I think you missed the point of the article, which was that buying Whole Foods had nothing to do with winning or losing, but with providing a first, best customer for their grocery sales efforts.

I suspect because node.js (something like which was needed) was already using V8 so you'd have to use the corresponding browser core engine.

Health sharing co-ops have been at this for some time, based on Christian principles. Samaritan Ministries, e.g., is $500/month for family and generally pays 100% of medical expenses, though no guarantees. Our monthly check goes direct

Agreed, but is Amazon really any better? Seems like they're (Amazon) the final nail in the coffin for many local businesses, after Walmart already put them there.

Great write-up. Hey, if you use InDesign and Google Docs, sounds like you could use our DocsFlow plug-in. You're welcome to a free license or two in support of your efforts...

Matches more or less what we do as a 4-man team. I'm curious why they used appear.in instead of Slack's audio/video conferencing? The latter is too new?

The author sorta takes us through Postman's arguments, but then turns on him in the end. I guess that's inevitable (given Postman's own arguments about trivializing things), but why not let them stand on their own?

Maybe because the Judeo-Christian (considered as one monotheistic religion developing from the other) tradition is true? Truth would have enduring qualities. ;-) (I know, infinite downvotes.) I don't see how anyone could be atheistic--

Until you get a president the deep state loathes (like Trump) and whom they would not have chosen, and then they can turn on him, like leaking negative things about him and taking out his appointees (like Mike Flynn).

Why would Russia (or other anti-US entities) need to create such a climate? Isn't it prima facie clear that the three-letter agencies are essentially rogue governments (the "deep state"), a law unto themselves, and thus compl

I can vouch for the "fund people, not projects" aspect of ARPA funding in the early 70's. I was a lowly undergrad but working with Tom Cheatham (who ran the grad Harvard Center for Research in Computing Technology) and others

You can turn Siri and iCloud off at first boot-up, and the others are just apps that sit in /Applications and don't really take up much space, and won't bother you if you don't use them. (The only exception might be Gara

Trump's "goons" (you mean ICE officers, right?) aren't "hunting immigrants." They're trying to enforce the laws about legal and illegal immigration. If you don't like the laws, work to change them. Do

I'm sorry, but this is just a non-issue. How often do you change brightness? Once or twice a day? I have no problem hitting the virtual escape key without looking. So much drama! Sure, it's not a perfect solution, but it's al

We've used it with our home-educated high schoolers (though with tutors), and it's also used at the International Theological Institute in Vienna, where some of our kids go. Seems like a good program.

I'm sorry, but using SPLC as an source for figures is not responsible reporting. They're a known horribly biased group, and many of the so-called "hate crimes" since the election have been been proven false. See this lis
