If the user above got what he wished, it'd be 0.90. That's what I'm talking about. This is a topic where one needs to know how to read, my nagging friend.
Not sure, I think it may be more about half your women in their 40s staying single and childless vs 1% 50 years ago, but don't quote me on that!
That's very obtuse, there is always time to make more CASH, but there isn't to reverse a culture where having 0 children is normal and encouraged.
I agree! But I just like using them to drive a point across. Practical examples drive points across much better than some generalizations that take 10x as many words to be expressed. exactly. so in 2150, or 2200, or…
People are people, they live their lives, and there is no mastermind behind them. That is a given. But there is a common culture and country wide patterns that can still be observed.
I'm honestly very glad to hear it won't be too bad but I reaaaaallly do not really care about numbers, my point is much broader. I'd prefer if it didn't have to go through this at all. Knowing you are headed for bad…
Why? What's so bad about India? Their people are young and positive, the west is ancient and past its peak. It's a very simple point actually.
This is an hyperbole, yes. Replace the 100 million value with 300, 400, 500, and my point isnt going to change.
True, let's put it this way then. In some time, there will be 1.2 billion >80 year olds and 100 million people under 18. You see, I know it's hard to grasp for some, but everything is really relative.
You said it yourself, nearly, so it's not something written in stone. I can fault India (and, in particular, Modi) for repeating the same mistake all other western developed countries made 40 years before, yes.
India's ongoing growth, and overall the positive sentiment of the population, is such a breath of fresh air compared to the decadent west. It's just a shame that you are also speedrunning population collapse. Modi…
Yup, and this is my age range. I guess I should have specified, knowing the average age on HN is... just a little higher to say the least. But to a progressively lower extent it applies to older generations as well.
Wait wait wait, you are from an older generation, so yes it mostly (older people here do see each other often even when married. moving out? ha) doesn't apply to you. I am indeed quite a lot younger, and in my personal…
Irrelevant nitpick, but it's definitely not "most". I'd argue it's only this common in some English speaking countries and maybe a few other Western ones. The looks I get from American friends when I tell them that yes…
Count me in. I'd rather be poor in the worst neighborhood (or village) in Nigeria but healthy than in a European mansion and unhealthy. Feel free to tell me all about how I can't understand, champion of the proletariat.
Uhhh, some nerve damage, news worthy? Ho qualche dubbio al riguardo. Fellow italian here, let's not act like our third rate ERs never leave people suffering for hours without caring that it may have lasting…
You lost any credibility with the $5000 comment. You have no idea how the american system works and I'm not even american. Your snarky tone is absolutely disgusting, I would love for you to receive the same answer when…
Young southern europeans are in turn emigrating north. Are Spain, Italy, Portugal not well off? There is a saying. More is better. Morocco has issues with tourists and diaspora pricing out locals from houses to food…
So? How does the population being religious disprove the fact that they are developed and having children? Not to mention that I have listed around ~10 countries after Israel. Uh... Meme-based? This is such an unserious…
Well, if there are >0 developed countries that have solved this (Israel, the GCC, and dare I say fairly well-off countries like Jordan and Algeria) then this proves wrong the hypothesis that modern hyper-development…
Everyone stupid enough to let that happen is. There is a handful of developed countries where this is not an issue.
I agree, I like both. Thankfully for us, both are dead and the only options left are 19.5:9 or 20:9. Hooray!
The newer versions of are no longer based on Android. So it's either quirky VMs with hundreds of papercuts or nothing. Huawei Global is still a thing, and in some markets they keep releasing phones using Android 12 and…
I don't know about you, but I personally really appreciate when people warn me in advance that something is going to be a waste of time. "and I don't think that's right, and the distinction matters" Yeah right. lol
Huawei was this close to making the perfect 16:9 phone, now, in 2026. I would have gladly used all my apps in a half broken Android VM (they no longer use Android themselves). It's too bad they had to be extreme about…
