At least here the city determines the budget of the public transport organization. Right now the city insists that fares must make up 55% of the income and the city* will provide the rest. There is a bit of income from the selling of advertisements on the side of buses and ads inside. There are a number of expenses including the collection of fares. If the city decides to completely fund public transit at the current rate and remove fares then the cost of fare collection goes away and that money can go to extra service.
* While the city is the entity that signs the cheques for public transit it gets funding from the provincial and the federal levels of government to run the system. Of course it's all from the one taxpayer. It's just how far out the costs are spread.
Both sides are playing the game. Not just with NN but with almost all of the important issues. Instead of tackling them they play politics and power games. NN is unresolved. DACA is unresolved. It seems like there's a chance of a government shutdown almost every year because they put in a stop-gap measure instead of finding a longer term solution. Republicans are doing everything they can to make the vote turn in their favour. And so on.
The current system is broken and tossing out one half of the players but keeping the other half and the same rules isn't going to fix anything. Right now you need a new model of government that isn't driven by the lobbyists and the money. It has to put in better checks and balances so that the politicians can do what they're doing now.
A great first start is to create independent panels that set the voting boundaries like we have in Canada. There are specific rules that they have to follow when creating a boundary and the politicians can't move it in order to game the system. The only purpose in creating the districts is to try and equalize the populations in them.
Come on, they've been busy killing all of the old extensions, useful parts of the browser, changing the UI to something that nobody wants, and adding in useless features that would be better as extensions. Who has time to fix security bugs? There are only so many hours in a decade or so!
We can't let her go. Our extradition laws are terrible. On of our citizens was sent to France on bad evidence to sit in a prison cell for three yeas in relation to a bombing.
The headline is misleading because we only made the arrest due to our extradition treaty with the US. Not because we think she did anything wrong. The only reasons we wouldn't send her to the US is if we think she'd face the death penalty or torture. We don't judge on whether or not the case is stupid. China won't be made at us for honouring our treaty commitments. They might complain that no anonymous little tip might have told her to that a family member "needed" her back home before someone came to arrest her.
They aren't saying that. There is a cost associated to sell passes and tickets, to collect them when people ride the transit system, to check that people aren't cheating the system, and to count cash. It's probably on the order of 5% to 10% of operating costs.
I found a PDF that shows for one city in Ontario the PRESTO card (Ontario's version of London's Oyster card to pay public transit in the Toronto and Ottawa regions) takes up to 6% off for processing the transactions and the transit authority is responsible for the hardware. Plus they still have to handle the cash and pay for people where people get passes and check for people who don't pay the fare. Plus they don't need to pay rent on where you buy passes. In Ottawa there are a couple of places in shopping malls which most cost a fair bit of money.
Eliminating fares could allow the transit authority to add more active buses or do other improvements.
Amazon makes a lot more money on the retail side than from just selling stuff. They make a lot of money when they sell stuff for other people. I looked into how it works in Canada but it's probably similar for other countries.
When someone buys an item from a third party seller but it's fulfilled by Amazon then Amazon gets a cut of the transaction and charges the seller for shipping (even if the customer pays too). While the seller has stock in the warehouse Amazon is charging the seller rent (I forget the exact details but it's based on space or volume per month so if your items are very small it won't cost very much). But at least for these sellers the shipping to Amazon's warehouse is free.
When a person buys from a third party seller and is shipped by them I believe that Amazon only takes a cut of the sale. But then the seller needs to handle all of the packaging and shipping along with managing the stock.
But you are right about their experiments. AWS funds much of them and if Amazon spun off AWS a lot of the experiments would be cut back. Plus Amazon would have to pay AWS for their services. Right now that's just an internal cost but by spinning it off it would be an external cost and be subject to taxes.
The technology wasn't stolen. The supplier leaked the blueprints. It's not as if someone hacked into their systems and took it or it was a phishing scheme. No, Samsung set up a company and a bunch of people from there sold it to some Chinese companies. Maybe Samsung should implement better hiring practices or pay better.
We aren't building wind mills today. Wind mills are used to grind small things into a powder, known as milling. We're putting up wind turbines which generate electricity. The technology in those ranges from thousands of years ago to today as the turbine itself and the blades are always being updated.
Plus a tunnel is pretty useless if it doesn't have entrances and exits. At some point the vehicles at the surface level are going to go down and come back up from the tunnel. Where you put those points there can be what most people think of as environmental damage.
There's also underground rivers. In many cities smaller rivers were just covered and life went on.
And because everyone is spread out public transit sucks and is expensive. The problem is that the developers have bought up land just outside of the current building boundaries speculating for the next round of expansion. If the city doesn't expand the developers go to the province, OMB, and will get them to expand the boundary. Or course most of the counsellors took money from the developers during the election campaign so they will be friendly to the developers.
There was a rumour that at one of the transit stations in Barrhaven there was going to be an apartment tower go up right near the station. It was a great choice because there was nothing there and no homes nearby. Instead homes and condos like I mentioned above went in. Now you won't get a tower in there for a century at least. Barrhaven doesn't have any towers for apartments or condos. Just sprawling houses.
The new condos being built have horribly inefficient air conditioning being installed on them. There are lots of things that could be done in this city to make it much better for the environment but all the mayor cares about is his train set. His obsession is going to bankrupt the city.
By 2025 and they've rolled out 5G to 40% of the population they'll have just finished the spec for 7G and 6G will have been rolling out for a couple of years already.
They've come out already and told the Canadian governments and union that the plant in Canada that is mentioned in this story will be closing down next year no matter what.

And how can a gas planet evaporate? Or more specifically Hydrogen gas evaporate? The atmosphere, which is made up of the gas, is escaping.

Why would it be a tax increase? It will probably be paid back through the monthly fee people pay for the service.

The real reason it wasn't included is that they couldn't make enough money from it yet, either from bribes or TV rights.

They just hit an unhandled exception.

Or maybe Facebook just contributes enough to Glassdoor.

Seems like a long way to go just to grow some pot. Should just come over to Canada where it's legal now.
Management doesn't care. THEY don't use the scanner.
The R&D costs were $130M and not in the billions (that was billions of won).

Though the union thinks it's going to stop the closure.
