>I think what's missing is the general awareness about the connection between excess weight and other ills: diabetes, cancer, etc., etc. Really? I don't know anybody who doesn't realize that connection. It's hard to

Spectacularly unhelpful as a policy prescription. People know what they need to do to lose weight. They just don't do it.

There's no evidence any of this actually works, and most people aren't interested in a government that tries to dictate what they should eat.

Oh? What should we do?

People talk about obesity all the time. The problem is nobody knows what to do about it.

I really love this kind of stuff, and it makes me wonder how the first person who did it figured it out.

They could spin it off as an independent entity.

I wouldn't go that far, but I agree stack ranking is a really bad idea. Uber seems to be full of bad ideas, so maybe it's a good fit.

That's pretty rich from a guy who wants to put people who disagree with him on reservations.

Sure, if they buy the same brand. But styles change. Not everyone is like me, still wearing the same brand (though sadly, not the same size) of jeans I wore in high school.

It's difficult for me to believe she was in the workforce for more than forty years and never had an extra dollar to save.

How much additional obligation do the rest of us have to people who had their entire child-free lives to save money and didn't, already receive a check from the government every month, and get free health care? Do individuals have no

There are still some things you might want to buy in person. Fresh produce, for example, or clothing. Especially clothing. A lot of people like to try on clothes before they buy - they want to see how it looks on them , they want to che

These things go in cycles. When I was a kid if you wanted a toy you went to the toy section of a department store. The department stores spent decades contracting as specialty stores boomed. And now the specialty stores are shrinking in

Plus everyone who worked at those closed stores is now out of a job.

Why is it people on the left are so intent on having a civil war?

From a purely UI perspective that may be true (neglecting things like incompatible file systems, lack of networking outside large institutions, and the difficulty of doing simple things like sending email attachments), but that would be tru

It's hard to imagine your #1 could happen. The compression wave in a nuke has to be just right to achieve critical mass. It's not an easy thing to pull off deliberately under the best of circumstances #2 is sort of half true. Y

This sort of attitude is why Trump is president.

>A sizeable portion of Trump's base believes that they are in danger of becoming a minority in "their own" country... Why did you put scare quotes around "their own"? Is it not their own country? Culture changes

Those games were all big fish in their markets, but they weren't the money printing machine WoW was. I don't remember the numbers, but they skewed heavily toward the MMO. That's why every studio came out with its own MMO in

I see a lot of new RTS games produced, but what I don't see is any reason to play them. They're pretty much the same as what we already have with different graphics and different tech trees. Different, but not better, or at leas

So no actual abuses, just some hyperventilating on the left? Presumably Trump could do things like, oh, I don't know, use the IRS as a tool to harass his political opponents.

This article is really, really light on reasons why you wouldn't take Saudi money. Is he really suggesting we reject money from a citizen of any country that's been "criticized for its human rights record"? Would the

To paraphrase Stalin, how many divisions have Facebook and Google?

I don't want it badly enough to cut off my friends and family. But it bothers me. Even if you don't have an account a determined researcher can learn entirely too much about you if the people around you use the service.

I want to keep other people from posting my picture.

Yes, but that's because there are a few people who are extraordinarily wealthy. The median is a better measure of what people make.
