It would be more appropriate from Europe to count all the environmental harm corpos like Cocacola get away with and simply start taxing based on the extra strain they cause to society. Give a number and just not budge. It is not hard to deal with this man.

At first I thought it might be a standing point for Orbán to point out that they want this (but the bad EU, yadda yadda), but after actually reading that garbage of a propaganda piece, I can only imagine that part is boiler-plate, and noone along the chain caught it or could be bothered with correcting it.
Trump is serving up the distmantling of most US soft powers. Like how is this not a game of chicken for us to bunch up on Ireland and tell them no more fucking around with appl and alphabet. I'd love nothing more than a third level bureaucrat tucked away in Strassbourg to calculate exactly how much societal and global harm these companies cause. We could shift that into dollars (somehow?), and make sure they pay that tax, or we start filtering their sites. I rarely believe restriction is the way to go, but nothing would really be lost here.
There are pretty easy solutions for at least the e-blockage: dropoff zones. Big scooter is not quite there yet to go against a mediocre public backlash.
The car solution is super easy as well, there is just too much money to be made in that sector.
Well, teleporting is more like the move function where you delete the original copy.
I had a similar argument with a friend, and I think he won that time. It came out of left field and rephrases the whole thought experiment.
Instead of me defending the argument, how would you interpret a clone incident? Would you get 'the other feed' as well? We have the sleep cycle where we don't actively get input (even though our conciousness is present during dreams to a certain extent). So if a transporter clone incident rebuilds the person on the other side, but an original instant could go on experiencing a life that wouldn't be if the transporter functioned correctly.
Hopefully that took the soul out of your argument!
Jeepers!
Golly! Gosh!
Yeah, I can say all manner of things like bork and twiddledee, but I don't think I can get marblegargler to stick.
Unless a meme picks it up or is in at least the urban dictionary, it doesn't count.
Yeah, there definitely are some waved away elements that are basically magic. I'm just binging TNG now, but I saw the Lower Decks tribute to many-a transporter incidents.
I mean if you can transport and not at the same time (the copy version), it is not hard to think that once that buffer is cleared on the one side, it's game over man.
The peas are ready to roll in.
It's so neat how different cultures adapted to numbers. Like French have something like 4 times 20 (and?) 2 to mean 82. In Hungarian if you say billió, that is one trillion rather one billion. We riff on the ending of million to express billion: milliárd.
Because those times are over.
If you want to start a diner and pay fair wages, you will need to charge so much that people will go elsewhere. Or some shit like that, I've never really owned anything.
Living in squalor is bliss compared to whatever 996 might mean.
