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.

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 ye

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.

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

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
