The nation's largest school system, New York City, is among those that have abandoned strict bans, which had some students paying $1 a day to store phones in specialty trucks parked nearby before heading into school. Mayor Bill de Blasio fulfilled a campaign pledge when he lifted the ban in 2015, saying it would help parents stay in touch with their children.
Phones have offered a lifeline between students and the outside world during recent school emergencies. As a gunman rampaged through Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14, students used cellphones to text their parents, call 911 and to record and share their horror.
Interesting statement. Perhaps examining which entities or persons benefited from receipt of 10x market value of their land would provide insight into why the plan was approved in the first place? Is it possible that political corruption had something to do with the deal?
(Just wondering. I don't have any special knowledge of the situation.)
Curiously though this blackout applies even to apps that clearly have reason to view the incoming or outgoing phone number (not the call log but the CallID), e.g., call recorders:
Hulu is $0.99 for you only because you got in on their "Limited Commercial Plan" promo for 12 months. When the 12 months ends the price goes to $7.99/month. And that includes commercials. Lots of commercials. I'd hate to see what the "Unlimited Commercial Plan" would look like.
1550 nm systems use a wavelength that is allowed to run more power compared to 905 nm. However, under certain conditions, the 1550 nm wavelength of light can still cause corneal damage and potential damage to the eye lens.
Hey Sheeple! Wake up! I still use a pair of clam shells to pull out my beard hairs and the shells just keep going like forever. Works on nose hairs also if you can get the shells into your nostrils.
It also can be easily viewed in a darkened room and when using the "search" function you can type on the phone instead of using the cursor keys to one-by-one move to the next letter. It's much better than the dedicated remote.
Our President heard that cheese is essential for Poutine. And if his BFF Poutine wants cheese, well dammit, Poutine shall have cheese. Billions and billions of pounds of cheese. For Poutine.
"This train is being held by Supervision due to train traffic up ahead."
And there's a drawbridge along the subway (actually elevated in that section) line I use that occasionally causes trains to wait for a ship to pass or for the bridge to become "unstuck" after being raised.
But returning to the woes of those who travel by car - not only fancy limos, but ambulances and fire trucks are often stuck in traffic thanks to the city's refusal to dedicate a lane to emergency vehicles exclusively and at all times. How many lives and how much property is lost as a result?
In the limit as the number of heads (passengers) approaches a large number, the transport becomes public transit.
So perhaps you meant to suggest a reverse head tax: highest for a single occupant of a motor vehicle and decreasing as the number of occupants increases. Sort of like HOV lanes.
Interesting although I don't know that your belief in MTA being a "patronage engine" is correct; I think it may simply be that the current status is a historical artifact.
But your proposal to eliminate fares would definitely speed up bus transit. Currently buses stall at the stops for as much as several minutes while passengers dutifully single-file through the narrow entry door and pause to feed their metrocard or their coins (yes, some still pay with coins) into the fare box.
"Select" (yes, they call them that officially) buses use ticket vending machines at the bus stops and require passengers to use them to prepay the fare; this permits entry via both the front and rear doors. But it's a terrible solution. Imagine getting to the bus stop just as the bus arrives and frantically trying to buy your ticket in time to board before the bus leaves. Then imagine that several other people are in the same situation right alongside you.
Sure. Fewer riders -> poorer service -> fewer riders -> (until the total collapse of public transit).
Did you even consider that there are now fewer riders because of poorer service? Subway lines regularly go out of service lately so that maintenance crews can try to catch up to the work that's been delayed for decades. Half-hour commutes can turn into one or two hour commutes when that happens.
The correct answer is to improve service and regain the business of the commuters who have basically given up trying to deal with the current poor service. And yes, that will take an infusion of tax dollars to accomplish.
Given the relative spaciousness of the motor vehicle roadways and the shrinking (or in many cases absent) pedestrian walkways, I'd say that your comparison is rather lopsided.
But consistent with automobile lobbyists it avoids noting that even the driver of a motor vehicle must become a pedestrian at minimum when approaching or exiting the vehicle.

Thank you. I came here to post exactly that. "Columbia University" != "University of Columbia".
Thank you! Excellent and witty tutorial on toxoplasmosis (and how you don't need to get rid of your beloved cat to stay healthy).

I disagree. Even rich kids learn to use an umbrella and to deal respectfully and honorably with others.
That DJT didn't learn that is an important distinction.

Owners of private motor vehicles pay minimal registration and use fees and get unlimited use of the roads and free on-street parking.
I don't think that qualifies as motor vehicle use "paying for itself", do you?
Amazon sells lots of things billed as "refurbished" and most of them are not refurbished by the manufacturer.
This case deals with their refusing to sell non-Apple-authorized refurbished Apple products, and only that.
