I have lived in Japan for 16 years and it was TEPCO. They were told long before that the plant needed higher dikes to protect it and they ignored the warning. The most galling part is that the plant was operating on a special extension - it should have been decommissioned in January of that year.
You canâ(TM)t apply the tired,old âoejust pay market rates!â argument to an inflexible need with no competition. You have realize that New Yorkâ(TM)s economy as a whole depends on the service functioning properly. It would be better to subsidize it with taxes rather than give all that money to Bezos.
When Adobeâ(TM)s businesses decisions force users to invest thousands of dollars in hardware upgrades, I think theyâ(TM)ll worry. If your two-versions-old, essentially free OS upgrade is still based on personal preferences, you probably donâ(TM)t use CC professionally and therefore donâ(TM)t factor into Adobeâ(TM)s future plans.
Hillary legitimately lost (worst candidate ever), but Trump did not legitimately win (electoral college).
The DNC was broke both because of Obama letting it languish and because Hillary Clinton made them sign a contract funneling all subsequent donations into her election.
Youâ(TM)re right that she lacked a platform, and that hurt her. The corporate Democrats havenâ(TM)t learned yet, but come November, Progressives are going to have a caucus in Congress and the left will have a voice in government again.
Wikileaks showed a political bias in the election that should trouble you. It shows that they got played as well.
Ajit Pai works for a Republican government, so of course he uses the power of big government to control the market.
Here in Japan, you canâ(TM)t get less than 40GB up and down for $30 a month (on wireless). Pay $20 more and you get 70GB-plus. In the home, itâ(TM)s 150GB for wired at around $40-$60. Currently weâ(TM)re part of a co-op, so we pay $12 a month for that speed.
We already fund up to 80% of pharmaceutical R&D through our taxes. You forget that the pharmaceutical lobby is the most powerful one in Washington. It's a rigged system and we pay the price. Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.
I live in Japan, where the government is allowed to negotiate prices and can declare certain things (such as MRIs) benefits to the common good and therefore mandate that they be made cheaply available. Finally, drug patents only last for three years. One of the reasons the TPP would be bad news for the other countries: the US wants everyone to extend the patents to 12.
You're assuming that they're the original company that did the R&D and that they didn't subsidize it with public funding (which can cover 80% of those costs). They may have just as likely bought out another company that did the actual work and are now cashing in on the results. It's the far more common way these things are done.
Actually, what they're doing is the definition of liberal progressivism, also known as "regressive liberalism". I had to look it up because I wanted to know why I, a traditional liberal (free as in speech), was getting lumped in with all the "check your privilege" types. And while I agree that it appears anti-democratic for one company to severe ties with another due to ideological differences, both parties are exercising their freedom of choice. Believe it or not, it's actually logically consistent. It's just one more casualty of this toxic election.
Imposing taxes would be illegal, but cutting state welfare would not. The government did the same thing to bring all the state drinking ages into line, too. "You can set your age to whatever you want, but you'll have to forgo this huge blank check for infrastructural improvements."
Youre over-generalizing. Japan has a very diverse climate, from subtropical in the south to New-England like winters in the north. Also, the Japanese Shinkansen stops for typhoons, but not wind or rain. For snow you're talking about delays, not stops. Just as long as it takes to clear thr tracks. There's a difference. And while parts of the Great Plains have extreme weather, they also have excellent weather systems already as a result. I don't think there's real need to blame the weather for not developing to system. And it's not always necessary to go at top speed to be fast enough.

Thank you. It's true, although we don't like to brag.

Golf is about getting your balls into the hole in as few strokes as possible. It's as simple as that.
I'm not a golf guy, but I can appreciate that the original game is fine the way it is. Seriously, 15-inch holes aren't going to magically enable you to get a hole-in-one. The challenge of hitting the traditional hole is something I respect; making it feel like I have training wheels on to pander to me is just going to alienate me further. I think most prefer things tight, not loose. You have to feel like you've succeeded.
I have sustained, symmetrical throughput of 50Mbp/s, no data cap, and pay about $60 per month. Half the population of the US, so it would seem that numbers aren't the problem. Hmm.
You blame him for the health insurance providers taking the opportunity to use him as a whipping boy and take out their aggravation that their golden goose isn't looking too healthy?
In other news, Reagan said that trickle-down economics would work, and George W. showed up on an aircraft carrier claiming victory over a war that wasn't over yet, which we started because of falsified intel. Clinton said he didn't have sex with that woman, either.

Said me about 15 years ago. In other news, Linux is about to take the PC world by storm.
Taking Alex Jones down was his own fault. Inciting violence has long been considered an exception to free speech.
Also, corporations can regulate whatever they want internally. Itâ(TM)s called capitalism. When the government does it, itâ(TM)s unconstitutional.
As in heâ(TM)d like to regulate free speech similar to the way they do in China.

Thatâ(TM)s a right-wind framing to the question. âoeSure, weâ(TM)re all going to die, but itâ(TM)s not our fault!â Still going to die.
Also, carbon emissions are down due to an increase of use of natural gas from fracking, which is also untenable and damages the environment.

I lived on a sailboat for three years with my family. Five people went through 60 gallons a month. It wasnâ(TM)t that bad.

Don't say "imperial Washington". It's factually incorrect and just undermines the legitimacy of your opinions.

How do you propose removing an island, and to where?
"Unlikely" isn't impossible, and you can't prove a negative.

No, their iMessage app will resort to traditional SMS to send the message. No lock-in. This is a non-story, and only serves Samsung for the plug.
Except that he says he developed lung disease even after he quit smoking 30 years ago. RTFA and don't try to be too clever.
