The study found that if HIV-infected heterosexual individuals begin taking antiretroviral medicines when their immune systems are relatively healthy as opposed to delaying therapy until the disease has advanced, they are 96 percent less likely to transmit the virus to their uninfected partners.
I’m a bit shocked that it’s taken us this long to realize early prevention actually helps.
I’m not sure what’s scarier: People chanting for Bane in the TDKR trailer, or people chanting for Palin in Game Change
Yes, a live action Rurouni Kenshin movie is happening. No, I’m not sure if this is a good idea, or doomed to fail.

In fact, it is now usually cheaper to just try something than to sit around and try to figure out whether to try something. The product map is now often more complex and more expensive to create than trying to figure it out as you go. The compass has replaced the map, and “rough consensus and running code” has become the fundamental philosophy for the so-called lean start-up movement.
