The point is to engage in arbitrage between the exchanges in NY/NJ and Chicago. Those servers are usually placed right between the two exchanges in order to minimize latency.
Keep in mind that many of those papers are local, so people interested in local news won't be able to get the information online for free anymore, so that should at least motivate more people to get a paper subscription, if not a digital one.
If you want real content, subscribe to the New Yorker. You can also read a fair bit of their content online for free, but they're one of the few publications left that still do real investigative journalism. I spend about 2 hours a week reading each week's issue, so I think I get great value for $90 per year.
Try Wind Mobile. They don't cover everywhere, but for $40 per month I get unlimited talk, text and data. Of course, that price won't last forever, as they're just trying to build a customer base, but you can get it without a contract, so you might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
Sounds like you don't realize plenty of jobs require advanced math and pay far better than engineering. I'm an actuary, living in Bermuda. Last year I made over $600 000, and I expect to get a nice raise this year. I also don't do overtime. For what it's worth, I think my job is valuable. I simply do life insurance.
Keep in mind that in GW2 you can buy gold directly from NCSoft, as well as some exclusive items. I'd wager the average regular player may end up spending more per month than the average cost of a subscription, as there's plenty of people that have spent hundreds of dollars on gold and items already.
Why do so many people assume that the US is currently on the right side of the Laffer curve? The last 10 years show that the tax cuts failed to raise revenue, so clearly the US is to the left.
I strongly disagree with the idea that parents should be allowed to choose to do something that will endanger their children like your hypothetical situation. In fact, I think that if a parent refuses to allow proven preventive treatments be done to their children, the kids should be taken away by Child Services, as the parents are clearly guilty of child endangerment.
Keep in mind that the reasons politicians bend over for corporate money is because that money gets them votes through advertising. However, if they think something else will get them votes, like this anti-vaccine nonsense, they'll do that. I'm sure the pharmaceutical companies aren't very happy about this.
The point is that if they can hijack drones, the technology can probably scale up very easily to take out all US drones, or at least all of those that are of a certain make. If they're just doing it by jamming GPS and sending fake routing signals, that could be done to the US's entire fleet in a war.
Keep in mind that being in an embassy is the not same as being in a jail. He can talk to people, probably has access to phones and the internet, and can probably also have guests come over for a chat. It can't be easy, sure, but it also probably isn't all that bad. While in University, during first year, I didn't go to class and instead studied from the textbooks from home. I only left the house to buy groceries or to go to the bank, and I did fine like that for about a year and a half (after that, I noticed that I was missing content by skipping lectures, and started attending them, which led to me making friends). Overall, I'd say that 6 months with reliable communication with other people is not too bad.
You are probably trolling, but I'll bite. Being in the military does not mean that one has to follow orders, no matter what. He exposed criminal behavior being carried out at the highest levels, as every decent soldier should.
You also talk a lot about him violating his oath, but the corrupt leaders of a country are not the country. He made an oath to defend the US from all threats, internal and external, and revealing wrongdoing is a way of carrying out that oath.
You don't understand just how small the increases to date have been.
3.2mm * 20 = 6.4 cm
6.4 cm * 5 = 32 cm
So going by the sea's rise in the last 20 years, you can expect in the ballpark of a 32cm increase. By contrast, Hurricane Sandy had a storm surge of 9 feet in New York.
Sounds to me like you haven't found a good bookstore. Very often, I'll drop by my favorite local one, and after chatting a bit about how I liked the last book I read/got there, I'll ask the owner to recommend a book to me. You can't get that with an online store.
You'd be wrong. I am an actuary, and I can say that insurance premiums generally correspond pretty well to the actual risk. That's because the current insurance market is very competitive (note: I am only referring to traditional insurance, such as car, house, life, and whatnot, NOT life insurance). Insurance companies are always trying to see if they can undercut the competition. For the most part, the insurance companies don't make money from your payments, but just on interest accrued from investing those payments.
Your second and third examples seem to me to be things that should be fixed. Unvaccinated children endanger others, as is amply discussed in/. every time a vaccine article pops up. As for the Amish, I think that people have a right to live how they want, but that doesn't mean they should get a free pass from supporting the society that lets them do that.
Hospitals aren't required to store patient information forever. I believe that they can destroy data after 7 years in the UK. So while it may be illegal for the company to charge him so much for the information, when there's a price limit for that sort of thing, he should be glad they kept it at all.
Nothing's stopping people from reading the news online from a trusted source, such as the BBC, rather than watching the trash that passes for news television these days (BBC world service and to a lesser degree CBC excepted, of course). The truth is, the average person is very easy to persuade with ads and misinformation. While good public education can foster critical thinking, at the end of the day people deserve some of the blame if they stay ignorant, when most of them have the means to become informed, through the internet.
Something similar has happened in Canada. Previously, minorities used to vote for the Liberals or the NDP. However, now they are starting to vote Conservative instead. The truth is, most immigrants are actually very conservative, compared to the population of Canada at least, and so as long as the right-wing makes sure to not be racist in any way, they should be able to get the minority and immigrant vote.
The thing is, I don't see why it's a bad thing that fewer Germans have gone to university. In the United States, clearly people are getting degrees just so HR can check off a box when scanning through stacks of resumes. I strongly doubt that Germans have a shortage of engineers, scientists, and whatnot. So why try to maximize the number of people that go to university? It's a poor policy because 4 years of wasted productivity, for the people that are getting a degree they don't need, adds up to massive losses in total production for a country.

Perhaps she only discovered that Dietz wasn't licensed after some/all of the problems she described?

Indeed. Perhaps you should write a modest proposal.

Keep in mind that while some people maintain good balance and don't slur their speech while drunk, their reflex time is (almost always) impaired.

Not to mention leaving the White House just before the bubble burst.
