I know there are considerations like property upkeep, and administration, but holy moly, why not just bus them to a nearby community college at that rate?
I'm not sure where you live, but your numbers seem to be wildly off.

than spending weeks interviewing "good" candidates for an opening, selecting a couple and hiring them as contractors, then finding out they are less than unqualified to do the job they were hired for.
I've seen it a few times, Java "experts", Microsoft "experts" with years of experience on their resumes, but completely useless in coding, deployment or anything other than buying stuff from the break room vending machines.
That being said, I've also seen projects costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, with years of delays from companies like Oracle, Sun, SAP, and many other "vendors"
"Meanwhile, the Guardian reports an alternate perspective from 86-year-old social scientist Mayer Hillman: "We're doomed." He's predicting the end of most life on the planet, citing the lack of any way to reverse the process that's already melting the polar ice caps.
From that article:
Although Hillman has not flown for more than 20 years as part of a personal commitment to reducing carbon emissions, he is now scornful of individual action which he describes as “as good as futile”. By the same logic, says Hillman, national action is also irrelevant “because Britain’s contribution is minute. Even if the government were to go to zero carbon it would make almost no difference.”
Instead, says Hillman, the world’s population must globally move to zero emissions across agriculture, air travel, shipping, heating homes – every aspect of our economy – and reduce our human population too. Can it be done without a collapse of civilisation? “I don’t think so,” says Hillman. “Can you see everyone in a democracy volunteering to give up flying? Can you see the majority of the population becoming vegan? Can you see the majority agreeing to restrict the size of their families?”
If you live at or around sea level, it's gonna suck eventually.

DSL performance tech has improved quite a bit. Last year, they started offering 14 Mbps DSL in my area. I was unable to negotiate with Comcast before then. After they came in Comcast was willing to negotiate. I didn't really want DSL but they made for a valid negotiation option. If I could get DSL at 25 Mbps, then they are more of a viable option. I would only need to use them for three months and could then go back to Comcast with a promotional rate (which I'd try to get for 2 years). Telecomm companies really hate losing customers.
I'm probably at least 3 miles from the closest place I could provision any DSL/ADSL services, the only fiber around here is in the corn fields.
Also the phone company cut the two phone lines on my property after I ditched them 20 years ago.
have no choice, cable internet is the only access. Unless you still have a landline and want to suffer with DSL or dial-up, so the cord isn't cut, just the bleeding costs of multiple services from one of the local monopolies.
But a year of (an antenna) netflix, amazon prime, and hulu costs less than a couple months of cable tv.
And for the most part, it's all content. Commercials for the most part don't exist on the streaming solutions...
there was some way that could provide access to all of the 80+ years of television that is already around. Tnere is a lot of "old" television that has no presence on either Netflix or Amazon.
I mean. next they will be going after people accessing broadcast television with an antenna....
I don't run Drupal but in a six hour period Saturday morning even my little website was hit on from 147 different IP addresses, each using 4 or 5 requests in rapid succession. Made my logs hard to read.
If they're hitting the same URL, just make sure the URL refers to a 2TB random file.
Or you could start whitelisting/blacklisting or banning IP's trying to access resources that shouldn't be accessed.
I didn't see how much money WF actually stole from some number of their customers, or a real number of how many were affected.
If it's 600,000, that's less than a fine of $2 a customer. Later in the summary, it mentions millions of customers.
I wish I had enough money to rob people of god knows how much money, and pay what is probably a VERY small fraction as a fine, with no charges. It seems like a very viable business strategy.
I tried Palantir once - but all I saw were a pair of old hands, withering in flame.
I'm pretty sure at one point I used something called Palantir which was an apache webcam app for linux which I used to monitor and switch between my home cameras remotely.

I guess you'd be labeled a terrorist threat if you started posting incorrect information.

Posting fake updates on facebook/linkedin with new jobs, or actually accepting friend requests from the bots. Posting on instagram rumors and liking some of the crazier people.

I'm pretty sure more fatal flaws will be discovered and targeted quickly. /s

The average is close to $11k, with the highest state at $21k.
I didn't finish my minor in math, but 957 Million and 27K students is pretty much larger than 11K per student...
I mean, after all, they have a 51% graduation rate.
Someone has got be getting rich from this...

Give up already. Java will soon be as ubiquitous as Flash...

I wonder how a car computer would deal with it?
and use cookies to tell if you've been there before and raise the prices?
No, it's an example of why this country damn near elected Hillary.
"Nearly?" You know the choice of "Tiny Hands" vs "Humma Hummer" is particularly close to many ?
I can't even how much imagine late night television monologs would wander///

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to run NASA, but really?
Couldn't they find ANYONE else to run it?

is the CPU manufacturers who won't provide updates/patches for "OLD" CPUs that are vulnerable to attacks.
That being said, I have a couple older linux boxes with NVidia drivers I WAS using as video/Kodi players that are just as bad....
how to embezzle, make predatory mortgage loans, and to utilize the stock market to make high frequency trades to conceal their loses,
Maybe evicting some single mothers and shutting down some orphanages would also be in order. /s?
that close all their stores as a "cost savings"
Of course, there is no income with no brick and mortar stores in a brick and mortar chain;;;
This is what happens when Syria and Iran buy all the "surplus" uranium and plutonium and you've run out because of all the tests you've done.
Now time to milk your "generosity" and "peaceful intentions" so you can feed your country.

It's always best to let other people be the guinea pigs/beta testers.
Unless it fixes something that is broken that matter to you.
