Travel › Re: Being Black In Berlin/germany by neahyo(m): 11:12pm On Jul 27, 2020

In 2017, i and 2 friends decided to visit Cologne after exams. Since we were students, we didn't have to pay for the slow train but if we were to take the fast one we had to pay.

We took the slow train to Cologne and throughout the journey we weren't inspected. On our way back home, we decided to take the fast train without paying for tickets since we weren't inspected when coming. I was sleeping, dreaming of God knows what when i felt a hand on my shoulders, i opened my eyes - lo and behold it was the train inspectors, ah aye mi temi bami!

I was asked for my ticket, i tried to play smart as a Nigerian. First i said in english that i don't understand german, then one of them spoke english to me, chai which kind life be this undecided

. Then i remembered I had some used tickets, i decided to pretend like i was searching for the tickets among the used ones hoping they will get tired or the train will get to my destination and they will let me go.

These guys patiently waited for me, in fact they took the seats behind us grin

, my friends already paid 50€ each and they were waiting for me. The inspectors told me if i don't hurry up, i will be taken to the station, immediately i heard that i brought out my debit card to pay quickly.

My 50€ was gone just like that. It was a funny ride home, we still laugh about that incident till today.

That's a wonderful paper prof wip7.

In my opinion, the huge drawback of NN and other deep learning algorithms is interpretability. Sure it trumps statistical learning techniques on predictive analysis however when you are interested in the "whys" and "what happens if" it becomes useless as the result is a black box.

For those interested in finance, economics and business graduate school (for PhD), see this https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3589832. Download it.

The link above is a sample of what our RAs do. If you're interested in becoming an RA, send us an email.

Getting an RA opportunity, in addition to at least a good academic performance and of course at least a good GRE, can increase the odds of getting into the school and programme of your dreams. We have sent our best RAs to some decent or even very good programmes to further their studies.

Boss, it's been a while you posted on this forum I assumed you were banned.
Besides, can I work part time as a RA?

CptCharlesVane:
It just means even with funding and admission that it is not guaranteed. It was hard before and I can only imagine how it will be nowadays.

For some of us here in the US it hurts especially having some money and no immigrant intent but not able to invite family over to the US because they just take the fees and refuse visas on temperament of some VO that's going to transfer debt to their kids.

The Supreme Court of the US recently passed a wealth test requirement for immigrants. Look up.

They pretend denying Oyedepo was fake news as if they don’t normally deny people visas with major investments and family in the US routinely. Just because Oyedepo is very popular they don’t want bad PR so idiots like Twoods would continue blaming Nigerians like they’re the ones that blew up the WTC.

For implications, keep your options open and expand them. If you’re good enough to get funding from the US you can get from countries in Europe and it would be easier, I hope, to migrate to the US from because truly this is the land of immigrants.

Keep your head up. Visa denial from the US would be jealousy at this point and nothing to sweat about.

What has Twoods done to you? This is the second time you're mentioning him.
You aren't the first person to school in the US and surely you won't be the last.
Live and let's live!

Congratulations BlowJobs on the birth of your child, may the Almighty grant you all the resources needed to be an awesome father. Regarding your sister-in-law, please try not to get involved in her relationship life, else it will come back to haunt you. If the person you set her up with ditch on her or the relationship goes awry, you'd be the one to blame. By the way, i also have my reservations regarding men of color, especially africans; know that not everyone is honest and open-minded like you and don't hold everyone to your standards.

Javanian:
I think I am getting sold on the UNT option. Thank you very much both of you.

Hi Javanian, Congratulations on your admit. In as much as you've been convinced by others, the truth is, PhD is not for everyone. In the same US you desire to get a PhD, don't be surprised you'd compete with candidates with BSc for same jobs (though they have other certifications). Many people dropout from the PhD program, others lose motivation to continue as they already have job offers after completing two years (and they'd be awarded a MSc). If your aim for a PhD is to get jobs, I'm sorry you have to change your mindset.

Few months ago, someone here wrote about the journey to his PhD (in Chemistry), I hope you can get the link to his story on the US student visa thread. Be sincere, where do you see yourself in 4 years? Are you ready for the rigours of research? Without having any financial issues, would you still be interested in the PhD? What if you are guaranteed to get a job after the first two years in the US, will you still select the PhD program?

I'm aware you're studying Quantitative Economics in Europe, but I'm oblivious of the institution. I've similar GPA as you, but with a bachelor's degree in Economics, what is my chance of getting a fully funded scholarship to study Quantitative Economics in your school?
Thanks as I anticipate your sincere feedback.

Hello bro,

Unfortunately, my school does not offer funding nor grants. However, you can apply for the Erasmus Quantitative Economics masters program below:

https://master-economics-qem.univ-paris1.fr

It is fully funded but it is extremely competitive, apply anyway as you miss all the shots you never take.

Scholastica16:
I actually agree with this and maybe I was too dramatic in my construction. I was panning our lack of research experience/know-how and not our ability. In ability, we are probably up there with the best if not a shade better. But in terms of cognate research experience, we are lagging far far behind.

Hi Scholastica,

It feels so good to know your resilience paid off, I'm so happy for you. Remember, "every finished line is the beginning of a new race"; you've crossed the first hurdle, now the main battle begins.

Don't forget that their grade calculations is different from the British system oh! I was caught up in hysteria on finding out my 86's and 89's were not enough to have an A+ in Europe; meanwhile with those grades in Naija I would be basking in euphoria.

With God by your side, the best is yet to come.

You can't blame them. Blame the guys who caused it but I understand where you're coming from. Sorry

If you don't own them then I don't think you have to pay. Probably a scam. Sometimes we get those letters to but just ignore. You can also call the "Anbieter" to confirm

Still they hiss or frown when you're seen with whites. Anyways, na their problem.

By the way, I tried to inquire from them but my German is poor. The letter is from: "ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio Beitragsservice 50656 Köln ". A SEPA form is included in the letter and they expect me to fill in my account details (if only they knew Yoruba blood flows in my vein hence I'm over calculative), according to them my debt is now 87.50€

I'm a bit scared and sceptical of the mail because I would be leaving in few weeks and I don't want anything to stain my 100% record. I would be grateful if you could help me inquire from knowledgeable folks or organization. Thanks.

Almost every black person lives in NRW lmao. That's the starte with tue highest percentage of black people.

And I also don't know anything about bills. I don't pay them . Still an Abiturentin

Funny enough, blacks (ladies) are not friendly, immediately you say a simple "hi", I guess the next thing on their mind is "he is an immigrant in need of a residence card".

Regarding the bills, I've been receiving mails to pay for TV and Radio which cost about 18€f but I don't own any of these appliances, is it normal?

Data Structures
Let’s take a look at some of the most common and most useful data structures in R:

1. Vectors
Vectors are lists of data that can be the same or diﬀerent types. Notice that vectors are 1-indexed (indexes start at 1 not 0). You will use the c() function a lot to combine variables into a vector.

2. Lists[/b]Lists provide a group of named items, not unlike a map.
You can deﬁne a new list with the list() function. A list can be initialized with values or empty. Note that the named values in the list can be accessed using the dollar operator ($). Once referenced, they can be read or written. This is also how new items can be added to the list.

[b]3. Matrices
A matrix is a table of data of the same type (e.g. numeric). It has dimensions (rows and columns) and the columns can be named. A lot of useful plotting and machine learning algorithms require the data to be provided as a matrix. Note the syntax to index into rows [1,] and columns [,1] of a matrix.

4. Data Frame
Data frames are useful for representing tables of your data in R. A matrix is a much simpler structure, intended for mathematical operations. A data frame is more suited to representing a table of data and is expected by modern implementations of machine learning algorithms in R. They provide useful convenience functions and properties. Note that you can index into rows and columns of a data frame just like you can for a matrix. Also note that you can reference a column using its name just like a list (df$years).

Installing and Starting R

You need R installed if you are going to learn how to work through predictive modeling machine learning problems using the platform. I believe with little computer knowledge, you should be familiar with how to download and install software on your computer. So I don’t need to go into too much detail. Let’s download and install R:

1. Start oﬀ by visiting the R Project home page at: https://www.r-project.org. You will notice that there is no direct download link, instead you are directed to a list of international mirror websites from which you can download R: https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html.

2. Select a mirror and click the link, for example the Berkley mirror: http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/.

3. You are now presented with a list of R downloads for Linux, Mac (OS X) and Windows. Each platform has its own webpage. For Linux, you can choose the appropriate platform and you will be directed to use the package manager to install R. Mac provides binaries for modern versions of the operating system, download the package. Windows provides an executable that you can download.

4. Once you have downloaded the binary package suitable for your environment, go ahead and install it. Depending on your platform, you may or may not require administration rights.

I will be skipping some minor details such as the how to use the interface and go straight to the real deal.

I will explain the basic syntax, data structures and control structures that you need to know to start reading and writing R scripts. After completing this you will know:

How to assign variables in R.
How to work with basic data structures in R like vectors, lists and data frames.
How to use basic ﬂow control structures like loops in R.
How to work with functions and packages in R.

R Syntax is Diﬀerent, But The Same

The syntax in R looks confusing, but only to begin with. It is a LISP-style language inspired by an even older language (S). The assignment syntax is probably the strangest thing you will see. Assignment uses the arrow (<-) rather than a single equals (=). Also, like many programming languages, R syntax is case sensitive. R has all of your familiar control ﬂow structures like if-then-else, for-loops and while loops. Comments in R use the hash (#) character. You can create your own functions and packages of helper functions for your scripts. If you have done any scripting before, like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, BASH or similar, then you will pick up R very quickly.

1.0 Assignment
The assignment operator in R is the arrow operator (<-). Below are examples of assigning an integer, double, string and a boolean, and printing each out to the console in turn.

Remember, do not use equals (=) for assignment. It is the biggest mistake new R programmers make, also R is case-sensitive (an example in the image below shows that)
