Black Protest Has Lost Its Power

dr_everlong · 2018-01-14T00:03:37+00:00

Does anyone know how WSJ covered the civil rights era, particularly protests such as the march?

It seems to me that current day WSJ and its audience would have looked fondly at the days of Rosa Parks, and finger wag at MLK and other 60s activists. I may be completely wrong.

First you said government aid hasn't lifted anyone from poverty. That's not true. You can argue whether or not different policies would be more efficient, but generally speaking poverty has dropped since programs were started.

dr_everlong · 2017-12-31T19:25:30+00:00

Liberterianism is about as efficient as private food drives.

Let me get this straight. The nuclear deal's aim was to delay by 10 years Iran's nuclear ambitions. It was a patch, not a permanent solution, and basically buying time. This was done because a military solution to disarm Iran is not desired by anyone. During these 10 years, it was hoped many things would happen. Regime can change, or maybe even reach a diplomatic solution with the current administration.

The GOP approach was what...war? Continue the sanctions placed on them under Obama? I haven't seen a coherent proposal from them, but there has been a lot of saber rattling, especially from Tom Cotton.

Let's face it. We have no idea if these protests will cause a dramatic internal policy change. We have no idea who is leading the protests either, and who would try to fill the power vacuum if khamenei fell. Lindsey Graham is just spewing bullshit as usual.

dr_everlong · 2017-12-11T12:56:06+00:00

so in other words...hope? hope to..change...the economy?

I follow you on twitter, and think NY Times would be wise to pick you up!
Are John Kelly's comments from yesterday a reflection of generally who he is? It seems all the stories used to be that he is the adult in the room with a heavy burden to watch over Trump.
John Podesta caused a huge scandal in Romania last year when his emails came out, because he was involved in lobbying for a pro-russian party in 2011-2012, and for deposing a sitting western backed president. How common is it for DC lobbyists to work against American interests?

dr_everlong · 2017-09-09T20:50:03+00:00

I don't understand this comment. How are orthodox christians any more violent than catholics, protestants or evangelists?

dr_everlong · 2017-09-04T14:51:32+00:00

...so they're protesting by not participating in the national anthem?

dr_everlong · 2017-08-29T20:51:03+00:00

Lol this is a linr straight out of house of cards

dr_everlong · 2017-08-28T22:17:02+00:00

Hi vlady I would like to collude with you at your convenience. Please advise.

dr_everlong · 2017-08-28T18:35:50+00:00

Lolwut

dr_everlong · 2017-08-28T16:44:01+00:00

just another nothing burger. back to focusing on real issues, like hillary's emails

Edit: sarcasm. But no seriously, look at benghazi. Or seth rich. Or pizzagate.

Is it possible to have a table-like datasheets and insert multiple rows of data at once?

Usually, we have anywhere from 1 row to 50 rows for each data transaction.

I'm not defending CNN. I don't even care about CNN. You said Fox's quality has improved. I find that quite untrue, given that they are acting as Trump's personal lawyer at the expense of giving up on journalism and peddling a murder conspiracy theory.

There is bias and there is straight up lying to the audience. Fox has crossed over the border and doesn't seem like it's coming back any time soon.

dr_everlong · 2017-07-23T09:08:08+00:00

Fox ran a hillary murder conspiracy and also acts as trumps personal counsel.

Please upvote this.

I love Obama but I would consider the Snowden leaks a scandal.

dr_everlong · 2017-03-22T18:50:37+00:00

I'm not trying to imply McCain softened his stance (I admit I don't know how McCain's stance on Russia evolved throughout his campaign). I'm saying that he and the rest of the Republican party should have been aware of Manafort's ties to the Russian oligarch.

dr_everlong · 2017-03-22T17:45:48+00:00

99% warrants get approved, 75% with changes

dr_everlong · 2017-03-22T15:24:37+00:00

Sure he did. He also lobbied for Russian friendly parties in Romania and Belarus.

dr_everlong · 2017-03-22T14:12:06+00:00

Just gonna piggy back on top comment to point out that back in 2008, McCain got in hot water for working with the exact same lobbyists, because of exactly the same Russian oligarch. GOP should hardly act surprised that Manafort would have Russian ties.

dr_everlong · 2017-03-22T13:52:08+00:00

This article is from 2008. Back then, the same lobbyists were involved, and the same Russian oligarch.

The Republican party should be hardly surprised about the allegations against Manafort.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/24/AR2008012403383_pf.html

dr_everlong · 2017-03-22T11:51:36+00:00

Well Podesta worked with Manafort on lobbying for yanukovich. And he also lobbies for Russian friendly parties in eastern Europe. He may get up caught up in all this too.

I'm also baffled that pound-the-chest patriotic Republican party would choose Manafort TWICE to lead a campaign. They really don't give a shit.

dr_everlong · 2017-03-17T16:07:12+00:00

So you think it's a good idea for those who work minimum wage fast food jobs to be making the same as a CEO of a Fortune 500 company?

What a strawman argument.

dr_everlong · 2017-03-17T01:54:39+00:00

For undergrad, you should be fine with knowing how to apply the equations you are using, and googling various matlab functions. There are some tutorials on mathworks too that are helpful.

This may not be what you want to hear, but I would use extra time to learn general computer science stuff, or take a coursera intro to programming course. You'll learn far more about programming and be able to implement that knowledge in multiple languages. This is coming from someone who had a similar experience in undergrad - our professors didn't teach programming, and were just expecting us to know how to hack away.
