Some schools have affiliated branch campuses that only offer two year degrees. Low achieving students from the main campus are "encouraged" to transfer away from the main campus, then they back fill with the top students from the branches; that magically makes the graduation rate go up.
James Bloodworth, a former UK Amazon employee that worked undercover in the "fulfillment center" for six-months, released a book detailing the mistreatment of warehouse employees at the commerce company.
He was undercover for what reason? It sounds like he went looking for some anecdotes to put in the book he was writing.
More financial than political. In both cases the utility is short of money because they must provide service even if the customer doesn't pay the bill.
PREPA - Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority is a public corporation, not private. One of the benefits of socialized utilities is that they can spend other people's money forever.
This isn't about selling to consumers like Walmart does. Amazon couldn't compete with the companies that have been selling in bulk to hospitals for many, many years.
Peoples' health is suffering because business is basically transferring their costs onto the people...he people are burden with the poor health and in the US the outrageous medical bills.
Almost all of the US has clean air, except for the biggest cities. And the pollution there is primarily car exhaust, not businesses.
The biggest things people can do to reduce the cost of healthcare is to quit smoking, lose weight, and exercise.
Meanwhile, even with the delays, Tesla made their first 10000 Model 3s in less time than it took GM to make their first 1000 Bolts, from the start of tooling
Maybe that's because GM knows how to bring a car into production.
In 2017 GM made over 22,000 Bolts, meanwhile Tesla has only made a total of just over 17,000 Model 3's to date. GM is crushing Tesla.
the shutdown is intended to resolve some of the problems that have contributed to the numerous delays
Translation: They put everything they had into the last couple of weeks in the first quarter to make the numbers look less bad. Now they're out of parts.
The proposed wind power techniques for large vessels is to fly (very) large kites/parachutes at a significant altitude.
Whoever is proposing that has no engineering background. A big ship requires over 100,000 hp to move it through the water; a kite on a cable isn't going to do it.
Despite having completed trouble-free crossings of the North Sea and Atlantic the power consumed by spinning 15m tall drums was vastly disproportionate to the propulsive effect when compared with conventional screws (propellers).
They don't complement conventional engines at all, they consume a lot of energy to provide a small amount of forward force.

Ever heard of Exxon Valdez?
Exxon Valdez was human error, an autopilot wouldn't have hit that rock.
he article mentions that an auto-pilot may be able to drive the ship more efficiently
Almost all ships are already controlled by an autopilot. Heck, even most small pleasure craft have gps based autopilots today.
If companies are making it but noone is buying it, shouldn't that lead to it being cheap to purchase?
Nobody will make it in quantity if the price is below the cost of production (unless the manufacturer is Elon Musk).
Why is JavaScript called "JavaScript" in the first place?
Marketing hype left over from when Sun was pushing Java as the solution to everything.
There's also #3 - cook the books.

political reasons for both

But the microgrids will still be interconnected, so you still have a grid.
Apparently msmash was cc'd, so probably.

The TV is not the product; you are the product. The "smart" features are there to ensure you see all the advertisements.
when dickheads like you act like the mature adults you're supposed to be
Wow, really mature comment there. How about taking your own advice.
Was the pilot a woman? It isn't clear from your summary. Maybe you should have pointed it out a few more times to make sure nobody missed it.

Hospitals buy their drugs from Group Purchasing Organizations. GPOs are a very efficient way to get medications and supplies (as Amazon just learned).

That's what the Germans said about their Enigma machine. Japanese thought their code was pretty good too.
You can't compare the two. Roads are paid for with liquid fuel taxes. Rail requires some other source of tax dollars.

Neutrality was never in effect.
And it should be regulated by law, not at the whim of a president. Which is why it's playing out the way it is.
