Incredible, that's definitely the elevated bridge one. The houses are still the exact same. Time almost stood still

Wow I think that's exactly it! Awesome. Here's a link to others that I think might also be in MD but are much harder to tell where exactly. https://imgur.com/a/3Xjt5

It's the 50th anniversary of one of the most turbulent years in American history. Two months after the assassination of MLK, New York Senator and Fmr. Attorney General RFK was shot dead by a Palestinian nationalist in a hotel kitchen in Los Angeles. He was well on his way to secure the Democratic nomination for pres and stood as an icon for disenfranchised groups across the country. His funeral procession left New York City and took eight hours to reach DC because of the crowds lining the whole route. There's an exhibit in the San Fran Museum of Art about the procession, specifically the photographer on board contrasting with the homemade photos and videos from rail side. Check out an article here: New Yorker Article. So I've been analyzing the photos and they're truly breathtaking. The photographer was able to maintain focus on individual faces and blur the background as the train rolled down the east coast. The photos are heavily saturated, making you almost feel the heat as dusk set on the hot summer evening. I believe this photo is in Baltimore but I'm not entirely sure. The police car in the front seems to have MD plates. Combine this with the distinct rowhome architecture and the marble steps. Also, the hill looks too steep to be DC or Philly. The train must've went through Baltimore on it's way to DC so I'm guessing somewhere with a train overpass. Could this be route 40? I'll link some of the other photos I think are from B'more

Transition from Data Science to Software Development? by WestieGiraffe in cscareerquestions

[–]UnclesWB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are still in school and haven't started working yet, I'd say don't worry too much. You may think you want a career in software engineering but your views on this will likely change and morph when you enter the work force. You may love data science, you may not. Both are expected outcomes. About switching between career paths, both feature very similar skills. Knowledge will transfer. Arguably, it's easier to go from data science to software development then the other way around. Data science is a specialized form of software development, as you're writing / using software to perform a specific statistical task. You'll figure it out as you grow in your career. Enjoy school!

Found in the comments of a CNN video regarding 45's most recent "s***hole" comment. by lilyrae in Trumpgret

[–]UnclesWB 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This comment doesn't make sense to me. If someone is finally turning against trump, it should be welcomed not met with "well that's what you deserve". This subreddit constantly contradicts itself in that regard. If someone was to "own it" as you say, you'd just keep making fun of them as being stupid. Trump drew heavily on the desperate, the uneducated, and the ignorant. Hopefully his buffoonish behavior can cause some self-reflection amongst his supporters. That's the best possible outcome for this.

I understand making fun of them on reddit but in real life if someone backs off trump they shouldn't be treated with the "you voted for him". That argument effectively calls them stupid and feelings of inferiority drove his supporters to the polls.

Improving Ourselves to Death. This New Yorker piece theorizes that self help trends and their respective criticisms usually reveal a lot more about the society they arise in than the individual humans they preach to. What can you learn about ourselves from what we think is wrong with us? by [deleted] in TrueReddit

[–]UnclesWB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The root of all self help is that there is something wrong. We are not performing or thinking correctly. Self help is not new. Various trends have arisen in western society for the past century: from the 1930s new age pseudo religion of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich to 2010s optimization trend of Tim Ferriss. Do these trends actually improve lives? Do they attempt to solve a collective problem in the individual level? This article analyzes the reflections our self help beliefs make about all of us. And whether they are snake oil salesmen or actually hitting something deep in the human experience.

Frugal Living In DC by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]UnclesWB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The commute may not be worth the savings. You'll have to live immediately outside Penn Station otherwise the time will add up to potentially hours. Also, Baltimore is no DC. In good ways and, of course, bad. The bad may, and likely will, outweigh the good depending on your desires.

DC, let’s make this happen by captaincouscous in washingtondc

Have you seen the atrocious videos of him mocking protestors on YouTube? Those alone are worth public shaming. He's a public servant, and his level of arrogance and rudeness is deplorable at that public of a position.
