MBTA subsidy is $2.07 per rider. over the entire system. Most of the students would ride daytime busses, which are subsidized less ($1.43). Using the higher number, the true cost of an adult charlie card is $3.13 ($2.28 for a child). Plenty of room to make that work.
The trick for making public transportation pay for itself is increasing paid ridership. The students would immediately increase ridership about 10% and start them on a life-long path of being customers. So, this even helps out MBTA even if you don't ask the schools to pay above retail price.
You are focusing on a typo, not the intention.
The important part is that security guards would provide much more value than simply to the students who are on the bus for at most 2 hours a day and 180 days a year. For those that first need correct details, replace 330 with 230 (52 weeks * 5 days a week - 10 holidays - 20 vacation days) and it will make more sense.
Their location and identity in the event they are trying to report an incident anonymously.
CrimeStoppers is the venue for that.
E911 is all about rapidly helping people that might not be able to do anything beyond dialing 3 digits. Any recommendation that delays a response will not be received well by those who might eventually get hurt, the emergency responders, or the decision makers.
Think of its use as an on-board generator in an otherwise electric car. This would be the key for owning one car that works both as a daily commuter and for long-distance vacations.
When has an event with 20000 people who specifically require mobile data coverage at the same time ever been done before?
Not so sure about "specifically require mobile data", but Chicago is very experienced at large events, The Chigacgo Ribfest, with 50,000 attendance happens every June, also in Grant Park. The Air and Water show (1,000,000 attendance per day) happens every August, about a mile north. It is pretty common to see multiple Mobile Cell Towers at these and other large events in Chicago. I'm confident that if all the air and water COWs were brought to Grant Park, there would be more than enough coverage.
I'm guessing that the event planner was either new to large events, new to Chicago or didn't discuss the atypical data load with the mobile providers.
Exactly. WTF are American eels? I bet they're the same eels as we have here in the Netherlands.
Our current president is a bit particular about immigration. Foreign eels that have not bee "green tagged" must undergo extreme vetting before they may immigrate to the upstream homeland.
Pretty much anything that depends on others to stay in their lane is doomed to failure.
Investors not considering this will get the results they deserve. Better take the losses now then after a car takes out a "leg".
Ok, but 90+% (98% ?) of people don't need police at all.
Sure, even us 98%ers need them:
They investigate accidents.
They are first responders, providing aid until EMT/Fire arrives.
They console the patient's family and often offer them rides behind the ambulance.
They efficiently manage traffic after heavily attended events, such as fireworks.
They drive through my neighborhood as I sleep making sure everything is "OK".
They help find lost kids.
They hang out at high school sports ensuring that the "2%" do not destroy the game for us 98%ers.
They teach subjects, such as drug and bicycle safety in our schools.
They are members of our communities attending church, buying groceries, being friends, having kids, etc.
Just as good fences make for good neighbors, good police make for great small towns.
I believe that nuclear power is the only logical choice today. When or if wind and solar catch up then we can switch to that.
My believe is that a variety of sources is the only logical choice . If I were running the world's power supply, I would use...
1. Wind whenever available.
2. Solar to reduce daytime peaks.
3. Hydro and Geothermal to reduce nighttime usage.
4. Natural Gas to level out the minute-by minute load.
5. Coal and Nuclear to cover the continuous base load.
Oh, and just to throw a rock, Solar is the ultimate form of Nuclear power:-).
Energy usage is not constant. We use about 50% more power during waking hours, which correlates with the best generating times for renewables. Including about 33% solar and wind in the mix is likely the sweet spot for minimizing daytime the peak problem. The world generates about 14% by renewable today, so we do have quite a way to go before we need to focus on energy storage to minimize a newfound nighttime peak.
Of course, your mileage may vary as Africa, India and Brazil are already at 33%.
I know it's not the prevalent view, but I'd save an adult over a child any day. Children is a renewable resource. We can always produce more. But the amount of effort having gone into creating the adult is far more.
Every single "dad" or "mom" I know would take a bullet for their child. Once you are a parent, you will understand.
Unless your usage patterns are the same as mine (and you live/work in my neighborhoods), my experience really will not help you. Between the provider coverage maps and comparing my usage against their restrictions, my choice was obvious.
I am fortunate that my phone will show me monthly usage (Settings >> Wireless & Networks >> Data Usage) so I can quickly understand which restrictions are irrelevant to me. And, yes, headroom/carryover are parts of that equation.
The original MS blog makes it clear that "Stand alone" versions will still be usable. This did not clearly make it into the "news" articles.
Office 365 ProPlus or Office perpetual in mainstream support
Office 365 ProPlus or Office perpetual in mainstream support required to connect to Office 365 services. Starting October 13, 2020, Office 365 ProPlus or Office perpetual in mainstream support will be required to connect to Office 365 services. Office 365 ProPlus will deliver the best experience, but for customers who aren’t ready to move to the cloud by 2020, we will also support connections from Office perpetual in mainstream support.
The primary impact is to those purchasing MS "Business Essentials" licenses ($5/mo) and using "old" office versions. Effectively, they will be required to purchase office every 5 years (~$400) or upgrade to "Business Premium" ($12/mo).
Detecting ones own errors and humbly correcting them are respectful virtues. Never making mistakes is beyond the capabilities of us mere mortals.
From TFA,
Tumor Biology... open about the past instances of peer review fraud, and... have already introduced new robust peer review practices expected from all SAGE journals.
Good to see the Journal is doing their job. Hopefully they are hardening their proactive procedures to catch these shenanigans before it turns into more bad PR for their own publication.
Simply depending on a MAC address alone would be an amateur move. A talented investigator will not rely on a single fingerprint. Instead, the professional will balance the reliability (e.g. resistance to tampering) and identifiablity of multiple fingerprints. For example, one will search logs for hostnames, UUIDs, usernames, etc. Amongst other things, this is what keeps the professional from getting (too) hung up on concluding that it was the user who's credentials were stolen.
I'm also sure that the fact that Patel did not return the laptop after being reminded also helped focus the investigation.

...two LIDAR pucks ...allowing the to car "see" in 3D in 360 degrees. ... used in autonomous car prototypes, ... "are used to position us in the world."
Think TFA answered it right there. Knowing the precise position of the streetview car helps develop better maps for the Waymo autonomous cars.
Never have understood why the batteries can not be modular, allowing me to add more (at the expense of trunk space, backseat, whatever) as I see fit.

Google's 2-Step Verification should be mandatory for developer accounts. End of discussion.
We would then have zero busses, teachers that are being paid closer to their value, safer public transportation and more full-time employment.
Ignoring something is not the same thing as refusing something. TFA makes it clear that the headline is in error.

It appears that the editor *actually read* the article, causing Reuters to scroll to the next story and change the URL. Will wonders never cease.

Verizon, ATT, Sprint and T-Mobile still offer them. Typical cost is $0.99 per month for the service plus $1.99 per year for each ringback tone.
You may have just convinced me to purchase a ringback tone for my phone.

hot tub ... After a breaker tripped during an electrical storm this past winter, I discovered it a day and a half later...
Stick one of these alarms in your hot tub's equipment bay and you won't need to "discover it" a day later.
