I've never seen this personally (living in DC area since 2014). At best, flights were on par and you still had to transport from airport to destination vs being likely in the city center (as noted elsewhere in this thread already) and deal with all the other airport time. Bus is definitely cheaper today though with highly variable experience along the way.

How is that your conclusion? OP had a number of things that were improved in-scope of his role, specifically cited this was before offsite version control, and that his replacement somehow deleted things.

Since light travels a lot faster than sound, I imagine the visual cues of conductor and/or lead of your section and practice of staying on beat matter more than hearing someone across the symphony.

People being good at anything else (let's say, accounting) is not correlated with safe/smart computer use habits. If you can prevent a lot of turmoil by not letting them install arbitrary programs and still keep them happy and working well on their main role, why get rid of an otherwise good employee?

From TFA: "The application must include the investigator’s institutional affiliation and the proposed uses of the data. NYU fastMRI data may be used for internal research or educational purposes only as described in the data use agreement and may not be redistributed in any way without prior permission."

Take 10s to read yourself instead of complaining about others not reading for you. It's at the top of the page currently, under a heading, "Apply for Access".

I think that there will be a shift in the provided capabilities of places like apartments in the near-ish future that will address this problem. More people will own electric cars, and either charge them at parking garages at work, and their homes/apartments will be retro-fitted. Probably won't be free, but the removed gas cost should well offset it on an individual level.

As far as I've heard, it is more about lying than past use (unless that past is a month ago and was a real bender). Telling them the truth about something that happened 9 years ago isn't likely to get you booted.

The OP talked about BYOB, which rarely includes "root access" (either via a root cert for decrypting traffic or admin level access to the machine)..
