Technology does that. Efficient engineering and the like, finding ways to do far more with far less resource. A reducing population isn't a good sign for long term cohesion of a society.

The reason houses are more expensive is that prices are now predicated on two incomes.
A generation or so ago, when women by and large created the communities and support structures of the first world, the price of a house was predicated on one income. Childcare was also communal (where you could leave a child with a friend if you both needed to be doing something).
The actual cost of the job that women were doing (and yes, I do consider making a home and community as a job) is now being seen, and unless you have a well paid job, childcare will easily eat one salary if you have two or more kids.

So now, people are leaving it later to try and have kids, in order to be financially viable in the new market conditions. Sadly, quite a few are realising they've left it a little late.

As Glyphosate is not toxic (apart from repeatedly swimming in it and guzzling it by the pints daily) to mammals.
The whole reason it's frowned on is because Lawyers got involved, and because scientists couldn't say "Without a doubt, Glyphosate does not cause cancer" it got marked as a carcinogen. There again, scientists will never say "without a doubt", as there is always room for doubt in anything but the most settled of science, after decades or centuries of analysis. The data shows Glyphosate as being safe, and it being "extremely unlikely" that there is any connection between normal exposure to Glyphosate and cancer. It's one of the safest herbicides around, if not the safest for mammals. So it's no surprise that anything that is used instead is more toxic.

Don't forget technical debt. Those excel spreadsheets and what not work fine for a while. When a version of excel makes some change, or deprecates part of the code used, or someone wants to put it in a proper system where the data isn't siloed, all hell breaks loose. And seeing as there are lots of these things around in an average enterprise, it can get to be a real headache.

You've pretty much just described a light form of RAD tools, giving that level of detail. And they've been translating logic to code since the '90s.

Why on earth would you go directly to sexual harassment? That was never part of the conversation, so I call whataboutism.

The notion that AI will help social media is all you need to know that those folks haven't the slightest clue.

You have to be stupid to think you have "freedom of speech" on anybody's private network or subreddit. It's the height of narcissism to think that's some "right" you have.

Reddit is run by individual armies of people who carefully cultivate specific communities. They have every right to restrict the content in their communities, and you have every right to create your own community if you don't like it. Complaining that you're upset because you broke somebody else's rules is childish.

With no due respect, fuck Kevin Rose.

He's the one that killed Digg in the first place. He wouldn't know how to create a good social media platform if it was a 40oz out of a brown paper bag.

You mean similar to the (hoax) Feminist manifesto that was published in a high ranking Feminist journal, that was literally a translation of Mein Kampf?

Actually, after the war, most were happy to stay at home with the family. This lasted from 1945 to about mid 1980s. A lot of that was the perceived better lifestyle that could be obtained in the '80s by having two partners working. The benefits lasted until possibly the early 2000s, when the market stabilised, and house prices adjusted for having two partners working, and increased drastically to soak the extra available capital.

That'd be personal perspective. I found it to be the worst I've ever seen.

That means the guy they put the chip into **hasn't died yet**.
