Harder to buy a house, rents might go up, etc. Also, harder to raise capital for startups. Though that's probably a good thing that the bar is raised -- will be better in the long term for everyone.

Red squiggly lines? You're presuming he's using a word processor with spell-checkers. Some people just don't use them (like me, as of late - I used to, but I no longer do. No party reason why, I just don't)

The way you said it sounded like an endorsement (if you'd said that on Reddit, the way you said it would certainly be taken as an endorsement!). But, my mistake, sorry, carry on.

Having children is reaaaaaally expensive. Much more than people would expect. Most 25 year old couples don't have this money, in this day and age. It would require out of them that they both work hardcore hours... but then when baby ha

Yeah, these numbers to me don't look right too. Relatedly (and I'm sorry I'm saying this - I feel terrible saying this): women really really need to have children earlier, preferably before age 28. 30 years ago you saw only 7

Yeah with Anaconda it's not as bad. But no-one told me that's what I needed if I wanted all the science packages to work on Windows... I'd never even heard of Anaconda before this. It took all of my blood and tears for weeks

Among the movers and shakers in the scene, isn't there generally a predilection to use free software over non-free software? E.g. the only time I run across matroska contained movies is when it's released from the scene.
