    In accordance with the laws of thermodynamics, an infinitely fast speed would be impossible since it would require an infinite amount of energy.
    You see. Wrong again.
    There is no law of thermodynamic saying anything about speed of anything.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    No idea why you want to argue abut stuff you have no clue about, or the author you cite has no clue about.

    Infinite fast speeds, require being faster than light, wich means it violates general relativity theory, not thermodynamics. And yes: it would require infinite energy as the mass of the particles in question would increase more and more and hence would require more energy to be accelerated.

    Thermodynamics is about steam engines ... it is apart of "mechanics" and has nothing to do at all with relativity, quantum mechanics etc.

    or large plant where someone from company would need to direct ambulances where to go.
    That is usually not the case as emergency personal knows the layout of your factory.

    The point in question is not what to call first, 112/911 or internal emergency response. The point is that your parent claimed: the factory/company can reroute 911 to their internal response. And that is clearly WRONG doing. If I dial 0 to get an outside connection, 911 should be reachable.

    No it is not common.
    No how you come to that idea.

    It is not allowed for anyone to interfere with telcomunications, by rerouting numbers.

  4. You want to tell me if there is a car crash and you call an ambulance for a dying driver that you have to pay $450 for the ambulance? Sorry: no way!

    Perhaps the person brought to hospital has to pay, and that will be payed by health insurance and not by the person in question. And in the example of the car accident such costs would be covered in the end by the "guilty" party who caused the accident.

    If you mix up thermodynamics with quantum mechanics you obviously have no big physics education. Or you forgot everything :D But no worries, there are hardly any people on /. that grasp thermodynamics. I would wager 99% of all posts where it is mentioned are wrong about it.

    The hint with the squirrels is interesting ... perhaps I could get an easy PhD that way.

    As we don't have a debate, there is nothing to debate.

    I simply pointed out that there is no difference between my anecdote and your data. In the end it is the same.

    Collect 1000 anecdotes and you have 1000 data points ... if you think otherwise that is up to you.

  7. Government is the least efficient and least effective way to do just about anything you can imagine.
    In your country perhaps.

    In Europe it worked the last 70 years quite fine to have government run businesses. No idea why you americans always claim that a government run business is less effective than a private one. There is absolutely no inherent reason for that.

  9. Additionally our central street that most bus lines use is a historic street made of stone pavement, which causes excessive vibration on the bus structures over time requiring additional maintenance and making buses that operate on gaseous fuel impossible as valves cannot handle vibration for long.
    Sorry, that is complete nonsense.

    Basically all long distance public transport in Thailand runs on gas (LPG). The valves are just fine, rofl. Vibrations causing extra maintenance ... rofl.

    In THIS COUNTRY it is normal for large companies to maintain their own emergency response teams to act as first responders and to coordinate with the authorities.
    Yes, by rerouting 911 to an internal number. Which makes it impossible to actually call an emergency service if there is a real emergency ...

    Sure,

    what is your question regarding steam engines (thermodynamics) and measurements of movement of small particles as in electrons and photons (aka Heisenberg)?

    Oh, you did not know that thermodynamics is about steam engines and heated gases and pressure and has nothing to do with "ordinary physics"? Yeah ... guessed that.

    You mean in your country it is illegal to call the people who can get there quickest?
    No, you can call who ever you want. But it is illegal to reroute 911/112/110 to some where else.

    No idea why you pretend to misunderstand this.

    and calls emergency services to provide clear information on where the problem is and how to get there.
    Interesting. In my country the emergency service KNOWS how to get there, that is their job. And to make that possible big institutions file building plans to them ...

    If you think you need management of emergencies inside of your institution you provide a house intern emergency number, in your case probably 922 or 988 but you don't reroute 911.

    My point of view is basically always: I have to do all my self.

    Obviously if you have cheap programmers who do the UI for you, that is different.

  15. Sorry,
    I don't believe that you have to pay for an ambulance, that makes no sense.

    Each ambulance ride costs the government $2K
    Thats bollocks.

    The ambulance has a driver and a doctor. Lets cost them together $20,000 per month, and they work 20 days, that is $2000 per day not per call. And the cost of the car is neglible.

    If that is illegal in your country, than the law is counterproductive and will get people killed.
    No it does not. It is the fastest way to get an ambulance. And it is forbidden for all numbers to be interfered with from third parties. WTF, I need to call the police but the hostages in the call center can not route the call because: they are hostages?

    First of all: the relevant institutions know exactly where to go. That is their damn job! The building has 3 entrances and a loading dock, security would get the location (building letter, floor number, grid code for the nearest pillar) Why would I not know in which building I am and on what floor I am when I call 911/112?

    Secondly: you have security and safety education in your company, so AFTER you called the emergency number you probably call the house internal first aid. But most likely: SOME ONE ELSE DOES THAT while you are calling THE AUTHORITIES.

    Can't be so hard to have common sense ... but obviously not in your country.

    Depending on platform the most lines of code is: GUI.
