No expertise here, but hopefully they aren't planning to do anything major with the stores. Unless I've seen a really skewed sample, the thing is that Whole Foods stores are not that large. There just isn't room to add anyt

A related thing that is often ignored is that nicotine is a stimulant and makes it easier to put your body through physical abuse that it otherwise wouldn't take. Some health conditions are improved by nicotine but I suspect in many c

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet is that I wonder if Amazon intends to sell on their regular online store some of the non-perishable items that Whole Foods sells. Currently, Amazon is not usually competitive vs. VitaCost, L

Do you have a more detailed desription about how this method works? Your links do not describe it in much detail but it is interesting. Even without the details my sense is that this method suffers from some very serious problems. Picking

A lot of history involved Mackinac. See some of the First Nations Histories at: http://www.tolatsga.org/Compacts.html Especially Ojibwe, Ottawa, and Huron. They are not short but quite good.

IMO, sites should generate a >20 character random base64 password as a form prefill on the registration form, which hopefully would cause browsers to remember it (don't actually let the user change this). Provide "show passwor

I think this desire to feel like you are living a morally perfect life is strong in most people but incompatible with an honest observation of the world from just about any ethical standpoint. There are an endless number of Very Bad Things

I did notice it is an old article, however the citation is not correct and defending it makes me think you could still use some work in that area. The paragraph with the citation discusses the relative importance of dopamine to the frontal

I've long had a question that might be a variation of the third concern listed: couldn't diagonalisation just show that considering all real numbers to be an infinite sequence of digits is a flawed representation? Not necessarily

Also, on every laptop-like device I've used, there are four things that ever break (well not counting cosmetic damage and five if you count hard drives; I've been lucky with memory). Two of these are display hinges and the displa
