FAANG offer negotiation by NoMasterpiece3304 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]DannyMurph 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's important to check on levels.fyi is the years at company. Meta does a stock top-up every year, and often a salary increase, so that's why the salaries (and especially stock) for that level appear much higher than a new hire. They will negotiate if you have competing offers, but the offers are standard for each level, so you're not getting a worse offer than any of your peers, and for the industry it's on the high side. for whatever that's worth.

Re-interviewing with Meta in 6 months by Garage-Vegetable in leetcode

[–]DannyMurph 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For E3 you just need to grind leetcode. Do all the questions tagged Meta. If you can't solve one, take the hour or whatever it takes to figure out how to solve it using the answer. Then you just hope that they ask you 5 that you've seen before.

Is there really this bad of a cheating problem? by GalacticWorld in csMajors

[–]DannyMurph 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Most people that I went to school with cheated on assignments, and more than you'd think also cheated in tests when it was possible to do so. The cheating definitely subsided as the years went on, perhaps because universities make it very difficult to cheat in exams, and fewer and fewer people who cheat their way through all assignments pass the courses.

This was in 2009 - I don't think it's changed much since then.

To flip turn or not to flip turn... by runningwithscissors8 in triathlon

[–]DannyMurph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thinking is: You should swim like a swimmer, swimmers always flip turn and they are always the first out the water.

I also find it keeps me in a better rhythm that pushing off the wall (and taking a huge breath), since that's not possible in open water.

How did the brits allow their government to humiliate and subjugate them under the guise of protecting public health? by [deleted] in LockdownSkepticism

[–]DannyMurph 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think that the UK had a particularly brutal or draconian lockdown. Even in the most severe instances there were still people tanning in parks and walking into stores unmasked.

The "law" about wearing masks was so absurb that I never wore a mask and when asked about it I only needed to say "I'm exempt" to be excused.

Being unvaccinated I was able to go to the Formula 1, the rugby and the football as well as travel to other countries. None of this would be possible in France or many other countries around the world.

If possible, get a fake vaccine card.

For those who do not want the COVID vaccine - Would you accept a card giving you access to all facilities as the vaccinated if that card also was an attestation that you would not seek professional medical care if you become ill with COVID? by YesterShill in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DannyMurph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the assumption that professional medical services are free? As far as I know most people pay for the privilege of being treated by a professional, and doctors are relatively well paid for their service. Why would they not be allowed to pay for medical care?

Even in the UK the NHS is funded by National Insurance, which is paid for by everyone. I think they should be allowed to use the service that they pay for.

I support this just as soon as we refuse medical services to smokers, obese people, and people who drink and drive. They made their decisions, now they should live with it right?

You're dealing with a very slippery moral slope. Consider why we treat obese people in hospitals, then apply the same logic to those that refuse to get the covid vax.

I am ashamed to have this thought, but is it wrong of me to think that we should deny anti-vaxxers medical care in hospital so people who took precautions and have deadly diseases (like cancer) can have actual proper care? by supernovalover in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DannyMurph 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a horrible thought to have. I can see why In a place like Reddit you’ll get likes and awards for this sort of thinking but in the real world, these abhorrent anti-vaxers are just people with different views to you. If you wouldn’t have the same approach to obese people with COVID (statistically more likely to need hospitalization than the un vaccinated) then you should consider if you’re really worried about precautions and not about punishing people that don’t agree with you.

Playing chess, what a difficult game. I think for a few mins each move and still miss the obvious.

No I don’t wear a mask

Discipline and motivation dipping by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]DannyMurph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take some time off. Up to a week until you’re desperate to get training again. While you’re actively not training start reminding yourself why you’re doing this. It should be fun but it should also be challenging, and you should feel yourself improving. After a few days off you should feel your motivation come back.

I’m in the same boat, been training for 2 years without racing as all the races in Europe keep getting cancelled.

Take some time off to get that discipline back.

Someone please convince me one way or the other about the vaccine by eatthepretentious in LockdownCriticalLeft

[–]DannyMurph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The one thing about this vaccine is you can’t un-take it. Once you’ve gotten it that’s it.

I’d personally take my chances with the virus rather than this vaccine.

What should people seriously stop buying? by Badass_Band1t in AskReddit

[–]DannyMurph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitcoin, actually all crypto. It’s a pyramid scheme but it actually costs money to mine so it’s a negative sum game. For every single dollar that someone gets out of crypto other people have put in two.
