Seems like the total investment in this store/technology is probably in the single digit digit millions (or maybe low double digit).

It was much more than that. They bought Whole Foods which was worth 13 billion.

Also, unless you are training for the Olympics, you do not need to linearly scale your food intake in proportion to your exercise.

Lets assume that you are. Would that mean you will die earlier? Does that mean that the more exercise you do the earlier you die?

The more exercise you do the more you have to eat to maintain your body. If you are following a healthy diet you will need to increase even more your total amount of food due the fact that generally healthy food has less calories. Also, there is nothing more stressful for the body than exercise.

Everyone seems to agree that only the best should be hired. But may I ask isn't that a form of discrimination as well?. Being the best in an intelectual activity such as programming is highly corelated with the level of intelligence of an individual. No matter how hard you try if your IQ is below 80 you will never enter in Google. I even dare to say that even if you are in the normal range of intelligene your chances of entering in Google are still very low. Isn't intelligence a biological attribute in the same way of the color of the skin or a gender?. Who decided its own IQ level before they were born?.
