I suppose applicants with faces judged as competent and dominant (and looking like Zuckerberg, etc) tend to come out on top after video pitches in startup incubator applications.
In TIOBE index of programming language popularity (based on web searches), Ruby is ranked 18th, down from 11th in April 2014. It fluctuates, but the trend is downward - 14th in November 2014, 13th in November 2013 and 11th in January 2013. Javascript is still rising.

The TIOBE method is rather meaningless below rank 10 (and probably above, too). The delta between spot 10 and spot 20 in their ladder is a mere 1.1 points (of 100).
Do you really believe Delphi and ABAP are more popular than Ruby, as their table claims?
It is supported by overall job trends
Huh? In both of your linked charts Ruby is trending upwards.
Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if ABAP were to rival Ruby in popularity (by employment metrics) considering how widely adopted SAP is within the fortune 500.
I don't disagree with the rest of your points, just pointing out that the enterprise world is much larger than most developers would anticipate.
Well, what else have we got? I'm not a big fan of TIOBE, but SO's recent surveys have also confirmed dropping Ruby popularity. I did say 'might be'. I'm being a bit cagey because it's hard to tell, we all live in cliques.
So to me it's all a bit risky, a bit of a punt, and so I'm asking, what am I not seeing, where's the market they're betting on?
Actually, life expectancy of world class aerobic athletes (unlike power (anaerobic) ones) is a little higher than average according to studies in US, Spain, Germany, Poland...
Could be a little lower than life expectancy of those involved in moderate aerobic activities though, I guess.
The effect depends on field signal characteristics (frequency, amplitude, wave shape), duration of exposure, genetics and metabolism. Some bacteria can be negatively affected even by 10 mT.
In clinical trials people were "safely" exposed to up to 3 T.
Besides, Comprehensive health records as well as yearly physicals are meaningless for healthy people.
I also found that people don't trust paid services either, when it comes to their health (at least when provided by companies other than their health provider)
I like the idea behind Zenobase.
Aurametrix explored relationships between many different sources of data that could be related to health. It is not public now, but would be happy to share the insights.
I agree, but think it is even more niche. They hope
that wearables will transform the "quantified self" from a niche to a mainstream, but as this iWatch parody says: http://mashable.com/2014/05/30/apple-iwatch-parody/?utm_cid=...

No doubt, biotech will be "eaten" by software. But the crowded market of biotech software has many viable open source alternatives. Besides, many tools have been developed or are being developed by established companies.
Yet, I don't see much evidence of growth. Looks like 'play money' for investors.
You could have said all these things about Dropbox.
