@APreciousPony @GlenBikes @agdtinman @seattledot @dongho_chang This is a great example for two reasons: 1. It was clearly only tested in a lab by engineers with no context as to where it would be. 2. A simple sketch or cardboard prototype brought to the location would have shown 12-24" towards the curb would have reduced problems. 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL

“Yale’s average faculty salary was $209,500, while the salaries at Harvard, Princeton and Columbia were $227,000, $229,400 and $244,000, respectively.” I sure hope the Yale faculty can still make ends meet. https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2018/03/27/yale-faculty-paid-less-than-peers/ 🔄 0 👍 2 Original URL

This reminds me of the stories of schools in Baltimore with piles of tech kept in storage closets because no one knew how to use them or how to maintain them. (At least I think it does because I don’t read Danish). https://twitter.com/sejer/status/973528218694246401 🔄 0 👍 4 Original URL

@cabitzaf @drfeifei That’s a great argument and I see where you are coming from. One of the most frustrating things about this field is when it is incorrectly applied.

@buddhaumd @iduncan It’s $72 one way from my neighborhood to the national mall via UberX. Back and forth would be ~150. Four kids in the car would $35 each. It was just a thought experiment when I saw $100k for buses. 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL

@iduncan Thanks for that. 3000 kids just sounds like a lot. Based on 2016 census data, 15% of Baltimore’s population is 6-18. Let’s split that for 12-18 so it’s ~43k kids. We’re going to send 7% of that group? Sounds like a lot. Also, 60 buses @ 100k would be ~$1667 per bus. 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL

@iduncan Based on my calc, an Uber would be ~$35 per kid round trip (4 to a car). 100k covets more than 2500 kids going. If we’re taking 2500 kids, that’s ~50 school buses. Are buses $2000 each!? Do we plan on sending more than 2500 kids? 🔄 0 👍 3 Original URL
