The increase in lifespan is more due to childhood mortality falling sharply in those years. I've always found average lifespan to be problematic. Most of the deaths weren't from 65 being the age where old age started to kill. It

This may seem snide, but it's extremely rare for a union not to be protectionist. Mostly on account of how unions join together with unions for adjunct industries. That said, I'm not convinced game development would be easily out

The gaming industry has an interesting problem: a lot of fresh college grads that want to work on games because they are passionate about games. In that case, I'm unsure of how unionizing would help much, as publishers could simply inv

Seeing that screenshot and how high well the i7-6900k hangs with much more recent hardware impresses me. I'm quite glad I went with Broadwell E. Probably means I'll be looking to upgrade around Zen 2+.
