This is very cool! Out of curiosity, where are you getting the data from?

The word "green" isn't composed of multiple words with their own meaning. A better example would be objecting to guinea pigs being called guinea pigs because they're not actually swine.

So the European poster child AI company is now doing something that smells of patent trolling? Gee, Europe really isn't helping its image of a society obsessed with lawfare.

Yes, but maybe the author disagrees with the term? I mean, can you even call it "coding" when you don't handle any code?

House numbering is surprisingly interesting and diverse! Europe does it differently from the Americas, but Colombia has its own method, and so does Germany. (Infuriatingly, you can find both German and European house numbering in Berlin.) S

Studies show that hetero women tend to agree that most men are not attractive.

OTOH, these other effects could have been directly caused by weight loss. Being overweight isn't exactly healthy!

Well you kinda said it yourself? If men are generally unattractive then a man should be less likely to lose out to a better-looking man, simply because there's fewer of these to go around.

Even the nipple isn't intuitive for every baby. Some of them need suck training.

Never heard the word "coypu" before, turns out it's the same as "nutria".

If Intel is competitive with Apple again, this should be good for the customer.

Can you elaborate please?

> That solidarity was more naturally built in places like coal mines where workers were closely collocated and was more difficult to build in framework knitting, where workers were scattered. Did someone just say "WFH"?

> Makes you wonder why no one wants to be his friend? Wow, what a way to be bitter and defensive.

It doesn't matter if GP is able to discern the difference, it matters if your CEO is forced to care about the difference.

To be completely honest with you, it's a bit of both. I realise that this idea is somewhat obnoxious, hence the gallows humour. At the same time, I genuinely don't think we have a way out of this that does not involve reforms we t

Can't exactly help out with childbirth if you don't have an uterus.

Ha, this has some serious There Will Come Soft Rains energy.

You jest, but I'd think it really is the opposite. Hard to care too much for a child if you've got five spare ones.

It is a problem, because all these people want a good standard of living which strains the environment.

Pray tell, what do you mean by "the rest of the world"? Surely it's not Western Europe, which is already being strangled by the cost of the welfare state?

Even by your definition, HN is still full of off-topic politics these days.

To butcher a famous poem, it's better to have hired and lost than never to have hired at all . Restrictions on letting go of enployees mean that companies are afraid to hire. They double check and triple check, they reject everyone th

> What kind of people do you think are interested in this kind of rigid rubric? This is actually spot on. In my last gig I was working with the kind of people French job security produces. Never again.

And the coal workers too. If the industry itself is dying pr mutating then the workers are screwed either way, union or no union.

This gets trotted out every time, but let's be realistic: you can't pay your rent in European good vibes.
