My family used apple pay, and ended up paying for the person on the other counter as well. Not sure how it happened, but I got the detailed receipts from the card provider. It indicated 2 transactions on 2 different counters, at almost same time!

Target was nice enough to give a gift card for that amount.


What tests are done to determine genetic cause? This would be really helpful, appreciate your info


We did a genetic test for small number of well known genetic disabilities when she was younger that did not yield a result. Our neurologist then recommended a "whole exome sequencing" a few years later. This is where we found a result.

Insurance is often reluctant to cover this but it's SOMEWHAT affordable (want to say 2-3k with some hospital magic discounts). I can't say it has affected our course of treatment but we were concerned about what other health related issues may be associated with the diagnosis. And it is somewhat promising that a treatment may someday be available.

I would highly recommend pushing for testing. I am told they continually with run your results against know mutations as they find more. So even if you don't get a result today you may someday.


Thank you for the elaborate response, this is helpful


I have a naive question.

All these moderators do spend considerable time and effort on reddit.

And now reddit is going public, do the moderators get paid going forward? why would someone want to volunteer for a profit making company?


Semi-paid volunteers are legally tricky - https://priceonomics.com/the-aol-chat-room-monitor-revolt/

People volunteer to moderate communities because they care about the value of that community. Not dissimilar from running a small forum.


Because it hosts the community itself.

Perhaps a reddit alternative would be just a reddit hoster that hosts the platform for X$ and moderators find a way to get paid.


I do not think this is true.


It is.
