How do antidepressants create matter from thin air?

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.
