You didn't answer my question. And you won't. Ever. Because that would be admitting I'm right.

Good point. 20% grown could easily be a 100% price increase on a 40% loss of customers.

And what happens if the caller screams and the line goes dead? Or whispers "He's coming" and the line goes dead. Is the response cancelled? What do you believe should happen?

And do feel free to explain how someone doing a swatting call can't do exactly that.

If you call 999, does the operator question whether or not it's a real call before sending assistance? Really? And you like it that way?

Only the left, for whom a core value is that everyone should be equal (except themselves), and they know full well that their base are worthless lazy parasites who will never have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of regardless of what anyone does for or to them, and the only way to make everyone equal is to drag everyone else (except themselves) down to the same level.

(The right want to reduce everyone (except themselves) to literal slavery, but they feel the same about other Americans as they do about dirty mud people foreigners.)

That's not an issue with 911 responding to all calls, that's an issue with police overreacting. You can't try to solve a problem if you can't identify what it is.

Also, there are an estimated 600,000 911 calls per day. There are not 600,000 police involved shooting from 911 calls per day. So perhaps what you should be questioning is the credibility of the bullshit propaganda you're gobbling down about how "the police's only response in the US (emphasis mine, but an exact quote from your post) is to send lots of people with guns trying to kick your door in while screaming death threats."

It too me about 30 seconds on Google to find that there are about 600,000 911 calls per year in the US, about a third of which involve police, which means that your only response is less than 1%.

"Growth rates for major cloud providers AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have declined from pandemic peaks of 40-50% to 10-20%"

That's not a reversal, that's a saturated market. Until that number is negative, it's not a reversal.

(I do expect it will go negative within the next few years, since could it, in fact, more expensive and less reliable. The only companies who will continue going to the cloud are those who have a mission critical app they can't operate without from a vendor who only offers continued upgrade and security patches on a cloud migration - at several times the cost. Why, yes, I do know such a company, why do you ask?)

If someone is trying to kick your door in while screaming death threats, you you want the 911 operator to question whether or not it's a real call?

The only way to determine if it's a real call is to have someone on site. That can be handled poorly (and sometimes is), but the only way the system works is to respond to all calls. There's plenty of historical examples of why that is.

(This little shit should get 375 consecutive sentences, and spend the rest of his useless, parasitic life in a 6x9 foot concrete room with stainless steel furniture.)

Amounted to at least four violations, per piece of classified information.

Removing it from the secure system.
Removing the notice that it was classified.
Putting it on an insecure network (the internet).
Not reporting the breach (which is mandatory).

And there's absolutely no question that classified information was compromised, to the tune of over a hundred times, so a minimum of 400-500 federal crimes. (There's little question that it was accessed repeatedly by foreign powers, as well, despite what the Orange Man Bad crowd want desperately to believe. Some of what was compromised was at the highest level of classification, which is defined as doing grievous and irreparable harm to the US.)

The head of the FBI declined to prosecute because - he told Congress, under oath (a lot of people don't believe him) - what he could prove required intent, and she was too incompetent or stupid to understand what she was doing.

(She also didn't go through the mandatory training for handling classified data, which means whoever gave her access committed quite a few crimes, as well.)

Better solution when dealing with MBAs: They can have TMPs or they can have copyright (and patent) protection, but not both. Then the market will decide. Encrypt that ebook? When someone cracks it - and someone will - it is in the public domain.

I suspect the baud rate is so slow that it takes days to send - and verify - commands. At this distance, it may be literally slower than a fast typist, and everything has to be verified before implemented or they lose the spacecraft entirely.

There's a lot more involved than just transmission time.

I am a former constituent of Kamal (carpet bagger) Harris from her Senate days. I would literally vote for Charles Manson's rotting corpse before I would vote to put her in a national office (or dog catcher, for that matter). She is a loyal party hack, who does exactly and only what she's told by her (nameless, faceless) handlers (who answer to no one) from the California Machine. A vote for Harris was a vote to make the rest of the country more like California, which is a political shithole with obscene taxes, the highest gas taxes in the US, businesses fleeing by the thousands, and homelessness that's not just rampant but actively encouraged by the monkeys in Sacramento.

Not that Trump is a better choice, except in one way:

Harris as President would be hated by half of Congress, but even with Republicans in control of both houses (and they've already taken back the Senate, and it looks like they'll keep the House) their majority will be slim, and the Democrats will still be players, pushing their socialist agenda with measurable success.

Trump as President will be hated by all of Congress, with his own party hating him more the other side (if only because Trump is the best fund-raising operative for the DNC that has ever lived). Trump will spend four years being ignored by Congress. His most likely only accomplishment is to veto so many bills that it forces bipartisan cooperation in Congress to override. He could unite the left and the right in their hatred of him. But he won't advance any kind of political agenda that will increase the amount of politically motivated violence, the way both parties have for the last several election cycles.

Completely paralyzing the federal government is our best option right now.

Not to mention how thoroughly proven AIs are to making shit up that is in no way connected to the training data.

They rarely do, especially with tech companies.

The only way to solve it is for the AI to actually understand the training material. And understanding requires a level of awareness that deterministic computers simply aren't capable of, and never will be.
