Seems like a per-satellite tax could incentivize reducing the number of satellites where possible, and could help fund some of the research hindered by too-many satellites.
They'd probably solve most of their problems by simply recognizing that a single term with a - isn't an exclusion, because it returns no results. That's like... a 10 minute regex fix
It's a Google feature that isn't very smart... adding a dash before a word will exclude results containing that word I suspect it trips up people that don't know this more than it's actually used.
Most people will remember Anish Kapoor as the bean guy
I would argue that cyberpunk is only nostalgic because not much has been done to modernize it or push the genre forward. It's simply nostalgic because it's aged... similar mid-century depictions of the future.
I suppose an advanced version of VR could replace some amount of travel, which is a significant source of atmospheric pollution.
There's a lot of backstory to this... it's a dig against Vantablack, which Anish Kapoor (famous sculptor) managed to buy exclusive rights for using in art: https://www.wired.com/story/vantablack-anish-kapoor-stuart-s...

how many "former" government employees work at Google?
Most of their work probably doesn't even need to be technical. How many high-profile attacks have been based on social engineering?

It makes sense when you think about the mechanics involved. Standing is constant stress in the same places. Walking is varying stress with alternating relief.
