genS3··on Aussie firefighters save world's only groves of prehistoric Wollemi pines
do we even have proof its due to climate crisis. eucalyptus is highly flammable, tourism increases, im pretty sure fires can start from some foil paper on the floor in those regions. also like the aboriginal australian use to do, you need to clean the bush and forests. we should focus our efforts onto that rather than talking about a philosophical "climate crisis" that wipes out concrete efforts that governements can lead to protect their forests.
genS3··on Ask HN: True Apartment Costs in SF?
NYC 2,500-2,800 might be the average, if you live in manhattan, brooklyn, hoboken, or anything close to manhattan it will be more.

do they have a roadmap for charging infrastructure? What if they sell millions and it takes 20min to charge knowing that most people will charge at similar times when going to work?

try saying that to non-european countries and see how you will fare in trial.
genS3··on Apple AirPods: iPhone accessory or the next big thing?
yeah ok. please never be in power I do not want to live in the matrix. I suppose if apple were developing something to plug in one's anus to measure the quality of fart air and microbiomes you'd buy-in. What a world we living in
genS3··on AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile APUs
actually most of the time laptops (beside super expensive macbooks) are very bad at using 4k and the screen look way blurier than a nice sony vaio 1080p screen (what an amazin computer it was) from almost 10 years ago.

especially with windows still sucking at really handling 4k

genS3··on Ask HN: I've been slacking off at Google for 6 years. How can I stop this?
Have a look I picked similar sized appartments 44sqm: LIC (10min ride from midtown) for 600k$ a : https://streeteasy.com/building/5th-street-lofts-5sl/6d

PARIS 15 (family neighboorhood - the furthest one from the city center - 20min) for 600k$: https://www.seloger.com/annonces/achat/appartement/paris-15e...

and I can find much much cheaper in Queens if I move 10min further in something older.

yeah surely your family has good dental for paying only 500$ medical costs.

I totally agree. Having lived through both systems and countries with similar salaries than the one you mention. France is a scam. Europe is a scam. Companie are not entitled to anything they make you either enter some traditional companies with very little benefits (definitly no 401k, discounted movie tickets at best) or they make you enter startup world giving you shitting fictional "stocks" that definitely won't make you a millionaire even if the company hits a multi-billion dollar valuation. You know what else? people managing, doing PM, all the soft skills jobs are better paid in france than dev jobs and better viewed overall. unlike in USA where people pay for the technical skills, engineers compensations in europe are low. somehow we still an old country dominated by old money and the rule that only the elites can get chunks of the companies even tho they are not the one slaving. There are a few exceptions to this but those companies moved their HQ and their core in USA to get away from all this BS. such as Datadog or even Docker. oh and regarding price of accomodation paris is much more expensive than NYC. new york not being only manhattan and brooklyn for people who like to compare even modern apartments in LIC sell for half of what a 200year old apartment would sell in paris.
genS3··on Finnish PM Marin calls for 4-day-week and 6-hours working day in the country
I am curious about rent in Finland as well. I agree 100% with the fact that real-estate is the number 1 reason middle classes lost in power. it is the number 1 limitation when 30 to 50% of your income goes into your rent it is basically like slaving half of the time for some random guy who has a grandfather who bought some buildings two or three generations ago. we need to change this if we want our societies to work.
genS3··on Prison in Japan (2017)
yeah good thinking. you could also think that in a country where being wrong can end your career (literally ended several prime ministers ones) then you won't charge a guy if you don't have strong proof that he is guilty. but you're right Mr. Ghosn, evading tax, using company money for his own good was right to flee.

If anyone can write me a 1year salary check so I can create my startup I ll gladly frame your picture in my office.
genS3··on Peter Thiel at Center of Facebook’s Internal Divisions on Politics
I am not saying it is the problem. I am saying we re living in a system that profits from any social evolution and plays it against its people. and that is what Thiel is saying. He never says women are the problem. capitalism is.
genS3··on Peter Thiel at Center of Facebook’s Internal Divisions on Politics
re-read what he says. he says that open rights to women was used by capitalism as a way to reduce the benefits of everyone. which I agree with. Before you could raise a family with one salary. Now it is impossible. that is a fact, liberalism very often uses society revolutions against its own people. it is a nice coverup.
genS3··on Peter Thiel at Center of Facebook’s Internal Divisions on Politics
he is right. it is not because ads are not favorable to your agenda that you should ban them. what kind of democracy are we living in. California is a world outside of reality
genS3··on Amazon Kendra: Enterprise Search Service
pretty sure they use some of the BERT + rules + a classic search engine + a LOT of marketing kool-aid
genS3··on Amazon Kendra: Enterprise Search Service
lucidworks or sinequa are already doing that in the enterprise search space
