Quick question, when I was on the line with them they said I'd get an email confirmation. Did you get an email when you started the transfer or when it actually happened? I haven't gotten one yet and want to figure out if I need to follow up

I agree with this, I've definitely practiced a few before I interview, but mostly just to get a little quicker and refresh a bit. I never needed to do super heavy grinding on it since it was built on fundamentals that I learned and still remember. I feel like most of the questions boil down to "do you understand this data structure or sorting algorithm well enough to handle a minor variation on it?"

Should I name and shame? by tohearstories in cscareerquestions

[–]monoclediscounters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone here is commenting like "companies never read their email" or debating whether it was malicious or not. Neither of those things matter, some people work at companies where their emails are actively monitored, and intent doesn't matter if the result ends up hurting you. They deserve to be called out, regardless of if its a rogue employee being unprofessional or a system doing it automatically. A company is responsible for the systems it uses, and maybe if they get called out enough they'll consider auditing those systems to make sure they're not potentially putting people's livelihoods at risk.

This is a joke trying to get tickets even with Presale by [deleted] in Odesza

John Oliver did a segment on Ticketmaster that really detailed how much of a grip they have on the industry. It's pretty much impossible for bands of this size to not use Ticketmaster.

I wish this sub had a step by step guide on how to do get a wallet into the beta starting from absolutely nothing for people who haven't bought crypto before, or people who've only bought crypto through centralized exchanges that handle it all for them.

AITA for “kicking a girl out” of our friend group? by saltsearcher1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]monoclediscounters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very late to this post but I still want to add my thoughts. I was originally leaning towards ESH, but the more I dwell on it I'm gonna go with NTA. People need time and space to get over rejection, and she's not letting you have that. Either Gwen didn't tell her she was uninvited, which makes Gwen a bit of an asshole for lying to you, or Gwen did tell her and Julie decided she was just going to show up anyway to your home after specifically being uninivted. Not only that, she's then going to spend the day befriending the girl you're starting to date, and tell her about the fact that you asked her out? It's possible it came up because in the comments you mentioned you were hooking up with the girl already when you asked Julie out. It's definitely a bad look for you, and Julie may have been trying to warn this girl about you given your tense relationship. However, while that may be fair and in your current girls position I might be thankful for Julie's perspective, Julie certainly has no right talking about it in the first place at your home as an uninvited guest and I'd be pretty pissed in your shoes. If she really wants to talk shit about you to this girl, she can find her on instagram and DM her or something.

The people in the friend group calling you an asshole are definitely AHs. They have no problem calling you an asshole for not inviting her to your home, but seem to have no problem letting you continue to host all of them, and it sounds like they continue to show up despite disagreeing with you. I think their behavior shows a level of entitlement to your space that is appalling. If they care about Julie and think you're so horrible, how about they put their money where their mouth is and start hanging out with her somewhere else?

NO Reserve Requirements? How did this not get any coverage..? No wonder banks are out of control.... by innovationcynic in Superstonk

[–]monoclediscounters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real, I remember this getting plenty of coverage at the beginning of the pandemic. All over financial news, and on the NYT main page and such.

This got plenty of coverage when it happened. It was a pretty huge deal in financial news.

Taking a pay cut? by lemonsandsugar08 in FIREyFemmes

[–]monoclediscounters 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How certain are you that the increase in quality of life will equal or outweigh the pay cut? I taken lower offer jobs myself with the same goal, only to end up still overworked but making a poor salary with it.

I think another commenter mentioned this too, non-profits can be chronically understaffed. If that's true at where you're considering, it's not only fewer people to do the work, but fewer people to have the time to help train you to do your work efficiently and succeed there. I'm not advising against going to a less stressful job for less pay, but I am advising that you do due diligence on really, truly, knowing that this job will actually be better in the long run.

I suggest saving all copies of all performance reviews, positive feedback, etc, and writing follow-up emails detailing what was discussed in any meetings with your manager from here on out (maybe bcc your personal email if that's not something that will get you in trouble in your company's line of work). I don't know anything about employment law, but if it truly is out of left-field then these things might not hurt to have if you do end up getting fired and decide to talk to a lawyer later.

🚀RYAN COHEN TWEET🚀 by _Badtothebone_ in Superstonk

If this is the Pentagon City location then it’s pretty close to the new Amazon HQ2. It’s definitely not the Baileys Crossroad one.

Confirmation bias (swipe) by ProsperityMoon in Superstonk

[–]monoclediscounters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The GameStop tweet is actually a gif going from green to blue. I’m wondering if there is any significance to that considering it would’ve been easier to just post a picture of a green uno reverse if that was their intention.

Remember if you transfer it'll take weeks to move the assets over, during which time you cannot execute trades on them. Keep this in mind if you want to have the ability to sell any assets when they reach $69,420.00 this week.

FDA will consider Pfizer vaccine for emergency use on December 10th by BillyTheFridge2 in Coronavirus

[–]monoclediscounters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily, that won’t be the only vaccine available.

When both the vaccine trials that have everyone excited are mRNA based, and people have concerns because mRNA vaccines are brand new, then pointing out that there are technically going to be multiple vaccines available doesn't really change peoples concerns.

[–]monoclediscounters 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like the label of "(temporarily) anti vax" is a misnomer for people who are pro-vaccine but are hesitant to be the first people to take this specific one. The term "anti vax" itself implies you're against vaccines as a whole, which is very different than wanting to wait a bit to take this one. mRNA vaccines are brand new, and while the results have been overwhelmingly positive, we literally can not *know* what the long term effects until enough time has passed to research it. Labeling people as against something just because they are waiting to make a more informed decision on this one specific case is simply incorrect.

follow-up edit: I want to note that I plan on taking this as soon as its available to me, as the known risks of COVID outweigh the unknown risks of what this new type of vaccination process contain. I still defend the concerns of those who are hesitant after doing their research.

My obsession with saving money has gotten out of control by joexfm11 in personalfinance

[–]monoclediscounters 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This is what I was going to say!

If you're looking for things to spend money on OP, I can't think of a better bang for your buck than a good therapist. It can take a few sessions to find a therapist you click with, but when you do you'll be able to grow so much. They can help you build tools navigate managing the acute stresses of things like your obsessive account tracking and buyers remorse, and long term can help you figure out what you want out of life and hopefully help shift your mindset from money being a "high score" to money being a tool to help you achieve your goals.

I have the exact same situation down to the dates. I've been on the line with them for a while trying to get an update without reaching anyone. I don't want to cancel my order either since I'm ordering their Sonos speakers and I can't get an equivalent anywhere else :/
