I commented 6 months ago on the note in the MtV stating "even if [shared with defense]...then ineffective counsel."
It was the weaseliest sentence in a weasel explosion of a document. Glad the court picked up on it as a have your cake and eat it too justification. Once we all saw the content of the note it is manifest why it would not be used in any way by the defense.

Does this mean the world population will decline at some point?

Same thing, because nothing has changed yet. French people don't just lay down and take it up the ass because their almighty leaders said so. The US could learn something from these but they're too busy sucking on corporate boot

The UN thinks it might be 9.5 billion...or more than 12.

You can still use 2FA, just not via sms.
TOTP, yubikey etc are still free.
Edit: those down voting me, as I say in my job, RTFM or in this case the entire email/page about this notice.
You can still use authenticator apps and/or security keys for free. Here's how to do it: https://www.theverge.com/23606430/how-to-secure-twitter-account-2fa-without-blue

Absolute change per year is a rate, too, no?

And that's the absolute change.
The growth rate, relative to the population at the time, topped out in 1963.

Reddit is a terrible place to get takes on anything that involved a specialized field of knowledge. The law, economics, anything science ... honestly really anything than pop culture and comic books.
Unless you're in a specialized, heavily moderated subreddit you're going to be hit with a disaster of misinformed takes whenever something highly technical hits the news.

Relevant funny Wikipedia excerpt:
"When campaigning for a second term in office, U.S. President Richard Nixon announced that the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing, which has been noted as "the first time a sitting president used the third derivative to advance his case for reelection."[2] Since inflation is itself a derivative—the rate at which the purchasing power of money decreases—then the rate of increase of inflation is the derivative of inflation, opposite in sign to the second time derivative of the purchasing power of money. Stating that a function is decreasing is equivalent to stating that its derivative is negative, so Nixon's statement is that the second derivative of inflation is negative, and so the third derivative of purchasing power is positive.
Nixon's statement allowed for the rate of inflation to increase, however, so his statement was not as indicative of stable prices as it sounds."

You are right. The article is saying that the population will peak in 2050, although its headline, which is gibberish, mentions the growth rate peaking, which is what u/ExoticSalamander4 was talking about.
Many years ago I heard a TV reporter say that inflation was accelerating at an increasing rate of speed. I'm not sure how many derivatives that is, but almost certainly more than intended.

My guy, you're not gonna give your car and cell phone to your weed dealer that you only consider an acquaintance no matter what year it is.
I get what you're saying, you can't bring a cell in school at the time but this was after school. And forget about the phone, his car??? The most valuable object a teenager has and he's just letting some weed dealer use it to get his gf a gift. One that is never purchased btw.. What if this guy wrecks his car? It's just preposterous, the whole thing

I don't know.. So many cars have massive issues all the time and looks like Tesla seem to get more attention.
GM had burning battery issue with their BOLT.
Toyota had wheels falling out issue with their BZ4X (stupid name - assuming Subaru also had the issue but it is same car)
Honda recently had to recall 200k+ cars for the side view mirror falling off issue.

Keep the time period in mind. It would not have been at all strange for a high school kid to leave their phone in the car all day, those things were immediate trouble if you had one in school back then.
