The reality is TEPCO doesn't want the radiation monitored. For the same reasons the beef industry doesn't want cows tested for Mad Cow. The absence of testing allows for plausible deniability.
I realize the negative publicity they received from his Trip Advisor review has hurt their business but by filing the lawsuit they're guaranteeing that every person who hasn't read the review will now become aware of their bed bug problem. And with the hotel not denying there were bedbugs the lawsuit is a horrible idea.
There is $1B+/year in HFT profits that indicate otherwise. It's not just that they trade first but that much of their trading is risk-free by getting in the middle of other slower orders on both sides of the market.
In case you didn't know Goldman is never supposed to lose money on a trade, which is why they can report 100+ days of consecutive trading profits, which is a mathematical impossibility in a non-rigged market.
Texting while driving is deadly and likely not going to be helped much by recent states' laws that outlaw non-handsfree use of phones while driving. I wonder if there is a movement to force cellphone makers to disable texting when car-speed motions are detected...similar to how in-dash DVD players are disabled via the parking brake sensor.
There are a fixed number of desirable universities in this country. Increasing the supply of money for a limited supply of goods is called demand-push inflation and explains why education costs have been able to rise at multiples of the prevailing inflation rate of the economy. It's the same reason housing prices were able to rise at multiples of the inflation rate during the housing boom.
If I'm too dumb to imagine how stupid I am then that means I lack the cognition to feel bad about it. The alternative state of mind demonstrated in your post seems like a less desirable outcome. I think I'll stick with my strategy.
How is riding a private bus not living in the real world? The same could be said for those of us who drive our cars to work vs. those who can't afford the privilege and rely on public transportation instead. And the same could be said for those who can't even afford public transportation and have to ride their bike instead.
As for your example of wars, I don't see the connection.
These companies are operating in a free market economy and are paying for these perks themselves. Anyone with the talent and IQ is free to join these organizations and enjoy the benefits outlined in the article. Compare that to the corrupt distribution of wealth and benefits offered by Government, such as unaffordable pensions "collectively" negotiated in backrooms between unions and politicians, where the winners are selected based on established power and influence rather than merit and achievement, and where the rest of society has to pay for this corruption via taxes and/or reduced services. These tech companies are subverting their corrupt Government and creating an economic sovereignty. More power to them.
And you'll find another million unsold Surface tablets stacked below. Ballmer is the Larry Summers of the business world - a genius in his own mind but never right about anything.
I feel a puzzling sense of loss without him walking the planet and coming up with new and better ideas. The tech industry is staid and boring without him.
Most users of Firefox probably never notice or remember Mozilla in the name. Ironic considering how advertisers are supposed to be so savvy at targeting consumers.
There may be value in Blackberry's patents and cash on hand but otherwise the company isn't worth very much. And competitors don't buy dying companies - they just let them die and then buy whatever pieces they want in the resulting fire sale.

That measures how well politicians uphold the amendments of the constitution, where low-rated politicians are automatically recalled from office.
And a hurricane has more personality than him.

It would have the same beneficial effects of SR9009 plus the laundry would always be done.
TEPCO has had a troubled relationship with the truth.
iOS apps are disposable like travel-sized portions of toothpaste.

Unless the green robot has a new age weapon I suspect the faction with the guns is going to win over the interests of the technology industry.
Don't mess with tradition.
It must be mighty toasty at the Redmond campus.
