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.

it's a "directory" of deals and offers for startups and small businesses.

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

Author here. Time for new hosting... a good problem to have I guess.

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.

Have you considered what books you choose and the efforts you make to apply what you learn from it?

I can't begin to quantify what I've learned (note: I wrote the post) and much of it is because of what books I chose and the effort to apply what I read.

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!)

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.

Genentech dumped billions into developed AIDSVAX. It never worked for them well enough to market, but VaxGen took the IP and has shown interesting results - but still far from production ready.

From what I read, they already have one developed.

There have been some vaccines developed already, some even reached phase 1 to 3 human testing, and one even reached actual use.
