Dave Koller hosting! He brings up topics from the “great publication” The New York Times and talks about the new changes on the TYT network website. He also has a bone to pick with one of Cenk’s Hour 1 stories this past week.
It isn’t at all improper to add the per capita rate of two countries regarding some statistics together and then compare that so some other per capita rate. “per capita” is essentially a label like kilogram is a label. The math is simple too. You figure out the per capita rate for the two countries in question then just add them. So if China had a per capita rate of .006 (i.e. .6%) and Russia had a rate of .004 (.4%) then you can just add them together and get .01 (1%). If you then compared .01 to Louisiana’s rate which is (more made up numbers) .02 (2%) then you could say that Louisiana’s rate was more than China’s and Russia’s per capita rate combined.
Anyway, nothing is mixed, the comparison is completely legit. You are over and wrong thinking it.
Nice Mr. Rogers sweater. Unless you are an expert on typeface how can you say whether someone is the Beethoven of fonts?
As to the “per capita combined” thing, it IS really annoying how basic scientific and mathematical concepts are misused and misreported. It only happens all the time. Why is spell check telling me that per capita is wrong BTW?
Good PG although of course I missed Malcolm and Steve.
Most talk show hosts do 3 hour shows .Cenk does only two hours and Dave thinks Cenk doing PG is too much ? I could listen to Cenk for 10 hours straight, ok maybe not that much. My problem with Koller is that instead of doing a Dave Koller show the way he wants it he wants to change Cenk and TYT. If thats what I wanted to hear id listen to NPR.
Great response to that Obamacare story, Dave. That’s why I like your Post Games! I get tired of Cenk sometimes.
As for video files, you should probably make the low res like 320p or something. And if people still have trouble downloading that, they should switch to audio only.
“Russia creating war in Ukraine” is MacCain’s propaganda stance, not reality. USA have helped to overturn legitimate government in Ukraine, that was mainly elected by South-East of the country. Naturally some regions did not accept the nationalistic coup. But with support of USA, the new illegal government sent troops to suppress them. As the troops have advanced and attacked the region to captured it, they killed over 6000 people in territories that are controlled by rebels mostly by shelling. Of course, Russia had to help the rebels, as they fight against neo-Nazi gangs that USA support: https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/02/27/clapper-calls-arming-ukrainian-forces-actually-empower/ — notice how none of media ever reports on that, because it does not fit to StateDep/Ministry of Truth propaganda. Thanks to Glenn Greenwald for uncovering the truth.
Any country in similar situation would have to help rebels, so Russia does (despite official denials).
Also in regards to any streaming issues ofwhich i have encountered on several occasions. There was however one time when the player was having serious problems and someone simply put the link to the video and it opened up an external player on my TV ( I watch on a Smart TV) it played full screen without any lag issues and was downright glorious. so perhaps my suggestion would be have the buttons belowthe jwplayer be as follows.
download audio,download low res video, download video, play in external player.
Also (re older episodes), I can write a program that can batch download your past archives, then all you will need to do is upload all the old pre-2011 files and my interface will be able to figure it out and allow people to download all desired files in one shot, if you’re interested i’ll write this program (since I wrote most of it for myself anyway) and I can improve it and hand it over to you guys, this way you don’t need to link all the files once you upload them, which should save you lots of time since uploading is just a simple drag/drop work item and leaving the computer on to do the uploading.
Post here if anyone is interested in this, I will write it in .NET so all you need is the .net framework to use it (almost every computer has this anyway)
THANKS DAVE for reading the member section comments, [blackout] made a comment that might be bale to fix the skipping issue on the jplayer, it sounds like a simple fix, here is a copy paste of what he wrote: Please send to webserver manager or webmaster.

Increase the web server session timeout to a much higher number of seconds. simple fix,
Nice post game Dave! You’re right about Ana and Cenk always doing the postgame. It has gotten a little tired. I have to admit, though, that also doing a postgame without a cohost or cohosts is a little boring. That back and forth banter and storytelling is what really makes the postgame so unique. For example, if someone says something interesting the cohost will ask them to elaborate on it. If it’s just one person hosting, they might just gloss over the most interesting story! Regardless of what you guys do, I’m still going to keep watching!
Nice to know there’s someone who can talk to Cenk about anger clouding his judgement. I noticed it too, even though I’m 99% in agreement on most issues. Nice PG Dave :D

Is anyone else getting the weird red box censorship box that prohibits commenting?
YES! I was fuming the other night trying to respond to someone on another page. There was no unusual language in my post. Annoying.
Hmm….. wtf TYT? If we can’t even comment now without being censored that is seriously the last straw and membership is pointless.
Thanks for low res!!! Bringing TYT to Australia, the land of slow internet.
LOL nice NBN reference there, the right-wingers messed up our 40 billion dollar investment, bastards.
I hope I can work at TYT and help you out so you can have more time to do awesome post games like this.
I’m so glad you guys are now doing low res vids.

I meant 360p

just my 2 cents. Thanks Dave
I would hat to see the cenk Ana post game go away. I would however like to see a Dave Koller show also with the same kinda format.
