I mean, this is showing the school bus fatalities are insanely low (just 5 total in 37 years in AL) and we should instead use funding to make the more dangerous parts of student transportation safer. This seems like using data to make sure we are making informed choices that will actually increase safety for a larger number of kids instead of wasting resources.

It seems like the will respect TLS, so in theory even if it failed and someone was able to intercept the request at the relay, they wouldn't have access to the data. That being said"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" is becoming more popular as people anticipate quantum computing may be able to crack these encryptions in bulk.

I don't know about a full workout, since my athletic clothes aren't available to me, but lugging my shit on laps is a good call just to burn energy. I did a lap of the airport and it was about 45 min, so another mimosa or two at the next lounge then I'll do another lap or two.

If those had to all survive independently and couldn't leech off profits of the parent organization we could have true competition. Instead you just need one super-profitable arm of a company than loss-lead your way into other verticals and out-compete everyone else because you don't have to turn a profit, at least while the competition is still clinging on.
