That would be nice but there's a big problem. There's no scientific consensus on what causes obesity and how to avoid it. There's of course an official dietary recommendation but that's not based on science but mostly in politics (probably this itself is the cause of obesity problem). Unfortunately there are even no wide range scientific studies to find about the cause of obesity. All the news on the scientific research you hear about are done with heavy funding from commercial companies like food producers and big pharma. Moreover these are small-funded research with very limited sample size. You can always find several conflicting research for every new one. How could you put a tax over anything in an environment like this?

Submission + - Amazon is now sending postcards to remind Kindle owners to update their devices (the-digital-reader.com) 1

Nate the greatest writes: Amazon's getting serious about a recent required firmware update. Last month Amazon sent out emails, asking everyone to update, and this week they stepped up their game. Several Kindle owners say they've received postcards from Amazon with reminders to update their Kindles. Sure, this is an important update which adds security certificates, but don't you think this is overkill?

Also if we are not supposed to do live updates, why is there such a feature? Is it ok to provide a feature and create security vulnerabilities and then tell 'you shouldn't use it'?

Are they simply telling Drupal is not for us and we should use something else instead?

Because of the disappointment and frustration from v8, I'm seriously planning to move the wordpress.
