@justinskycak There's no way you could afford access to the scientific labs and equipment and research opportunities that use them on your own.

The cost of college is so out of whack that it would actually be cheaper to hire a personal tutor for every hour you’d spend in a college lecture. Seriously, the math works out: Each semester you have, say, 5 classes, each with 3h of lecture per week? 15h/week? For like 16 weeks? So 240h total per semester? So 480h per year? Round up to 500h? You could hire a $50/hr tutor for all that time and it would run you $25k. Or go find a grad student on campus who’s willing to do it for $20 plus a slice of pizza. Now you’re down to $10k. So the sticker price of college tuition at a name-brand private university is $60k for what reason exactly? Really drives the point home that skill acquisition is not the primary value proposition.

What’s a normalized part of society that actually feels like a scam to you?

@Rabadash2 i suspect it’s politics more than history but Huntsville, Alabama is where we put the German rocket scientists after WW2.

Very cool that we created a new branch of the Military, and have now spent nearly a decade moving Space Command headquarters and service members back and forth between Colorado and Alabama, instead of actually focusing on operational readiness.

NEW: Trump is set to announce that he is moving U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama at the White House on Tuesday, @connorobrienNH, @paulmcleary, and me. The news was pre-empted by the Pentagon posting a “U.S. Space Command HQ Announcement” on DVIDS.

@fabucat @MatthewSitman Oh my! I saw him at Merriweather in 1989 for $17.50. He did “Should i stay or should i go” as an encore. Epic.

@MargRev Capital Bikeshare racked up over 725,000 trips in October, its sixth straight record month. That indicates a measure of success.

@HousingSpock True! I’m chief gardener for my local community gardens and 10-20% of gardeners drop out every year. The plots are 10’x20’.

@allafarce In their (partial) defense, payroll systems for unionized employees are harder due to unique clauses that require customizing software. Customizations drive up cost and drive down quality.

From a "how do we govern govt technology better?" perspective, I want to understand a lot more here. - Why were the many standard existing SaaS offerings not considered? - What went wrong in the RFP requirements? - How many bids were there / how were they scored?

🤦‍♀️ "After two years and $34 million trying to make a disastrous payroll system work, San Francisco school officials are giving up and are ready to pay another $5.6 million to start over with another company." It's giving EDD vibes... sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

@MoCoMikeE @beyonddc I figure many older people need to hold on to their largest asset to make it through retirement. We should probably make housing a little less attractive as investment.

@ggwash Amazing stat that 45% of rides are on electric bikes! They are probably no more than 15% of all bikes available. And they cost extra!

@beyonddc This is good information. I did not know even though I’m from here. Metro museum? Cool! And, based on the Metro pop up shop selling out two weeks early, Metro retail would do well.

It would be funny if Virginia gave a bunch of money to sports teams to lure them to Potomac Yards …. and then WMATA shuts down the Potomac Yards metro due to lack of funding.
Greater Greater Washington@ggwash

BREAKFAST LINKS 12/12/2023: WMATA budget shortfall would mean 67 bus routes cut, 2,300 layoffs, 10 shuttered Metro stations. Group of Virginia lawmakers approve plan to lure Capitals, Wizards. Plan announced for Baltimore vacant properties: ggwash.org/view/91910/bre…

@BikeGillian @NPSGWMP Lots of inline skaters today too. Path is too narrow for some of them to stay to the right. I saw a cyclist with a baby trailer have to go in the grass to get by.

it’s sad how many people are trying to dunk on this like “9 minutes is actually good compared to the rest of America” that’s the whole point! 9 minutes is still bad compared to other countries! trains come every 2 minutes in Copenhagen! We need to do better
