> I don't follow news about India/AIDS

Are you honestly saying that you cannot see how smart people with excellent computing could possibly do anything to help with significant problems such as HIV/AIDS or world hunger or food insecurity?

Are you really only interested in news about the latest cat-photo startup?

(I'm not dismissing those web sites. People have fun, and winning a start-up lottery gives that person money to spend on good science.)

> Roving engine of chaos and snide remarks.

That's not a good thing, especially here.
