Please explain why doing well in school can and should be attributed to the student.
Then please explain how "difficulties" in school is anyone else's fault or responsibility but the student's.
If the student has little or no responsibility, indeed, isn't even involved in their scores, then why send children to school?
You'll have a point as soon as a Latin American country (or any country) lets me live there without registering or paying taxes but still enjoying all the benefits, such as fire and police protection, free healthcare, free education.
Employment trends have been losing full-time jobs, and people have been moving to more and more part time jobs.
Because companies are downsizing and offshoring, and generally not hiring people with skills any more.
I got an idea! Let's tax the businesses more and then give that money to people that don't work. And while we're at it let's raise the minimum wage to an insane level because people who don't pull their own weight should be guaranteed a widescreen TV and fast internet connection just like people that are actually productive.
There. That should fix everything. Oh wait, I forgot about free education. We should add that on, too.
The thing about hard working Mexican immigrants is this: they're the cream of the crop. Lazy people don't uproot, go to a foreign country where they'll be in the minority, and then go find a job and work hard at it.
Working hard is, and should be, highly respected.
But our laws and our borders should also be respected. I have absolutely no problem with someone coming into my house as a guest. But I do lock my front door because I don't want just anybody walking into my house and eating my food without contributing to my household or even so much as a how-do-you-do. Furthermore, while someone is in my house they must respect my property and my customs-- it's my house not theirs.
Brain surgeons, rocket scientists, and hard-working people are respectable. Great. But that doesn't give them a free pass to abuse my home and take advantage of me nor my country.
How would you feel if someone just walked into your home, tracked mud all over your carpet, drank all your beer then demanded that he be allowed to stay without paying rent and also be given a full voice in how the house was to be run?
Illegals come over our border without our permission.
They bring in drugs which ruin the lives of our citizens, some of them are rapists and murderers and continue their habits when they're here.
They use up welfare that our productive citizens worked hard to pay the taxes for-- and the illegal immigrants don't pay into this system, or if some do they don't pay nearly as much as a citizen does.
And then to top it all off they want to continue doing all of the above and they vote in our elections!
If the people that you rightfully laud for their hard work are truly interested in becoming part of the USA family then they should be crying louder than anyone for a chance to pay back-taxes + a fine for the chance to become citizens. Any illegal immigrant that just wants a free pass is doing nothing other than taking advantage of the USA and abusing the system for all its worth.
I bet they're pretty good evidence when you don't have as big an emotional investment in the outcome.
Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.
I have two questions that perhaps you could answer for me:
1. What is the difference between a model and a prediction in this case?
2. Is a prediction the same as proof that something will occur?
If watching your parents makes you peak, and you feel it appropriate to point it into your parents bedroom at that time, you're a lot weirder than I suspected. I would also question what you mean by 'finished' college.
That's an interesting thing to say considering how grammatically maladroit you are.
Also not read TFA, who does, but I wonder if this is per man hour or per employee or per $. The reason I ask is all my Japanese friends work CRAZY long hours and have crap leave entitlements.
Country X will never improve because its culture, not its arbitrary/current situation, are what drive its problems.
Fixed.
Also, the corrolaries:
Sports team X will never improve because its culture, not its arbitrary/current situation, are what drive its problems.
The slothful and indolent will never improve their situation because its their mindset, not their arbitrary/current situation, which drive their problems.
Racial group X will never improve because its culture, not its arbitrary/current situation, are what drive its problems.
It's culture. It's all about culture. That's why it's so distressing to [social group X who "hates" or "fears" group Y] to see the moral degeneracy of our society. Sometimes they have a point. Sometimes not. Sometimes it's what's unpopular to admit in public that's what the public really needs to hear.
The ancients were wise to whisper into the emperor's ear "memento mori" but perhaps it could be generalized to "meministine quis sit invidiosum" (I'm an ignorant savage and I know absolutely nothing about latin so I used Google translate)
That's because it's not about AGW or mitigation or green anything and it never was.
It's about power, but not the kind you're thinking. It's about superpowers. It's about no longer being beholden to other countries for the electricity and power that the US and other Western countries need. It's strategy. "They" won't stay in power if the economy collapses because of oil (or the increase in its price or the lack of it)
The first thing Japan seized before WWII? Malaysia and its oil.
The reason Russia is in Syria right now? The gas and oil.
The reason anyone gives a shit about Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia etc.? The oil.
The reason Canada is still part of the UK's hegemony and why they and the US are all three very buddy-buddy? The oil.
The reason China was and is a growing problem? They're using more and more oil... but they're too big and too advanced for us to stomp back into "their place" and the same for India. So since we can't beat them the powers that be in the West have decided that the thing to do is to go in a direction where we don't compete with them for energy.
The self-righteous hippies, the science worshippers, and the community organizers are just tools and fools-- useful idiots. All of this has absolutely nothing to do with climate change or saving the planet or anything other than keeping the masses fat (literally) and stupid so that the men and women at the top can continue to live their lifestyles filled with power, money, and every kind of excess.
But don't misunderstand me: I don't blame them for wanting those lifestyles-- all of us would be doing exactly the same thing if we were that rich and powerful. I'm just saying that this whole thing is not-- and never has been-- about global climate change.
Considering that size_t is a synonym of unsigned int then in order for this to actually be a problem hlen + sizeof(struct frag_hdr) would have to be bigger than 4,294,967,295 bytes... which, if true, indicates that there's much bigger problems to worry about in that piece of code.
Remember how until recently it was legally impossible in many states for a man to rape his wife? There's no question that was a conservative decision. It's tradition. The woman is there for the use of her husband, and to act as his third leg when his own third leg is weak. Conservative values!
Nice straw man you just obliterated.
The reason it was not legally rape for a man to have sex with his wife is because marriage is a contract of monogamy and sexual service between spouses. In other words: having gotten married the two spouses pledged to always be sexually available to each other with the proviso that they both have sex only with each other.
rape (verb) : to force (someone) to have sex with you by using violence or the thread of violence -- Webster's Dictionary
So under the above philosophy the idea is that a husband having sex with his own wife-- even if she didn't want to-- wouldn't be considered rape because the usual scenario between a husband and wife is not a knife + dark alleyway + stranger + evil intent. It's instead almost always a case where she "has a headache" or just isn't in the mood or he hasn't taken a shower yet or some such.
The people you accuse would still, no doubt, consider it an ass-hole move to have sex with one's wife under such conditions they just wouldn't consider it to be comparable to rape. They don't consider it a case where the woman is there "for the use of her husband" in the sense that a couch or a car is. They consider it to be the terms of the contract that they both entered into when they got married.
And rape is most certainly a traditional social institution.
It most certainly is not! The fact that you even considered saying such a thing forces me to believe that you're not arguing in good faith.
3. The "respectful" crowd. They understand both arguments, and insist that everyone should be allowed to say anything (Yes) but... without intentional malice (No). Malice of any kind is anti-social, and anti-social behaviour breaks down society. What the other two crowds need to understand is that it's not the choice of words that matter, it's the intent that matters. Once people begin to get used to the idea that hurtful things are seldom said or done maliciously, then they can get used to coping with that. Not that's not so easy when one is under actual attack. Please don't confuse this with PC.
Who decides/judges what the intent was?
All citizens are equal in this matter: none of them have any kind of empirical, quantifiable, verifiable, or irrefutable proof of exactly what the intent was. So any judgement or offense or agreement about the intent is all just complete bullshit.
Therefore the only way to not throw the baby out with the bathwater regarding freedom of speech is to allow all of it even if it's deemed offensive by many.
Anything else ultimately evaluates to "I don't believe people should be allowed to speak their minds at all" because there's no way to have a good grey-zone-metric-- speech would not be free, it would be purely up to the whims of whatever mob heard your words.
First, the RPi2 is lower power compared even to a very new NUC. The entireRPi2 uses at maximum 420mA * 5V = 2.1W. The NUC uses between 6W and 30W.
Second, according to the summary it should be possible to add a couple of cheap chips to the RPi2 and have Gb Ethernet + SATA for a very modest increase in price. WiFi, Bluetooth, IR, etc. are totally unnecessary if all you want is a NAS or a small/cheap server. It'd be more like $60 for the mutant RPi2 vs $140 for the NUC you mentioned.
Clearly a NUC will curb-stomp an RPi2's performance. But there's definitely a "knee" to the curve between performance and price. If a mutant RPi2 can deliver the essential features at a very very low price... well, that's what the RPi is all about.
The root of my preferences lies in this need: as much space for _my_ application and as little as possible for the OS, but easily accessible when I need its functions, without running any occult desktop environments:)
A nuclear bomb has a mass of plutonium in the kilogram range. A nuclear reactor's fuel mass is in the 100-150 ton range. You are missing the difference between radiation and radionuclides.
But almost none of that escapes the plant even for a nasty event like Chernobyl. So comparing the mass of fuel doesn't matter.

Why do RPi when you could do ODROID C1+ or ODROID XU4?
ODROID C1+ Advantages:

LLVM, VisualStudio, and G++ all still name mangle. It's necessary to implement function overloading if I'm not mistaken.
