flow."

Yet. No one would do that - yet.

I'm working on http://shobia.com.

It's going to be two things. First, a wiki for hobbies and interests like home improvement. That's the basic, ho-hum part.

The other, exciting part is that it'll provide a variety of finder and recommendation tools. At the moment, I'm working on a tool to help people find career matches. But in the long run, I hope the site will cover topics like finding apps and video games, cars, outfits and so much more!

Your site sounds really interesting! Look forward to learning more about it.

Nah. You can survive #1 on HN; #1 on reddit, is another story.

What is the type of site you're showing? There may be a specific subreddit that would be good.

Good point. The books you read seem to be a mix of technical and life improvement. The books I read are chosen from the New Book section and I avoid books that would require too much thinking (as I read to relax on the weekend!)

For women, certain cancers are less likely if you have a child for a variety of factors, including different hormonal states.

It takes character to change when things aren't working. Good on AnyPerk!

The site looks interesting, but keep getting a 500 error. I'd advise the owner to switch off HostGator soon; that web host has gone significantly downhill

I read 3 books a week. I've learned a bit, but not much that's affected my life directly in a practical way.

Obviously, I do enjoy it though.

I remember the last time something like this happened - 4 years ago it was down for almost a day.

Impressive that it's almost always up without serious flaws (for me at least)!

This is an ambitious goal. Finding an AIDS vaccine isn't easy.

I still vividly recall my Professor who has many years experiences with viruses saying, "I don't think there will ever be an AIDS vaccine."

I think and hope he's wrong, but it is surely no easy task.
