Danes were v poor though, wouldn't say they were disinterested. Can be a strange mindset going into a game knowing a draw is good enough, they adapted a very low risk approach.Profit before people.

Disinterested is funny.
Where's this silly bitterness come from? You watch the games to hate on them? Why watch?
That wasnt bitterness, it was a joke about the rugby crowd making a DVD after beating NZ in a friendly. You seem to have missed it, you're slipping.

If anyone hears of two tickets for David McWilliams in Vicar Street pop up can they let me know.
His live podcast is November 28th as part of the podcast festival. There's a few tickets left but all single.

I had no intention of going because I planned to go to Kilkenomics but I couldn't in the end.
I tried to get tickets for Gladwell the following night but he's sold out too.

Liking that Vindman has showed up in his military uniform, Purple Heart firmly affixed.
No doubt some Reps will try and attack him, that could backfire spectacularly. Having a cut off a decorated hero is not a good look. Wonder what poor fucker has got the job of keeping Trump off Twitter?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I have applied to do this course: Higher Diploma in Data Analytics (1 Year Online) https://www.ncirl.ie/Courses/Course-...s/course/HDSDA
I don't have a relevant degree, so I have an online aptitude test to see if I'm suitable. Does anyone know what sort of things they are likely to ask me? I assume it will be maths and statistics.

Also I took one with SHL recently, 13 questions in 10 mins, you can use their practice tests here: https://www.shldirect.com/en/practice-tests
Perhaps the numerical elements of the GMAT may be helpful to check too. You can free tests online for that too.
My experience from a number of companies for roles in this area is they generally focus deductive reasoning, basic probabilities and in some instances maybe a little conditional probability.

Vindman not doing great for Dems. Left some ambiguity and holes for Republicans to poke at.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

I wonder hector if the online course in UCD (murdrum has the link, I've forgotten the name of the course) would be better. Seems very well designed.
He speaks very highly of it but as HJ mentioned he may not have the requisite credits for entry into this. I didn't either having applied and they required me to take this beforehand: https://sisweb.ucd.ie/usis/%21W_HU_M...PROG&MAJR=F140
I was accepted into the other MSc so I didn't proceed but this course isn't available by Springboard.
The MSc above is 12k plus the prerequisite foundation course an additonal 1.5k by memory.
I assume the course HJ linked is via Springboard so maximum 10% of the above.
Certainly an option but a substantially greater outlay. I'll be paying mine off for a couple more years

I applied for the level 9 version of that course and they advised me to do the level 8 HJ linked as I didn't have a CS background. I trusted their judgement so started the l8.
I had to eject myself after a couple of weeks as the pace of the course was draining me of the will to live. They let me change over no issue. I'd go straight for the level 9 if you can HJ, tell them you've a background in statistics, big up something to do with poker with regards to programming or databases.
I don't think that it's too challenging without the background, I think they just want to get two years out of as many as possible by getting people to do the hdip before the postgrad.
I can only vaguely remember the test. It was straight forward maths, a few sequences, nothing particularly challenging.
When I did it, it was online, they gave you the question, and then you had to reason out the answer as a video? Which makes me think they don't really use the test, as I can't imagine them playing all those videos back to mark for each candidate. Maybe they outsource out the work, or it's just for edge cases.

I only found out recently that Reggaeton was a genre of music. I always just thought that music was bad Spanish pop music.
Has a comical background, never thought such a repetitive genre could be so subversive.
As a youth culture existing on the fringes of society and the law, it has often been criticized. The Puerto Rican police launched a campaign against underground music by confiscating cassette tapes from music stores under penal obscenity codes, levying fines and demonizing rappers in the media.The Department of Education banned baggy clothing and underground music from schools.[15] For months after the raids local media demonized rappers, calling them "irresponsible corrupters of the public order.During the mid-1990s, the Puerto Rican police and National Guard confiscated reggaeton tapes and CDs to get "obscene" lyrics out of the hands of consumers

Kent last week was absolutely on point. Taylor as well but not as much as Kent.
Sondland tomorrow will be the first truly republican witness. Should be interesting how he handles things. If he sings, Im still not even sure GOP sens turn.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

There's the guts of 600 million people in Latin America and we know SFA about them in general. I guess that's beyond stereotypes and limited media coverage anyway. Brazil has 200m+ population and is physically bigger than Europe.
When I was in Colombia I was stared at everywhere as an obvious gringo, think casper the friendly ghost. Yet in Brazil, a few times I was mistaken for a local and they'd ask me something in Portuguese. They have a more diverse history of immigration, in the east at least. So euro looking types are not too uncommon. Would love to get the chance to travel South America properly. I know a few IPB'ers lived there and would be keen to hear of their experiences. Heading to Sao Paulo during Carnival week next year so really looking forward to that plus caipirinhas & all you can eat bbq.
Try listening to some vallenato, sertanejo, zuke or favela funk if you haven't heard of them. Probably not up your street but it is interesting at least.

Outliers, while the same pop pyscho stuff, I do remember reading it and thinking hard on it and feeling like it changed my perspective on things.
I read parts of it again a few year after (after reading some conflicting stuff) and I was astounded that it wasn't how I remembered.

What the dog saw is my fav of his books.
Of the podcasts, I quite like http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/02-saigon-1965 Rand corporations efforts to test the resolve of those during the Vietnam War always one that stuck out to me as particularly good.
