One that can be purchased and shipped from the EU.
They have the strongest consumer protections and guarantees.
I'd go for a Sony.
"It's only us that can be trusted to be stewards of this technology.
Ban open source models."
> which goes against the alignment of the university donors
Why do we allow non public universities to exist again?
Either it's yet again a marketing ploy or federal police needs to move in
Incredible that US public service does the bidding of corporate America.
It's like freedom.equals(we don't like regulation at all)
You keep spewing apologist nonsense by refusing to acknowledge that the US is by far the most imperialist entity at the moment.
In comparison, China is the least.
> China didn't just form with its current borders. It expanded and contracted and expanded some more for millennia.
As did everyone else?
I don't see China having military bases all over the world and proping up "freedom fighters"
Being in a Union is the only moat.
Why isn't Firefox funded from the state as a utility and is instead left to rot in the hands of the "free" market?
If ff needs to turn a profit to survive how can it not follow the directives of the market?
The safest jobs from AI are the Unionized ones.
> Why is spain suffering from this?
A lot of good answers to which I'd like to contribute a personal understanding as someone from the euro south:
These countries were decimated by free trade. A significant amount of the populace is not interested in having a "career" and follow a race to the bottom by competing 24/7. I would say culturally they are incompatible the the free marketeering that has been going on in the past decades.
We need to get protectionism back up and running. Work is a necessary evil that needs to take as little of our life as possible.
What does being smart even mean?

This is another opportunity for the EU to reign in and create a proper definition of ownership so that this does not pass.
Of course, it would be interesting to hear the freemarketeering on this site and how people should "vote with their wallet" and sites/movements such as $freeplaystation.whatever sprouting pseudopolemic nonsense.
Making it illegal would be communism
Hi Peter, thank you for your time
I have been living and working Estonia for around 2 years now, I have mostly US clients for a saas that I direct, this saas brings me around steady income of around 200k euros per year, at least 130k come from east coast companies.
Can I apply for the E1 treaty trader visa? Even if my company is not incorporated in Greece?

> There is a class of prediction markets that are useful
No there is not.
That's as damaging a statement as "soft" drugs or "problem" gambling.
Statements usured by corporate PR to set up a fake middle ground and delegate responsibility to the consumer for any "bad" behaviour.
I am not convinced that Israel is such an important ally.
I suspect a fourth column.
I cannot believe we do not have a good arm Linux laptop with a comparable price and battery to a MacBook at this stage.
I am forced to use this abomination of an operating system just because.
Come on Lenovo, make it happen
They wouldn't, it's just the West trying to set up the stage.
They need a way out over their current mess.
I ve been a happy user of debian stable for 15 years now, if I could get a Linux laptop with a comparable battery life to apple's then it's done for me.
I think linux people tend to forget how important battery life is on a laptop
Is this one of the instances where European regulations hurt businesses?
They tell themselves stories about "if free market did not want it it would not exist" or better us than them
Didn't the US revoke the visas of around 80 Palestinian officials scheduled to speak at the UN summit?
