Humans like cars, not buses.

Americans like cars not buses thanks to decades of marketing getting shoved down their throats. That's led to a chicken/egg situation where it's hard to get around without a car because everyone has them.

Have you ever actually ridden a bus? You sound like someone with little experience riding a bus daily.

OpenBSD truly adheres to "KISS", especially regarding simple configuration files. Exactly of what systemd isn't. It may have (and I'm still not convinced) nice features, but for my uses what is presently being used suffices, both on Linux and especially on OpenBSD.

I really think school districts ought to start performing audits of the expenses associated with receiving federal money. Some districts have found, for example, that if they opt out of the federal school lunch guidelines championed by the first lady, the programs are quickly back in the black. Less wasted food, more purchases, and no time spent verifying compliance for grant money. The federal funds were insufficient to cover the losses associated with the mandates that came with the money.

I suspect a lot of federal school mandates would end up the same way. Ditching federal money might allow for a number of compliance administrators to be cut from a school district, and give teachers more time to do their jobs.

Well, the two factor authentication I favour most is the simple SMS to a know phone number. Facebook seems to be able to send warning SMS, but it want you to use their App for the two factor authentication. I don't see that as a good idea.

I'm not all that fond of phone based two-factor authentication any way. Especially, because phones break, get lost or get stolen at the least opportune moments.
