   There is a body of work in cognitive science that suggests that intelligence is what emerges from communication between unintelligent agents. Marvin Minsky's book "The Society of Mind" is an older but pretty complete treatise of this idea.

   The studio ghibli movies generally stand in a class of their own as far as anime goes. Kind of like pixar.

   Delivery sounds nice but it could quickly balloon to be the most expensive part of the business. Packaging, mobile refrigeration, etc. I like that they're focusing on curb-side pickup. I know I hate shopping with kids. I'd love to just be a

    I think it's prudent to add to the conversation that the Japanese language has a rather significant difference in the way that pronouns are used. "The first person pronouns (e.g. watashi, 私) and second person pronouns (e.g. anata, 貴方) are u
