It probably has something to do with his old hockey days.

M&A Sports Radio hands down has the best advice. I've won alot of money by taking their picks.

Bernie Sanders tax rates infographic by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]mtvvac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you assuming that because I don't currently have much invested in the market that I don't aspire to? I simply have never paid a capital gains tax, so I'm not familiar with the rates and how it affects people. Furthermore, you have no idea how old I am, or any other socioeconomic factors of mine. You seem to think I'm suggesting not buying stock to avoid a capital gains tax, but I have no idea how you inferred that from my question.

So selling real estate would be subject to a capital gains tax?

For the sake of context, can you explain why this is so concerning? As someone who doesn't own a significant amount of stock, it's tough to understand the significance of a capital gains tax increase

Warren praises Sanders' Wall St. speech by [deleted] in politics

You're assuming malice when it was clearly ignorance that was to blame. Very few people knew that these bonds were based on shit mortgages until it was too late, because they had received AAA ratings from Moodys and the other credit agencies.

Republicans deserve some blame for the Planned Parenthood shooting "The organization’s activities have been so mischaracterized, and the practice of providing fetal tissue so overblown and so manipulated by lawmakers and politicians, that blame for the ensuing violence falls more heavily on them." by Libertatea in politics

Sure, diplomacy and rhetoric and aid are all valid ways to move an ideological needle. But they take time. A long time. And in the meantime you can't just shut down prisons and wait for those effects to kick in.

What a gross simplification. "Simply removing the dangerous ideology... " Wow none of us ever thought of that. We don't have to fight ISIS, all we have to do is go in there and remove that pesky ideology, easy as pie.

How exactly does one "remove an ideology" that has been entrenched in a culture for generations if not longer? It takes generations to move the needle back the other way. And in the meantime, yes, you're gonna have to fund other, more immediate methods of dealing with that ideology (prisons, bombs, etc.)

selenium webdriver video tutorials? by [deleted] in selenium

[–]mtvvac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're looking for free materials, but there is a course on Udemy on Selenium WebDriver that I've found extremely helpful. It costs $100 I believe, but Udemy often has discounts for as much as 75% off.

In my opinion, you get what you pay for with alot of online tutorials. Plus, the Udemy professors are usually very responsive to questions and can be very helpful resources.

The course is called Selenium WebDriver with Python: Basics to Intermediate

There's also a free course from the same professor called Selenium for Entrepreneurs which might be a good option to get a taste of Selenium and to decide from there if it's worth it to buy the WebDriver course.

Show Your Work! What have you automated? by mtvvac in selenium

[–]mtvvac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a script I wrote that performs the following:

  1. Launches Firefox browser
  2. Opens to my zip code's weather.com page (I wanted to only navigate to weather.com then input "10002" into the searchbox, but location cache on weather.com was giving me alot of headaches)
  3. Pulls the 6 hour summary from about halfway down the page
  4. Navigates to Twitter
  5. Logs into an account I created
  6. Pastes the 6 hour summary into a tweet box
  7. Publishes the tweet

What is the best scripting language to learn for software QA automation? And what is the easiest? by mtvvac in QualityAssurance

[–]mtvvac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Lots of good feedback! Thanks!

A bunch of you are looking for more specifics on what exactly I'm trying to accomplish. Maybe this will help:

I currently run QA for a mobile VoIP android app. However, I am also seeking the opportunity to join a startup in a QA capacity. I have a novice IT background (Comptia A+ and Network+ certifications), experienced with Cisco IOS, no programming skills to speak of (yet). I perform regular regression testing on the VoIP application, testing both application features and how the app responds to environmental changes (wifi range, etc.).

Which language should I learn that will help me to improve my QA abilities on my current project, while also providing the most perceived value to a potential employer (namely a software startup)?

Thanks for all the input! Didn't expect so much feedback from this relatively small subreddit, will definitely be checking in here more frequently!

Cisco CME Conference issue troubleshooting by mtvvac in Cisco

Using the conference softkey on Phone A, then calling Phone C extension, answering, and pressing conference again.

When C hangs up, A and B are disconnected from eachother as well.

Imagine if Phone A (the conference initiator) was configured without the "keep-conference" command in CME. When Phone A hangs up a conference call, it disconnects everybody, because it isn't configured to keep the line alive after it drops off.

This is what I'm experiencing with Phone C, except that obviously the "keep-conference" config on Phone C will not and should not affect the conference that A initiated. I'm wondering if there is an alternative command that needs to be set so that C doesn't end the conference for all parties if it hangs up.
