About 80% of obese people with sleep apnea would be asymptomatic if they reduced to a non-obese weight. For this subset of people, shouldn't insurers (and often the Public) encourage the patient to use the free, safe, and natural solution (eating less) before being dependent on an expensive machine?

That's what I believe, too. If Yahoo had acquired Netflix, or Facebook, they wouldn't have succeeded either.

A very good point. It was hard to know what Yahoo was (or is). In the beginning, remember, they weren't a search engine. They were a curated directory of the Internet. In fact, it was hard for me to realize when they dumped that entirely and switched to a real search engine--despite the fact that I was in this business: I worked for Infoseek!

Wow! The Mohel and Rabbi who performed Honest Ed's bris was Al Jolson's father: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Mirvish

Those "Honest Ed" signs are beautiful, and remind me of the hand-painted signs I'd still see in Brooklyn in the late 60s and early 70s (probably nearing the end of the era for hand-painted signs)

I liked google wave and I think it was a good example of a product that was ahead of its time.

Orkut’s story had a strange footnote. It was dominated by Brazilian Portuguese speakers, making other users feel less welcome. That was a tough problem.

The best of intentions? To erase their culture and replace it with Chr-stianity? I don't see that as well intentioned.

This is not xenophobia. It's self defense against idolatry and false gods.

Well, of course. It’s only fair. You can’t change a rule then go back and hold prior behaviors accountable according to the new rule. It’s just common decency.

Yes, but being open Saturday, he won't have Jewish customers, who are in the prime demographic group for bagels.

He should close Saturday, and get a hechsher. He’d get more business and some rest.

"Nerd-minstrelsy" is a better term

Shouldn't all the True Believers be mortgaging and leveraging everything and going all in?

Actually, you can! There was a presentation at DEFCON this year (DEFCON 26) showing exactly this:

> "See for yourself first-hand as we give a live demonstration of the first ever full fax exploitation, leading to complete control over the entire device as well as the network, using nothing but a standard telephone line. "

Maybe it's time for you to find another tax preparer. Mine accepts encrypted documents with her public key.

It looks nice, and it may be a replacement for ChromeOS or some other limited system, but it's not a replacement for Windows and MacOS.

Go ahead and contest it then.

Compare that to SF's roughly equivalent payment per homeless person

And it was being used as "evidence" by the side with the much shakier stories.
