It's not about being a "pussy", it's about deciding what they want in life. If you want them to make a different decision then you need to make your preferred alternative more attractive.

Same as the base Macbook Neo. I thought Linux was super efficient though? Surely you can run a decent desktop on that.

You can suggest that, but you are saying "give up your close ties to family/friends/social life", and "move further from your job, or find a new one". Obviously if they really want kids they will make it work, but it's the ones who would like them but are not willing to give up so much of their lives, and limit themselves to one or zero.

The "fuck you, kids are your problem and I'm not paying for them" attitude has a lot to do with the declining birth rate in some countries.

What you describe is the inevitable result of women being empowered through having their own careers and being able to own property independently. Used to be that they needed a man and the clock was ticking, so they had to settle. Now a relationship is something they can take or leave, so they have higher standards and expectations.

Men who don't understand that tend to think of women as bitches and uppity.

Or we could rework out economies to not require an ever growing population.

It's going to need a bit more than cheaper baby supplies. For example, a lot of people can't afford to buy a family sized home.

It's the "fights back", particularly combined with "back", that makes it seem incorrect. The "back", to me, implies more than just reduction or elimination. Maybe I'm wrong.

I was wondering why street lights don't have motion sensors. Maybe it's because the range of the sensors is too low. Typical PIR stuff won't work very well at that distance. Or maybe the lights going on and off all the time would be distracting or annoying for residents.

It was a decision that weighed up the pros and cons.

Pros:
- Broader spectrum light has better colour rendering, i.e. you can see things like road markings and hazards better with it. Sodium is very narrow spectrum.
- CCTV can see a lot better with broad spectrum.
- Whiter light appears brighter to humans even when the light output is lower than redder light.
- LEDs are more efficient at higher colour temperatures, although the difference is small now.

Cons:
- Can mess up the natural day/night cycle for living things, from insects to humans.
- Some people prefer orange.

If it is bothering you then contact your council. They can install a shield that stops it shining into your bedroom.

It says "combat" and "fight back", but it seems like it just protects the user and does nothing to retaliate.

I think anyone how serves a cat probably knows that AI doesn't need to be particularly complex or intelligent to take over the world. Cats don't have object permanence or the ability to reason, and they still easily get humans to work for them for free.

Brave has betrayed user trust far too many times. They currently offer a paid version that claims not to monetize you, but how can you trust them? Besides, they are not keeping Manifest V2 either, they won't maintain it after Google removes it.

He hacked it together in a weekend with little thought. As is often the case, the worst option becomes the de-facto standard. See Markdown for another example.

I thought common Slashdot wisdom was to disable Javascript because only a madman runs unknown code downloaded from the internet on every website he visits.

They were thinking that the web is their platform. The whole reason they created Chrome was because they wanted the web to be the platform, not the underlying OS. Chomebooks are mostly just a web browser.

Googlebooks are abandoning that to have proper apps. They seem to be hoping that it can become as much as a gaming platform as Android.

It's sad that McD is the standard for quick, known quantity food. In Japan they have little noodle places that are just as fast, but the food is infinitely better, both in terms of taste and nutrition.
