I believe he linked to the tweet because the article is Medium members only right now instead of public.

While I'm surprised at the granularity, this seems like it would be needed at some point to generate read times and such. Kindle tells you how much time is left in a book and this is either a WAG or something based on data.

However Apple or Amazon didn't back up their claims. If Bloomberg published an article of this magnitude which could be demonstrably disproved, it'd kill Newsweek's reputation.

More importantly, think of what would be Bloomberg's reasons to publish a false story versus Amazon and Apple's reason to deny a true story.

They were barred before - I think this language means next time they are caught, it'll hopefully be much worse.

I'm a daily rider on the 4/5 and C lines, and I didn't see the ads for this. A semi-random sampling of my colleges where I work (upper east side) saw mixed knowledge about the tests.

I am curious to find out how many reports they got from riders who saw the researchers. I know that if I saw someone releasing gas like in the picture in the article, I'd quickly find someone to talk to about it.

That said, hopefully they can validate models which will provide optimum locations for detectors, as well as action plans once a detection occurs, such as kill all cars near the detection and change venting airflows.
