The same thing was/is said about corporal punishment in children.
You're opening a can of worms here. There are cultures which encourage fair corporal punishment and it works very well, and there are cultures which completely forbid it (such as northern European countries) and it also works.
These things have many shades of grey. Western society considers corporal punishment as a very bad thing, and the effects of that kind of enforcement are not known yet, because not enough time has passed to be sure. Could prove disastrous a couple generations from now. We simply don't know.
You've read it wrongly. Montessori education exposes children to reality of the world from a very early age. Yes, even concepts of physical injury, death, etc.
Just 2h earlier I was walking my sons (aged 3 and 5) to the kindergarden and we saw a dead pigeon in the street, it was hit by a car. They saw it, I explained how it died and they learned (from a real life example) why it's wise to only cross the street when there's a green light.
The issue we're talking about here is not that the Internet has weird content, but that kids are unprepared when exposed to such content.
You just don't get it, do you. Paying taxes is neither immoral nor illegal, I agree, that's a correct statement. People as well as corporations have to pay what they are legally bound to pay. Then there are loopholes and exceptions and fiscal paradises - exploiting them is legal but immoral.
Must have been a "modern" psychologist bullshitting you like that. I don't remember the first time I was exposed to the concept of death, but it must have been before I was 4, when I buried my dead cat with help from my grandparents. I remember having been familiar with the concept of disease (cat died because it was sick) and physical harm (chicken and pigs being slaughtered for food, for example).
At the countryside, kids are exposed to these things from start. If kids reach the age of 3-4 and are not yet exposed to reality of this kind (living things die, harm may happen to them, etc) then they're not raised well. Helicopter parenting is a plague - remember that.
The discussion is academic. High-to-extreme overclocking would indeed reduce the projected CPU life from 10+ years to something like 4-5 years. Do you need to worry about it? Not unless you only upgrade once a decade. And it's not "the gates" degrading, that's ridiculous. In theory, the CPU oscillator would degrade over long periods of time (all oscillators do), but as I mentioned before, the reduction in life is calculated in percentages, not absolute values. 20% faster degradation translates to a CPU life of 8 years instead of 10 at the overclocked frequency - meaning that if you keep a CPU at extreme frequencies it might no longer be able to hold them a few years from now.
My goal was overclock with lower voltage to preserve cpu life. The way I sit it should be able to OC at this speed for a good 10 years before any degratiion.
Wait, what? There is no such thing ("CPU life, degradation") since mid-2000s. There are overclocked I5 2500K and 2600K CPUs in my house (the file server and my wife's PC) going strong for the last 6 years. Agreed on the price/performance ratio, though, AMD has been a budget-CPU company for quite some time, and I am glad they are starting to compete with Intel with Ryzen and Threadripper.
Flawed argument. That's what people have been saying when facing the decision to start mining, and they ended up not mining. Those who did... well, they are richer now.
1. Siberia is not in Eastern Europe. 2. There is profit to be made, in several ways. First, you no longer pay for heating, so you save that amount. Then, you make money out of generating cryptocurrency. 3. The guys in TFA have built a prototype and they want to make a business out of it - sell it to people as a heating device.
I keep one room in my home warm during the winter through cryptomining - and make a profit too.
Tons of monitors with 2K resolution around. Sure, it's still 16:9 (2560x1440) compared to the classic 4:3 (2048x1536) but they do exist and not at all hard to find. So I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know why others return their online purchased items, but when I do it, it's because: - The item had incorrect specifications online, e.g. a tablet had a resolution of 1280x800 on the seller's website but 1024x600 in reality. - The pictures of the item showed it as way better looking than in reality. Think hamburgers in ads versus hamburgers in the store. - I received a different item. I can't use a pink female genitalia shaving machine on my beard.
While I don't get the lack of a headphone jack in the other phones, here it makes a bit of sense. The speakers get in the way, I guess. Frankly if I had the money I would buy this phone, the design is strangely appealing to me.
R7 1700 (which I own) has 3.0 GHz base frequency, 3.7 GHz boost frequency and max 3.75 GHz boost frequency with XFR. i7 6800K (which I also own) has 3.4 GHz base frequency, 3.6 GHz boost frequency and max 3.8 GHz boost frequency with TBM 3.0.
My R7 1700 reached 3.9 GHz stable after much tinkering (900 MHz above base), I get no boot at any frequency above that. My 6800K reached 4.625 GHz stable after about 30 minutes of UEFI configuration, and at 4.75 GHz it crashes in synthetic tests but works in daily use, including Blender. Boots to UEFI but doesn't finish OS boot-up at 4.875 GHz.
I only talked about OC potential, the fact that "it's cheaper" only has so much relevance.
Steam Hardware and Software Survey: http://store.steampowered.com/... Currently showing data between April 2016 and September 2017. Includes the launch dates of AMD's latest major CPU and GPU products. AMD's GPU% dropped from 25.4% to 17.1% during the period. In the CPU Graph, AMD dropped from 23.3% to 16.53%.
Reasons for this: - Vega was a total flop. - Ryzen was hit by the a rare Linux compile bug (some source here: https://hothardware.com/news/a...). - Ryzen OC potential is modest. - Threadripper is awesome but very, very niche and not recommended for gaming due to lower IPC and frequency compared to its Intel counterpart. - And most importantly, AMD was the underdog for way too long. It's like getting back up in the boxing ring after most spectators have left for home.
Oh... I'm sorry you have to deal with that kind of struggle.
Don't be. I don't see it as a struggle, rather "life is shit and I live in it" - kind of like taking each moment at a time and wait for the big finale of a rather poorly played show.
I'm sure it isn't easy coping with that kind of thing and I appreciate you being candid about it, obviously that changes the discussion.
I don't mind talking about it, over the years I've become detached, I look at myself like watching TV: there's some dude there with a miserable life and I am watching the show. The only difference being there's only one channel and you can't turn the TV off, so you're stuck with the 24/7 show. It has become... not hard. Just... normal, I guess.
I do have to ask - if you had a suicidal friend, wouldn't you still want to help them reconsider, or at least wait it out a bit?
The problem is, my brain being in the state it is, the answer would probably offend people but whatever. No, I wouldn't. I'd just tell him "man, I gonna miss you but if you feel you want to do it, do it in such a way your body won't be horribly maimed. I'm sure some people would like to take someone they can look at into the grave." Now, my answer is obviously affected by my state of mind, and I objectively understand those who would rather have that friend alive and well for many years to come. I also think they're selfish most of the time: they mainly don't want to suffer themselves, damned the object of their concern. I've seen this in the past: people telling me "darling, I can't lose you" - sorry but how's that supposed to make me feel any better? You want my suffering to continue because you can't let go of me? How fucked up is that?
However, the problem as I see it is that suicidal ideation seems to be temporary in the vast majority of cases - suicidal feelings don't last forever, but a decision made in a bad moment can.
You do have a point there. The teen who wants to off themselves 'cause the honey dumped them are not thinking straight and need a few weeks (usually) of attention to recover. And then there's the middle aged dude who lost his entire family in a plane crash, bodies maimed beyond recognition and all - that's beyond help, that man would never ever function normally again (unless he hated their guts but I digress). FYI it was just an example, not my case.
Honest question: I'm really curious of your opinion here: do they act and behave more "manly" than other women? by that I mean: less emotional, more no-nonsense, colder mind, focused on the task at hand, less inclined to multitask.

Correct.
Tax avoidance is legal but immoral.
Tax evasion is both illegal and immoral.
Exploiting legal loopholes to your advantage is legal but immoral.
Breaking the law is illegal and immoral.
There are also activities that are morally right but illegal, for example feeding pigeons in Venice.
No, it's not.
Those are big words for "lying through omission" or rather "cheating taxes".
But these activities are not illegal, just immoral - smudging the actors a little bit.

WHAT!
That's SEXIST!

is there a firm out there trying to ride the Social justice wave to the bank? I dont know. but it is a valid question to ask.
Obviously, they all are. Some might be more successful than others.
