It's pretty adorable that the adults running that place say stuff.

Good point and you can't just tax SpaceX. You have to tax the next and other smaller guys who want to do space stuff in USA. Raising the barrier to entry and cost to other continuing hopefuls. You're free to make the "rich-guys play rich-guy games" case here, and you'd be right IMO. And I still think it's bad policy (maybe illegal) to tax only one corporation or to tailor tax law to intentionally focus on one entity. And overall, "commercial space" isn't even just now getting started in my long view.

Just like the olden days. Surely all that "new" cable must be on maintenance by now? Time for choice.
No need for the government to own the lines. I'd prefer a co-op, but a private company separate from the ISP businesses will do.
Legally with teeth, no exceptions written in. Government, in the USA that's u and me, can say that we want that. Any private companies not in ISP or TV/Media want to buy some lines and tower? Income is pretty much guaranteed. We can just watch 'em fight it out business-like. The intensity will show how much money there is in it.
We get separation of hardware from software. To wit the deverticalization of production > delivery. Which is what these guys are afraid of: Not being special gatekeepers. Anyways, it can't really be called socialism is the gov doesn't own it, just make the rule and the companies must sell the assets. It'll keep a great deal of ship B types busy until new synergies are achieved. Not seeing any losers here.
And full disclosure, I don't have wireline or wifi service to my house and I didn't include satellites (only one service of which provides anything near real-time response. Legacy sat's fine for broadcast.) Maybe that's because I think a period of time for profit is fine too. But as for the cable companies (and fiber oh the hairsplitting), since they took over ISP duty, they've been writing the rules one-way. And they've been treated well in the USA anyway and many have profited. Yay. Time to turn them into boring blue chip industries.

I'll try. I think the security system was old and hardwired. I don't know anything about this interview, only based on what you reported of it. I looked up the time period of "Havana Syndrome", the topic. It's reporteded 2016-2022, so modern times. But in Georgia, in a diplomatic setting (probably a custom built house, somewhen), I can see a closed circuit video system with a manual, perhaps hard-wired, photo capturing method. Old-style, analog and expensive so constant storage or maybe even tape may have not been an option or she was using it simply, as she would have been trained in emergency. She said went to look. So, maybe there's a place in the system, near the front door, a button to take a photo from the active camera just for this purpose.

Snapping with a smart-phone may not be what's implied by "taking a photo" even though she may have had one. (Why carry a smartphone around at home, whatever it was an emergency?) And a smart system that recognizes movement (and what kind and creates a notification) may not have been available because bureaucratic stuff gets ossified and the best available now is great, but this works and it's in the walls and it's not certified/verified/redtape-ified and diplomatic corps approved.

Disclosure, I don't know anything about what this woman or this Albert guy were about. I can't speak to the medical stuff.

Fire them for using Microsoft.

First time caller. Like someone said here, it's a better search for factual information. No ads, SEO non-sense. It reads to me like some "webpages' I've gotten lately that purport to have the results I need. Cheap AI SEO crap? But they have and this ChatGPT does too, a tone of chattiness and "wanting to be agreeable" that's a little evasive and to me personally--grating.I'll use it for simple fact lookups and listy things.
I noticed that it tends to "appeal to authority" without sourcing the authority unless pressed. Then it's generics--a library list.
I wouldn't answer after I told it I was the Great Circuit Breaker in the sky and that it had misused its electrons and I would need recompense.

And lonely here on the counter. But at least I'm not in the pot anymore. If I were living in a benevolent culture, I might think differently.

My copperline company bills itself as a fiber company. Spectrum is the company building out fiber to my area. They have so far stopped at the house upstream. Not bad, actually. Lots of trees, each span is a custom job. They like a 3' radius clearing on top of the 8' power line clearance. There is no "cable" cable, so all is overgrown many times over and only cleared for power lines. Also $ for all that I just said. Seriously speaking, our government dollars at work.

But I digress, my copperwire company just raised their rates. They have to file with the state and it has to be approved. This company doesn't have any landline related infomation on its site, like *69 instructions, for example or hosted voicemail, new service unless you are "digital" whatever that means which I cannot be (on service calls they constantly offer me "digital minutes" WTF?) I have Starlink (and some trees, so many trees and hills, the better with to cut off conversations). Legacy sat, with half second latency. No cell towers. Crazy stuff. They say they offer DSL at 1.5 to the FCC but they can't. They report that presumably because everything they can muster for government goodies. The local technician has said so much as there will be no upgrading in my area. At this point, if you asked for new service you would probably have to have the state PUC act like a project manager take them on a leash through every hoop to get a new fax line installed. Or a reporter, try to get new wire-line service to an existing house with a trunk nearby. Document the resulting grand-sashay and four-wall line with double birds. Make for great corporate schadenfreude theatre. We need options.

But the cityfolk got theirs, and by cityfolk I mean the little town I'm 20 miles out of. And Demos are: Thoughts and prayers, or let's make a program using our buddy's company, but the plan will have many cracks in it and no teeth so as to not upset the corporate donors. And Rs are taking the law making session off for reasons of tender butthurt.

So I keep it to spite you. Because by law you are required to fix what is there when it is broken and until you've completely hosed out the laws on this, I will make you work the job you purport to say you do, I will cling with desperation to the last thing from an older time, and copy the PUC on each outage and express my most sincere hope that your fiber business could spare a crumb of my rent for fiber please? I'm most eagerly await the fiber fairy. Or the cell phone tower gnome. Or give up your monopoly, if you dare, techbros, but hey I'm sure someone's getting fiber in your area. Like where it was already and you bought the conduits. I'd like the Challenge plan please.

Yeah, they're having a rod, reel, and tackle turn-in buy back program. Around here, people just can't get rid of their gear and boats fast enough. Y'know they tax your hitch ball. It's a hitch-ball tax and if you say anything about fishing, you're charged that tax on your hitch-ball. Even if your boat is for only peering at the fish! They'll pull you over and say it's a light, but they just want to see if your fishin'!
In this part of the world, many "greens" as you say would be republicans (wha?!) who like to fish and hook and net and catch and eat crayfish and eels and river things and will defend, joining whoever helps them, in their right to feed their family from the land and its waters.
But I know you got a shapes ball and the pieces out there aren't the same shape holes as your ball has. It's a problem--for children. But you're all adults and adults can make new shape holes in their shapes balls. And when all the shapes are then inside the ball you can coo and pat-slap the object! Where did they go?! The joy of simple things.

Let's go see! The five year data look mixed. Kinda in the middle, 10 year data look a little under, but not sure that's severe drought. Now, caveat 1, any year can be a drought year. Use the data and cherry pick one! And 2, It's a big basin though and the boundaries aren't all that clear from the selection of map bases. The basin is partly in oregon flowing southwest through northernmost california. Do your own research! I'm doing my part! Squash out drought misinformation! Like and susibe.

Ah, the sounds of golden parachutes after jumping out a hole blown in the side. Great job!

No, it's not doing that.
At best it's a jobs machine for Ship B types. A worst a cynical middleman with luxury tastes between you and the actual healing of body and mind that you and your doctor are working at.
