I agree with all of the issues on how food today is less nutritious, actually harmful, compared to a century ago. I think in addition to sugar all the chemicals in processed as well as factory farmed food contributes to ill health and people's increased weight. However, I do not agree with John Mackey that we do not need health care if we eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle (which should include exercise). People have always needed health care. Two of our grandmother's siblings died in the early 1900's, they were young in their 20's, thin, active, lived on a farm, but got tuberculosis and died. Remember tuberculosis, many people died from it before medical science developed a vaccine to prevent it and treatments to cure it. Remember polio, I got my vaccines for polio in school in the 50's. Many people died or were disabled from polio before that. Doctors in the 70's were concerned about the rise of heart disease, but rise means it did exist already and did need medical treatment as long as people have existed. Leonardo da Vinci first described coronary artery disease when he dissected the heart of a 100-year-old man. Most likely the man lived a fairly healthy life to have lived to 100 back in the 15th and 16th century. We had a great uncle who died of heart failure in his early 50's back in the early 1900's, he was thin, lived and worked on a farm, so physically active with fresh nutritious food, but he was born with a heart defect. Then there were always many mothers or babies who died in childbirth, which has its own potential risks to life, and medical science again has reduced these deaths. In a way antibiotics have caused the increase in heart disease and cancer. Before antibiotics most people died of some sort of infection and died at a younger age as a result. Infections are easy to get especially working on farms which most people also did. If you visit an old cemetery you will see lots of headstones for babies, young children, middle-aged people, you won't find many headstones for people over 65. The longer a person lives the more likely they are to get heart disease or cancer. I do think that Whole Foods sells healthier foods than most stores, but John Mackey is advertising that buying food at his store will prevent you from needing health care, that is not true.

Apple could quietly start manufacturing in the countries that Trump manufactures his products in, which he is not imposing tariffs on. Of course moving manufacturing could also be expensive.

Your item 1 fits my first thought, i.e. in the over 50 years that I have been driving this dilemma has never happened. Every near accident (which I always successfully avoided) involved my car, with me as sole occupant and another vehicle also with the driver as the sole occupant. Except once, a lady cut into my lane when only the front of her car was past the front of my car by about half the length of her car, had to brake hard to drop far enough behind her car that she did not hit me when she entered my lane. She had two children in the car, who I could see because they were standing in the back seat running back and forth across the seat.

Where did you go to school? I am self taught, because the schools did not have computer science in the 60's where I went to school (I majored in math). Actually, I should not say self taught, as soon as I saw Fortran, I understood and wrote it, to solve differential equations, which is what Fortran does easily. But was not sure I wanted to be a programmer because I did not know what they did and was afraid that mean that I would be keypunching, which isa terrible way to enter code. After staying home with babies until they were in preschool, I started working part time in accounting. Fortunately for me they got a computer after a year or two and I was the only one who knew anything about computers so I became the computer person. This computer had a normal keyboard, programs and data were stored on tape, no big box of cards which was disaster if they were dropped so they were out of order or in some way damaged (no stapling, folding, etc.) and I could correct typos without starting all over. This computer had assembly code, I saw the code, understood and wrote it and the programs worked perfect, so then I applied for a full time assembly language programming job and continued coding ever after. Several different assembly languages, Pascal, C, C++, various Unix shell scripting languages such as Bourne C shell. I bought a little Attari home computer, 64 K, in the early 80's that my children learned on. (Re-posted with my login.)

This does not just apply to private schools versus public. Students in public schools in affluent areas score much higher on tests than in public schools in poor neighborhoods, at least in California. This is because public schools get money based on the taxes paid in the area of the school, also parents with higher income can spend more time with their children. Way back in the late 50's when I first moved to California the first school I went to was in the Watts District a very poor area. Back then all the schools before and after Watts provided each student with text books, paper and pencils and tests that were printed at the school. Not Watts, no books, no pencils, no paper. The teacher lectured and had a chalk board and chalk. One day a week we got one piece of paper and a pencil to practice writing, but mostly the teachers physically sat on the children to keep them under control and there was very little learning. All other schools had regular reading assignments from the text books and home work, not the school in Watts.

I think 3) is problems with all levels of code from UI down to OS, UI should not give the 'P'roceed option, and the lower levels should not accept the proceed. Many years ago, around mid 80's I was modifying network security code to use a new disk drive that was being installed in the network computers, everything worked well until I wanted to test error return, the only way I could, was to power off the disk drive, the firmware for the disk drive reported that it successfully had written and read the drive, which of course it did not. I went to the person who wrote the firmware and told him, he said that it was a successful command because the command had been delivered to the gate. I told him users do not care if the command was delivered to the gate, they want to know if the data was written to the disk and if it was read, which he argued about but finally corrected his code to report errors on reading and writing. He did not fully follow the design in that the codes were supposed to be the same numbers as the previous disk drives, so existing code would report errors the same as previously, he condensed the error codes some, but at least it reported errors.

You seem to misunderstand Galag88, he is not running Windows 7, he is running Windows 8, which was upgraded to 8 from previously 7 on his system. I have two separate computers one with Windows 7 and the other bought new two years ago with Windows 8, the 7 computer is slow, slow and slower, the 8 computer is still running very fast. So it does look like Windows 8 did get rid of the problem that existed in previous versions. If version 10 has the same OS ability that 8 has, then 10 should work that well also.

Agree with Ms. Public, a server is a very different environment than a desktop, app, environment, saloomy is comparing two totally different worlds. The MS OS has always been a bad design for desktop environment. But I have used Windows 8 now for two years and it has not slowed down and I have not done any clean up other than malware removal occasionally so perhaps MS did get the OS problem corrected with Windows 8.

This is true, basically the poor cannot afford food that is actually good nutritionally, the condition of obesity is actually a symptom of lack of good nutrition, which is the fault of the food industry driven by a society that is more interested in making more money than in what is beneficial to people. And I do not think taking pills for this will improve anyone's health, it may disguise the symptoms of lack of nourishment by reducing a personâ(TM)s weight, but probably will not last. And the loss of weight by taking pills does not necessarily mean the person is healthier. There have been diet pills that were effective in reducing weight that were linked to heart attacks. The best remedy is good nutritious natural food for everyone.

Definitely, I have seen gasoline engine cars catch on fire for no apparent reason, they also sometimes have electrical fires. More importantly gasoline engine cars do not give you a warning with enough time to park safely and get out before the fire becomes apparent as the Tesla does. If I ever am in a car that catches fire I would very much prefer that it happen in a Tesla.
